Frank Dowling

To the team at Frank Dowling Real Estate, I would like to thank you all for the tremendous effort you put into the selling campaign for my development site at Roseberry Street, Ascot Vale. Not only did you sell three of the townhouses fast & efficiently but you even significantly exceeded my expectations on one of them. In past experiences with other agents I have found that the lack of face to face meetings with buyers has resulted in slow and frustrating campaigns and therefore prices that had to be reluctantly negotiated on. I have never before experienced this commitment to an off the plan sale with inspection times booked to walk people over the site. This is clearly the stand out effort that helped to sell them so fast. Then after completion of the project the adaption to reinventing the campaign for my last remaining townhouse to auction was faultless. Once again a sale was secured efficiently and again at an impressive price. I thank you for your services and I would highly recommend your company to anyone looking to sell their property. show less

Anthony Elliott was enthusiastic and encouraging from the moment we signed with Frank Dowling Real Estate. We were given a realistic price estimate for our property and were continuously updated on how the sale campaign was going. We feel it was due to the time and effort put in by Anthony and the staff at Frank Dowling Real Estate that the end result of the sale of our property exceeded even our expectations. Our thanks also to Christian Lonzi who did a superb job of running the auction. 19 Dale Ave Pascoe Vale VIC 3044 show less

Anthony was recommended to me by a friend. He was one of three agents that I invited to discuss the sale of my home. Out of three agents, I found Anthony to be the easiest to interact with, he was enthusiastic about selling my property and he provided an appraisal that was in line with my expectations. As it turned out, Anthony had excellent knowledge of the potential buyers who would be interested in my home. He generated substantial interest as evidenced by the first open which attracted 40+ groups of people. Throughout the 4 week schedule 140+ groups viewed the property. Anthony kept the inconvenience to a minimum and did not once ask for an unscheduled inspection. Each inspection was followed up with a phone call to inform me of the progress. Anthony advised very strongly to sell via auction. This was something that I had hoped to avoid and I queried this on multiple occasions. Anthony always listened to me, but continued to strongly recommend auction as he felt this method would achieve the best result. On auction day my property sold for $165,00 above reserve and obviously exceeded all my expectations. The whole sale process, on reflection, was well coordinated and competently handled. Anthony had a clear strategy which he communicated to me. He was readily able to provide justification for his methods when questioned. In terms of how Anthony conducted the actual auction.... he was dynamic, generated excitement and consequently achieved an amazing result. I would highly recommend this real estate agency and agent. show less

We would like to thank Jane and her team for their help with the sale of our house. It was our first home and was very hard to part with, despite now living in WA. Jane was extremely helpful and patient, indulging our idiosyncrasies and assisting us with the organisation of necessary pre-sale repairs from the other side of the continent. All of the team at Dowling were very professional but we especially liked the personal, female approach that Jane brought to the role. show less

Rick

There are not enough superlatives to describe Jane’s handling of the sale process from start to end. On behalf of mum and myself, it is with immense pleasure we write this genuine review for Jane Campbell, Director of Frank Dowling Real Estate Essendon. From the first phone call to Jane to the ultimate sale of mum’s family home, Jane was the ultimate professional. There are not enough superlatives to describe Jane’s handling of the process from start to end. After 62 years, mum made the agonizing decision to downsize and, as one can appreciate it was a very stressful decision. Jane’s calm, honest and transparent approach provided a first class experience throughout the process. Her expert knowledge and negotiation skills ultimately delivered the desired results. We highly recommend Jane Campbell from Frank Dowling to anyone selling. From Giovanna and Nina show less

Frankly speaking While there were challenges during covid-19, such as the moratorium which the Andrew's state labor government unfairly placed on landlords, I felt I was still in good hands with Kirsty Van Prooyen managing my property.

