Very professional
Simone kept me up to date with all aspects of the sale. I recommend her highly!

Simone was an absolute pleasure to work with prior to the campaign, during and after the very successful auction of our home in Essendon. The whole process was dealt with great professionalism and attention to detail without being pushy and intense.
Every step we were informed of, including private inspections, open house times, knowledge of the area, our expectations of prices and the particular potential buyer profiles.
We would certainly engage Simone for any other property purchases or sales and highly recommend her as an estate agent for anyone interested in this area.

Thank you Simone for all your help in the selling of my unit in Moonee Ponds.
Simone demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise and enthusiasm during this tough and challenging market condition.

Simone was truly exceptional when it came to negotiating the purchase of this property. We were always kept abreast of the situation and critically even when there was no news, Simone was mindful to inform us, which when buying is often so important... and no doubt for the vendor, ensuring the buyers are taken care of would provide great peace of mind.
There was a level of care few agents take, and for that we are forever grateful. For both buyers and sellers, we have no hesitation in giving Simone the highest of recommendations.

With all of Simone’s strengths she was able to assist us in receiving the best result which actually exceeded our initial expectations, and we could not be happier.
We highly recommend Simone and will definitely be recommending and selecting her as our agent for future plans.

Great Service!
Simone provided us with feedback with tenant updates and helped us understand market expectations for the sale of our property.

Simone made us feel comfortable and confident from the get go. This was an overwhelming experience for us being our first home and only the second auction we had ever been to. Simone was inviting and humble. She was a pleasure to deal with and made for a memorable experience. Her knowledge and professionalism is unmatched.

The best service you could ask for!
Simone made the sale of our house stress free! With frequent updates and advice along the way! We could not be happier with our result!

I’m so thrilled I got to purchase my first property with Simone. She was so attentive, personable and genuine with her advice.
Simone was incredibly responsive and made such an effort to ensure I was feeling really comfortable and confident in my purchase. She made what’s normally a really stressful process, so much easier.
I can’t thank Simone enough.

We met Simone when she joined with Sheryl Upton to sell our property this year. We were
very grateful to have her professional input, particularly while we were preparing the property for sale and throughout the open for inspection phase.
Her expertise was obvious the first day we met her to get advice on preparing the property for sale. Our aim was to present the property in an honest light and in the best possible condition so that potential buyers could gain an impression of what it could be like. Simone’s advice was practical, ranging from small cosmetic changes to essential repairs.
Ultimately these updates led to big improvements and the result really paid off. Importantly
for us, we were able to present the property for auction in the best possible condition.

I highly recommend Simone Tramontana from McDonald & Upton Real Estate.
Simone is a professional agent who possesses a true passion for her work and excels in all areas.
From the campaign to the auction, I was updated regularly by phone calls and reports, giving me total confidence in the selling process.
The auction was a huge success and that is a testament of Simone’s ability as an agent.
If you are selling and looking for a professional team and a highly motivated agent contact
Simone Tramontana from McDonald Upton Real Estate.

Excellent Service
Simone was friendly, professional and we appreciated the service in selling our house.
Would recommend her and the company to anyone searching for an agent.

Five Star Experience!
My experience with Simone during the recent sale of my property was first rate from beginning to end. I found her highly knowledgeable, professional and a fantastic communicator, keeping me informed of all developments on a regular basis. She was also very proactive in presenting all options and adapting our campaign when a sudden and unexpected lockdown interrupted our campaign. The end result also exceeded my expectations, achieving a fantastic outcome at auction.

I found Simone to be very professional and easy to deal with during the sale of my investment property.
The process was smooth from start to finish. A very good result in a short space of time.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Simone & the team at McDonald Upton.

Working with Simone was very reassuring. I'd never sold a house before so all steps were new and unknown. I felt informed the whole way through and Simone was always in touch with any changes along the way. Everything felt under control and at a pace i was comfortable with too without any pressure of a quick sale. I'd definitely recommend Simone to friends and family as she is not your stereotypical real estate agent.

