Loved working with the McGrath Avalon team. Both James and Lauren have a very good understanding of the local market, were extremely helpful and handled the sale process very professionally. Highly recommended.

Adrian knows the market, has a great list of potential buyers, is accessible and easy to deal with. His colleagues are also really good. I recommend him without hesitation or any reservations.

Having known James for a number of years it was a clear and easy decision to use him as the Agent for my house. His knowledge of the industry and personable, relaxed approach to selling our home was everything for us. We never doubted that the house would sell at Auction with his expertise at the Helm. One thing that I will always remember is approximately 2 years ago, I asked James for an Appraisal on our house after we had just completed some major Landscaping and Pool restorations. In our eyes our house had never looked so good. However James pulled us a aside and basically said "wait for at least a year or more until you sell". He made mention of some key points to what we should do around the property to give it greater privacy and general street appeal. Hence, we took his advice, worked tirelessly around the gardens and building an undercover outdoor area in the process. Can't thank him enough for the advice and for his communication throughout the campaign!

We are extremely pleased with the exceptional work that James Baker (ably supported by Jonathan Fletcher) did with regard to the recent sale of our Avalon Beach property. He had command of our sales brief from the beginning and worked with us to create a strong Marketing Plan. It’s not just a strong plan and in-depth knowledge of the local Property Market that creates a good sales result. It’s also the good old fashioned morality and ethics that James and his team demonstrated throughout the sales process. James has also helped us with some sage advice regarding the search for our next home. He didn’t move on as soon as the “Sold” sticker went up.

Would erecommend Lauren and her team.
Lauren Garner
James Baker was totally supportive & informative on all fronts right from the beginning ... Documentation, house history, legal information, community & even negotiation, he ensured all bases were covered & I received the courteous, professional assistance I required to understand & work through the sales process. A true gentleman! I have no hesitation in recommending him to others & would not hesitate to seek him out in the future.

I found Lauren Garner to be highly professional yet friendly & caring with a very personal approach. She was extremely accommodating in regard to assistance, queries & information required both during the process & even more helpful (in some ways) after the actual sale. What a delightful lady! I would have no hesitation in recommending Lauren or to seek her out myself in the future.
Lauren Garner
We were impressed by Lauren's friendly and down-to-earth attitude when we met her at other open houses and were pleased to have her on board for our sale as one of James Baker's team. The team approach was a really good feature, meaning more attention to buyers at each open, easier communication for us, and as we got to know Lauren during the sale we were even more impressed with her. She was always upbeat and reassuring but honest; she had good rapport with buyers; was knowledgeable about competitor properties to ours; and was tenacious in ensuring we got the sale in spite of a slowing market. Lauren was also great before and after the sale in liaising with us on the buyer's queries and other logistics, going the extra mile to ensure positive results. It was a pleasure working with Lauren, as well as James and Danielle on the one team.

Adrian was excellent from the beginning to the very end. His personalised service and excellent communication impressed all of us. Thank you very much again Adrian!

We just sold our house.............and didn't even need to go on the market. This probably isn't the norm but the difference between an estate agent and a great estate agent is truly knowing your market and being able to match your buyers with your sellers. This is not the first time we have dealt with Adrian Venturi, nor do I expect it will be our last as if you are buying or selling a property on the Northern Beaches from Mona Vale to Palm Beach I sincerely believe that you will not find anyone that has better market knowledge or will work with more credibility and integrity for all parties involved.

Lauren Garner worked extensively on preparation for the recent sale of my property at Careel Bay. She negotiated and coordinated all styling and renovation with tight control of costs. Lauren oversaw all aspects of this important phase with dedication and efficiency. Her knowledge and communication were first class. Peter Sherwood Hong Kong

I might say there are no words to describe James Baker's efforts in selling my Careel Bay house. But I'm a writer, so there are words: honest, committed, proactive, hard-working, knowledgeable of both his area, property and construction - and he kept his word. James and his team updated me every step of the way and were meticulous in planning, approach and execution. I recommend him most highly. Peter Sherwood - Hong Kong