Leigh

In the most difficult of times imaginable, Anthony's professionalism and dedication was faultless. My property went on the market in the early days of Covid-19 lockdown. With all of the limitations that this 6 month period brought he still managed to get, and keep interested potential buyers. He reported to me almost daily on progress and with updates. When finally he was actually able to take buyers to the property the level of interest increased and the sale was made with an almost mini-auction. A very professional performance under any circumstances but considering the extreme difficulty that he was working under, it was an excellent effort. show less

I found Simone through a friend and requested an appraisal. I could tell right away on the phone we were going to connect very well. Simone met me and listened to my story of why I needed to sell my house. One of the first things I noticed was how incredibly sensitive and empathetic she was towards my situation. The sale of my house wasn't a comission to her, it was to help me begin my new life without my recently late hudband. We reviewed market strategies and chose an auction setting, however , Simone became concerned with my mental health and we chose a different tactic, which took so much pressure off of me, as she knew the stress of grief was already a lot for me to have on my shoulders. She was prompt to reply via text, call or email for any question and didn't make me feel foolish for asking them and she always contacted me after every open. We sold my property for 40% over market value in an area that could have easily seen me end up with less. And we sold it quickly, once she helped me understand that my asking price was too high for what the market was doing and the figures my area usually see for a house my size and age. What should have been one of the most stressful times in my life became the easiest. Even after the sale of my house , Simone was in constant communication to ensure I was okay with looking for a property and was able to answer more questions that I had. Simone isn't just an agent, she's a friend. She listens to you and your needs and focuses on how best to meet them and get you the best results. Thanks to Simone I sold and have been able to purchase in my desired location with a good profit left over. Not that I expect to sell anytime soon, but when I do I know I have the best agent in Melbourne in my back pocket. If you are looking to sell , use Simone and Trust her. She knows what she's doing and will help you get amazing results. show less

All three sales of my properties exceeded my expectations particularly this last property that he sold at auction last Saturday. I will not hesitate in recommending Anthony, Luke (who was also involved with the sale) and the whole team at Frank Dowling Real Estate. They were all very professional in all areas.

I am so thankful to have Jane and the Team at Frank Dowling looking after my rental property. I am kept informed of any maintenance issues along with trusted advice on the best way to proceed with repairs. I have peace of mind knowing I have the best real estate professionals actively managing my property; not just acting as a 'post box' where I need to worry about next steps. This is very reassuring because I do not live close to the property. I feel assured everything is being looked after in the best interest of my property as well as keeping the tenants happy. show less

I first went to Frank Dowling a month ago to look for a rental property. Dianne was very helpful and she gave me good advice on where and what properties to look for. i found a property on the website that interested me and Jane organised an inspection that was convenient. i really liked the property and applied to lease and was successful. I have to say that dealing with the staff has made this experience very painless and I know that all at Frank Dowling have a "can do" and caring attitude. this has made all the difference to my experience. show less

Jane was a pleasure to deal with, she did everything to get the result we wanted!

Dora

I had my property up for sale for 4 months prior to engaging Anthony to sell it. After weeks of no-shows and empty open houses Anthony had the property sold within 3 weeks with 30 day settlement. It wasn't the price I was expecting to sell for, but realism set in and the sale got done which is the main thing. If the previous agent had a better plan to sell i wouldn't have had to switch agents but i'm glad i did. The price charged for advertising was worth it; the property had good exposure and was front-and-centre in general searches that i performed on line to check the ad. The typical open house generally had more attendees than the previous agent. Anthony always answered or returned my calls and kept me in the loop with all developments during the sale, his service was well worth it and i should have got Anthony to sell it in the first instance! show less

Working together, these Essendon-based ‘boutique’ real estate agents were the perfect choice for me. Local knowledge, extensive community involvement and a high signal to noise ratio and communication style focussing on results (not the minutiae of process) facilitated the sale of my home in Niddrie. I’d highly recommend them to anyone wishing to do the same in the Strathmore-Niddrie-Essendon area of Melbourne. show less

We have sold a couple to properties through Dowling's and found that personalised service is a top priority with Anthony Elliott. His communication is great so you always know exactly what's going on and he is very willing to listen and to address any concerns. Dealing with Anthony is a really positive experience making the whole process of selling easy, straight forward and relatively stress free. His local knowledge and access to potential buyers is excellent. His office staff are really helpful too. Highly recommend Frank Dowling Real Estate and especially Anthony Elliott. show less

Have been associated with Frank Dowling since 1978. Very good family Real Estate agents and hence my decision to stay with them for 41 years.  I do not like to deal with " fly by night "type of businesses.