I found Simone to be Friendly, Attentive, Personable, efficient, professional, and extremely generous with her time. As a first time home buyer I had a lot of nerves and questions. Simone always provided timely advice and expertise. I always feel very comfortable throughout the entire process

Excellent agent who helped us through our first sale
Simone was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and full of resources for selling our home.
We don't live in the same city as our house and she took care of organising trade quotes and making everything followed our timeline for selling.
We had an exceptional result and I have no hesitation to highly recommend Simone.

Very Pleasant and Knowledgeable on all Aspects of the Property
Simone was very professional, genuine and pleasant to deal with in our purchasing of property at 119A Deakin Street Essendon.
Simone was prompt in organising our request for building inspection prior to auction and knowledgeable in all aspects of the purchase.
Thanks for helping to make this time a very memorable one for our family.

Having just sold my deceased father’s property for us, we were thrilled by both the result and the way the whole process was handled.
The team at McDonald Upton went above and beyond.
Simone did a great job.

Without a doubt Simone's diligence and her professional campaign has
produced a sale result well above expectations.
I recommend Simone to anyone requiring high calibre real-estate assistance.

Exceeded Expectations Again!
Simone sold a house for us last November, and the service she provided was second to none. This time around we sold our family home and she went above and beyond for us. She coordinated trades to get the place looking amazing and clearly explained our options for the marketing strategy.
Simone used her expertise to get potential buyers in early, resulting in a sale prior to the property even hitting the market.
Simone’s two best attributes are her outstanding communication skills and that she genuinely cares about her clients and what’s best for them. Selling your home can be a daunting and emotional process but Simone was there each step of the way to support us.
I would not think of selling again with anyone else. Simone was brilliant!

I reached out to Simone, as we worked together eight months ago. When I told her my situation, I was met with compassion and understanding with my decison to sell. She knew the block of apartments well and told me the challenges we would and could face regardless of my improvements. I decided to list anyway and take advantage of the Hot market. Within 2 weeks of being open we had a bidding war which saw my property see an incredible result. An unheard of result especially for a place that was only purchased eight months ago.
Before making any decision Simone let me have all the time I needed and told me I call the shots for everything. She never wanted me stressed, kept me up to date and always had my best interest in mind. " I don't care about the commission, I just want to make sure you're not stressed and Okay."

Thanks to Simone I saw an incredible Result in a block that does not see the greatest results and have been given one more chance to find a place that really is meant for me.

Compassion, Understanding, Amazing Results. That's Simone. Thank you Simone.

Couldn’t Do More!
Simone and her team bent over backwards to make the sale the best it could be.
I am very grateful for everything that was done for me.

Agent with The Midas Touch!
Simone made the selling process much easier and smoother due to her professionalism and expertise. Her sound knowledge of the market, promptness to respond and trustworthiness are above par.
Simone delivers results!

Fantastic and friendly.
Our experience with Simone to date has been fantastic. Her warmth and experience helped to guide us through the process as first-time buyers.
She has been more than happy to help us with any issues big or small.

Brilliant service and a great result.
Simone helped us sell our townhouse in Niddrie. She went over and above for us, assisting with the
preparation for sale, staging and marketing strategy, ultimately getting a sale we were thrilled within just a few weeks.
Simone is professional and has extremely good communication skills. She kept us updated consistently throughout the process and it felt like she genuinely cared about us. She made every effort to make the process as seamless and stress-free as possible.
We are grateful that we found such a brilliant agent and would happily use Simone to sell our next
home when the time comes.

Fantastic Communicator - Achieved outstanding results
Simone proved to be a dedicated passionate Real Estate agent who continually kept us updated and her communication skills are second to none. She achieved outstanding results with her commitment displayed in every task she performed. Simone took away the stress of selling and was always optimistic that she would achieve the desired result and she did. I would highly recommend Simone to anyone wanting to have not only a real estate agent represent them but a very kind and accommodating person.

Tony and Simone - Don’t go past this great team!

Simone was accessible at all times to answer our questions and we are very happy with the service provided.

A great communicator, who kept me well informed. Simone proved her ability to read the market by the result achieved. I felt at ease and comfortable to listen and take Simone’s advice leading up to auction. Simone builds great rapport by listening to her client’s needs and wishes.
Highly recommend this agent.

Very pleasant, knowledgeable & intuitive.
Simone’s communication was excellent & Sheryl Upton as a business is very good.
Would recommend in future.

