Simon Cookson was the agent from McDonald Upton who helped us to sell our home in Essendon. Simon conducted all the inspections of our home, which was a demanding task with the "one group at a time" COVID rules in place. It meant Simon spent many hours at our home, coordinating many interested groups over the period of the campaign. A significant demand on his time and patience. We found Simon to be very experienced and knowledgeable of the area. He grew up in Essendon and knew some previous owners of our home. He was very helpful with advice through the campaign and offered a steady hand during the actual online auction. He has many years experience in Real Estate and we felt very safe in Simon's calm hands. We enjoyed a successful campaign and a great sales result. Thank you Simon and the team at McDonald Upton.

Professional and excellent local knowledge

Simon is a Subject Matter Expert in the Real Estate industry. He understands people, and how to create relationships and trust, and has a great long term reputation in the industry. His market knowledge is up to date and he has an excellent instinct for a houses value. We were very happy with the Upton McDonald sale process and Simon’s role in helping us negotiate what is always a difficult time.

Easy to work with Simon as he would be the most experienced agent in the area. His knowledge of real estate in the essendon area is second to none Highly recommend him to sell your property

Simon Cookson was professional, reliable and helpful. He kept me in the loop at all times and provided high quality feedback after each and every 'open for inspection'. Simon was also efficient and effective, particularly on the day of the auction where he was able to gain a bid on the house well above the reserve price. I am very happy with my decision to choose Simon as my real estate agent.

Simon was very knowledgeable about the area, was caring and answered all our questions promptly. He understood it was hard to sell our family home and gave us the support that was needed. A very quick sale

Simon is the consummate professional, who strives to put you at ease during the whole sales process. He takes the time to step you through the sales campaign, giving you confidence, that together you can achieve success.

Simons years of experience gave us great confidence, knowing his knowledge and professionalism would enable him to handle any problem to ensure the sale of our property.

It is now 30 years since Simon helped us sell our first house in Essendon and he has once again sold our house. His longevity is testament to his integrity in the realestate industry.

Simon was recommended to me by a friend and certainly lived up to her praise. As the campaign was halfway through when halted by the coronavirus, I was not confident a good sale would be achieved in this climate. Simon, however, worked on keeping me thoroughly informed of progress. This culminated in my receiving a very good sale despite having to cancel the auction. Simon was professional with excellent market knowledge, and I have no hesitation in recommending him along with the friendly staff of McDonald Upton.

Simon was persistent, knowledgeable, realistic and honest. Simon with his colleague Rhys obtained a price that we were very happy with in the current climate.

Simon was professional, honest and provided good feedback through-out the whole process of selling our mother's home. He was there at everyone opening and gave us constant feedback. I would strongly recommend Simon Cookson and Paul McDonald when considering selling your home.