To whom it may concern,   We recently purchased our first home a few weeks ago and settled last week. We purchased through Anthony Elliott and Luke Liberati and just wanted to email with some feedback.   Over the last few months of house hunting we met many agents, in which we had many opinions about. Coming across Anthony and Luke - they were an absolute pleasure to deal with. They both exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond after the purchase. Even with all our extra requests they never complained it was too much; Anthony was available to answer all my concerns even after hours. Both Anthony and Luke were respectful and supportive through the entire process. I cannot speak highly enough of the pair of them, I would recommend them both to friends and family looking to purchase in the area.   Kind Regards,   Melissa Caccamo and Zoran Mitrevski   show less

My experience of purchasing this property through Anthony has been exceptionally good. We had been looking at a few properties to buy and were unsuccessful at one of Anthony's auctions a few weeks earlier. Anthony knew what we were looking for in terms of size, quality and location and keep us up to date with properties that matched our criteria. Anthony contacted us and advised that the property was for sale. He made himself available for a few short notice inspections of properties and was very efficient with providing section 32 and contract of sale. His knowledge and experience with the local area and current market are invaluable. It was a pleasure purchasing through him. He was courteous professional and efficient through the whole process. I can highly recommend him to both buyers and sellers. show less

Anthony recently helped us to sell our unit in Essendon, After our first meeting with him on 4th April till 6th July when our unit was sold he was very helpful and informative.

Mark

Anthony started the process in the most honest and transparent way possible, hence why we trusted him with selling our biggest assets and the home that would up our future. He recommended a renovation and referred us to his endless network of local high achieving businesses that know what's required to win come Auction day. We were kept updated throughout the campaign, a call after each open regardless of the time of night, any interested buyers or offers were passed on with great efficiency. Then auction day came and nothing was too hard, no question went unanswered, Anthony really made us feel comfortable that were best placed to get the result we desired. In the end, all that was needed was the sale to achieve what we'd hoped and that was certainly the case. All things considered on reflection, Anthony conducted the perfect campaign and resulted in our family now being in a much better position for the rest of our lives. We can't think him enough and we certainly feel like winners thanks to Anthony! show less

Absolutely 5 star service from a landlord perspective. Our property is managed so professionally compared to our previous agent.

My husband and I were really impressed with Anthony's approach to the sale campaign and the market knowledge in particular.  We were also very happy to find an agent that a) listened and understood our drive, needs and goals and b) was with us every step of the way through the process./ We really liked how Anthony did all of the property inspections, checked in with us after each one and auctioned the property himself.  Working this way meant that were were up to date all the time and we genuinely felt as though our best interests were taken seriously.  All of this contributed to a terrific agent/vendor relationship, and ultimately a fantastic result on auction day. We would highly recommend Anthony and the team at Frank Dowling. show less

When we were buying Anthony was also responsive and proactive in terms of keeping us in the loop of properties coming up that might have suited our needs.  We didn't end up buying a house through Anthony but if we were buying or selling again, I'd be more than happy to get Anthony on board. show less

Jane took our listing on a handshake and found a suitable tenant in under 2 weeks.  Not forgetting the multiple people show through in such a short time.

