Only one for us !!!

Only one for us !!!

I am so happy to give James this recommendation. He deserves it. Not only is he a extremely knowledgeable and professional Agent but he is such a warm and friendly person. I felt so confident in James' ability to achieve the amazing result for our property, that he did. A street record!!!! From the get go, James was extremely generous of his time and patiently stepped us through the sales/auction process as we had not had property dealings in 18 years. James gave us comprehensive information and advice about marketing the property in the various media options and allowed us to make the decision without any pressure whatsoever. James stepped us through a guide price for our property which which was accurate and achievable. Throughout the campaign, James kept us totally informed regarding prospective buyers and would phone immediately after every open for inspection. He phoned us with updates and we were always in the loop. As a vendor we really appreciated that. He negotiated our sale in such a way that it achieved such a great result. His calming nature and reassurance during a very stressful time was wonderful. We couldn't be happier with James' and his wonderful team at McGrath Avalon. Thank you so much.

From our first meeting with Lauren, she came across as a very happy, warm person with a comprehensive knowledge of the Avalon real estate market. With very many recent sales under her belt, Lauren was able to advise us accurately of the guide range that our property would fall into. During the sale process, Lauren was amazing at keeping us informed and updated of prospective buyers and their comments. With Lauren's help and expertise, our sales campaign was very successful. Lauren's previous experience as a property stylist was extremely valuable to me also. She gave me great advice and suggestions and an immense amount of her time. Thank you to Lauren and her hard working team.

Rowena was very committed to my property and seemed like she had genuine care for us as vendors. She went above and beyond to maintain contact regarding anything that needed my attention. She always gave plenty of warning time before private inspections and always left the property with care - all the lights off, doors locked etc. I would recommend Rowena to anyone wanting a caring and conscientious agent.

Adrian's knowledge of the Northern Beaches real estate market is second to none. His willing to share this information and expertise in guiding buyers in their purchasing decisions is highly commendable. Adrian is one of those rarities in the real estate industry - honest, reliable and fair. A consummate professional.

Adrian has lived in the area for a long time so knows the market very well. He was good with negotiations and got us what we were looking for. He went above and beyond and even helped me move a heavy piece of furniture into the garage. I would recommend Adrian to anyone wanting to sell in the Pittwater area.

Lauren worked closely with potential buyers on a day to day basis. My impression is that she managed these interactions with the right mix of professionalism and engagement. Lauren demonstrated the ability to negotiate successful outcomes and was instrumental in achieving the number of return viewers. Lauren was always prompt and reliable in all dealings with both the vendor and purchasers, with no detail too small to follow through on.

Great agent

James knows the local market in a detailed way and really keeps informed of what is happening with sales. He developed a good marketing strategy which attracted a very good response of inspections and potential buyers. James has a very engaging style with buyers and was effective at maximising interest in the property. The final sale was assisted by the extra exposure James was able to get through his contacts with media groups, including a feature of the property on a SkyTV property segment. Would recommend James for his professional approach and the results he is able to achieve.

Having Lauren as my agent was truly a breath of fresh air. Not only was she equipped with the skill set and knowledge within the industry, she ensued the whole process from beginning to end ran smoothly. There were no hidden or unexpected surprises as Lauren was transparent with every aspect of selling my home. I highly recommend working with Lauren for any of your real estate needs.
