I couldnt have asked for a better experience selling my home through Lauren. From the initial meeting, Lauren demonstrated a solid understanding of the market, was extremely professional and communicated frequently. The speed in which we got our propoerty prepared to sell, the coordination of trades, stylists, photographers and marketing, all happened within a week and without a glitch thanks to Laurens strong organisation and commited team around her. Throughot the campaign we were in contact every day with weekly meetings to review its progress. We knew exactly where we were at at any given moment, and were really grateful for the advice and guidance we received which got us to a result that we were extremely happy with. I would highly recommend Lauren and the McGrath team and we will certainly be using them again.

Lauren's understanding of the market was excellent. She perfectly co-ordinated all the details required to get my house ready for market and made sure that everything ran smoothly with my sale. Lauren is very professional and calm and takes the time to help both the vendor and the purchaser with all their queries and concerns. I couldn't recommend Lauren more highly!

Working with James was a pure pleasure. He was understanding and very helpful during the complex business of selling. He was very professional and an excellent negotiator. His team is a reflection of his high standards and made the whole process easy and stressless. I was very happy with the result of my sale and would highly recommend James to everyone.

James Baker and his team at Mc Grath were extremely helpful during the whole Real Estate buying/selling experience. We got to know James and his team quite well during our long search for our perfect house, as we kept meeting up with them every weekend at Open Houses over about a two year period! James and his team were always helpful and right on top of the volatile market. Lyndall Barry called us to tell us about the perfect house for us, which is the one we bought! On the selling side, James and his team, Jonathan and Lyndall, provided very sound advice to help us get the result we wanted, right down to the small details that make a difference to a buyer. They are very professional in everything they do. James is a strong communicator, is quick to answer questions and is always available. I was extremely impressed with the whole experience as I feel they definitely go the extra mile to get the best outcome for their clients. I would definitely recommend James and his team.

It was a pleasure to list my property with the McGrath, Avalon team. From the first valuation meeting with Lauren Garner and James, to completion, a well managed sale. During the sales process the majority of my communications were with Lauren Garner. In all communications, appointments and arrangements, Lauren provided very honest, professional advise and support. Above and beyond normal expectations. A huge thank you to Lauren Garner, and all the team at McGrath, Avalon. I highly recommend Lauren Garner to any prospective Vendor or purchaser

i bought & sold a house with James....It's rare to find an agent whose attitude & opinion doesn't change whether you are buying or selling. This approach is proof of Jame's honesty & belief in his own ability.. i would happily recommend james

Once again in 2020 James Baker of McGraths demonstrated for me his outstanding abilities as a Real Estate Agent. As part of my planning to downsize from my substantial waterfront property of which sadly I was the sole occupant, I had previously bought a suitable site to build a smaller more suitable home for my 92 years age. James was the selling agent and I was most impressed with his capacity to deal competently and fairly with me while always having the best interests of his client clearly uppermost. Consequently when the time came for sale of my waterfront, I appointed James/ McGraths. In a difficult market for the price bracket of my property we were unable to find a serious buyer despite James' strenuous efforts. He identified a prospective purchaser who needed to sell his Southern Highlands property before committing to another substantial investment. James suggested and negotiated a six month option for them to purchase and I readily accepted this and the fee. When the option expired the country property was still not sold with bush fires badly affecting this market and the option expired. Undeterred James maintained contact and when their property sold he again returned to me to renew their interest. My property sold to them and the outcome was completely satisfactory to me. I could not be more satisfied with his persistence and total professionalism. I can also confirm from the friendly relationships established with the purchasers that they too are extremely satisfied with the transactions.

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.

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.

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.

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.
