Alana and the team at McLaughlin & Associates handled the settlement of my home. As a first home buyer, I was a little nervous about the process, however my mind was soon put at ease. They were efficient and professional - the whole process was so smooth. Overall, I’m really pleased with the outcome.

Hello,

Just a few words to thankyou to your team in assisting and supporting me in my first home purchase. I appreciate the work you did in reviewing my mortgage documents explaining them to me in layman's terms. Along with the tireless questions I raised with Jessica, Alana and Amanda who all were very patient with me in talking through your costs and also the many other home documents that I received when I needed to discuss what they all meant.

Thank you so much for all your hard work.

Kind regards.

Delia Howard.

A huge thank you to McLaughlin & Associates for carrying out the legal side of our recent house purchase in Springfield Lakes. Thank you Dominic and your Team but we have to give a special thank you to Alana for going above and beyond to get through some hairy moments during the purchase and her patience when dealing with my frustrations. We have now used McLaughlin & Associates for the conveyance for the sale of our previous home and not wishing to name names, Alana was right on the ball for every stage of the process making the sale very smooth and relaxed for which we are so grateful. Thank you all. We, as a couple, would highly recommend McLaughlin and Associates. Roger & Julie Newman

I could not recommend Alana from McLaughlan and Associates enough. After a challenging start to the property buying process, she was able to get things back on track and helped to ease our minds. She was not only highly professional, she was very understanding and led with empathy. When the time comes and we purchase another property, there is no doubt in my mind as to who we will be calling for conveyancing. Thank you so very very much Alana.
