From happy buyers and sellers!


Thanks Graham

It gives me very great pleasure to write about our rural property sale that was managed by MacDougall Rural Property Principal, Graham MacDougall.

We decided that after 50 years it was time to retire from agriculture, so we asked around town for advice about a reputable agent to sell our developed 43-acre hobby farm with five (5) bedroom residence.

The overwhelming recommendation was MacDougall Rural Property, so we arranged a meeting to discuss selling strategy, possible selling prices and the selling process details.

Graham MacDougall introduced his drone pilot, Ben Abbott, and organized a video to be made showing the many attractive features of our farm.  Ben did a great job because I was tempted to buy the place myself after viewing the video.

Graham MacDougall handled all the advertising and paperwork which resulted in more interest in this sale than the total interest we had received in all the previous offerings over the past 20 years together.

Ultimately, Graham MacDougall achieved the asking price on a single offer from among many and the sale settled about ten weeks after the first listing.

Graham MacDougall made the entire selling process so easy, keeping us informed at every step, smoothing out the few hiccups along the way and giving us confidence that retirement was indeed the correct choice for us.  It was time for another family to enjoy the property that we had developed from a boundary fence, tiny stockyard and one small dam.

Graham MacDougall comes from a farming family background so understands from hard personal experience what various agricultural enterprises require from the land.  His integrity and diligence are impeccable.

We wish MacDougall Rural Property well in their future and on the basis of our excellent experience, have absolutely no hesitation recommending Graham MacDougall as the best selling agent anywhere in New England for any rural property.

Extensive knowledge of the subject properties, local area and potential purchasers

Graham MacDougall of MacDougall Rural Property recently acted as the exclusive agent on two properties which were recently sold for us as Receivers and Managers.

I was pleased with the professional Expressions of Interest campaign run by Graham and the ultimate outcome which exceeded our expectations.

Graham’s extensive knowledge of the subject properties, local area and potential purchasers played a key role in the positive outcome. He was very professional in his dealings with all counterparties, building a strong rapport with the potential purchasers.

Graham was able to utilise his strong network to recommend suitable service providers to undertake a number of activities on the properties (weed control etc) throughout the marketing campaign.

Graham kept me up to date throughout the entire sale process which ensured I was able to provide timely updates to my clients.

I would highly recommend Graham to anybody looking to sell property within the local catchment area and have no hesitation using him again in the future should the opportunity present.

Attention Throughout the Transaction

We recently purchased a property advertised by MacDougall Rural Property, and were so grateful for the personal touch, care and attention given by Graham throughout the transaction.

While obviously giving the best care and attention to his client (the vendor), he also treated us with kindness and respect, showed genuine care and interest in our circumstances, and was fantastic to deal with at every stage. We have no hesitation in recommending Graham in the highest regard.

Knowledge of market

My family and I have used the services of Graham MacDougall on a number of occasions now, with him representing us variously as a marketing agent or a buyer’s agent. We have also purchased a farm via MacDougall Rural Property when Graham had it listed for another owner.

During each transaction, Graham’s communication with us, no matter whether he was representing us or the other party, has been second to none.

Graham’s knowledge of the New England rural property market has proven invaluable time and again.

Delighted with the result

Graham,

We wish to thank you very sincerely for the professionalism you displayed whilst you were selling Oaky, our 98ha farm property recently. A visit from you at the very beginning was appreciated, at which time you explained your conditions and obligations as our agent, and where we had the opportunity to ask questions of you.

We were delighted with the result of course, only three weeks from when we put Oaky on the market for sale until you had a satisfactory offer for us, but the whole way you showed us respect as owners and good business manners.

You kept us very well informed in many ways: on each occasion when you were taking a prospective buyer for inspection, how many inspections may happen during a particular week, when someone needed to change an inspection time or wished to have a re-inspection without you; with all these things you obliged us by advising us in advance and this was very much appreciated.

Even when an offer was made you gave us ample time to think about our options without rushing us. We have recommended your services to people along the track and will continue to do so.

Our greatest thanks.

Graham went above and beyond

We bought our first rural property through Graham in 2011. Graham was very easy to deal with and helped us to move forward with the right decision. When we started looking for our second property we went straight back to Graham.

Once again he was very obliging and happily took us to all the properties that matched our criteria. This property purchase was more drawn out and complicated than the first, but Graham worked with us and the vendor to reach a positive conclusion for both parties.

Graham went above and beyond during this period and was always available to help with any questions or issues that arose during the purchase. We thank Graham very much for helping us make two wonderful investments and look forward to any future dealings.
