We chose James as our Agent through a friend’s recommendation and we were not disappointed. Having worked with different agents before on our other properties we rate James and Lauren as the best. They exceeded our expectations in how they connected with the buyers and got them engaged to achieve the outcome we were hoping for.

We have just had an exemplary experience selling our treasured family home through James. Upon signing the contracts, James reflected that it had taken us 10 years to get to that moment - he surely must be the most patient real estate agent on the planet! We regard James as an honest, respectful and courteous person, guiding us with integrity, helpfulness and caring at one of the most emotionally conflicting times in our lives. If you are considering selling your home and are searching for an agent who practices excellence, integrity and diligence - while always maintaining composure, genuine warmth and a smile - we cannot recommend James highly enough.

We love Lauren Garner and are more than happy to give her the highest possible recommendation! She successfully balances being approachable and down to earth with maintaining absolute professionalism. Her work drive and determination are to be commended - she knows her market thoroughly, is well connected and strives to do her job to the very best of her ability. At a stressful time when we experienced self doubt and uncertainty, Lauren was a calming influence, settling us with her knowledge, pragmatism and humour. Lauren is a touchingly empathetic and warm person and we absolutely appreciated this through the emotional roller coaster of (very successfully) selling our adored family home. We have now switched from vendor to purchaser and are once again leaning on Lauren, knowing that she will go above and beyond to assist us in our search.

As Soon as we met James and Lyndall we felt comfortable and reassured with the team we were about to entrust our home to .They were a great team and were only a phone call away . James and Lyndall had a great marketing and back office team and therefore made the whole process of selling our home seam effortless. Not a great time to sell in the Covid era but were happy with the outcome

Adrian, Rowena, Judi and their team were fantastic. They were very real with me and kept me up to date with progress. They have a lot of history and knowledge of the market in the Plateau and made sure the decisions they advised me to make were well informed. Our weekly meetings were always great and any questions I ever had were answered immediately. Can't recommend them highly enough

James is exceptionally knowledgeable of the Avalon Beach market and that played a major role in us selecting him to sell our property. The sale process was professional and pleasant and James' team, Lyndall Barry and Lauren Garner, played a huge part in that. We achieved a good result and would highly recommend James and his team to other vendors.

Adrian and his team were there from the start, helping us to find our new family home and keeping us updated on the market. Always happy to answer our questions and provide us with the guidance we needed along the way. We are so glad that the home we ended up buying was through Adrian, we couldn’t be happier. We have been singing the praises of Adrian, Rowena and Judy to our friends and family, what a fabulous, down-to-earth team!

I have nothing put the highest praise for Adrian Venturi of McGrath Avalon. He has made one of the most stressful times in my life run as smoothly as clockwork. Adrian has been incredibly professional - so knowledgeable about the property market & accommodating of all my questions & requests, always available, polite, honest, hardworking and kind...everything that you want to find in an agent. The hugest of thanks to you, Adrian, & your incredible team, and if at any time in the future I’m looking for an agent you’ll certainly be my first choice!!

We signed up with James Baker to sell our property in Clareville , NSW2107. His team were superb, the support they gave from start to finish was first class. The help and advice given, really reduced the stress levels involved in selling a property. James and team negotiated an excellent price - 100K above what we thought would be our best achievable price. Thanks James and Laureen , I will definitely use your services again.

Adrian has been an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout the sale of our property and beyond. He has a true passion for real estate and this comes across in all our dealings with him. He's driven, knowledgable and has excellent relationship building skills. Our home was sold off market before we even had the chance to launch the auction campaign, testament to his database. We felt he walked a tight line between working for us on this sale, and also his existing clients who were our buyers. He did this well, and we felt like he gave sound advice, without pushing us, and would always support the decision we came to. We were comfortable in being able to be completely upfront with him during the whole process and now as we continue to look for our next home. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Adrian and his team to anyone looking to sell in the Bilgola Plateau and surrounds, he's an enthusiast for the area and we would most certainly use him again.

Adrian has extensive market knowledge coupled with a great attitude and a caring tactful approach. Lots of fun to work with Adrian and Rowena. Thank you for helping us buy our dream home. Thank you for accommodating our busy work schedules and making yourselves available each time we needed you along the process. This experience gained us a beautiful home and nice two friends. Thank you for the beautiful house warming orchid and bubbles. We highly recommend working with Adrian.

Rowena surpassed all our expectations of a sales agent. We were overseas at the time of the sale but she kept us totally informed of all progress through emails and phone calls. Rowena showed incredible empathy, both with us, and with the purchaser. Her knowledge and professionalism were outstanding.
