Highly engaging and professional team led superbly by James Baker

Highly engaging and professional team led superbly by James Baker

From the moment we met James and Sam we instantly knew that they were the right people for the job. Hugely professional and engaging they clearly understood our drivers and creating a successful auction campaign. The manner and personable approach were the main reason we secured the right buyer for our property. I would highly recommend using James, Sam and the whole McGrath Avalon team. Thanks richard

Professional, ethical & supportive!

The sale of our house was a stressful time however Adrian's support, guidance and professionalism was amazing. Our campaign started off with a bang however as we moved into the fourth week and the auction it was greatly disturbed due to the new emerging COVID restrictions which also affected buyers, with many pulling away. Due to Adrian's persistence and negotiation, he was able to achieve a fantastic sale for us during this nerve wracking time. We can't thank Adrian enough.

Selling our beach house on the Northern Beaces

Selling our beach house on the Northern Beaces

We have known James for a number of years as we have bought 2 houses from him in the Northern Beaches. We have always found him to be the utmost professional when dealing with the serious side of real estate but also probably the most honest and down to earth. It has been a pleasure to have James and his team of Natalie and Lauren help us find the right buyer.

Such an easy Experience!

Such an easy Experience!

Our beautiful home was on the market with two other agents and even though we had a lot of interest, we were unable to secure a sale. After many disappointments, we decided to give Adrian and Jonathan a go. The journey was just the most wonderful experience. Right from the start, we felt that we were the only ones on their books! They handled everything so professionally and efficiently. The process was easy. We landed up selling our home under the most difficult of circumstances - right in the middle of the coronavirus epidemic. There was a lot of uncertainty and doubt on our behalf and Adrian was there with his positive and very assuring attitude at all times and as a result we felt calm and supported. Once , he found the buyer, he was able to negotiate a very fair and realistic price both for ourselves and the buyer. He works non-stop, he makes all the phone calls himself, he doesn't leave any of the important work to assistants. He is driven, friendly, non-pushy and I would, without any doubt, use him again in a heart beat! Thank you to the whole team! Finally we can move onto another adventure!

My brother and I recently sold our family home, using Lauren and her amazing team at Mcgrath in Avalon. Thanks to her insight, advice and wisdom, we were able to achieve a great result with our sale and felt incredibly well looked after right throughout our campaign.

Our first sale

Our first sale

After meeting with most of the agents in the area, we are really happy we chose James. In an industry with questionable agents, I cannot fault James - he was genuine and honest from beginning to end. Our sale was also particularly sensitive, and again, James was fantastic. Highly recommend James and I'll certainly be using him again.

What a pleasure working with Sam!

What a pleasure working with Sam!

Sam is an absolute delight to work with. He has a natural ability to both understand and work with the financial expectations and the emotional implications of selling a family home. At every stage in the process he was happy to help us in every way. Our opinions were always recognized and included. His knowledge of the real estate in this area is exceptional and we felt extremely confident in following his advice. We are very thankful and appreciative to Sam for making the sale a successful, seamless and happy process. Thanks again Sam!!

Lauren was the selling agent on several properties I viewed and importantly the one I bought!

I found Lauren such a pleasure to deal with throughout this whole process. She is knowledgable about the area and the market, and clearly passionate about property. She is extremely personable and responsive and has gone above and beyond to meet our needs as well as those of the seller. Can't wait to move in!
