Dedicated agent!

Dedicated agent!

In a very difficult market, their dedication and communication were exceptional. We do not expect we would have got a better result by using another agent. We enjoyed working with Sam and would recommend him to anyone!

Outstanding agent

Outstanding agent

James Baker is one of the best real estate agents I have ever worked with. His knowledge of the local market, communication skills & commitment to achieving the best possible result for us was excellent. James & his team at McGrath Avalon exceeded our expectations. His honesty in the market value of our house & the preparation the whole team put into our marketing campaign was exceptional. I have no hesitation in recommending James to future clients & I would certainly contract McGrath Avalon for future sales & purchases.

Great experience from beginning to end

Great experience from beginning to end

James actually sold us our house and that is why we decided to use James and Jonathon from McGrath. James immediately builds trust with everyone he works with. He has a great knowledge of the market and is extremely professional and understanding. We are really pleased with the result we got and thank James and his awesome and friendly team at McGrath Avalon for all their hard work. They made every step of the process easy and nothing was too much trouble. Thanks also to Stephanie in the office who was outstanding, and Lauren’s amazing styling advice!

Professional and Generous with Time

Professional and Generous with Time

James' gentle professional approach to selling our much loved Avalon home recently was admirable. His market knowledge was extensive and true and there was nothing left unanswered on our behalf during our campaign. We felt we could trust James unreservedly to get us the best result in a difficult market and he did not disappoint. His calming manner was enviable on auction day when emotions were running high, not only for us as sellers but for the buyer as well. At all times we felt well prepared for the week ahead in the campaign and that decisions were ours to be made as the seller, with the knowledge that James had provided us. James was constantly available throughout the process of selling and we appreciate how generous he was with his time, his reassuring nature and his grasp of the situation at all times. We would wholeheartedly recommend James to any potential sellers in our Avalon area.

Diligent and Reassuring

Lauren took us from initially being a tentative seller to a place of excitement and an utter belief of anticipatory success! Her professional manner throughout the campaign was at all times, calm and reassuring giving extensive feedback and ample time and information to potential buyers. Her patience regarding the emotional side of selling for us was unrivalled. Her diligence was evidenced throughout the whole process and I would highly recommend Lauren to any future sellers in our Avalon area.

Empathetic, insightful and professional

Lyndall was refreshingly warm and uncomplicated for an agent, whilst being a complete professional. She was a pleasure to work with, always delivering on time and without fuss on the many follow ups and inquiries that we made of her. She showed natural insight and understanding of the key factors and a gentleness and empathy that created confidence and comfort. I am happy to recommend her as an agent.

James displayed all the attributes of a consummate residential property professional. He was attentive, courteous, pro-active and responsive to the needs and wishes of both the vendors and prospective buyers. He demonstrated a knowledge and understanding of the residential property market on the Northern Peninsular beyond the Bends that was truly impressive. I would be happy to recommend him to prospective vendors in the area.

Lauren was instrumental in the sale of my house in a tough market. Lauren provided valuable advice on how to best present the house along with ongoing intelligence on the actual sale itself. Lauren was proactive in seeking my input and thoughts on the progress of the sales campaign, acting accordingly. Lauren and the McGrath team worked hard to get me an optimal result.
