Great guy.

Great guy.

Chris helped my dad buy his unit in Northbridge and unfortunately when he passed help me sell it. He was always in touch to update me and was so helpful in all repairs and staging the unit. He got us a price that was beyond our expectations. Highly recommend Chris if you are buying or selling.

We had a fantastic experience selling our home with Chris Downie and his team. From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive and supportive with clear and consistent communication at every step. His depth of knowledge of the market and steady guidance have been invaluable in helping us navigate the sale. We’ve really appreciated his professionalism and expertise and would happily recommend him to anyone looking to sell in the area.

Positive, focused and deal-oriented

We recently purchased a property and exchanged within a week of seeing it. Chris was proactive in securing acceptance of our offer and then in finalising the contract between the parties. His communication was clear, prompt and pleasant, and always focused on getting the deal done. He listened and was fair to both purchaser and vendor in the negotiation over final details. A positive experience all round.
