Saint Julia

Approachable, trustworthy and knowledgeable!
The dynamic duo of Joe and Julia is unbeatable!

We had the pleasure of using Julia and the McDonald Upton team to sell our house in Essendon.
From the very outset we were taken by Julia’s enthusiastic and friendly manner. She is very genuine and sincere which helps her to very quickly establish a relationship of trust with both vendor and buyers. We found Julia to be totally professional and reliable. She was always punctual, always returned our calls and kept us fully informed at every stage of the sale campaign.
Julia and her team helped us achieve a great result with our sale. Her knowledge of the market and the trust that she had built with her buyers helped us achieve a result which was beyond our expectations.
We would definitely use Julia’s services again and we have no hesitation in recommending Julia’s
services to anyone looking for a completely professional real estate agent with the utmost integrity.

Julia assisted us with the sale of our home in North Melbourne. We had bought a property and needed to sell our existing home and settle in time for the settlement of our new purchase.
It was a very tight turnaround with Christmas/holidays looming! Julia handled our sale with urgency,
professionalism and even though the pressure was on, we didn't feel it from her at all. She made us feel comfortable and completely supported in all aspects of the sale, which is important for us as it is such a personal and emotional process.
We will continue to use Julia for all of our properties and we would highly recommend her!

Julia was fantastic to work with and had a great deal of knowledge in her field, she was very professional in her approach to the marketing and selling of my property and communicated regularly and clearly throughout the whole process and answered all my questions with ease.
l am really happy with the sale of my property. I would definitely recommend Julia for the selling or buying of your home.

Julia was great to work with. Very professional, responsive and flexible to accommodate our needs. Julia is bubbly, positive and was a real pleasure to work with.

I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Julia for the recent sale of my house. She was very organised with bringing prospective buyers through and always allowed plenty of time for me to be organised which took a lot of the stress out of selling.
She has great communication skills & was extremely easy to deal with. She always promptly contacted me after each inspection, so we knew where we were at.
Team Julia & Joe did a wonderful job of selling my home in under 2 weeks at a price that was above expectation. I would highly recommend Julia if you’re considering selling your home.

A personable and honest experience! It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Julia over the last few months to find the right investment property for us. Her in depth knowledge of the industry and the
area along with her passion and professionalism led to a seamless transaction in very uncertain COVID times. We highly recommend Julia to vendors and buyers alike who are after a personable and honest experience that is catered to your individual needs.

Our experience working with Julia on our home was nothing short of amazing,
Julia's happy and bubbly personality made the process a lot easier and took the stress out of it.
Thank you once again Julia.

Julia made the purchase of this property very easy for us. She listened to our requirements and worked with us and the vendor to ensure a positive outcome for everyone.

Julia just sold our 1st time home/investment property. She sold it within 7 days of putting
house on market. She was empathetic of my attachment to property, she was highly communicative and fast to get back to e mails and phone calls. She is bubbly and presentable and loves Essendon area.
She gave me tips on styling house before viewings. We both feel we made the right decision choosing Julia. The sale has run smoothly and no problems what's so ever.
I highly recommend Julia. Don't bother going anywhere else

Julia was great to deal with in purchasing a property. Helpful and communicative with us and the property was well presented for sale. Having met the vendors, they were very appreciative of Julia and Joe's role as agent.

Perfection from Start to Finish
It will be hard to put into words just how incredible the selling experience was with Julia Murphy as our agent. The entire process from start to finish was handled flawlessly and with so much care, attention to detail and professionalism provided throughout. From the moment we met Julia she provided us with so much comfort and confidence. Her knowledge of not just the area and market but the buyers could not have been more spot-on. Julia's planning of the entire campaign was done to absolute perfection and the end result a testament to the amount of hard work she put into every fine detail. I simply have no doubt without Julia we would not have achieved the result we did. I honestly cannot recommend Julia enough. If you are looking for a Sales Agent that knows her market and buyers, an agent that puts attention into every little detail of the campaign, one who is honest and builds rapport with not just you but her buyers then there simply won't be any better. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you, and what you achieved for us and the life this will provide for our young family.

Once the process began, she was there every step of the way, keeping me informed of every detail.

I was looking for a real estate company that demonstrated integrity and honesty. My experience in selling my house with McDonald Upton from start to finish was streamlined and professional. Julia Murphy is a skilled professional who you feel confident with. At all times I was kept in the loop, given honest feedback and felt I could completely trust the team with the sale of my home. I was not once promise anything that wasn't delivered and at no time felt any pressure. I would highly recommend Julia and the team at McDonald Upton.

We got to know Julia a couple of years ago when she sold our home, we then asked her to sell a little
investment property that we no longer needed a few weeks ago.
Julia tells it as it is, she does not sugar coat. This helped us to have realistic expectations. Selling your home is a big deal and Julia understands that and always gives sound advice.
Julia is always welcome to drop in for a coffee if she is in the area!

