David is knowledgeable, efficient and always professional and his team at Hudson McHugh are market share leaders in Leichhardt for a reason. Highly recommend buying (or selling) through David Eastway and his team. Read More

We met David many years ago. When we decided to sell, despite having numerous personal relationships with various local agents, David was our ultimate choice. His market share and presence in Leichhardt was our initial deciding factor but his knowledge and decisiveness sealed the deal. We soft launched in December but always planned to be 'on market' at the beginning of Jan. Joseph coordinated styling, cleaning and handled the first (and only) open for inspection like a champ with over 30 groups. That's when David's skills really came to light - his negotiation, complete understanding of the parties and market meant we exchanged unconditionally 48hrs later bang on the money we wanted and what he told us we could achieve from the start. The entire team at Hudson McHugh have impressed us. Definitely recommend! Read More

We've known David from over 10 years. His ongoing feedback and assistance over the years made it an easy decision for us to choose Hudson McHugh when we were looking to sell. David made the whole process seamless from start to finish. His team are equally as professional and managed every aspect of the campaign in a way that instilled us with confidence. We could not be happier with David and the Hudson McHugh team. His results are experience speak for itself, we could not recommend him more highly. Read More

David and his team did a great job helping us to sell our house. They advised on works to the house, found trades and managed the improvements. They were clear in their communication and strategy, and arranged for a large number of people to sell the house. Ultimately, David negotiated a great result for us. Read More

Met with David in the middle of December with a view to selling early this year. He was diligent in explaining the process, and outlined a number of things we could do to make our property more marketable.

His process was simple and reasonably priced. We accepted an offer that was near exactly what David had suggested the end result would be.

Would definitely use Hudson McHugh again. Also, big shout out to Joseph, who is also a legend! Read More

David Eastway has been professional and courteous in every way when managing the sale of my property. He has managed the coordination of the sale smoothly and very successfully, making it a relatively stress free procedure and giving an outstanding result for me. His staff also have been exceptional with their professionalism as well.

I am extremely happy with the outcome of my auction. Prior to it starting, David gave me all the possible scenarios, but he was able deliver ‘over and above’ the best outcome!

In addition to all of this, David has been able to assist me to find my next ‘downsizing’ property. The outcome is I will have a smooth hassle free move as the settlement dates of the two properties will coincide.

We were kept well informed throughout the sales campaign and David was very determined despite some early setbacks. Read More

As a Buyer's Agent, I work with a lot of Sales Agents and I must say, working with David and the team at Hudson McHugh is always enjoyable. David always manages to work ethically, respectfully and professionally throughout any purchase's I do with him, and somehow I always walk away with a feeling of contentment that both of our clients have achieved a positive and fair outcome.

David's knowledge of the Leichhardt market and surrounding areas is exceptional and I would certainly refer anyone looking to sell their property directly to him and the team. Read More

David has an in-depth understanding of the market, especially now during these unprecedented times. David is honest and will tell you up-front exactly what he is seeing in the market and how that effects the property to be sold.

I believe David and his agency know the Leichhardt market better than most. They have access to buyers who want to purchase property in Leichhardt and this certainly was extremely beneficial to the sale of our property with an excellent result.

If you want a no nonsense agent who excels at his job and someone you can feel confident in, then David and the team at Hudson McHugh are certainly the best choice. Read More

David and his team did everything you could ask of an agent... and more. They communicated well, offered sound advice and assisted with preparing the house for sale. This definitely exceeded my expectations and made the process of selling in a downward market far less stressful than it could have been. Read More

My experience with David was excellent. I was being well informed of the process and the team at Hudson McHugh is very professional and efficient with open and honest communication. Read More

We were really excited to work with David as he sold us our house years prior but we didn’t have a great experience this time round.

We were very much aware that the market had downwards shifted but also know our house hadn’t dropped in original value from when we bought it but we felt bullied to take offers that were not acceptable and felt rushed to sell as quickly as possible even after 1 week on the market. We felt like we were on an emotional roller coaster - one day we would be lucky if we get a buyer and to not go to auction, the next we had 3 repeat inspections and we should go to auction, the next back to negative. We ended up having to push for the absolute minimum with the buyer who ended up purchasing as David kept telling us to take original offers.

David presents well and obviously talks well with potential buyers but we didn’t have a great experience being on the other end. We also got roped in telling us our house would sell for a lot more and then when on market they lowered it dramatically telling us the market had gone down. Yes the market has dropped, but only by 6%, not sure 15%! Read More

I don’t normally give reviews but in this case David Eastway and team have earned our highest recommendation.

Our relationship with David began when we were working away from Sydney for a long-term contract, and having left our house in Sydney vacant for some time, chose to rent it. We came back during one Christmas holiday, frantically cleaned everything out, but eventually ran out of time so that – whilst vacant – the house needed a fair bit of love and care to get ready for rent. David met us at the property and I was initially sceptical, this good looking guy in a very sharp suit meeting us in our slightly run-down property, but he was an absolute champion, very humble and genuine. He gave us solid advice, made available the help of his extended team, and we basically gave him the house keys and went back to Melbourne, just simply trusting him with the whole process. That trust was very well placed; not only did they help us get the property into great shape, but they found us fantastic tenants, and helped deal with all the little issues that crop up from time to time when renting out a property. It really was truly painless, and a huge comfort knowing that they were managing things for us while we were away.

The time came for us to sell that property and we never had any doubt who to ask to help market it for us. Once again, David gave not only excellent advice but his whole sales team managed the entire process for us: inspections, staging, clearing, marketing, and just very solid advice and excellent communication throughout the whole process. Their fees were very reasonable, and in the end we were able to sell our property for slightly more than we expected, in a very short time frame. Again; this whole process was done while we were away from Sydney, and simply knowing that we could rely on David and his team to look after us was a huge relief.

Would definitely recommend. Read More

Its always a challenge when negotiating with David and Joseooh as they’re very much all about their vendors and they always strives for every penny. Joseph and David are always open and transparent and their efforts show in their results. Being a buyers agent i have no issues recommending David and Joseph to my clients when the time comes to sell their home. Great result for all involved. Read More

David is an excellent agent who sets realistic expectations and delivers outstanding results. We have purchased and sold through him and our experience on both sides were fantastic and memorable. As a buyer, we held a lot of trust in him. As a vendor, we felt that we were a priority and our needs were our first.

The same goes for the broader team at HMCH. Each of the agents and the admin team are very personable, and work hard to deliver. Read More

David & the team are great to work with. Read More

When choosing an agent it was a simple choice. David has built a great relationship with us over the years and has always been available to assist us in all of our queries and market intel. He went through the best strategy suited for the sale of home and delivered on an awesome result! David kept us informed at every step of the way, which was appreciated and extremely helpful during what is a stressful time.

David and the team at Hudson McHugh know Leichhardt like no one else. Read More

We spoke with a number of different agents before deciding to go with David, overall this was primarily because of the knowledge and experience he brought to the table.

David ran us through both the approach for selecting a price, as well as the overall strategy for selling our house - this was all backed up with the numbers from previous sales in the area. We really appreciated this data-driven approach.

Once we got the ball rolling, it really felt like we had the full support of Hudson McHugh behind us - photos, floorplanning, styling suggestions, building inspection - all of it was taken care of for us, and we were amazed at how quickly things moved.

We selected to put the house up for auction on David's recommendation, though we ended up selling within 10 days of going to market, and for higher than the top-end that we had expected!

If we were selling another house in this area, we would absolutely use David & Hudson McHugh again. Read More

David and the Hudson McHugh team were incredibly helpful and professional throughout the whole process. Very responsive and good communication. Read More
