For Complete Confidence in Property Purchasing

We engaged Cathy to assist us to purchase a property after many months of searching ourselves.
We certainly appreciated Cathy taking on the challenge of a very specific brief, then researching, inspecting, reporting and negotiating for us to finally achieve the purchase of a property with many of the criteria on our wish list.
It has been indeed a complex journey, through fluctuations in the market, made less stressful and more successful with Cathy’s experience, expertise, assistance and guidance. We are delighted to be able to move on in our journey to our new home and highly recommend Cathy’s service.

Cathy is fantastic. As a first home buyer, it can be daunting purchasing your first home. Cathy puts your mind at ease. Her expertise alongside her willingness to go above and beyond for her clients is so valuable. Her assistance through the entirety of the process was extremely helpful. I am forever grateful. I highly recommend Cathy to any prospective purchaser.

We had the pleasure of working with Cathy in our quest to secure our primary residence, and the entire experience was truly excellent. As time-strapped individuals, delving into the intricacies of the property market seemed like a daunting task, but Cathy’s expertise and guidance made the process seamless and efficient.

Upon our initial meeting, Cathy took the time to thoroughly understand our requirements. Importantly, she assisted us in refining our expectations to align with the realities of our budget. Drawing on her extensive experience, Cathy provided tangible examples of what the market had to offer, allowing us to form a clear and realistic picture of our potential purchase.

The search phase was particularly noteworthy, with Cathy consistently keeping us in the loop regarding properties she had explored. Equally valuable was her transparency in eliminating options and explaining the rationale behind those decisions. This level of communication was invaluable given our hectic schedules.

Remarkably, within just a month, Cathy helped us secure the ideal property. While it slightly deviated from our initial location preferences, it turned out to be the perfect choice for us. Without Cathy’s keen eye and negotiation skills, we would have undoubtedly missed out on this gem.

In reflecting on the entire process, we couldn’t be more satisfied with Cathy’s service. Her dedication, market knowledge, and negotiation prowess were instrumental in making our home-buying journey a success. We wholeheartedly recommend Cathy to anyone looking for a professional, experienced, results driven property buyer’s agent.

Cathy is amazing at what she does, she helped us find our first home and without her I don’t believe we would been in the apartment we are in now, that we love so much. She also handled all of the pre and post things that need doing I really didn’t have to worry about a thing. Working fulltime I am not sure how I would have handled doing it on my own. I recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking at buying and for our next purchase we will be using Cathy’s expertise again.

Whilst I have been experienced in the property market, the experience of using McGowan Property Buyers has been invaluable. After telling myself for years that I should be purchasing my next property, I realised that I always had other priorities. It became apparent to me that the way forward was to use a buyer’s agent. It was particularly important due to being time poor that I found an agent that I could trust and could get the job done with minimal disruption to my challenging schedule. Catherine did not disappoint. In fact, she worked so hard on finding me the right property. If I had not used McGowan’s, there is no doubt I would have paid more, and ended up with an inferior property. Her expertise, professionalism, knowledge and relationships are second to none. Our search was detailed, and Catherine remained committed until we had secured the perfect property. Without her experience at auctions, I would have gone in too hard and paid too much- I had to trust her expertise, and sure enough this paid dividends in the end. I have no doubt that by harnessing the experience of McGowans Buyers Agents that I obtained the best property at the best price. Absolutely worth its weight in gold- Catherine followed up and guided me brilliantly every part of the way. Thank you.

Cathy helped us find our perfect property for the second time. Both times, we found that having Cathy on our side gave us a lot of power. She was great at understanding exactly what we needed and she has the amazing insight and knowledge of the market to get it for us. She showed us properties she thought we might like, was super candid about things that were great and things weren’t so great about each one, handled all conversations with agents, negotiated all sorts of things including auction dates(!), went to the auction and won the property for us. We could completely trust her and let her do her magic.

Cathy is a joy to work with, which is why we came back to her for our second property purchase. We wanted to buy in NSW but weren’t sure where we could afford or what type of property. Cathy came up with a solution which we hadn’t considered and it worked out perfectly for us. Cathy’s knowledge of the market is amazing; she shortlists properties and discusses their pros and cons and is realistic about what the market price is. So even if a property was listed with a price which was within our budget, Cathy would let us know what it was likely to go for so we didn’t waste time or energy on properties out of our reach. Cathy has an expert eye for reading a property and can spot potential issues or areas of concern. With Cathy arranging the viewings then we were free to view the properties whilst leaving the estate agents in Cathy’s capable hands. Cathy made the whole buying process go so smoothly and sorted out any problems that arose quickly and with minimum fuss. We can’t recommend Cathy highly enough.

It was a great pleasure to work with Cathy during our home-buying journey, and we could not be more satisfied with the experience. From the very beginning, Cathy demonstrated exceptional dedication and professionalism. What truly stood out was her attentive and considerate approach. She took the time to listen to our needs and preferences, ensuring that our concerns were addressed.
The process was challenging at times, as the market was slow, and we had unique requirements. However, Cathy helped us remain both realistic and optimistic. She did not simply present a one-size-fits-all solution; instead, she took the time to understand our specific needs, exploring different options that aligned with them. Given our highly positive experience, I am ready to recommend Cathy without hesitation.

I spent some time looking to buy the 4th property that I have owned and was not having much success in finding the right property.

I engaged Cathy to bid at an auction for me. Through this relatively short interaction, I was able to gain an insight into her knowledge of the market conditions; agents and the auction process itself. It gave me the confidence to invest in a full service search with her.

I am very happy that I made the choice to engage Cathy.

She took the time to understand the scope, my requirements, budget and test the boundaries of my property hunt. We were able to secure a property that on my own I would have not considered and Cathy was able to identify the unseen potential of the property. All of which was done in a matter of weeks.

Her full service offering and client advocacy gave me the ease of mind that everything was being taken care of throughout the whole of the acquisition process.

Cathy has excellent communication and negotiation skills and a knowledge base that was invaluable in identifying ways to maximise the value of the purchased property.

I would highly recommend Cathy to anyone purchasing a property in this area.
