This agent has a very comprehensive knowledge of the area. She made time to give us a private viewing. There was excellent communication over the arrangements for the auctiton.
We couldn't fault Ally at all. Right from the first meeting we felt comfortable with Ally, she is open and honest in all communication and nothing is too much trouble to follow-up. The consummate professional, Ally made sure we knew everything about our property of interest and kept us updated along the way. We highly recommend Ally, her honesty was greatly appreciated.
I have enjoyed working with you towards a very successful sale of my house. I can only give great praise for your knowledge, attention to details, and organisation of the whole process. Kind regards, Pierre Stolz
Initially when deciding to sell my house , I thought I would ask a few agents for an appraisal and get to meet them. However when I first met Ally after responding to her letterbox drop leaflet, I immediately thought Ally was very professional, confident, a good clear communicator and knows the market of lake Cathie/ Bonny Hills and port Macquarie well. Importantly, Ally is a Local and I think that helps when communicating with out of town buyers who don’t know the area well. My instincts told me to entrust the sale of my house with her and all my expectations were met. Throughout the 5 week campaign Ally kept me updated with all enquires and was always available to answer any questions. She got the price we wanted within the predicted timeframe. I have no hesitation in recommending Ally Downing as an excellent real estate agent.
Ally was extremely approachable, friendly and very helpful during the process of purchasing our property. Ally made the experience of buying a property a positive one - she was helpful, trustworthy, and keen to listen to our enquiries, questions & concerns. We hadn’t bought real estate for decades, and Ally was a lovely person to deal with at this time. We would highly recommend her. And we’re grateful for her help.
Ally was very professional to deal with during both the showing of the house, and during the negotiation of price. We felt she had both ours and the sellers best interests at heart, which was a really positive feeling when working with her. Her knowledge of both the property and the area was terrific, and allowed us to be confident we had all the information we needed to make our decision. Thanks Ally, we will not hesitate to engage you if we are in the market to sell property into the future.
Ally is warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. She went out of her way to accomodate us and she continously kept us in the loop. She even helped with some additional information around trades and schools etc. I will gladly recommend Ally. She helped ensure that our whole purchasing experience was positive and hiccup free.
Ally's thorough market knowledge, excellent communication skills and professionalism were evident from the beginning of the sales process. From the initial chat with Ally about how the sale campaign would be conducted, including the marketing of the property, Open House sessions, buyer inspections through to prospective offers and settlement was explained to me succinctly. Any questions I had Ally answered and gave me immediate feedback on the Open House sessions and all other inspections. The fact that the property was listed mid July 2025 and was under offer a fortnight after is again testament to the hard work Ally put in. Therefore I have no hesitation in recommending Ally as the "best agent" to sell your property. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ally to be your selling agent
From the onset Ally was very well organised and professional. When she came to do the initial appraisal she provided information regarding recent property sales in this area and current listings to assist in establishing a realistic price for my proprety when it went to market. She provided valuable advice re presentation of the property prior to listing and worked diligently behind the scenes to ensure that wide ranging advertising and promotional activity (eg. drone photography and open house) was effective. She was very responsive to people who showed interest in the property by conducting inspections at their request after hours and on weekends. Ally communicated effictively and maintained a tight schedule. It is credit to her professionalism and thoroughness that the property sold very quickly; this certainly exceeded my expectations.
Ally was very professional from first day I met her. Ally was very well informed about the market in the local area. With that information she gave me an estimation of the value of the property. Ally was always helpful, polite and very easy to ask her anything. Her knowledge and experience in real state was very valuable. I would recommend Ally to any interested person selling or buying a property.
Extremely helpful and patient while answering all our concerns and questions so promptly. Casey, Buyer
Ally’s knowledge and professionalism of the property were excellent. Her manner and communication skills are to be commended, along with giving constant feedback where warranted was important to me. Thank you, Ally, it was an absolute pleasure purchasing this property, the transaction was seamless. All the best for the future. Linda, Buyer
