Lou Macdonald

Matt and Lou were fantastic to work with! Highly professional, responsive, knowledgeable. Would happily work with them again whether buying or selling a home.

A huge thank you to Harcourts, especially Lou and Matt, for doing an outstanding job selling our property in Waiwhetū, Lower Hutt. From the initial property evaluation and value enhancement strategy to the marketing campaign and successful sale, your professionalism and dedication were exceptional throughout the entire process. Selling the property so quickly in a challenging market with very few buyers was an impressive achievement. Hats off to both of you! I truly appreciate all your hard work, guidance, and commitment. I highly recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell property.

I had the pleasure of buying with Matthew Thomason (Lou Macdonald & Co). I have dealt with a few agents, putting offers on properties, etc... No one compares. He was great, super helpful, and most importantly, I felt no pressure from him when it came to putting down an offer. The journey had a few adventures along the way, but it was met with support and understanding. If you're looking for an honest and down-to-earth agent, I would highly recommend. Thanks again.

From our first experience at the open home, we thought Lou was really professional while being down to earth and personable. She was so efficient with any form of communication, and made it really clear for us what we needed to do - which as first home buyers was so helpful to us. She was really friendly and easy to talk to, and we really enjoyed going through this process with her! Thanks so much Lou!!

The current housing market in Lower Hutt is a little tough for sellers at the moment. Lou has been very professional, and kept us updated with everything that was happening through the process, she was always pleasant to deal with and always considered all options to make sure we reached a successful sale. Thank you Lou (and the Harcourts team) for all your hard work and perseverance. We are happy with the final sale and hope that the new owners love the house as much as we did.

​Lou and Matt are an amazing team! From our very first meeting, they were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and so easy to communicate with. ​Selling in the Wellington market at the moment felt really difficult, and we were quite nervous about it. However, Lou and Matt gave us the absolute trust and confidence we needed, reassuring us that they could achieve our asking price. ​Right from the start, they guided us flawlessly. They helped us choose the perfect marketing strategy and gave us clear, practical advice on exactly what needed to be done to get our house looking highly presentable for buyers. ​One of the biggest advantages of working with them is the incredible network of professionals they have. Whether we needed a staging team, cleaners, a handyman, or a builder, they had trusted, top-tier contacts ready to help. This saved us so much time and made the home look stunning. ​Thanks to their expertise, strategic approach, and dedication, they delivered exactly on their promise. We couldn't have asked for a better team to represent us. If you want agents you can trust to get the job done even in a challenging market—we highly recommend Lou and Matt!
