The Best Experience

Having not previously listed a property for sale in Lower Hutt we requested 5 agencies to pitch for us. From these we selected Lou Macdonald as the most professional agent. We were delighted with Lou's considered approach and attention to detail. Lou guided us through the whole process from de-clutter and presentation of our property through to her flair and attention to detail to the photography and marketing material. Our sale was conducted in a difficult market and yet Lou was able to achieve a clean and solid sale in line with her initial appraisal. We have already recommended Lou to our friends and acquaintances and will continue to do so based on what was our best experience.

Lou was so amazing, straight to the point and knowledgeable. We really appreciated her fast paced work ethic. Lou definitely knew her stuff and we couldn’t have asked for a better team. Matt was so great to deal with and really went the extra mile to seal the deal! Thanks to the team for everything!

Fantastic Lower Hutt based trio!

Fantastic Lower Hutt based trio!

Recently went through the experience of selling a property through Lou MacDonald + team and the experience was very much a positive one. Our primary point of contact throughout the process was Catherine. From the initial conversation right through to having a gift delivered to our house the night of possession Catherine was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Her calm, knowledgeable, friendly and understanding approach immediately made us feel comfortable. The team communicated effectively throughout the whole process, from advising recommended rectifications to the property to maximise appeal, negotiating with the home stager for a suitable, cost effective staging package, working in with and meeting contractors at the property to carry out remedial work when my work schedule wouldn't allow(a huge help!), weekly vendor reports to keep us up to date with the latest buyer interest, and a very smooth transition from being vendors to becoming sellers when an offer was negotiated and settled on. I would not hesitate to recommend Lou, Matt and Catherine to anyone or use them in future. A++!

Best marketing of our family home. Sold really quickly to another family. Lou used Top quality Building inspector, Staging and Cleaning crew. Helped us through AML and LIM report request. All done very quickly and hassle free. Recommended to all and if you accept the advice given your home will sell and even if you are buying the right home can be found for you. Keep up the excellent customer service Lou.

Many thanks to Lou and her team. The process prior to and throughout the entire campaign through to Sale was efficient and professional. We were always kept well informed every step along the way. We couldn't be happier or more satisfied with the outcome.

Can't thank them enough!

Can't thank them enough!

Lou, Matt and Catherine were incredibly compassionate, committed, and had great communication throughout the sale process. This was a particularly complicated sale, with the house not having code compliance and a number of other complications, and the owner having complex medical needs. The team provided great advice from start to finish, weren't deterred by the situation being so complicated and always kept us informed of the goings on. Most importantly, they treated my Mum (the owner) with the utmost care and respect and ensured she felt heard during what could have been a very stressful time.

Lou, Matt and the team have been amazing and so helpful throughout the process of selling our home! Right from the initial meeting through to the Sale - the help has been endless and made our lives so much easier. Their knowledge and willingness to help is incredible and I love the teams honest and open communication. So much hard work was done in the background getting us this sale, they were prepared when an offer fell through and we had immediate backup offers - this was because of the hard work and efforts from the team. Lou, Matt and the team go above and beyond to support you through the selling journey. They genuinely care and have a huge desire to help you make this the smoothest journey possible. Could not have done this without them! Thanks team x

My experience with Lou, Matt and the team was excellent from the beginning to the end of the sale process. Communication was quick and feedback regarding market conditions was fast and realistic. They worked hard to bring solid proposals to the table. They provide a timeline and despite market conditions, they were spot on. This shows that they know what they are doing. Without a doubt, I recommend them if you are selling in the regions where they are working.
