James has an in depth knowledge of the area, and he used this to help us to clearly quantify what we were looking for based on current market data and projections. He took us through step by step the process and managed our expectations at each point. It is obvious from our experience with James that he loves doing what he does and that he gets satisfaction from getting great outcomes for buyers and sellers alike. From our perspective, he exceeded - not only in the outcome, but in the experience. I cannot recommend James (and his team) highly enough.

Lyndal was extremely helpful, she took the time to understand what it was we wanted and she didn’t rush us into doing anything until we felt ready for it. For an experience that is often extremely stressful, Lyndal, and professional demeanour meant that every interaction was positive. She was very responsive to our calls and questions, And was an absolute delight to deal with. Would highly highly recommend

We knew from the beginning that we were in good hands with James and we were impressed with his knowledge of the housing market. He was at all times professional, understanding of our situation and kept us up to date with the progress of our property. I would recommend James Baker, his team at McGrath Avalon to anyone wishing to sell their house.

Adrian and his team were a pleasure to work with. He gave us excellent advice on how to prepare the house for sale and a marketing strategy. Adrian and Rowena always informed us with what was happening in a very professional manner. Always returning my calls and answered all of my questions in detail. I would highly recommend Adrian and his team to anyone thinking of selling. Thank you again for an excellent result.

James Baker was recommended by friends and we will also be recommending him and his team. Selling in a lockdown was not how we imagined we would ever have sold and came with few hurdles. James has the skills and experience to handle the ever changing environment. He is very professional and is a very calm and clear thinker. He knows the area inside out and always gave us all the time we needed and explained everything so thoroughly with us. He is the complete package! Close to 20 years in our home, we feel so lucky that we chose James to be our Sales Agent!

Lauren has great communication skills and is warm and engaging. She also really believed in our house and remained very positive throughout the whole experience. It was a big deal to sell our house after 20 years of memories and Lauren helped with so many of the aspects involved. She is a very capable person and we feel so lucky that we had her with us on this journey!

Lauren was a star throughout the process of buying our family home, even post sale and after handing over the keys, Lauren has been so responsive on questions and recommendations for local trade people. Thanks again!

What impressed us from the beginning about James is that he is very strategic and analytical in the way he approached marketing and selling our property. He runs a very professional operation with an excellent team that ensures everything runs smoothly and effectively. James has a wonderful way with people and is extremely personable and tenacious without being overwhelming. James did an outstanding job selling our property and was a pleasure to work with. After buying and selling 11 homes I can honestly say that James is one of the very best agents I’ve worked with and I have no reservations in recommending him highly.

Delighted with the selling price. I would highly recommend Adrian to anyone thinking of selling. His knowledge of the market is amazing.

Having known James for several years, including as the selling agent for our previous home in Avalon Beach, we already held him in very high regard. When we were ready to buy, we were confident that he understood our wishlist for our new home, and knew this lovely property would tick nearly all of our boxes. He patiently showed us through it three times under COVID-safe conditions. James and his colleague Lauren Garner were friendly, approachable, answered our queries, and kept us updated as the sales campaign progressed. Sales negotiations were professional, honest and open. James does not play games, he isn't pushy, but he is strategic and focused on getting the deal done, and achieving the best outcome for both buyer and vendor. He calmly steered the sale, and we were thrilled to secure such a special home after a long search, and in difficult conditions during lockdown. We highly recommend James to any future buyers, and sellers!
