A great experience

From the minute James walked in the door to do an appraisal of our home I straight away felt comfortable that he was the agent along with Lauren to handle the sale process. James was always available to offer suggestions and was honest in everything to do with the sale. James is more than an agent, he acts as a friend to help guide you through. I highly recommend James to anyone seeking the services to sell your home.

I have sold numerous properties over the years and can honestly say the service I received, not just during the sale process but also the after sales service was second to none. I highly recommend Lauren if you’re looking for an agent you can trust the sale of your property to.

Wind beneath my wings.

James Baker is an amazing, honest and diligent agent. But he would be nothing without Lauren by his side. Lauren was amazing through the process and acted as a fantastic go between for myself and the buyer. The buyer was in treated in purchasing furniture etc and Lauren handled the whole process like a champ. Thanks Lauren

Excellent!

Adrian guided us through the process of selling my deceased fathers property. He was recommended to us from a good friend who had engaged Adrian to sell their property, and had been very pleased with his honest approach and diligent service. My experience with Adrian was the same. From the very beginning he took great time in explaining all the processes involved in selling our house, and what he considered was the best approach and most importantly, why he thought so. He did everything he said he would do, and he kept us thoroughly informed on all activity throughout the marketing campaign. He worked hard and i believe took pride in delivering the best service he was capable of. We ended up with a great result, and i would recommend anyone to employ his services, as he is honest and he delivers.

Adrian and the entire McGrath team made the process of selling our property manageable and seamless. His in depth market knowledge, strategic expertise and communication skills undoubtedly contributed to the desired outcome. Adrian, Rowena and Judy were extremely helpful throughout the campaign and were a pleasure to deal with. Their attitude and professionalism also helped inform potential purchasers and bring them through to the auction.

A thoroughly professional experience, thorough and accommodating.

It has been a great experience to work with rather than against a real estate agent in the acquisition of our new home. Sam’s extensive local knowledge coupled with a simple transparent professionalism allowed us to negotiate for the property in order to achieve a terrific result for both parties. Thank you very much.

We have bought and sold in Avalon a few times and I try my absolute hardest to do it all with James. You want a bloke who’s straight then you can’t do better than James and his team. If you want to know what he’s like as a bloke just ask the happy bunch who work with him. They’re lovely.

12 Tasman Road, North Avalon

James was our 1st and only choice of agent for the sale of my property! Aside from having immeasurable knowledge and skills within the real estate industry, James is just a really decent guy with a unique ability to relate and communicate in a very genuine manor to not only us, but everybody who has met him. His communication and passion for what he does goes above and beyond. We loved how he also listened to our ideas and thoughts the whole way through the selling process, we never felt alienated or that we couldn’t express ourselves Anybody thinking of selling around the Avalon area and surrounding suburbs SERIOUSLY needs to talk to James and his team before looking elsewhere. Dream team!

Professional all the way

I got to know James Baker over eight years, as we tentatively put our property on the market, changed our minds, tested the market, withdrew the property, wanted to sell it, didn't want to sell it. James waited patiently and in 2019 we got serious about selling. By then James had become a principal in a different real estate business; we followed him to that business. Three months after listing we sold, at a very fair price. James gave us good, sensible advice and was always a pleasure to deal with. I thoroughly recommend him, especially if, like me, you sell a property just a few times in your life and acknowledge that you therefore cannot genuinely claim expertise. In my experience, James will steer you in the right direction.

Professional, helpful & friendly.

As a first home buyer I was inexperienced with the whole process. From the auction, down to the basic admin of buying our home, Adrian and Rowena went above and beyond to explain and assist me and my husband.
