A very knowledgeable and skilled agent with the added bonus of being a really nice guy.

James’s knowledge and understanding of the real estate market really made a difference with the recent sale of our family home of 24 years. James was not only the consummate professional but he was also a very genuine person and this made it a pleasure to deal with him and the entire team at McGrath Pittwater during what is essentially a very stressful time. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and we hope the lovely family that have bought our house enjoy it as much as we have. We highly recommend James and the team at McGrath Pittwater if you are looking to sell or buy property in the local area.

Six star service

Six star service

James is an absolute pleasure to deal with. From start to finish, we received very valuable and considered advice. James has an intimate knowledge of the area / market trends and manages to convey it in a manner that someone who is less familiar, such as myself, could easily understand. We experienced exceptional service and would rate it six stars if possible. If you are looking for property on the Northern Beaches then your first call should be to James @ McGrath.

A pleasure to deal with an agent who is both knowledgeable and caring.

A pleasure to deal with an agent who is both knowledgeable and caring.

My wife and I can’t say enough about how professional and compassionate Lyndall was in assisting us with the recent successful sale of our family home of 24 years in Avalon Beach. We knew it would be an emotional experience and it certainly was but having Lyndall advising and supporting us throughout the marketing campaign and subsequent auction was invaluable. Lyndall has a wealth of knowledge in real estate and combined with her caring attitude it definitely had a positive impact on the sale. We would highly recommend Lyndall, James and the team at McGrath Pittwater if you’re looking to buy or sell a property.

Amazing service

Amazing service

We have used James as the agent to both sell and buy property from overseas. This is not an easy task normally! But James and his team’s utter professionalism have made this a stress free experience each time. Most recently, to sell our property, they negotiated a price above our expectations and kept all parties aligned and happy throughout the process. They are experts in their field but also lovely to work with, taking calls late into the night (due to foreign time zones) with no complaint. They are truly exceptional and recommended highly.

Lauren is professional in her approach and has vast local knowledge of the Bilgola and Avalon areas of Sydney. Her friendly disposition and ability to engage with prospective buyers for our home, gave us the confidence we needed to trust in her approach. We were thrilled with our auction result!

Adrian Venturi – real estate Guru

Adrian Venturi – real estate Guru

Adrian is a true master of his profession. His dedication and enthusiasm are second to none. His expertise and knowledge of the area and industry are mind-blowing. This, coupled with an unrivalled work ethic, ensures that his results speak for themselves. STREET RECORD! Need I say more? Adrian and his team worked their magic to get my home on the market in record time. From the campaign strategy to the marketing, which consisted of the most amazing photography, video and commentary, everything was coordinated seamlessly. Every open house was perfectly executed. A dedicated team of 4 (all licenced real estate agents) meant that the potential buyers were expertly welcomed in a friendly and efficient manner, even during an open house in a 1 in a 100-year storm. If you are going to Auction, then Adrian’s analysis of your campaign, knowledge of your potential buyers and real estate experience really come in to play. He will outline every situation possible, so whatever happens, you are prepared. Adrian cares passionately that you are happy with the outcome and are not left in a position where you have to make a snap decision without having had time to consider all your options. He genuinely believes that it’s a privilege that people trust their most valuable possession to him to sell and it shows. I cannot recommend Adrian and his “Dream Team” highly enough. Including Mark, the auctioneer. It’s worth going to Auction to have him “perform” in your living room! Everyone went well above and beyond my expectations.

Quick Sale of Bilgola Plateau home

Quick Sale of Bilgola Plateau home

Adrian Venturi was the selling agent for the property I just bought. I found Adrian to be friendly, knowledgeable and highly professional. It was a situation where he had multiple interested buyers who couldn't quite commit for various reasons. I slipped in between the buyers and made an immediate offer (without requiring finance approval). Once Adrian had his "committed buyer" he moved heaven and earth to negotiate the final details and pricing (a small increase) and arrange exchange of contracts. From the time I first saw the property to exchange was only 24 hours. He always had his own clients' interests as the paramount consideration but was a delight to deal with, so much so he's coming for a drink after settlement to view my quiver of old surfboards! Buying or selling, I thoroughly recommend Adrian's services.

Calm and Considered approach

Calm and Considered approach

We had always heard very positive feedback about James and the team at McGrath. We knew that they were always professional but James's calm and considered approach was the magic in the selling process. James will always provide you with an open and honest opinion at each stage. This helped with any stress especially as this was our first house sale in Australia. We would highly recommend James and his team. I would certainly choose them as an agent next time we sell because of the guidance and support they provided during the process.

Supportive and Knowledgeable

The whole experience of selling through McGrath was made easier because of the support and assistance of Lauren. Lauren has a wide range of knowledge of the Avalon and Northern Beaches market. She always provided great advice and kept us in the loop at all times. Our property was sold within 3 weeks of it going on the market. We were more than happy with the end result and would certainly recommend McGrath.
