During many obstacles in our search to find a home Lauren made it her mission to help us. Lauren’s relentless quest, constant communication, wealth of experience and knowledge of what we were searching was clear. Lauren created a clear profile of our needs and exceeded our expectations. Her wealth of experience in the market and personable approach ensured a smooth purchase. She has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Her genuine and transparent ethic is a rare find in her field. Thank you Lauren for helping our family find our first home, we are very appreciative. 5 stars do not do you justice.

James is a market leader in his field, a fountain of knowledge in the local area. Following an extremely lengthy search, many disappointments and challenges, James made it abundantly clear he would try to help us find our dream home. During negotiations he was clear, communicative and was able to get the deal over the line during a time when the market is so difficult to gauge. I would highly recommend James as a buyer and when the time comes as a vendor. He manages the balance between the two with finesse due to his breadth of experience. Thank you James.

When the time came to sell our house my wife and I asked Lyndal Barry who we had used before and had not long joined the team at McGrath working with who I regard as one of Avalon’s top agents, James Baker to come and give a market appraisal for our property. When selling a home it is a pretty daunting and stressful time and I have lived in Avalon my whole life and acquired my first home here 1991 and bought and sold 4 times since then. We were clear on what we wanted - trust, honesty and no BS. First impressions are usually best impressions and I must say I was very impressed with James’s market knowledge and understanding of our “musts” in the sale of our home. James run a few scenarios by us on what to expect and how to move forward and obtain a best result and true to James’s knowledge, the scenarios he run by us actually happened so we were prepared on how we were going make the sale happen, which resulted in us selling our home in 10 days with a result both my wife and I were extremely happy with. What really impressed us with James was his honesty and focus, at no time were we let down in the sale, but more importantly in my mind, as a agent he is primarily working for the vendor, but James showed real professionalism and understanding of the purchasers requests and he managed the sale with the best interests of both vendor and purchaser. Avalon is great community and word of mouth spreads pretty quickly and I am yet to hear a negative regarding James. Avalon is lucky to have many a good agent working here, in James we found honesty, integrity and first class knowledge and experience and brings all the expansive talent of the McGrath agency into Avalon. Heaven forbid that I wish to sell again, but if we do both my wife and I would be calling on James again. Mark and Kimberley Verrills Avalon

When my wife and I decided to sell our house in Avalon we decided to ask Lyndal to come and give us a market update and appraisal. Having built a trust with Lyndel before when we sold our last property back in 2017, Lyndal was the first agent we called. Lyndal’s market knowledge and experience was and is first class, she is honest and understanding of both vendor and purchaser with a driven approach to getting the sale done with a respect to all and achieving best result. She is very community minded and well respected with impeccable standards in approach and honesty. Selling and buying is a very stressful time for all, with Lyndal by your side, she takes that stress away and and is a very trustworthy agent to have working for you. Lyndal works and lives in the Avalon community and is held in high regard in honesty, respect and experience. My wife and I can not thank Lyndal enough for the job she did in the sale of our home. Mark Verrills Avalon.
