Testimonials
‘We live for our clients, take a look at some of our latest successes.’
‘Huge thank you to Doug and his team!
We had a plan to buy an investment property for a long time, but struggled to find reliable information on listings online. We had limited connections and we had a difficult living situation as the 3 of us live in different cities, which made attending every inspection difficult. Our goal was to get into the market asap, whilst respecting some key non-negotiables.
We gave this information to Doug, and after listening to our position he worked with us to refine our goals. Doug fast tracked our progress massively, attending inspections and asking all the right questions early on. It meant that we had all the information, connections to sellers and other agents, and all the comparisons at our fingertips.
At the negotiation stage he lead all the communication and paperwork, whilst still giving us advice and direction.
I can say without him we would still be discussing properties with limited information from a few inspections and scattered information online. For our personal property objectives, using Doug has been our best decision so far.’

‘After missing out on several auctions, we met Doug at the last one we were unsuccessful with a business card and a warm introduction.
A few weeks later, we reached out and had a great conversation about our home search criteria. Doug quickly connected us with an off-market opportunity that matched our checklist perfectly.
We inspected the property and, within just two weeks, had it under contract. Doug negotiated on our behalf and secured the purchase below current market value. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and marked by clear, transparent communication—making the experience genuinely enjoyable.
We are both ecstatic with the property acquisition, having secured it $50,000 under market, and will be returning to Doug when we look again!.’

‘He really understood what we were looking for and helped us focus on properties with strong growth potential—not just somewhere to live, but opportunities we could add value to over time.
Doug’s market knowledge and eye for detail gave us confidence at every stage. He was proactive in flagging things we hadn’t considered and always kept our goals front of mind, which made the process smoother and less stressful.
Thanks to his guidance, we secured a property that suited our plans perfectly: liveable from day one, but with clear scope to improve and build equity. For anyone wanting to buy smart—whether it’s your first home, an investment, or a project - Douglas is a fantastic partner to have on your side.’
'It's been a pleasure working with Douglas to secure an off-market commercial site.

Douglas’s professionalism and proactive approach gave us confidence at every stage, and his willingness to go the extra mile was greatly appreciated. He added significant value to our acquisition and ensured the outcome aligned with our goals. We’re grateful for the commitment he’s shown to our team and look forward to continuing this successful partnership into the future projects.’

‘It was by chance we met Douglas Hastings..
We were at an open house and Douglas was looking at the property as well. We overheard him say that he was a buyers agent.
At that time we were thinking about selling a house that needed major renovations so we asked Douglas if he might have interested clients.
After a couple telephone conversations and viewings Douglas secured the deal! He knew his clients were looking for a character property they could restore and ours ticked all the boxes.
We could not have been happier with Douglas and Hastings Beaumont. The whole process was smooth, efficient and hassle free. Douglas negotiated a price we were happy with and the sale from beginning to end took under a month.
In addition Douglas is just a delight to deal with, has a great sense of humour and is very genuine in his approach to business. We have already recommended Hastings Beaumont to many of our friends.’
