Great Agent and Team

Great Agent and Team

Would highly recommend James and his team. Big thanks also to Lauren who did a great job assisting with the styling. James is very knowledgeable about the Avalon market and delivered a fantastic result. Throughout the campaign we never felt at all pressured and communication was always open and transparent. Having dealt with many agents over the years, James is by far one of the best and deserves the great results he is achieving in the market.

Professional sound advice

Professional sound advice

We recently listed our Avalon property with James for sale, which has now been successfully achieved. We found James to be a very friendly, mild mannered, skilled and knowledgable professional real estate advisor, who displayed strong ethical traits and a willingness to put the interests of his clients above those of his own. It is clear when dealing with staff within his office that his personal determination to act in a professional honest way, permeates through to all members, and makes the whole process far less stressful than it otherwise can be. James was available whenever we needed advice or comment about any issue that arose, and his skill and expertise enabled us to achieve a result that met our expectations all in a calm, stress free manner. James is a great leader, and the right person to have on your side when transacting a sale or purchase - we would certainly use and rely upon his advice again.

James has integrity - a man of his word

James has integrity - a man of his word

We have known James for some years, prior to him becoming co Principal & Director of McGrath Avalon. When we decided to list our property, James was an obvious choice, with his team member Lyndall Barry. Our property was unique in many ways and James was honest and upfront in the outset regarding us finding a suitable buyer for our much loved home and the time frame that may be involved. We never mentioned our price, we just asked James for the figure he would be confident in achieving and would not detract from. At no stage during the sales process did James waiver from this figure and try to advise us to take a lower offer that we were not comfortable with. James has outstanding qualities that make him the success he is today, patience is definitely top of the list! James has a great team behind him, so a special thank you to all of them, selling with McGrath Avalon was the best decision we could have made. You really are a delight to work with James, we will always be grateful for the extra mile you went to for us.

Excellent, thank you Lyndall!

Excellent, thank you Lyndall!

We have known Lyndall for sometime, both as a local Real Estate Agent and through family friends. We had no hesitation in requesting Lyndall assist James Baker in the sale of our home. Lyndall proved instrumental in matching our home to a local purchaser who had no intention of coming to view. We have watched Lyndall thrive in her position with McGrath Avalon, Lyndall is an asset to a great team. We will not miss "Open Homes" but will miss our weekly interaction with Lyndall - Thank you so much Lyndall for making our lives easier during the sale process.

Rowena Woodworth REA

It is my pleasure to write a review for Rowena Woodworth. I have sold two properties within the Avalon Beach area in the last 18 months utilising Rowena as my senior salesperson. Rowena's professionalism and good nature sets her apart from other agents. An easy going family lady involved within the school communities of the area for a number of years means she has great knowledge of the unique area that is Avalon. Rowena's warm smile and honest approach to her vendors and purchasers alike see her as a most sought-after sales agent. I would highly recommend Rowena Woodworth to any prospective vendor and am very happy to be contacted for further information. James H.

First class

We have now bought and sold with James Baker and the customer experience was first class - both sides of the fence. James and his colleague Lyndall made us comfortable throughout and it was an absolute pleasure to work with them. They were professional and empathetic, and told us what we needed to know, not just what we wanted to hear. Kristina and I took a lot of comfort knowing that our house was in good hands, and James and Lyndall absolutely delivered. Highly recommended.

From the moment we first met Lyndall she was the consummate professional. She has great market knowledge and was able to assist with anything we needed as a buyer. This exceptional level of service has continued post sale which demonstrated her willingness to go above and beyond for both byers and sellers.

Working with Adrian and the team was seamless. They were the perfect partner to make the process, as efficient and effective as possible. Always there with the right advice, the smarts to make the right decision, and the support to get through a big life moment. We would most definitely recommend the McGrath team.

McGrath Real Estate, Avalon Beach, Sydney

McGrath Real Estate, Avalon Beach, Sydney

It has been our pleasure to know Adrian Venturi and his Sales Assistant Rowena Woodworth for many years. Adrian has an unparalleled knowledge of Bilgola Plateau and surrounding suburbs due to his long career in Real Estate. We really like Adrian on a personal and professional level. He is very hard-working, diligent, courteous and pragmatic. We chose his services for the successful sale of our home not only for these qualities but also that he is not a "hard" salesman. He is fair and patient. Rowena also possesses similar fine qualities along with a wonderful smile and long lasting connections with the school communities. She was always a delight to deal with and remained patient despite our multitude of questions. A truly lovely person. We have no hesitation in recommending McGrath Avalon Beach and all it's staff for any prospective sales or rental requirements. We are happy to be contacted for further information if required. James and Giulia.
