Along with a passion for travel, time off for Rhys means cruising round on his motorbike and spending precious time with his wife and their two dogs.

Rhys Afford was very professional representing McDonald Upton Real Estate. He shared his extreme knowledge with me in many ways, including recommendations for trades that I required.
He always made himself available and gave me his time if I required further information etc. Rhys was very easy to communicate with and would listen to my thoughts as well as sharing his own. He always rang me straight after an inspection with details of how
it went, and I felt confident my property was being looked after by the best possible person.
Best decision ever having Rhys Afford from McDonald Upton Real Estate to look after and
successfully selling my property.