Great Professional Experience!
From our first interaction, Simone impressed us with her professionalism, market knowledge and communication skills. She was most helpful and always provided feedback following inspections, communicating the opinions of those who inspected the property. We value and appreciate her guidance and assistance through the entire process. We are pleased to recommend Simone and her colleagues.

Thank you Simone for your professionalism, help, hard work and gentle persistence.
Thank you Simone for your hard work during the final stages of our sales campaign. Your gentle persistence leading to a successful sale.

Thanks again Simone.

My husband and I have been incredibly impressed with Simone's work during the sale of our property. She always kept us up to date, across purchaser feedback and ensures that we were aware of all our options.

The purchase price achieved at auction exceeded our expectations and we were thrilled with the outcome

Amazing Agent!

Excellent Communication and Service
Simone provided a high level of communication and understanding through the sales process. In turn, this made the experience as seamless as possible. Recommended.

Competent and Efficient Agent
I write to express my appreciation in the way Simone handled my investment property in Essendon. By entrusting Simon to sell my property alleviated unnecessary stress and anxiety that most vendors experience.

I am impressed with the efforts which she puts in the sale of my property and to make sure that I got the highest price. Her constant updates and easy accessibility were most assuring.

Simone certainly possess the right acumen for what she does. Her professionalism is highly commended. I have no hesitation in recommending her services to anyone who requires them.

Very Helpful
Simona was pivotal in the sale of the property for a good price in the current market. Attracted competing bidders at the auction.

Simply superb
We simply couldn't have asked for anymore from Simone in the selling of our home.
A stronger focus on rapport, friendliness and communication, it's refreshing to see a real estate agent that isn't just putting the hard sell on potential buyers from start to finish; a turn-off for many.
Simone was particularly instrumental throughout negotiations, whereby we ending up securing the sale several weeks prior to the schedule auction date. A massive relief and convenience for us.
Fantastic combination with Joe, a duo I would strongly recommend for those looking to sell.

True Professional!
I just wanted to thank Simone Tramontana for her professionalism, excellent communication and enthusiasm when it came to presenting and selling my home. It was refreshing working with someone who was genuine, trusting, authentic and such a tireless worker. I knew that every time that she was in contact with a potential buyer that she was representing myself.
I could not recommend her more highly and in fact the whole team at McDonald Upton.
Thank you!

We had heard of the great work Danielle had achieved in property sales from people in our area & we decided to give Danielle the opportunity to sell our property in Wyndham Vale.
From the first conversation with Danielle she was professional, listen to our requirements and intentions. She managed the communication to the tenant, kept us up to date nearly daily on what was happening, next steps etc. (inspections, internet, plans, sales board etc) and then after every open inspection gave us an update on how it went.
Danielle advised us on her thoughts re offers & guided us through that process. She is very passionate & takes "ownership" of the sale for you.
We were very happy with the outcome that Danielle achieved for us and we would recommend her services to anyone selling or buying a house in the future.
Thanks

Danielle was a pleasure to work with, both myself and my husband were very pleased with the service she provided us, in selling our investment property.
Her knowledge of the market was exceptional and we felt very comfortable with the whole process.
It was nice to know that we could relax, during what was a stressful time, knowing that we had such a great estate agent working for us.
Danielle has a lovely bright personality and was always honest and worth coming with information.
She negotiated a great result for us, we couldn't be happier.

Having dealt with various members of the team for many years, we decided to appoint
McDonald Upton when the time came to sell our mother's home.
We chose Simone as our agent as she was highly recommended, and it was an absolute pleasure working with her. Simone was realistic in managing our expectations in a market we were not very familiar with. She went above and beyond the call of duty on numerous occasions. Simone has outstanding communication skills and kept us in the loop every step of the way.
As I said to Paul McDonald after the auction, Simone is a star and a credit to the team at McDonald Upton. I would have no hesitation in recommending Simone to anyone who would like to work with an enthusiastic first class real estate agent. She is a thorough professional.

Thank you, Simone - you're a star!

