Dino has been an amazing help throughout the whole process of purchasing our first home. We were very impressed by his knowledge of the market and his open and honest approach. He is very pleasant to deal with and we cannot speak highly enough of Dino and his team. Thanks a lot!
When we bought our original house it was done by silent auction, we hadn't heard much about it, but we really liked the house and put our highest price. We recently decided to upgrade and when we purchased through a public auction and we actually were able to purchase it for less than we were expecting. When it came time to sell, we looked at a few agents but came back to Dino at McDonald Partners with the silent auction, everything Dino said was 100% true. We had a lot more control with a silent auction, we were able to line up our settlements. We could sit back and assess the bids and we werent locked into selling. We were very very happy with the bids that came in. It was amazing, we sold the house within 10 days for much more than we thought we would.
We spoke with a number of Agents on site, but chose Dino because he impressed us with his professionalism, enthusiasm and local knowledge. He did not disappoint. We were kept informed every step of the way and were thrilled with the final result. The silent auction is a stress-free process for both buyers and sellers. We would not hesitate in recommending Dino to anyone selling their home.
Buying a new home can be a very stressful experience especially during the purchase price negotiation period. Dino managed the process in a professional manner and guided us through the negotiations .
Dino made the whole process stress free. Communicated regularly and kept me up to date with progress. Realistic with what to expect from the market. Would recommend him
Dino was great! From the first meeting and explaining the pros and cons to each sale strategy, to late night meetings at short notice. He was very accommadating with a friendly team supporting him withh any request never to small or too large. Thank you for your help guys :-)
I would highly recommend Dino Salvatore,he was very helpful & went out of his way to ensure you are looked after 🏠🏡
Very happy with Dino as our agent. He was very personable and helped us achieve our desuref outcome. Would be happy to use him again if the need arises. Would also be hapoy to recommend him to others.
Dino was recommended to us. On our first encounter he appeared experienced, confident and trustworthy. He clearly explained the terms of our arrangement and the proposed method of sale. His recommendations for house preparation were sound and the process of finding the right buyer was as he predicted. We are absolutely confident we obtained the best sale price for our property and for that we thank Dino.
This is the second time we have used McDonald Partners and, in particular, Dino Salvatore. We interviewed 3 agents to determine who we (my brother, sister and I) thought would be the best agent to sell the property. McDonalds was not the cheapest option, but was able to best outline the current market conditions and offer a wider range of options than others. Both times we have found the McDonald's team to be more than willing to go the extra mile with an initial consultation from Dino that outlined what he thought the property needed to gain the best result (cleaning, painting, declutter and general appearance), the current ways to go to market and where he thought the best result would be derived. Further, he even advised of a number of low cost strategies that we could implement, as well as feedback from people viewing the property. This meant that we had a comprehensive marketing approach to cover all bases. All without having committed to the sale through McDonalds. After revamping my mother's unit we contacted Dino and signed the contract to sell. He again looked at the property and we agreed to timelines for the sale process and final preparation. We only had 2 Open Houses and some private viewings, but there was more than enough interest to allow him to suggest the silent auction approach and the result was well beyond our expectations. From exchange to settlement was trouble free and , on settlement, all three of us (vendor, purchaser and agent) were completely happy. All told 2 weeks on the market and 42 days settlement, and a record price for this type of unit in the block. All this when the market was only supposed to be coming back on line from Christmas 2016. It was a similar story the first time, some 2 1/2 years ago with my Mother in Laws villa. At the time, I was told that the price achieved was a "Benchmark" for the area from another agent. We couldn't be happier and are happy to recommend McDonalds to everyone !
We were immediately impressed with the initial discussion with Dino. Dino had a plan of action from the start and gave us a detailed account of how he would conduct the sale. We were similarly impressed when we met the rest of the McDonald team. Mark, Matt and Matt. Dino kept us up to date daily with the progress of the sale. They were able to achieve the price that was initially suggested. The sale has progressed without any problems. We would not hesitate to recommend Dino and the team to our friends and would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their effort. Gaynor and Bill Pollard
It was a pleasure to work with Dino to complete the sale of our property. He was professional, supportive and realistic and demonstrated excellent market knowledge, tact and patience in presenting the home, negotiating with potential buyers and accommodating the additional complications of a tenanted home. We were comfortable dealing with, and being represented by, Dino, as we felt that his attitude and values reflected our own.
