James Baker and the team at McGrath Avalon came to us highly recommended. From the outset James gave us a good amount of time, providing valuable information, considered advice, and strategic planning in regard to the sale of our house. He clearly knows the local area and market well. He and his team proved most efficient, always promptly returning calls and providing ongoing thorough feedback as well as practical support. Lyndall and Lauren, who worked alongside James, were always friendly and willing to help, tirelessly hardworking, organized, and punctual. James is a very dedicated professional who takes a lot of pride in his work. His open warm manner and careful plans kept us comfortable that we would reach a good result. He has a wonderful genuine way with people and clearly loves and is very committed to his job. He is confident, and at the same time respectful of all parties. He is a great negotiator and remains calm and responsive as events unfold, totally committed to ensuring the best possible result for all involved. It’s a pleasure to deal with James and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

When we asked Adrian and his team at McGrath to assist with the sale of our family home in Palm Beach we could never have estimated the extent of help that was provided. Our short time frame meant “all hands on deck”. Adrian exceeded our expectations!! Being interstate during lockdown, unable to travel to Sydney, Adrian assisted in the coordination of all aspects of the preparation of the property and the entire sale process. Adrian’s team at McGrath were always available, willing and devoted to the project, we can not thank them enough for all their help! The auction result was very pleasing and we have no hesitation in recommending Adrian and McGrath. Thanks again, Betty and Nicole (Palm Beach- October 2021)

We contacted James and Lyndall and they were very knowledgeable of the local market both sales and purchases. They listened to what we were wanting to achieve, helping by educating us on the processes, choice of sale types and importantly helped us to achieve a sale within 3 weeks on the market. We were kept up to date and informed at every stage. I would heartily refer them as they were very professional.

James acted for us in both the purchase of our new house and the sale of our much loved old home. During this time he was at all times discreet, professional, available to us, efficient and reliable. From purchase of our new property to signing of contracts ( at 8 pm on a Friday evening) it was 10 days. An amazing effort by all concerned especially James. He negotiated skilfully both sale and purchase. I would definitely use him again and recommend him without hesitation.

Sam acted for us on the sale of our home. He was a reliable , dependable, professional young man. The house was signed and sold within a 7 day period. During this time Sam maintained a calm positive outlook was a good communicator and everything was done with a minimum of fuss. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

James did an excellent job in analysing our position in the market and what the outcome might be. He developed a strategy with us and Lyndall, which helped us understand and track the progress of the campaign. James met with us numerous times during the campaign to update us and discuss any changes we needed to make. His overall vision and strategy were spot-on and we achieved a great result! I would highly recommend James Baker to anyone selling.

Lyndall was very professional and skilled in the service she provided. She was great at communicating appointments and feedback to us and was with us every step of the way. She was very easy to talk to and listened to any concerns we had even when the pre-auction jitters took over. Being local herself, she was able to recommend other local professionals to help us with reports and certifications too. I would highly recommend Lyndall to anyone especially if you have not been through the process of selling at auction before.

Thanks to Adrian's advice, expertise and experience of The Northern Beaches we have received an outstanding price for our home of 28 years. Adrian was honest in his 1st appraisal of our home 2 years ago. He suggested ways to make our house more appealing - which we acted upon. After purchasing a new home recently Adrian immediately launched a 16 day Auction campaign which resulted in a great result. He and his team were very friendly and incredibly efficient. We could not recommend them more highly.