I went with McDonald Upton to sell my house as I have dealt with Paul McDonald over a number of years in buying/selling of property. Simone Tramontana was the main agent I dealt with over the campaign, and I can highly recommend her to future clients. I was very impressed with her honesty, knowledge and commitment in doing her best for all parties. She provided excellent feedback after each OFI and kept me up to date about potential buyers, and was always very reassuring. I had a great result on auction day by Paul McDonald. I highly recommend Simone Tramontana and also McDonald Upton Real Estate.

Over the years we have purchased and sold many properties here in Melbourne and in Brisbane Queensland and through the process we have met and dealt with numerous Real Estate Agents some of which were reasonably good others not so good. It is only when we met with Simone Tramontana who is with McDonald Upton Real Estate Agency that we came to appreciate the difference between Real Estate Agents. We met Simone when we had a knock on our door, introducing herself, when the Penthouse in our building was sold, should we decide in the future to sell our unit. Simones’ approach was so professional that some months later the opportunity to sell our apartment presented itself. It was a very easy decision and that was to proceed with McDonald Upton Real Estates Agency and in particular with a direct request that Simone Tramontana represent us. Simones’ approach to the entire process was nothing other than courteous, professional, caring and most importantly compassionate and beyond anyone’s expectations. Her attention to detail and constant support to my wife was really extraordinary. Her perseverance in obtaining the price we were looking for was not easy at a softened market yet, her hard and honest work realised the sale. Simone, there is so much more we would like to say and hope that in future you remain in our life. Thank you again for all your hard work, we grew to love you as a person and a friend you made us feel to be. We wish you the very best for the future and sincerely hope that other people like ourselves get to meet you and appreciate your honest and compassionate work as we did. Thank you again Simone.

We entrusted the sale of our home to Simone and are absolutely thrilled with the result. Throughout the campaign, Simone was always available, clear and concise with communication and always had our best interests as vendors at heart. Simone’s real expertise came to the fore when negotiating with buyers to achieve the highest price possible for us and our dream price was smashed thanks to her exceptional negotiation skills. Her unwavering determination to get us the best price was exemplified when we received a call at 7 pm on a Saturday night, to let us know that she had been negotiating with 2 parties for hours and had extracted an extra $20,000 and a signed contract. Safe to say we were ecstatic. I have no problems recommending Simone to any prospective vendors as not only is she in your corner, but she jumps the ropes, throws on the gloves and fights for you.

We could not be happier with the way Simone conducted herself during our sales campaign. Nothing was too much trouble, she always went above and beyond our expectations. We were always fully informed of the progress with clear communication and she followed up every detail regarding prospective buyers. She put us at ease when things got stressful. She is honest, organised and we had complete confidence in her ability. We have no hesitation recommending Simone. Our property sold above our expectation.

I was so pleased to have Simone as our agent. I had met Simone at a previous auction where she had left a very good impression on me so much so that I was really happy to have her as my agent. Simone communicated very well throughout the auction process both after open inspections and on auction day. What was a very stressful event was made very easy with Simone and Paul's calm and thorough approach. The whole team were very professional.
Thanks Simone

I sincerely thank you and your team for managing the sale of my home. Your professional and calming demeanour eased my stress levels, so could you imagine what I normally would have been like? You’re a true professional which is a testament to your success. Thank you

To Paul McDonald and Simone Tramontana,
On behalf of Karen and myself, I would like to congratulate McDonald Upton Real Estate on the professionalism in providing their expertise on our Family Home of the last 17 years. The idea of getting ready to sell was very overwhelming and then we spoke with a few agents and I still couldn’t get the feel for what was the right way to go. I was recommended to speak to Paul through word of mouth recommendations and that is when I first met Paul and Simone. Instantly, Karen and I got this comfortable feeling that things would be in experienced and capable hands. Paul explained in our meetings how things would work and through the following weeks that is exactly what took place. Simone was very thoughtful in her ideas and took a real personal involvement in our property. My family is personally involved in fundraising to build a house for young adults living with disabilities. Thanks largely to a very sizeable personal donation form Paul McDonald we are well on our way to achieving that reality. I would have no hesitation in recommending McDonald Upton Real Estate to anyone in the future. I would be happy to discuss anything pertaining to McDonald Upton Real Estate if you would like to contact me personally.
