Don’t take our word for it

Virginia Byrne and the whole McConnell Bourn team were magnificent. We have known Virginia for many years since she first knocked on our door interested in knowing whether we were thinking of selling. She has always been respectful, unfailingly polite and patient as we have worked through the process of downsizing! As she has worked in our area for many years, she has a deep knowledge of the market. This gave us confidence in accepting her advice. Once we decided to sell, the McConnell Bourn 'machine' swung into action. Everything was done promptly and professionally. While the house was on the market Virginia regularly kept us informed of progress. We were very happy with how she handled the final negotiations. She was a delight throughout the process and we have no hesitation in recommending her.

SONAL MOORE
Professional service with a clear strategy and attention to our wants and needs. Our entire experience dealing with Virginia Byrne, from the time she knocked on our door 7 years ago to the sale of our house has been extremely positive. Virginia was professional and very mindful of our wants and needs both before, during and after the campaign. She helped project manage work being done on the house prior to the sale and was willing to communicate with all service providers. We found Virginia and her team to be respectful, positive and realistic in their views concerning our property and the sale process. In such a volatile market, we are very happy with the outcome.
CHRIS MOORE
A job well done. We placed our trust in Virginia, who has been in the background keeping us appraised of our property value for the past 8 years. When the time came to sell, the choice was obvious - although we did put her to the test against other agents in the area. That trust turned out to be well placed. We achieved a fantastic result, with a sale before auction in less than 2 weeks. All of her advice, from property presentation to sales expectations, proved to be on the money - literally! We would have no hesitation in recommending her to any vendor.
IAN DRABBLE
Exceptional Experience. I had the pleasure of working with Virginia and Jon recently. They are an excellent team in all respects from the first contact to the auction. I was quite apprehensive about the whole undertaking with the worsening market downturn, but they really delivered and showed what good agents are capable of and I feel fortunate to have found them. Virginia did a fantastic job of pulling together a trades package despite the chronic shortage of trades to help prep the house and the transformation was nothing short of spectacular. The auction was a success and we got a great result thanks to Vic the auctioneer and the McConnell Bourn team seamlessly facilitating the day. Not only are they good at what they do they are also lovely to deal with. I have no hesitation in recommending Virginia and the McConnell Bourn team. I would definitely use them again at the next opportunity.
FANCUI MENG
Professional and patient. Thanks Virginia for providing us with high-quality services. She is very professional and patient, and responded to our questions in a timely manner. She also has a high level of knowledge and knows the market very well.
HINAKO NAKATA
Professional, efficient & hardworking - very happy Vendor. We have recently engaged Virginia for the sale of our home and could not be happier with everything she has done for us. As we were a remotely located vendor, she initially managed some of the repair and maintenance and to get the property ready for sale. Nothing was ever too difficult or too much for her. She smoothly and efficiently co-ordinated everything for us. Once the property was on the market, Virginia diligently communicated with us on the interest and feedback she was receiving. The market was changing sharply for the negative - however she remained positive and strong without inflating our expectations. We thank Virginia for her hard work and the result she was able to achieve for us in a challenging market. We highly recommend any prospective vendor to sell their property with Virginia.
GARY SOUTHWELL
Great Sale. Virginia is an experienced sales agent. A realistic price range was agreed and I was kept informed throughout the sales process of comments from interested buyers. I had a good relationship with Virginia which led to a successful sale. I recommend the McConnell Bourn team.
JUDITH KLOEFER
Very professional and highly regarded. Virginia restored my faith in the process of selling after a negative experience. Her professionalism, great communication skills and follow up were exemplary. She guided me through the sale of my home in a market that was flattening and always maintained a level of professionalism even during difficult conversations. I have sold a few homes and Virginia stands out at the best agent. McConnell Bourn has got a very valued partner. Thank you.
LONG JIN
Leadership and excellent communication. I feel really lucky to have worked with Virginia to buy my dream house. She instantly filled me with confidence, always taking the time to explain the process and provide measured guidance. Thanks again.

