Reuben Packer-Hill

Who are McGrath?

John McGrath 

“When I set up the company I had a few things that had to be delivered. 

The first was I wanted to have the best real estate company on the planet. It seemed crazy to aim for 

anything else. The best people, marke@ng resources and Clients. Next I wanted to make a serious 

difference, to change the way real estate is bought and sold so Customers could trust their agents and 

enjoy the process. 

And finally, I mandated that excellence and integrity would never be compromised under any 

circumstance. Well, there was one more thing, we had to achieve results for our Clients that were without 

doubt the best they could achieve. 

I love coming to work every day”

Reuben sold our home in Chapel Hill earlier this year and we are very happy with the outcome. From 

the beginning of the sale campaign to settlement, Reuben was every part the professional. Having 

been a buyer in the Chapel Hill market for a number of years, we had come across Reuben at quite a 

number of properties and we were impressed with his overall work ethic - excellent communications, 

good follow up, positivity, complete knowledge of the market etc. All that and his overall courteous 

professionalism ultimately led us to believe he was the right agent for the sale of our property, and we 

were not disappointed. He achieved a great result for us, having also negotiated a mutually suitable 

settlement period that not only suited buyer and seller, but also the tenants and property manager. He 

also kept us informed at all times of the progress of the campaign, at no time did we have to follow him 

up for an update, it was refreshing!

impressed at Reuben' s honesty, knowledge and polite manner. Some years later I was selling my 

property at Chapel Hill, I had several agents come and review the property to give me their advice. I 

remembered Reuben and called him for his advice, his manner was the same, open, transparent,

You have a house to sell and you are looking for a real estate agent in whom you can have complete 

confidence? 

The sale of our house in Kenmore was handled by Reuben Packer- Hill. He is young, enthusiastic and is 

dedicated to doing his best for you, his client. 

During the difficult times during which our house was on the market, Reuben never lost his smile, his 

confidence in our house sale or his energy in getting everything moving forward at all times. 

He has a charming and frank manner with people, which puts them at ease rather than making them 

back away with the 'hard sell' methods used by some agents. 

He kept us informed of open house results each week and we found him to be extremely professional 

during the entire selling period.

It is our pleasure to prepare a testimonial to the services of Reuben Packer-Hill of McGrath Paddington, who successfully 

sold our property at 9 Chantilly Street, Chapel Hill at Auction after a marketing campaign slightly under four weeks. 

We made the decision to list our property with Reuben as our agent after he informally approached us last year with an 

offer to prepare an independent appraisal. At that stage, we were not totally sure about selling our property but we were 

very impressed by Reuben’s proactive approach in keeping us informed about the local market. At that stage, there was no 

apparent advantage to Reuben keeping in contact with us but we were stuck with his professionalism, dedication and 

passion for his job. This was in contrast to other agents who we made contact with in passively inspecting properties at 

open homes. It never ceased to amaze us that that very few of those agents even bothered to make contact with us 

following these inspections and, in at least one case, we may have been active buyers had the agent shown an interest in 

us. 

When we decided to make the decision to sell the property, we had no hesitation in deciding to proceed with Reuben as our 

agent. The decision to sell your family home is never to easy. Indeed, it is quite a nerve-wrecking experience and it is during 

this uneasy time that you need an agent that keeps you informed, tells you the unedited feedback and steps you through 

the process at key milestones. 

Even at times when we were not sure about certain decisions that needed to be made through the campaign, Reuben never 

wavered in his belief and conviction in his recommendations. His manor throughout the campaign was one of confidence, 

but he also displayed great empathy towards us and was more than happy to answer any questions we had throughout the 

campaign. In fact, he very much encouraged questions and engagement with us. 

Reuben was a dedicated worker for us throughout the campaign. He was very keen to meet with both of us face to face at 

regular intervals and keen us constantly informed. It was very apparent to us that Reuben was regularly chasing prospective 

buyers. There were also prospective buyers who were not obviously interested in our property but Reuben left no stone 

unturned in seeking out clarification about their interest levels. 

Whilst Reuben is undoubtable knowledgeable about the local market and connected within his network, you also want an 

agent who is thoroughly organised. This was Reuben’s strong point in our view. 

Reuben went that extra mile for us, often working outside normal business hours to deliver the best possible outcome for 

us. In our face to face meetings, Reuben helped streamlined the process with set agendas and delivered his regular 

feedback reports in a timely fashion. 

Reuben’s start as a real estate agent is on the rise and if you are looking to sell your property in the western suburbs of 

Brisbane, you would do no better than retaining Reuben as your agent. We have already recommended Reuben to our 

family and friends in the event they ever become interested in selling their property. We could not have been happier with 

our experience in selling our property. Whilst we obtain a very good outcome on the sale in terms of price – that is not the 

only factor in judging the success of your agent appointment. It is the personal qualities of your agent which helps 

considerably in the uneasy journey from listing to sale. In that respect alone, Reuben scores 10 out of 10.

It is our pleasure to prepare a testimonial to the services of Reuben Packer-Hill of McGrath Paddington, who successfully 

sold our property at 9 Chantilly Street, Chapel Hill at Auction after a marketing campaign slightly under four weeks. 

I am more than happy to provide a testimonial to the service of Reuben Packer-Hill, of McGrath Estate 

Agents Paddington, who successfully sold my property at 22 Aberfeldy Street Kenmore at Auction after 

a 4 weeks marketing campaign. 

I also have no hesitation in stating that Reuben is the most professional, personable and 

knowledgeable real estate agent I have encountered in almost 30 years of home ownership. I have 

been continually and pleasantly surprised be the amount of time he has invested on a one to one basis 

with me as a client. Moreover, the information and advise Reuben provided throughout the process, 

and the manner of his presentation, made me feel that I was always being afforded the best 

information and range of options in a non- pressured and friendly environment. I have no doubt that 

these same qualities and dedication would serve anyone wishing to purchase a property equally well. 

Reuben conducted many hours of meetings prior to devising a marketing plan for the property, and 

provided extensive, detailed weekly activity reports that were further followed up by personal review 

meetings throughout the campaign. He made contact with me at least every second day throughout 

the marketing period, and always returned any communications particularly promptly. Reuben also 

took the trouble and time to honestly listen to my concerns and viewpoints, and at all times I felt 

both in control and supported throughout the selling process. 

Reuben’s expertise and personal qualities resulted in my property selling at auction after only 4 

weeks on the market, at a price that was significantly better than I had expected. In conclusion, I 

would highly recommend Reuben’s services, weather selling or buying a house, and would be most 

willing to be contacted to expand on this testimonial should it be required.
