A real estate agent that goes above and beyond!

We enlisted the services of Youseff and his team to sell our renovated 4 bedroom home in Marrickville, and are so glad we did! Youseff went above and beyond to get us the best deal while offering us the guidance and support whenever we needed. I especially loved his level of enthusiasm and passion. Such a rare find in this industry!

At one point in the campaign Youseff asked us to trust him while he changed strategy to increase buyer interest. While we were nervous and hesitant at first, his change in strategy gave us our buyer that offered a top price. I am so thankful that I put my trust of Youseff and Hudson McHugh. They are not only experts in the real estate, they brought a genuine approach, professionalism and enthusiasm to our auction campaign. We are absolutely delighted with the result and will definitely be using Youseff and the team again. Read More

Testimonial from John And Jennifer
Open and professional

We had to sell our house at short notice, at a time disrupted by an election and public holidays. Youseff was excellent in helping us to develop a clear strategy for the campaign, and in fielding and negotiating early offers which allowed us to work around the main timing problems. He was a very good communicator, always ready to listen but also upfront in making clear what he thought was the best way to display the attractions of our property. His commitment, and that of Joseph and Nick, was exemplary throughout. Read More

Consummate and Ethical Professionals.

We were extremely pleased with Youseff and his team; they provided strong presale advice that helped us prepare the property for sale.

During the sale process we were kept well informed of how the marketing campaign was progressing. All interactions with Youseff and his outstanding team (Sales and Admin) were professional, timely and valuable.

The one standout for us was how ethical Youseff was, during the interview process he gave us an honest opinion (backed by strong data points) on the value of the property and based on his extensive experience how the marketing campaign would unfold, this differentiated Hudson McHugh from several other agencies that gave us such inflated estimates and blatantly false sales and market information that they thought we wanted to hear, Youseff was a breath of fresh air with his honesty and professionalism.

During the sales process that achieved an outcome that exceeded our expectations, he behaved ethically to us and the buyers which was very important to us. Not only would we use Youseff and Hudson McHugh again for any future sale, but we would have confidence that we would be treated ethically and with respect if we were a buyer of a property they were representing.

Excellent end-to-end experience with Hudson McHugh.

We had a lovely experience with Nick, Youseff, Joe and the Hudson McHugh team with the sale of our property. I met Nick when we were first looking for properties to buy, and continued to speak to him after we purchased our property (off another agent) as he knew we were looking to sell in the future. Most agents wouldn't stay in for the long haul, but Nick called me every few months to check in and see how we were going with our journey. He genuinely invested time into the conversations as well, which is what you expect from a professional agent who understands the lifecycle journey of their client. When it came time to sell, it was a natural thought of ours to consider Hudson McHugh because of the communication we had received so far. The team came in to meet us for the first time with a well thought out strategy and walked us through what they recommended for our home. We were impressed with their preparation, which we felt a lot of the other agents lacked. They followed up with a thorough marketing strategy and prompt replies whenever we wanted a question answered. When we decided to go with the team, we felt very comfortable with our decision. We were a bit worried that the level of service would reduce during the campaign period, but this was not the case. The team gave us almost daily updates and kept us very much in the loop. We appreciated their honest approach to securing the deal - they understand that good business is when the buyer and seller get an outcome they are both happy with, and they worked hard to reach that point. We ended up selling prior to auction for an amount that was above our reserve (which we set high as we knew our property was quality) and we were happy with it.

Overall, would recommend if you are looking for a professional agent who understands that communication, strategy, and people skills are integral to what they do. Read More

Top team, very down to earth and great to deal with!

I was really impressed how personable, trustworthy and straightforward the relationship was regarding making offers and the eventual sale of the property. Nick and Youseff were always quick to respond and answer questions back and forth with the vendor to help us win the property in a relatively quick turnaround off-market. Definitely a team I would like to work with again in future! Read More

Dulwich Hill Sale

Youseff was able to provide practical advice about how to get the house ready to sell. He and his team was readily available in the lead up and during the marketing campaign to provide feedback and further advice. He believed in the value of the property and gave 110 percent to make sure that the prospective buyers many of whom weren’t from the area also saw its value. In the end he achieved a fantastic result in a tough market that went beyond our expectations. Read More

Youseff , master of communication, punctual in his timely responses follow up and great guidance

We met Youseff in 2014 while renting , ever since we have been in contact with him to stay up to date with the real estate market while we were looking upsize and buy a house. We knew that there was a high chance of selling our apartment to afford a house in Sydney marketplace. Last September we finally found a house which ticks all the boxes , however we had to sell and buy at the same time. The house was advertised by another agent, however once the owner accepted our offer we got in touch with Youseff for the sale of our apartment. In no time the apartment was placed on the market and sold with expected results within 3 weeks. Settlement completed, happy family and kids. Youseff was there for us and always available for clarification, a good mediator with professionalism and a great aptitude. Youssef and his team were supporting us and keeping us constantly up to date with the progress regarding the sale. We highly recommend this great team to anyone looking for a professional and friendly realtor which strive for excellent results. Read More

Best in the industry! Amazing and highly supportive buying experience!!

