What a team!

James is great agent made even better as he is supported by an amazing team. Due to circumstance, I provided a tricky equation midway through the campaign. McGrath Avalon came through on time and in full. Thanks guys, double shakas!

Lauren was excellent in all aspects of her profession as a real estate agent. I rated her highly in market knowledge, communication skills, credibility and negotiation ability. Lauren's friendly, helpful and sincere nature contributed significantly to the post sale assistance for me and the buyer. Both Lauren and James worked conscientiously towards achieving an exceptionally successful outcome. I have no hesitation in recommending Lauren who will bring home many more successful sales in future!

Lauren was extremely helpful in all facets of our house sale, especially in assisting with the styling of our home. She has a great eye and attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble and she kept us informed at all times during the sale process. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone wishing to sell their home.

Passionate and down to Earth !

Passionate and down to Earth !

Lauren was a pleasure to work with to the point of feeling so relaxed and reassured that no matter who she showed through our house we knew they would leave feeling excited and engaged with our campaign. Her passion for life really transcribes fluently into her work and from day 1 it became clear that this zest for real estate effortlessly complimented the homely vibe that we were trying to portray in our campaign. One story that I am sure Lauren will share more details with you in person is when during an open home we had a visit from a nosey/jelous neighbour ... let’s just say that this neighbour didn’t impact or affect our campaign one bit !! Haha Aside from her amazing personality and flare for what she does, her overall knowledge and background in interior design was so helpful to us in that we knew she really understands the efforts we put in to presentation and the details. Love Lauren and how she helped us throughout the campaign! Not just an Agent but a true friend!

Great Agent!

James came recommended to us from a friend who had dealt with James as a buyer. I had mentioned that we were new to the process of selling a house, and that I really wanted an agent who was honest and transparent, and we were not disappointed. James was extremely supportive in terms of explaining the process from start to finish. He was always on hand if we had any questions and he made the time to visit us multiple times in person [at our house which is great when you have 2 young children!!], which showed his commitment to our campaign. To someone who has not sold a house before, it was daunting, but James was reassuring throughout and his advice helped us make the right decision which resulted in the sale of our house. We will always be very thankful to James for supporting us and could not recommend him highly enough.

Great Agent!

Lauren has been such a great support through this whole process. This was our first time selling a house, and from start to finish Lauren has been on hand to ensure it was a success. From her advice on styling through to a thorough briefing after each viewing, Lauren kept us up to date on the entire process. She provided realistic assessments on potential buyers interest levels, showing she really understood their needs, but also bought into the highlights of our house which she sold with great enthusiasm. Even post sale, Lauren has been helpful in assisting us - we are moving out of the area and were struggling to find a rental. She has tracked down a local real estate contact for us - to me that speaks volumes about what a genuinely nice person she is and the extra mile she will go to to support you. I would not hesitate in recommending Lauren to manage your sale!

James Baker is a true professional with exceptional attention to detail. He was a calm and positive presence in what can be a stressful time. I always felt confident that James would sell our property and he did, within three weeks. He is extremely knowledgeable of the local market and has strong negotiating skills. I would not hesitate to recommend James and the team at Mc Grath Avalon to any one thinking of selling their property.

NAILED IT! - VERY VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULT!

NAILED IT! - VERY VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULT!

Having known James for a number of years it was a clear and easy decision to use him as the Agent for my house. His knowledge of the industry and personable, relaxed approach to selling our home was everything for us. We never doubted that the house would sell at Auction with his expertise at the Helm. One thing that I will always remember is approximately 2 years ago, I asked James for an Appraisal on our house after we had just completed some major Landscaping and Pool restorations. In our eyes our house had never looked so good. However James pulled us a aside and basically said "wait for at least a year or more until you sell". He made mention of some key points to what we should do around the property to give it greater privacy and general street appeal. Hence, we took his advice, worked tirelessly around the gardens and building an undercover outdoor area in the process. Can't thank him enough for the advice and for his communication throughout the campaign!