Knowledgeable and helpful!
I was very happy with Julia. She has a lot of knowledge in the area and excellent communication skills.
I would recommend her to anyone.
Thanks Julia - you did a fantastic job.

Great Communication and Transparency. Julia always kept is up to date and informed of the market. Very realistic and positive. Always followed up as promised and read the market extremely well.

Julia did an excellent job communicating with my wife & I at all times regarding the sale of our property. Her professionalism showed through her enthusiasm & we’re so happy to have chosen McDonald Upton.

I wanted to thank you again for your work. You gave us time to consider your advice and didn't pressure us when we weren't sure what step to take. If you hadn't given us this respect and space, we wouldn't have had this result.
We are both very grateful that we had you alongside us through the auction and sale.
All the very best

Julia was fantastic to deal with throughout the process of selling our house.
We would highly recommend Julia.

Julia gets results. She knows the market inside out. She has values – honesty, integrity and tenacity. She builds long-term relationships and she cares for her clients.
Julia is in a boutique agency that continues to succeed because it has and is unrivalled in its service offering.
She is your best advocate, your most strident and trusted advisor and she’s a thoroughly decent human being that always, selflessly and tirelessly works for client outcomes.
Julia instills confidence. You know things are going to turnout well. She’s thorough, comprehends the brief and your needs perfectly and she gives you a sense of warmth and confidence that she’s got your best interests at heart.
That’s her unique business proposition and that’s why she has our ongoing business.

An agent you can trust!
Julia was the agent for the sale of our first home.. We were very sceptical of agents in the industry and wanted someone that would have our best interest at heart. She ticked all the boxes. Julia did not only make our experience personal, but she had ample amount of knowledge on the current market which made all of our decisions easy. Julia was only a phone call away with any questions or concerns we had and we always trusted that her advice was in our best interest. We would recommend Julia to anyone who is Selling or Buying.. We will be using her ongoing for all of our properties in the future.

Strong Reliable Warm & Engaging
Julia Murphy was a breathe of fresh air for us. Always positive, attention to detail, reliable and was very clear and honest with our campaign to sell.
We did not feel pressured or alone in our processes, Julia was always readily available. We appreciated her commitment to us and the fact that we did not have multiple agents working with us.
Both Victor & I thoroughly recommend Julia, we felt at ease throughout the whole campaign.
Thanks Julia your a wonderful warm
Professional young woman.

Great approachable Agent
We decided to go with Julia from MacDonald and Upton after meeting with a few agents. We found her to be very approachable, flexible and understanding our young family. She has a good understanding of the market and was honest with her estimates of what we could achieve. She was able to negotiate and secure a price we were extremely happy with. We would not hesitate to recommend her to family and friends in the future.

Julia is very professional and I felt well informed at all times and will certainly be using her in future.

I invited Julia to appraise our home and I felt comfortable with her straight away. Julia is a straight shooter and does not tell you things you want to hear, she tells you as it is.
Unfortunately, we did not sell at auction. I am all about everything happens for a reason so I was not devastated at the time. I knew when the time was right it would sell. We stayed "for sale silently" so no advertising or open for inspections. Some time later Julia called with someone wanting to inspect. They made an offer and it all worked out. It is a stressful time and to have someone like Julia helping the process was great. Julia always took my calls and understood my whacky ways! I even asked her advice when we were purchasing our new home. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Julia and McDonald Upton Real Estate. All the best Julia!

We would like to thank Julia Murphy and Paul McDonald for the way they conducted the recent sale of our home. We've now had the pleasure of dealing with them a second time, during both the purchase of a property and sale of our family home via an auction campaign. Julia made it a painless exercise from our end with little intrusion into our daily lives, even with a toddler! She was accommodating at all times and made the selling experience less stressful than originally anticipated! We couldn't have been happier with the result and would have no hesitation in recommending Julia and McDonald Upton to anyone considering the sale of their property. A sincere thank you!

Thank you so much for your professionalism and thoughtful planning in getting my property ready for market as well as seeing it through the selling campaign. I cannot thank you enough. I’m sure the brilliant result was evidence of your hard work and the professionalism of your boutique real estate company. I certainly will sing the praises of your company whenever I get the chance. Thank you again.

Anthony and I would like to extend our sincere thanks to yourself, Julia and your team. We are extremely happy with the result and we both feel that our campaign was in the best of hands at all times. Everybody we dealt with was friendly, professional and reassuring which made a very daunting experience far less stressful for us. We would certainly recommend McDonald Upton to family and friends without hesitation!

My warmest thanks for the splendid result obtained in selling my Mother’s home. I know you worked tirelessly to achieve this and we admired your perseverance and always keeping us informed of progress.

I am most appreciative of the kind, courteous and sensitive way you treated mum - considering her age, you were very understanding of her limitations but encouraged and included her in the selling process.

Julia, you are a wonderful asset to your company.

We felt we struck GOLD with you - an outstanding result achieved in a very short time and a lovely young couple to call 13 Black Street “home”.

Again, my warmest thanks; Mum joins me in wishing you every success and happiness in the future.
