Amazing property transactions: conveyancing

Jodie and the team at McDonald Legal were so easy to deal with through the settlement process. Jodie is clear in her communication, professional and approachable through all mediums. I one hundred per cent recommend their services and will continue to use them ongoing.

Jodie Gilmore was great to deal with. She helped me purchase my first home. Pricing was transparent, contract reviews and recommendations were timely. Being a local and backed by a legal team gave me a peace of mind. Highly recommend their services.

Helped us buy our new home – we couldn’t be happier

Jodie Gilmore was our conveyancer when we sold our unit. A year later, when we began looking to buy our new home, she was the only person we wanted to work with again.

Buying a house involves much more work for a conveyancer than selling. Each property we seriously considered meant another contract of sale to review, and as this was only our second property purchase, we had very little knowledge ourselves.

Jodie made the whole process easy and stress-free. She carefully reviewed all the contracts we received, highlighted the key differences, and explained any potential pitfalls in clear terms.

Because of Jodie’s excellent work, we felt reassured and relaxed throughout the entire journey.

We would happily recommend Jodie to any of our friends looking for a conveyancing service.

Regards,
Jin Li & Liting Song

Approximate cost: $1380000

Conveyancing

Jodie has just completed conveyancing my purchase of a property this week. Recomended by my architect daughter, I chose Jodie over my previous lawyer in Doncaster. I am very satisfied with the job Jodie did from start to finish without much worries on my part. When I am ready to sell my curret property Jodie will be the one I will call for help.
Thank you Jodie for a great job well done.
John

Super efficient and highly attentive conveyancing service

Amanda helped with the sale of our apartment in Kew, Melbourne. She was highly attentive and efficient, nearly always getting back to me immediately and doing everything to keep the process on track. There was a high degree of fidelity and security with her own work processes, and I was very impressed how slick the online settlement services worked. On the day of settlement I was out of phone range, but it didn't matter, everything went like clockwork.

Amanda is amazing ... very professional!

We used Amanda for the purchase of a $1.5M property and she was amazing; she was prompt and professional throughout the whole process!

Amanda is also well connected to a lot of other professionals in the industry and this has helped us a lot!! I felt Amanda was looking out for us throughout the purchasing of the property, and had meticulous eye for detail with regards to understanding and explaining legal documents.

Looking forward to working with you in future, Amanda. Thank you for all your help!

We were very thankful to have Jodie handle the sale of our house recently.
Jodie was very efficient and diligent with the paperwork and timing as we had a quickish settlement spanning over the Xmas/New Year holiday period. Her quick response to phone calls was also very welcome.

Very happy...regards Richard and Maree

Great service, best i’ve seen

Amanda helped us with multiple purchases in the past and very recently with purchasing a new house and selling our old house. I couldn’t believe how simple and easy everything could be. She gathered all the information and that was it, she took care of the rest. She’s very responsive and pretty much available anytime/anywhere. Very highly recommend her.
