Selling your house can be a very emotional and stressful time. James and his team were professional, understanding, highly qualified and knowledgeable. Wether you are looking to buy or sell we highly recommend James and his team. They are the complete package.

Adrian was our first choice agent, as we knew what to expect through prior dealings with him as purchasers. Adrian's negotiation skills are first class, and that's what we needed in this changing, tightening market. Adrian worked with us for over a year leading up to the sale, providing market advise, dates to aim for to maximise exposure to buyers and even some input into styling, which for a small cost made all the difference. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the effort that Adrian and his team put into selling our house. Thanks again..!!

Professional and Sophisticated Campaign

Professional and Sophisticated Campaign

James, Adrian and the rest of the team at McGrath Avalon ran a sophisticated and professional campaign, resulting in the successful sale of our property on the day of auction. James and Adrian were both skilful and tireless negotiators. We were kept well informed throughout the campaign and were very grateful for the attention we and our property received, from styling to photography to marketing knowledge. I would happily recommend McGrath Avalon.

James was really attentive to my property requirements, and led me to the house that ticked every box on my wish list. It took a long while but he didn't lose interest in me. Such a professional and friendly team.

James and Lauren worked as a team on our successful sale. James knowledge of the area was what initially made us select this team. Due to our unusual medical circumstances, Lauren showed enormous care with us, she reported in detail after every inspection, we never had to wonder about anything. James and Lauren worked so well and consulted with us constantly. You cannot do better than use this team at McGrath Avalon.

Working with James [and the entire McGrath Avalon Team] was a pleasure from start to completion. James' advice was credible and accurate and communication through the entire sales process was detailed and frequent. I wouldn't hesitate to engage James and McGrath Avalon again.

My experience with Adrian Venturi, McGrath’s Real Estate, Avalon One of the neighbours said: “Don’t worry about getting an agent, just put up a sign: the place will sell itself!” He was trying to be helpful and possibly save me agents’ commission. However, even though I had some experience in selling properties, I realised I needed some advice of how to best present this property in its prime position and attract potential buyers. So I picked the agent with the best sales record in the area, which is Adrian Venturi of Mc Grath’s Real Estate. From the moment he entered the house and introduced himself, I realised I had made the right choice, not only in getting an agent but in getting this particular agent. He immediately perceived how best to market the property by focusing on its natural highlights. What sets Adrian apart from other agents is that he has a flair for making constructive suggestions of how to present a property to best effect. He perceived that the furniture and some of the fittings, especially the dark and wooden wall surrounds, were unsympathetic to the otherwise spectacular layout and position. He then in detail described a preferred re-design of the interior, which I subsequently implemented at very low cost, chiefly with a paint brush. He also recommended I use his favourite stylist to replace the old and detracting furniture. This turned out to be a complete success, and he observed: “You’ve renovated the place without a renovation.” There was simply no comparison between the before and the after. In the sales campaign for the auction Adrian’s agency excelled in every respect. Multitudes of people were shown the property. In addition there are always procedural, legal and practical issues that need to be addressed and it was a pleasure working with Adrian to solve them in short order. He also has a good rapport with potential buyers and he kept me well informed at all times. When it comes to Auctions, Adrian is in his element. He kno

Adrian went above and beyond for us. His communication skills are first class. He regularly checked in and was one of only a few agents who listened to what we were looking for in a house. We truly feel like he had our best interests at heart and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