As a first home buyer, Youseff was extraordinary at making this a smooth and stress free process. He went above and beyond with ensuring i was equipped with all the information i needed to make the decision to purchase. Youseff was always on point and extremely proactive with purchase and settlement deadlines. He was always a few steps ahead and proactively chased solicitors for information required. Youssef is a seasoned agent, which helps the buying process because he is able to ask the right questions to ensure all bases are covered from both buyer and seller sides. Youseff Chmait and Hudson Mchugh team are fanstastic. Highly recommended for property buy/sell and property management services. Read More

Above and beyond

We were selling from interstate so needed an agent we had complete trust in. We found Youseff to be very knowledgeable, open and transparent and a great communicator.

He provided recommendations on updating our home before the sale, even going as far as selecting and buying new light fittings.

Youseff and his team were great throughout the campaign – keeping us up to date with constant communication on potential buyers and their feedback. He has an amazing database of contacts and goes out of his way to foster relationships with potential buyers in the area.

We sold the house in a tough market (during steep rises in interest rates) and thanks to Youseff’s strong work ethic we got a strong price when many other houses on the market weren’t selling.

Youseff was fantastic in supporting us through the sale of our home and I would highly recommend him as an agent that goes above and beyond, is great to deal with and clearly loves what he does. Read More

Personable, professional & honest

Youseff is an excellent communicator. He kept us informed constantly - right across the entire campaign - and is incredibly personable, professional and honest to deal with. We really appreciated the relationship he built with us across the sale process and we know he also invested the same in getting to know the prospective buyers. He fostered these relationships through to a successful auction and sale (in what was also a very tricky market in May/June 2022). Thank you Youseff! Read More

We were really pleased with our experience of Youseff selling our property. We were drawn to his intimate knowledge and experience selling in the area (in our case, Dulwich Hill), and right from our first meeting Youseff proved that he would deliver us a great result, by providing us with a bespoke strategy. Youseff kept us well informed throughout the campaign, and as he quickly gained our trust we felt confident to be guided by him.

Testimonial from Steve Simona
Would Use Youseff Again!

Out of the two agents we had short listed to sell our house the reason we picked Youseff was that he didn't have to bag the other agent to make himself look better in order to get our business! We also felt he was the most honest agent we have come across so far.

Youseff and the team did a great job marketing the house from the great photos to the amazing video that really showcased our beautiful house. Our house was a very popular and the team did have their work cut-out for them, but right till the end there was always plenty of enthusiasm. His communication skills were great and he kept us in the loop throughout the whole campaign.

We would definitely recommend Youseff and use him again! Read More

Excellent committed agent

I met Youseff, approximately 10 years before he was provided the opportunity to sell our beloved home. Youseff headed the team responsible for the sale, for me personally it was the end of an era, it was an emotional sale to say the least, and to have Youseff at the helm through the process was very comforting. I cannot fault, Youseff's compassion, and commitment to achieving the best possible sale price, especially in market which was taking an turn into uncertainty. The outcome achieved was outstanding. I would have no reservations in recommending Youseff and the team (shoutout to Nick and Joseph too!) to handle the sale of your home Read More

Excellent knowledge, vision and work ethic!

We had a really excellent selling experience with Youseff, Peter and the team at Hudson McHugh. From our first meeting, we were impressed with Youseff and Peter's knowledge, work ethic and vision, and it was clear they were prepared to work hard to get us the best result - which they did. We also just really enjoyed working with Youseff and Peter, they're both a lot of fun but also really compassionate and understanding of the stressors of selling. As first time sellers, selling in a very uncertain market, we appreciated the time Youseff and Peter took to make sure we understood and were comfortable with the process each step of the way. Perhaps most importantly, we trusted Youseff and Peter, and were confident they were acting in our best interests. We would not hesitate to recommend Youseff and Peter to anyone selling in the area, and would happily work with them again in the future. Read More