My name is Maria Russo and I gladly write this testimonial for Anthony Elliott of Frank Dowling Pty Ltd. Prior to selecting Anthony Elliott, I spent much time researching other agents.  Anthony's professional, enthusiastic and courteous approach went a long way to create the necessary confidence I needed.  I then appointed Anthony and not have not looked back since. He was punctual with all open day attendances, followed up with potential buyers and reported back to me promptly.  In the time leading up to the auction, Anthony negotiated a truly exceptional offer which surpassed all my expectations.  I am confident that the price achieved was due purely to Anthony's knowledge , skill and commitment to achieving the best possible result on my behalf. My home was sold prior to auction for which I was very relieved.  Thanks Anthony for your relentless support before, during and after the sale process.  I express my gratitude to you for a job well done. I would gladly recommend Anthony Elliott to my family, friends and anyone wanting to sell their home. show less

Anthony and the whole team at Frank Dowling Real Estate did a fantastic job during the recent campaign to sell my property.  The many inspections were always followed up with honest and positive feedback and a solid effort was made to ensure that as many people as possible attended the auction.

Kirsty from Dowlings has always helped us find great new tenants.  Kirsty always the professional and with Jane and the rest of the team.  You just can't go wrong with them.  We have been with them with our tow properties now going on 5 years and they just never fail to please.  Nothing is too much!!  I would highly recommend them. show less

We could not be happier with Anthony Elliott from Frank Dowling Real Estate who recently sold our family home.  Anthony certainly knows the business.  He presented a very confident manner in a tough market.  A caring side was shown with all the emotions vendors go through when selling their family home. show less

Frank Dowling were great through the application process.  They communicated clearly and answered all our questions.  When we were successful in our application, they allowed us to see the property a second time to take measurements.  They were timely and efficient when communicating with us. show less

Very helpful and communication was excellent.  Always went above and beyond to cater for the potential buyers as well as assisting me when I did not have time to prepare the home for inspection.  This brought me a good number of potential buyers to the Auction which gave us the best chance for the price we wanted. show less

It is the hardest decision to make to sell your family hone. Anthony made my decision feel right.  His communication was excellent every step of the sale.  His forward planning was great as I knew exactly what to expect and when. Anthony conduced himself professionally and his knowledge of the market was excellent.  Thank you. show less

Sandy

By far the best agent in the Moonee Valley region.  Knows the area well and has the best advice in regards to how to present the property.  Exceeded expectations and have highly recommend Anthony to all family and friends! show less

I am a 150% happy client of Frank Dowling and have been for nearly 25 yrs.  Christian and his team, notable Trang and in the past Jane, have looked after one of my investment properties with faultless care and attention over that time. I recently handed another property into their more than capable hands after disastrous service from two other agencies and am so happy did. Not only are they committed to their customer service toward me but also to my tenants - happy tenants, happy landlord. I couldn't recommend the people at Frank Dowling more highly. If you want someone looking after your property like it's their own, then Frank Dowling is the agency for you. Nothing is too much trouble for them and I'll admit, I have asked them to go the extra mile more than once (thanks Trang!). You won't be disappointed with the Frank Dowling experience. show less

Nicole

Frank Dowling is almost like family now!  The whole team are amazing and i couldn't help but rave on about every individual from this agent. I've first appointed a different agent to manage my property, after 6 weeks of them not being able to find a tenant i had approach Frank Dowling and had Trang as my property manager for 4 yrs ever since. She has never ceased to amaze me. She's efficient, assisting and so knowledgeable in her work/contacts.  Frank Dowling found tenants within 2 days of sign up of contract. When there is poor fixtures she does give the best, honest and cheapest quote .  This is all from a landlords perspective, I'm a mortgage broker so i do send my investor whether they're in Melbourne or interstate investors I refer them to FD and only have heard positive things. She's is thoughtful and caring to her tenants.  I certainly do not have the patience as she does. Money worth spent.  The house runs on its own.  No headaches. show less

Tona

Jane Campbell made my experience in finding a commercial property an absolute breeze.  Apart from the fact she found me an amazing and unique space, her attention to detail and her dedication speaks for itself. I honestly can't thank Jane enough for always living up to the statement ' I am always a phone call away.'  From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much Jane. show less