Virginia was very professional during the sale process. She provided excellent communication with myself as vendor & potential purchasers.Her knowledge of the local real estate market & sound commercial advice assisted the successful sale. I would highly recommend her to future vendors.
GREG SINGE
Virginia is simply one of the best agents that we have ever dealt with. Efficient and professional, yet caring and considerate. Virginia kept us very well informed with what was happening at all times and was always available to discuss a problem or answer a question. Her calm manner, honesty and always positive attitude assured us we had chosen the right agent to sell our family home. Virginia gave 100% throughout the sale process and was always there for us. When we sell our next property, Virginia will be our agent. Thank you for all that you did for us, it is truly appreciated.
KAPIL KHANNA
North Shore Expert. Virginia was prompt to requests and balanced well the relationship between buyer and seller. Appreciate how she expertly managed when to give parties their space/time and when time was of the essence. Rightfully so, she is considered an expert in the North Shore area. Look forward to working with her again in the future.
DEWI TAN
I highly recommend Virginia for knowledge of the market, good communication, she is very helpful. She takes the stress out of the sale and assisted us in getting a great result together with Andrew.
JILLIAN BURGESS
Virginia is highly professional. Her calm and poised communication skills allow the vendor to make wise decisions. Her excellent knowledge of market conditions and how to present a house for inspection from painting to sanding and polishing floors to styling ensures a successful sale.
JO
Professionalism beyond expectation. Virginia you rock! Prompt responses, most friendly. Active but not pushy. Solution driven!
SUPRIYA SINGH

NIGEL HORTON
The confidence in the Team. Virginia comes with a lot of quiet confidence and her support to the McConnell Bourn selling team was clearly on show from the outset. As a vendor, we couldn't fault the comfort that was to be found in knowing that someone with Virginia's experience, provides to the whole process and despite some unexpected antics from prospective buyers, we remained reassured that Viginia and the whole team had everything in hand. In the end, for us, a great result and done well.
GEORGE PATRICK WHITAKER
Superlative effort.The sale of our unit was achieved entirely by the patience and perseverance of Andrew and Virginia -under the most challenging of circumstances - the COVID lockdowns and restrictions - PLUS the very poor concurrent marketing of another unit in the same complex - by another agent. At our first meeting, Andrew said that he would endeavour to exceed our expectations and that they did ... in Spades.
HAO JIANG
A brilliant house purchase experience. Scott and Virginia brought a seamless auction/purchase experience. They know their products, and also have a deep understanding of the local market. Just the right team of people to transact, especially in a market and environment in this year. If I am the vendor, I would like to have such a team and have no doubt that I should have peace of mind.
YANI RUAN
Very professional and very nice
MARLENE BASKIN
Professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Virginia and Jon have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. They are professional, courteous and knowledgeable. They gave us excellent advice and followed up with everything we requested. Virginia gave us great recommendations for tradesman and other services to get our house ready. Virginia and Jon kept us up to date with every progress after show days. They make a great team. They listened to us, were never pushy and we felt we could really trust them. The photography and marketing program was excellent. We would highly recommend Virginia, Jon and the team at McConnell Bourn
ANDY WANG
Five star agent. Very good with what she has been doing!
JOHN MONTGOMERIE
Right from the beginning Virginia made the selling process a well organised process which was very well coordinated with her team. I was very appreciative of how she managed the process and was always available with her recommendations and advice.
PETER OLIVER
Virginia and her team were very professional. They provided excellent market insight, strategy and negotiation input. Would be happy to recommend the services of this agency.
PETER BUCHANAN
From the beginning of of our relationship Andrew Egan and Virginia Byrne have provided exemplary real estate service in the sale of the property. Although I dealt most frequently in ongoing communications with Virginia's colleague Andrew Egan throughout, I know Virginia was also working tirelessly on our project, and had a particularly important role at the closing of the conveyancing transactions. Together they provided accurate forecasts of market circumstances and likely purchaser interests and behaviours. Their communication about ongoing developments prior to and throughout the active selling campaign has been exemplary, and assistances with preparations of the property for sale were also first-class. Any unexpected minor issues were managed with direct and accurate responses, and with aplomb. The final sale price was in fact reassuringly not affected in a major way by the current economic uncertainty
YIN LU

