I found James to be professional, available, flexible, a good communicator, commercial and he knows his facts and figures. I enjoyed doing business with James and I would welcome the opportunity of dealing with James professionally again in the future.

Prospective purchaser dealing with Lauren as a vendor agent

I liked Lauren as she was interested, genuine and accommodating and I found her to be approachable. Lauren was able to answer all of my questions with elegance but in a relaxed manner.

A pleasure to work with James Baker and the McGrath team - thank you!

A pleasure to work with James Baker and the McGrath team - thank you!

We chose James off the back of an excellent interview. James is straightforward, direct and honest. His market appraisal was accurate and we are very happy that the property sold for what we feel is great value, prior to auction. James market knowledge, and his ‘database’ was very useful. Would recommend James and McGrath if you are looking for a great result and a pleasurable real estate experience. Thanks again James.

6 Star Agent!

6 Star Agent!

It's not difficult to see why James Baker is one of the country's top ranking agents! He's the consumate professional with an impressive knowledge of the Pittwater real estate market. James and his team are honest, reliable and value integrity. Such is the regard we hold him in, we have now used James on three separate occasions to to sell our home, a vacant block of land and another local property. We recommend him unreservedly.

Sam helped make the sale of our house as pain free and convenient as possible and got us a result that we were extremely happy with. We were unsure about selling and felt that Sam was sensitive to our situation and always available to answer questions when needed. After the sale of the house, Sam was happy to take calls from us at almost anytime regarding properties we were looking at and give us his professional opinion. We highly recommend Sam and McGrath Avalon.

When we made the decision to sell our house the first question to answer was: which real estate agent should we choose? This was a difficult question, especially since our experiences in the past were not the happiest ones. We invited James Baker from McGrath over. From the very beginning we felt confident we had made the right choice. His knowledge, advice, kindness and prompt follow-up after each viewing made the whole processes of selling our house a pleasant experience. We would absolutely recommend him.

Excellent knowledge and skills

Adrian worked hard to sell our place above market value. He made himself available at all hours for any minor concern or question we had through the process. It is rare to find a real estate agent who has extensive knowledge of the area, great negotiating skills to get you the maximum price and still is a genuinely friendly guy. I don't think I have met another agent who lives for his job like Adrian does. He will work tirelessly and has the strategies to get you the best price.

Professional and motivated,

We used James and his team to sell the house. We wanted a discrete sale with a six month rental agreement on completion. James and Team arranged private viewing from his database of buyers. The house sold in two weeks. The whole process went very smooth, professional and the communication throughout was excellent. I would highly recommend James and his Team .

We found James very knowledgeable and experienced in the local market which was a great help. He was always punctual and his manner was friendly and courteous. He spent time to make us feel comfortable about the whole sale process and what to expect. We came to rely on his opinions and judgement. After talking to friends, we thought him the best local agent to trust with the sale and price negotiations for our house.

An Outstanding Result in Tight Timeframe

An Outstanding Result in Tight Timeframe

We chose Adrian Venturi, and McGaths Pittwater to sell our house. We felt they were the best team to undertake the task - given Adrian's credentials, his team, the location of our house, timeframe and the interesting market conditions we were experiencing. We weren’t disappointed. Adrian provided great advice and guidance throughout the process, but was always open to our input and suggestions. We worked together with his team to get the best property presentation in the time we had available. With his high level of communication we felt well informed and in touch with what was going on at all times. We can’t thank Adrian and his team enough for the hard work they put in. The campaign ran extremely smoothly. And at the the end of the day....the outstanding result achieved speaks for itself.