Alexia

Having used Jane's services for 9 years now i would highly recommend her and her team when looking for a Professional Real Estate Agent.  Always accessible, returns all our calls and genuinely cares for her customers.  Look no further when in need for an Agent next.  Thanks Jane show less

Claire

Jane is my property manager and I find her excellent to deal with. She always takes the time to sit with me and explain things thoroughly. Di at reception is very friendly and passes my message through efficiently!! Lots of respect for Frank Dowling Real Estate! show less

Tony

Recently had my property managed by another agent (for the last 8 years). Have had a lot of concerns with a new tenant, but old agent refused to go out and contact and find a resolution. So far nothing has been to hard or an issue for Jane. Willing to go the extra mile, which has put my mind at ease. Thanks so much & much appreciated! show less

Giovanni

Just a quick note to say what a pleasure Kirsty is to deal with.  She has looked after my property for a few years now and always does a great job.  Keep up the good work Kirsty! show less

Marcello & Kylie

Anthony conducted himself as a true professional throughout the campaign process for the sale of our property.  He was always punctual and provided us with sound advice during the sale process, given the downturn in the present real estate market.  We would highly recommend Anthony. show less

Julie

Anthony has been great to deal with.  A stand out to other agents we had been dealing with.  Anthony was the only agent that kept in regular contact and that we felt we could trust.  His friendly approach and easy to deal with attitude made out experience a pleasant one.  We are so pleased that we were able to purchase in the area we wanted and that Anthony was the agent who made that possible.  Thank you! show less

Carla D

Queenie Bui is an excellent agent.  To sum up my overall experience during inspections, application and outcome processes in one word:  streamlined. My interactions with Queenie was (and continue to be) characterized by speedy, clear, respectful communications and a constant willingness to support my queries.  Very heartened Queenie's approach to what could otherwise have been a long, slow and difficult rental application process. show less

Elaine & Daniel

I thought applying for my first rental property would be daunting but it was nice to be greeted by Queenie at the open house.  I found her easy going and friendly.  After having my rental application approved I have found the administration process to be very prompt, professional and stress free. show less

Laura

Anthony was a very honest and reliable agent.  He gave us the best results for our property.  I would highly recommend him and would definitely use him again.  I have used other agents and none of them compared to Anthony.  Thank you so much. show less

Melissa

From start to finish, Anthony was very responsive and a constant professional.  His selling price estimate reflected his knowledge and insight into the local market.  His honesty, ethics and hard work were very much respected and appreciated.  I would highly recommend Anthony to anyone who is looking for a quality Agent. show less

Kim

I am a first time landlord and have been quite worried about renting out the place I have called home for the last 5 years. Jane from Frank Dowling made it very easy for us, making sure she came and met us in person and explained the process in detail.  She ensured we understood the costs of leasing very clearly.  She also organised a private viewing outside of the planned open for inspection that resulted in a quick rental. I would highly recommend Jane at Frank Dowling! show less

Mohammad & Nafisa

Both Trang and Kirsty have been managing my property for the last 7 years and are absolutely superstars!  They're professional, responsive and know the market well. show less

I chose Frank Dowlings because I heard of their reputation. They were wonderful to deal with, very professional but also had a personal touch as well, a touch of humour with I very much enjoy. Anthony who was the auctioneer, I trusted him, that what it was. His approach had his whole heart in it, his whole body in it, his voice is very loud.. his voice made everyone feel at ease. Tell you the truth he's a gun. Communication was fantastic and also knowing somebody you trust them. Boy you want Anthony at your auction, I tell you right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wilpJYLLbeo show less

Jane and Rebecca

  I chose Frank because I knew they were local agents and that was really really important to me. Both were always available to speak to me whenever I had any questions, would always follow up with me. In fact, the primary reason was because I felt comfortable with them. Our auction went really went and I have no doubt it was because of the work that was invested in the campaign. I have lived in the Essendon area for a number of years and this is the A-Team, second to none. So thank you Christian , Holly and Anthony and the whole team at Frank Dowling Real Estate.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUL16LAE0o4 show less
