We absolutely recommend LyndaII for her attention to the detail

We absolutely recommend LyndaII for her attention to the detail

We recently engaged McGrath Real Estate from Avalon to sell our Careel Bay home. LyndaII Barry was assistant to James Baker for the full period of the programme. We absolutely recommend LyndaII for her attention to the detail that is needed in setting up a programme that suits both seller and agent and proceeds to sale without any problems occurring that cannot be corrected. No requests for assistance with advice or ideas were ignored and we feel that Lyndall plays a very important part in this wonderful agency. We would give LyndaII the highest recommendation for the assistance that she gave us during what could have been a very stressful time for us.No questions were left unanswered and all assistance required was given. She has a very pleasing personality that must be a great asset to such a position.

We would highly recommend James Baker and his efficient team

We recently engaged McGrath Real Estate from Avalon to sell our Careel Bay home. James Baker and his team were absolutely fantastic in their attention to detail in helping us prepare for the sale and guiding us through the procedure.His assistant LyndaII Barry was an integral part of the very smooth programme that the company set for the selling of our home. James and lyndall were available at all times to answer questions that we had in relation to the programme and we were kept fully informed of all developments along the way. We have been and continue to be very satisfied with our choice of agency to sell our property and would highly recommend James Baker and his efficient team.

Professional, easy and lived up to expectations

Professional, easy and lived up to expectations

James was recommended to me by a friend who recommended him and his team. I will be forever grateful to her, as James achieved a sale for our property that was way beyond our expectations. We sold after the first viewing, having not even put our property officially on the market. The professionalism of the McGrath Pittwater team made the whole process so quick and easy, I still can't believe how little I had to do and how smoothly everything proceeded. The advice I received regarding the preparation of the house pre-sale (what to do and not do) was spot on. James himself was a delight to deal with, a lovely, warm gentleman whom I had total trust in. Highly recommended.

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.

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.
