We have bought two homes and sold one with Douglas. He is extremely honest, intuitive and straight forward. He went out of his way to find the property each time, particularly seeking what we had asked for. He sold our home quickly as he was ready with a data base of people seeking in the market and it sold above our expected price. We are extremely impressed and trust him as a family for further real estate needs. Douglas was readily available redponding immediately to our many calls and questions. He is an exceptional and perceptive communicator. He has proven himself to be honest, trust worthy and to have alot of knowledge of the building and the property market. Our extended family and friends will choose him in the future and would not hesitate to recommend to others.

I was worried about trying to sell my late father's house - as a deceased estate that had long been unoccupied, it was definitely lacking in presentation. The garden was badly overgrown with rampant bamboo, electricity and water had been disconnected, and the home was basically serving just as storage for goods long forgotten. Douglas had sold the neighbour's house a couple of years ago, so as executor of the estate I contacted him for an opinion as to how to market my father's place and what it might be worth. I had intended to seek appraisals from several other agents in the area, but within 10 minutes of chatting to Douglas on-site I realised that wouldn't be necessary. He knew what he was talking about (having sold many houses in the same street) and didn't beat about the bush concerning the attributes and drawbacks of the property. His sincerity was very evident and I was more than happy to leave the marketing in his capable hands. It turned out that he already knew from his database of several people who would be interested. Despite advertising being minimal (which, given the condition of the house and land, was just as I wanted), several offers were submitted, and contracts were exchanged in just over a week to a local family who had previously sold their own home through Douglas. The price achieved had been accurately estimated and I was very pleased with the result, particularly the fact that the whole process had been so easy and free from stress. Douglas had successfully highlighted the potential of the property to the purchasers who will renovate the house to retain much of its unique design. It takes an exceptional agent to sell a property that doesn't lend itself to conventional marketing, and Douglas was certainly up to the challenge with the benefit of his long experience in the area and outstanding knowledge of potential buyers. Highly recommended!

Douglas Macarthur is the most genuine, hardworking, and honest salesperson I have ever met, and despite being a Sydney agent for a few decades, still hasn't lost his hometown country charm and work ethic. We have known Douglas for almost 15 years, so when it came time to sell our townhouse, we knew there was no one else we would trust to help us navigate this stressful process. The communication and feedback from Douglas has been exemplary through every step of the way. Not only did we get a text message, email and phone call after every open inspection, there was not a single day during the auction campaign that Douglas didn't touch base with us, most days on numerous occasions. And I know he spent hours and hours texting, emailing and calling potential buyers. He managed all the pre-market tradesmen, photographers, and inspectors, as well as liaising seamlessly with our conveyancer and strata agent. Before the first open home I was on my way to the property to sweep the courtyard and mop the kitchen floors, when I realised I had forgotten the keys. One quick call to Douglas to see if I could pick up his set of keys on the way through and Douglas volunteered to do the tidy up for me! To say he took the stress out of selling our property is an understatement. Come auction day, Douglas had a queue of bidders lined up out the door. Of the 11 parties registered to bid, 7 different groups tried their luck, with Douglas going around the parties to help one lucky couple secure our first home. The final price was beyond our wildest dreams, achieving a record price in the complex for a 2 bedroom, two garage townhouse, through Douglas's hard work and impressive relationship building. With his down-to-earth nature, Douglas has made many connections and will hopefully help the unsuccessful bidders find their new home soon. There is a reason people call him THE GENERAL, and his rank is definitely 5 STARS!

Thanks Douglas for making the sale of our property so quick and straight forward. We really appreciate it!

Douglas extensive local knowledge is complemented by his dedication to his clients and his desire to deliver service above and beyond their expe. A focused agent and skilled negotiator he is committed to providing a comprehensive customer service to ensure each vendor’s needs are met over the course of a sale,.

Douglas worked very diligently to sell our house in Beecroft. With his considerable local knowledge, expertise and market experience he was able to canvass across a huge body of potential purchasers. He very deliberately tried to minimise expenses for us by first consulting his own database of potential buyers, then Ray White's and finally advertised the property on Domain and Real Estate.com. Douglas organised and attended numerous house openings during the marketing period and went to lengths to ensure we were constantly apprised of the outcomes and interest. He actively negotiated on our behalf with several potential purchasers, including the eventual buyers, and again kept us constantly and immediately updated. Before the property went on market Douglas organised several trades to do necessary work on the house and surveyed and reported back to us as we were isolated in WA, as we still are. Additionally Douglas went way above ordinary expectations in organising final cleanup when we were unable to do so ourselves. This involved quite a bit of physical labour of his own. Douglas happens to be an old friend and neighbour but, still, we couldn't reasonably expect the degree of help we received. If selling in Beecroft, Douglas Macarthur is your man.

Douglas took us on the journey, explaining the process and keeping us in the loop all the way through. His dedication and focus were key to us achieving the desired outcome. The team marketed the house very professionally and the open inspections were conducted brilliantly. Could not be happier with the whole experience.

Douglas has an amazing knowledge of the local area. He is approachable and trustworthy. Nothing is too much trouble for him. Douglas has a friendly, professional manner. He works really hard to always get the best result. We have sold twice with Douglas and both times we have been more than happy with the whole experience of selling our home. Great service. Thank You Douglas!

Trustworthy and experienced agent.

Douglas was very professional and worked really hard to get us the best possible result with the current changing market. communication and attention to detail were excellent. From initial proccess he helped us to get the right house on the market ;weekly inspection meetings kept us informed on each stage of the process, and at the end produced a great result for both buyer ans seller. Thank you to Douglas… highly recommend!

We first dealt with Douglas when we purchased our property so we knew he operated with the highest professionalism and integrity. When it came to selling our property Douglas was the first person we called. His experience in the market, prompt communication and professional presentation lead to a smooth sales process with stress levels at a minimum. He was also willing to go above and beyond to arrange for dog sitters, leaf blowing and property maintenance while we were away.

Douglas has been an extremely prompt and professional real estate agent. He combines such an extensive knowledge of the Beecroft area with exceptional communication and enthusiasm. He has been a real pleasure to work with. As a family with young children we required an agent who would be flexible around our families needs. He understood this completely and went well above and beyond to assist us in selling our property. Douglas has always offered honesty and reliability which has made selling a house through him an enjoyable experience. Couldn't recommend Douglas more highly!
