professional and reliable sells agent

We had a fantastic experience selling our property with Ray Liu. In what is currently a shifting market, his professionalism truly shone through. I was particularly impressed by how timely his communication was; I received a thorough update right after every inspection. He was endlessly patient, supportive, and completely transparent from day one to settlement. We are thrilled with the outcome and would absolutely work with him again!

Most responsive, sincere and helpful agent we have ever met!

My husband and I are truly very happy that we have met Ray through this house hunting experience. Right from the first instance when we met Ray at the Open Inspection, we could sense his genuine passion in his job and his open and sincere personality. His communication style immediately made us feel very at ease and comfortable, and that opened us to better understanding of the property very swiftly. Throughout the couple of weeks before our decision was made, we had so many questions and queries to do with the investigation into the strata of the property, Ray has been most helpful. He tirelessly and honestly went through the whole process of our investigation with us. He pointed us to the right persons with their contact detail to help us get to the bottom of our worry, and he was with us every stage of our investigation. Unlike some other agent who usually would have just thrown us in the direction of the strata or the council and that’s it. At one stage my husband and I were almost going to give up on this property if not for Ray’s persistent and kind help. I felt Ray went through the whole process with us “effortlessly” in that because that’s his personality. He’s an excellent communicator, he’s genuine in wanting to help because of his kindness, he’s an honest person and he’s very passionate in his job. We feel blessed to meet him as the agent of a property that we like so much, if not for him we could have already given up on this property. And I really think the seller of this property is very blessed too to have chosen him as his agent. Thank you Ray for helping us bought this property that we love so much at first sight.

A solid team experience that produced an excellent outcome.

We are delighted with the outcome of the sale of our home and we appreciate the hard work of our McGrath team: Peter, Brooke, Gavan and Bridget who were professional, respectful, communicative and diligent in all their interactions with us. We are particularly grateful to Peter who heads this dynamic team and it was reassuring to see the respect and admiration his team has for him. Peter’s communication skills were extraordinary as he honestly and clearly managed our expectations in the current changing and unpredictable market. He was always responsive and available and worked hard to build a positive working relationship with us. We felt we were in the hands of an agent who understands the market, has a genuine love for the Lower North Shore and who operates with integrity. Peter’s connections in the industry coupled with a strong marketing plan attracted a lot of interest in our home and there were many attendees at each viewing. He provided us with honest and comprehensive feedback from viewers and effectively liaised between us, various interested parties and finally the successful buyer to achieve a positive outcome well before the auction date. We highly recommend Peter and his team to steward the sale of prospective vendors’ properties.

Peter & team were amazing

Team Chauncy were amazing. From the first meet, to having the photographer and copy writer in, to his amazing assistant, Bridget, I was really impressed. Peter, Gavan and Bridget were great to deal with. Peter was very transparent and open throughout the process and guided us as appropriate. Was comforting to have this in a challenging market. Thanks again Peter!
