We only became involved a few days before the auction. Donna and her colleagues were very helpful and very professional on the day of the auction. We are very grateful for their assistance.

We have worked with Donna and the team for a number of years now, their property management services are beyond compare, Maddi looks after the property and tenants with a lot of care and diligence. When it came to selling, Donna and the team were our number on choice and they didn't disappoint. They provided regular updates, keeping us updated on the process, the market and strategising the best way to sell our property. They make what can be a daunting process seem really easy and straight forward. You can't go wrong with the team at Spillane on your side.

Donna & her team are a stand out in this industry. From start to finish, Donna displayed excellent market knowledge, transparency in all her dealings & a professional approach on all occasions. Donna & her team took the time to get to know us & our family & as a result, developed a relationship of trust & honesty. This is definitely a strength within the Spillane team. And, they are genuinely just really nice people (who are good at what they do). They supported us throughout the journey of both buying & selling with excellent end results. We are very happy clients of this amazing team.

Donna is the honest, reliable and genuine. She did everything she said she would and more. What can be a very stressful process, she made easy. She deserves all of the accolades and recognition she receives for being the #1 Agent in Newcastle. We would happily use Donna again when buying/selling in the future. She is a class above the rest.

Donna was great to work with. She was professional and attentive, always returned calls and kept me up to date with developments. A great strategist. She sold my house for an excellent price in a period of downturn. I would recommend her!

Great team and over the moon with the result. We did our research on agencies in the area and interviewed multiple agents. It was a very clear choice in the end. The whole team did a great job in selling my home and we were stoked with the final result. We couldn’t recommend Spillane Property highly enough and would happily use them when we sell next.

Donna has won awards for her auction clearance rate. We thought this was predictive of achieving a good outcome with her agency. BUT we failed to consider just HOW this auction rate was achieved. The RIGHT questions were "How many sales were UNDER reserve?" and "What tactics did you use to get the vendor to accept such a poor result?" When we signed with this agency, everything looked slick and professional. But as Mike Tyson said, "Everyone's got a plan - until they get punched in the face". Sure enough, auction day was another story. We were told "people that want to buy in Carrington want a CHARACTER home" - not our 5 year old, superbly-built, luxurious home in as-new, display home style and condition. We found Donna avoided answering questions and would resort to ridiculous flattery and unfounded enthusiasm instead of engaging in a professional manner. Then she would simply change the subject. Bottom line was there was only one, very mediocre horse in this race. Once this buyer turned up, it seemed the agency never seriously looked for others. It was never going to turn out well for us as vendors. On auction day we were told our home would have sold for $2.5M six months prior but had (magically) dropped $650K in value in that short time. We were berated angrily during the auction that, at $100K below reserve, this buyer was already $90K over his limit. Which poses the question: What was he doing at our auction? But the substantial financial hit we took paled into insignificance compared to the furious hounding, browbeating and coercion applied by Donna in conjunction with the auctioneer. Clearly just another day at the office for Donna - but we were genuinely in shock and filled with horror. Clearly her commission, and getting the auction over with, was all important. Everything done at the auction was done to secure a bargain-basement price for this buyer and we were treated with complete contempt. Wish we'd had the benefit of being warned about this agent!

Donna and the team at Spillane Property are truly exceptional. During the entire process of taking my property to auction I was never in doubt I was in the best possible hands. In a highly professional manner, Donna communicated the sale process step-by-step, ensuring I knew what to expect, and offered expert advice right through to my property being sold at Auction. I recommend Spillane Property wholeheartedly!

Donna and her team were very responsive to how I wanted to sell my home. There advice on the market in a time of instability was spot on and their care and attention to detail was great. I was constantly kept in the loop and care and attention was always there with regular check-ins and updates. For what is meant to be an stressful process - Donna and her team made this feel easy.
