We were very impressed with Downer & Co from start to finish. We felt the valuation was thorough and fair, and Leo made us feel very confident that they we could rely on them to see the sale safely through to completion- they weren't just all about the marketing like some others seemed to be. ...

Richard Bailey gave us sound advice as to valuation and marketing of our property and was always available to answer any queries or concerns we might have.

Richard arranged a viewing and dealt with our offer very quickly and professionally. We had terms agreed within 48 hours of seeing the property. Fraser then dealt with us over the lengthy time to get to exchange (through no fault of Downers) in a patient and, again, professional manner, keeping ... Read Full Review

Both Leo and Fraser were thoughtful, professional and courteous in their approach during my search for and eventual purchase of the right property for me.

Downer were recommended to me by a friend. Having never rented out a property before, I was unsure of all the steps that I needed to take and how to get started. From my initial meeting with Lee and his in depth knowledge of the industry and local area, right through to the admin backup from ... Read Full Review
Their fees seemed reasonable but I did not do a direct comparison with their competitors. It was not just about the money, I wanted to have the right agent working with me and I wasn't disappointed.

I have been a customer of Downer & Co for 5 years and would highly recommend them. I first met Lee when I was looking for an agent to rent my apartment and found him professional, down-to-earth and reliable. Lee has remained as an overall point of contact if ever I need to discuss anything ... Read Full Review
This is private between Downers and myself; but I can say that I am satisfied with the fee and the service I receive for it.

We purchased a property from Downer who were professional and proactive from the beginning, but due to no fault of Downer, the conveyancing took an extraordinary long time and which caused considerable strain.
