First home buyers!

Our overall experience with John was fantastic! We were looking to purchase our first home and he was so accommodating with recommending houses in our price range and what we were after. We especially appreciated his easy going nature and willingness to get to know us as a couple to know what we were looking for. Nothing was ever too much trouble. He was honest, approachable and extremely professional. We felt comfortable to ask John any questions we had and he would always respond in a timely manner. We are thrilled with our house and the whole process of buying our first home and want the thank John for such a great experience!

Poor buying experience, felt agent was dishonest

Poor communicator and did not have direct access to the seller (john was my only contact, but another agent had contact with the seller), poor communication resulting in them providing a verbal acceptance to another buyer, without presenting my offer to the seller, when I pushed the to present the offer the seller accepted, which I imagine would have really upset the other buyer who was told the offer was accepted and also forced me to outbid myself driving me purchase price up (may be good for the seller but very dishonest)

Excellent down to earth professional

Our experience with John was fantastic. He was always quick to respond to our enquiries and was very easy to talk to over the phone. John took the time to show us around to several properties and was able to provide us valuable feedback on each. We were glad that we were able to find the house we were looking for and John really helped us negotiate a fair price. We appreciate Johns down to earth approach and as a local was very welcoming to us coming into the Torquay community.

Great performance in a difficult market due to Covid

My first experience with John was purchasing a property on behalf of my sister where I found him very professional and easy to seal with. In listing my house for sale I had no hesitation in approaching John and did not consider any other Agency. While the market was impacted by the Covid lockdown, John remained positive, always returned calls and communicated throughout. I would recommend John and the McCartney team as hard working, professional and in my experience very fair in their dealings with both buyers and sellers. Terrific job in achieving a sale at my asking price.

Simply a Great Experience

What can we say about John, Tim and the whole team at McCartney - well they are all true superstars and the experience to buy our first home was just lovely. They made the process so easy and smooth, we can only recommend to buy with them. They listened to all our questions and went above and beyond where they could. Thank you to the entire team and we look forward to continuing our journey with you in the future.

Interesting times to sell a property.

I can only imagine how difficult it must be for an agent to sell a property during "Covid Lockdown Times". The market is strangled, draconian rules and regulations and banks sitting on their hands. Through all this, John persevered, with regular contact and encouraging advice. He obviously new more than Meg and I, as he was always confident. When the time was right he made the sale and the whole experience was seamless.

Extremely helpful

John was extremely helpful when I was buying my holiday house during the lockdown and even offered to do some detailed measuring up for me before I moved in.

Wonderful experience

I would like the time to say thank you to John and his team at Mc Cartneys real estate for handling the sale of our home. We had complete trust in John to advise us along the way with the sale price aligning with initial appraisal. John always took the time to chat and keep us informed through a difficult time in the market.
