As a busy professional, navigating Sydney’s property market was overwhelming. Hiring Munro Donen from PropertyBuyer East was a game changer. With over 20 years of experience and a trusted relationship with my parents, Munro provided expert guidance and made the process stress-free. I highly recommend him to any busy professional looking for peace of mind and great results.
shayna slotar · 4 months agoWe contacted Propertybuyer and from the very first call, the engagement was professional and efficient. We were introduced to Munro and Lisa; they were the most fantastic team. They helped us with expertise in a stressful home buying moment and made it a joy. They took the time to listen and explain and share their insights. We are very thankful that we did get to work with them.
Penny · 2 months agoIf we could give 10 stars we would. We mostly dealt with Carolyn but at times Munro. They are both highly professional people and have an incredible work ethic, available almost anytime of the day & night, nothing seemed like too much trouble. We were wanting to purchase an apartment in Sydney as we have a son studying there. We live interstate, have never lived in Sydney & had no idea of the market there & had no time to research ourselves and would barely have known where to start. We contacted 3 property buyers. Carolyn impressed us with her knowledge of the local area. Once we engaged their services the speed at which they acted on our brief was incredible. Carolyn provided the opportunity to comment on lots of recently sold properties which assisted us identifying various likes and dislikes we may not have first thought of. This was then followed by lots of property suggestions with photos, videos, tips and conversations. Carolyn’s knowledge of all the apartments in our chosen area was incredible. She made what we expected to be very stressful and complicated into a very streamlined and easy process, which almost seemed like fun. This was all achieved in 2 weeks which we didn’t think was possible. They met our budget & were very well informed on property valuations as well as everything else connected to buying the property . It has been the utmost pleasure to deal with Carolyn & Munro and we are very excited about our new property purchase. We highly recommend this company, the money is well spent
Anne Taylor · 5 months agoWe recently became prospective property purchasers in Sydney after selling our family home in Perth and engaged Munro and Carolyn to support us in this process. Munro had been enthusiastically referred to us by friends and other purchasers and we met with him in Perth to discuss our plans. Since we were still in Perth, we needed someone to look at property for us and advise which properties would be suitable. We did not interview other buyers’ agent and immediately knew that Munro and Carolyn were the ones for us. We were comfortable with them and had full confidence. Almost immediately, Munro sent videos of properties on the market so as to show us comparable properties that fell within the parameters of our budget and specifications. They understood the brief from the beginning. Nothing was too hard for Munro and Carolyn. At times we were critical of the properties that they showed, but they never took that personally and just continued to show up for us. They continued to refine the search and meet with our children who are living in Sydney and who were viewing potential properties for us. They accommodated their available hours for viewing in the evenings and on weekends. One property we bid on went beyond our budget, but Munro was supportive and reassuring that we would find the one! And not too long afterwards we did! Munro negotiated brilliantly and within a day of deciding to offer, we had the property we wanted within our budget and spec! It has been such a relief to work with this pair, who made the process as simple as possible, always returning our messages and calls. Our children found the pair engaging, warm and friendly. We would not hesitate to recommend Munro and Carolyn to any prospective buyers, their knowledge of the property market is sound and their advice, though sometimes hard to hear, was correct and came through in the end. They were as happy as we were when the sale was concluded and we felt that they had really come alongside us on the journey. Cannot thank them enough!! Our dream has been fulfilled !
Vivienne Wolff · 6 months agoI had an excellent experience working with William as my buyer’s agent. From start to finish, his communication was outstanding — clear, timely, and honest throughout the entire process. Even though I was in a rush to purchase, William consistently made sure I wasn’t making decisions in haste. He was incredibly thorough and always emphasised proper due diligence, which gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind. He guided me through every step of the process, from shortlisting properties to negotiations, and helped secure the right property under the right conditions. What really stood out was his integrity and work ethic. He treats every client with equal importance, regardless of whether you’re buying a one-bedroom apartment or a luxury home. His attention to detail, transparency, and genuine care for his clients’ best interests set him apart. As a buyer, the biggest challenges were navigating the market, understanding true property value, and negotiating effectively — all of which William handled seamlessly. I chose him as my buyer’s agent because of his honesty and reputation, and I would absolutely use his services again. He made what can be a stressful process feel structured, enjoyable, and even exciting at times. I highly recommend William to anyone looking to buy property and wanting an agent who truly has their best interests at heart.