Virginia has been providing valuable feedback to us and has stretched herself to meet and accommodate our needs as we finalized our transaction. I definitely highly value her experience and professionalism and recommend her to any property transactions!
MASSIMO CAPELLINI
My wife and I have been very positively impressed by Virginia's professionalism. During the private inspection she showed us the property with great care and full honesty; something that we have thoroughly appreciated. The whole sale/purchase process was absolutely flawless and stress-free. Virginia was readily available during days and evening whenever we had question and we found her communication style very effective. We can't thank her enough for her support during the whole transaction (as well as beyond the purchase).
MIKE ERSKINE
Virginia was able to gauge the market during a difficult time and procure a sale
LINDA LAM-ROHLFS
It is a pleasure working with Virginia, many thanks for the help through out the entire process.
JAKE HIRD
Great experience, awesome agent. Virginia is an absolute superstar - she made the buying process much less painful than it should be, including answering calls / texts beyond usual office hours, negotiating additional property access, assisting as a go-between during the end legal process and even being super flexible with final inspection and keys. She was extremely transparent from day one; sharing documents and anecdotal information as we needed - but more importantly, she was genuinely invested in helping and knowing us... having met with dozens of agents prior, she was the only one spoke to our kids directly and asked their names, which goes a long way. What a legend - can't recommend highly enough.
XUEQING LI
Highly Recommended Agent. Thank you Virginia for your excellent service and help to find my dream house. I highly recommend her to anyone who is thinking of buying or selling. Virginia is very patient and professional and efficient for her job.
VICKI GAIL LONG
I have used Virginia for 2 sales. She is amazing. She helped me through the process step by step. Virginia, is amazing! She is professional but also has a personal touch. Her knowledge of the real-estate market is nothing but exceptional. I can not fault her and I feel very privileged to have had her sell my property. She was always available and helped me stay focused on what I needed to do. She particularly managed the difficulties related to lock down due to Covid-19, in a professional and helpful manner. This required her to go well beyond the call of duty. Nothing was too difficult for her. I can fully recommend Virginia. She is definitely the best agent I have ever come across. I can only talk very highly about her.
DAVID HALPERIN
Professional, knowledgeable and great service. Virginia was great to work with from start to finish. Always kept us up to date, was very helpful through out the process on our first sale, and was nimble as circumstances changed. She and Andrew made a great team. Cannot recommend any more highly.
JUNHAN YOON
Outstanding Service. Excellent professional service
SCOTT MACGEE
Highly professional. Virginia is incredibly knowledgeable about the market and current trends. She was upfront and honest every step of the way through the whole process. Virginia showed great compassion towards us about selling our family home and never applied any pressure. I could not recommend her more highly if you wish to sell your home. Thank you Virginia for all you did for us.
LESLIE FRANK NADOR

DOROTHY COTTEE
Very good experience with Virginia. Virginia was very good to deal with. I found her to be very knowledge about the market. She was always very polite and easy to talk to.

IVY YEUNG
Professional, knows the market. Great communicator, her valuable advice much appreciated
SUSAN GAI EDMUNDS
Pleasing results. We can’t praise Virginia Byrne from McConnell Bourn enough. We first met Virginia a couple of years ago when my father asked for a valuation of his property, and were pleased that she was involved in the sale of his property recently. Virginia and Andrew made a good team, always professional and supportive. Virginia was always able to contribute valuable input and guidance in preparing the property for sale, which we were only too pleased to take on board. Virginia always made us feel at ease throughout the process of getting the property ready for Auction. Thanks Virginia.
BENJAMIN ALBERTO ESCUDERO
Great communication, transparency, and support delivered the sale. I recently purchased a house through Virginia, and her integrity and dedication to delivering on all her commitments helped me bid with confidence on the purchase. Post exchange of contracts the fantastic service and support has continued from Virginia, no question or request has been too much of an ask. A delight to deal with.
KATHRYN SUSAN BAKER
Virginia worked hard on our behalf with strong ethics and professionalism. I highly recommend her as an agent.
ALIA NAUGHTON

ELIZABETH WEEITCH
Ten out of ten for service. Virginia was excellent. Very knowledgeable about my area. Virginia kept me up to date about the whole process of selling my property and has even given me some tips on buying. Virginia always had time to answer my questions and explained everything very clearly. I'm extremely grateful I chose McConnell Bourn.
IMAN ZARE
Highly Recommended. Virginia was very helpful to us with our recent purchase, providing us with all the information necessary and she went the extra mile when we really needed her advice. We highly recommend her.
GARY NORMAN JUDGE
Best Agent in Lindfield!!! What an impressive Agent!!!! I was referred to engage the services of Virginia from a close family friend who had also used her to sell her own home. WOW! Virginia is nothing short of the consummate professional. My wife and I have moved into aged care and understanding our situation, Virginia took control of everything. Staging, cleaning, inspections, reports you name it! Most importantly Virginia worked tirelessly for us, she genuinely had our best interests at heart. The final result was a mind blowing price for our unit. A complex record and a result way above our expectations. Could not recommend her highly enough!!!
GEOFFREY WILLIAM SULLIVAN
Honest, open, and professional. Virginia helped make the recent sale of our home in Roseville as painless as possible. Virginia, together with Jon Dundas-Smith were great to deal with. Together they gave us plenty of advice as we moved towards going on market, and kept us fully informed as open inspections proceeded. We did not sell on the day of the auction, and again their advice was priceless. Patience resulted in a great sale, so we can move forward in 2021. We highly recommend both Virginia and Jon, at McConnell Bourn Lindfield.
