We sold our flat in November with Callum, Gillan and David at Macfarlane & Young, and they were absolutely brilliant. Communication was excellent throughout, with viewings arranged quickly. When the first sale fell through, they acted immediately and had it sold again within days.

Can’t thank them enough—wouldn’t use anyone else

What a lovely letting experience! Highly recommended.

Calum and Gillian were really great to work with in re-letting a flat we own in Govan. Friendly, professional and thoughtful advice. Very well-organised throughout the whole process.

The flat let quickly, to a lovely couple. Thanks to both Calum and Gillian for a seamless and great value service.

Would happily recommend to anyone looking to let a flat.

I recently completed the sale of my parents house and I can not recommend Calum and the team at Macfarlane&Young highly enough. From start to finish, they were always on hand to guide us though the process, keeping us updated every step of the way with the friendly, knowledgeable and professional approach. If any one is thinking of selling I would highly recommend this team

Second Time Around

In the past year I have used McFarlane Young twice to sell property. Callum and Gillian are utterly professional in everything they do and clearly know the market inside out.

Thank You

Highly Recommend

Calum and Gillian were extremely professional and knowledgable about the current market. Calum guided us through every stage of the selling process. He made very useful suggestions about what we could do to our property before putting it on the market. His valuation was accurate and we were very happy with the offered we accepted. The photos, video tour and marketing of the property was fantastic and we sold within a week. We couldn't recommend them highly enough!

Great Experience

We were recommended to this firm by a 3rd party. We dealt with Calum and Gillian, both were pragmatic, did not ‘blow smoke’ as means of securing business and followed through on dates and process.
They have formed a great team around the business including photographers (with drone operators), experienced copywriters and surveyors for home reports. Excellent exposure both digitally and through existing client bank resulted in offers from both. Offers were made on second day of house being on placed market.
Calum’s valuation was spot on and as he anticipated offers were in excess of this.
Calum and Gillian are experienced professionals but more importantly they are nice people

The best service I have had in 10 years when renting one of our properties

I first engaged with Gillian Neil at MacFarlane Young Estate & Lettings when I asked them to rent out one of our properties in Paisley. The process was seamless as she took some details and then within an extremely short period of time had a tenant who was exactly the profile of who we wanted. In addition Gillian achieve a higher rental value which we were delighted with. Gillian is competent in what she does and next year when we sell our family home she will be our agent without a doubt. Great service!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Calum and Gillian from MacFarlane Young to anyone looking for dedicated and professional estate agents. They were always available to answer my questions and promptly returned calls and emails. Their proactive approach alleviated much of the stress typically associated with selling a home. First class in every regard. Thanks in particular to Calum, for going above and beyond for us, getting our house on the market within 7 days including getting the home report completed & also conducting the house viewings whilst we were on away on holiday and kept us well informed throughout the process which went smoothly, and sold within days of going on the market. I would give them the highest recommendation for your real estate needs! Thank you again.

Calum and Gillian were fantastic…

We recently sold our house with MacFarlane Young. Calum and Gillian were fantastic throughout. We had valuations from other estate agents and felt they were keen to get our house on the market asap. Whereas, Calum and Gillian were more helpful by making sure our house was in the best possible condition for valuation and buyers. They wanted us to get the best offer which unfortunately I feel wasn’t the same with other competitors.
Could not recommend them enough!

A huge thank you to Calum and Gillian

Would like to extend a huge thank you to Calum and Gillian for selling our house!

They guided us throughout and told us exactly what to do to get the most money for our house. Despite our initial buyers pulling out, we had such a positive experience. They had the house back on the market and more viewers in the next day. Sold our house in less than a week for more than we thought we could get (twice!).

We felt other agents only wanted a quick and easy sale for themselves. MacFarlane and Young really cared and were so much more personal. I would recommend them to anyone.

100% recommend - professional & personal service

Highly recommend Macfarlane Young. We were originally going to go with a high street chain but Calum and Gillian proved we made the right decision. They provided an exceptional service that was both reliable and personalised, taking the time to understand our specific needs and budget, offering tailored advice and expertise throughout the process.

Communication was easy and they were always available if needed. They also went above and beyond on the day our home was photographed (even cleaning a velux window we had missed!).

We cant thank them enough and for making it a seamless process. We would absolutely use them again and have recommended to family and friends.

They also recommended Gary at Macfarlane Young when we were looking for a solicitor - also 100% recommend. His communication and service was excellent and we would absolutely use him again.

First class

Can't recommend macfarlane young enough. We were tempted to go with another well known company in the area however went macf young due to the hands on and personal service offered by calum and Gillian. Everything from start to finish was first class and if we move again will 100% be using them.

Had previously dealt with Calum when he was at another company to purchase my first flat. It was seamless from start to finish and made a daunting process seem so simple. After 3 years in the property it only felt right to go with Calum at Macfarelane Young to sell the property.

We had viewings lined up before the property was even on the market which was more than ideal. The flat was on for less than a week and I had received an offer I was more than happy with.

Both Gillian and Calum were excellent throughout the whole process and made selling a house a lot more relaxing than it tends to be. The timing worked brilliantly as we had to have our flat under offer before reserving a new build house. Calum was aware of this and was on the ball to make sure the flat sold as quick as possible to ensure we reserved our new house.

Also, being associated with Macfarelane Young solicitors made everything streamlined and I wasn’t having to deal with different lawyers etc. Everyone was aware of timelines that had to be met and pushed the sale (&purchase) through.

Can’t thank them enough.

Poor communication

First time buyer here. Really unimpressed with my dealings with Macfarlane Young Estate & Lettings. I dealt with Calum Dickson who would not reply to my emails or return my calls which ultimately cost me the opportunity to put an offer down for a property that I was seriously interested in.

I was booked for a viewing at a property and Macfarlane Young Estate & Lettings had negotiated an offer and cancelled my viewing the morning of, forfeiting my opportunity to make an offer of my own.

I think it's fair to say I will be staying well clear of this company and any properties associated with them.
