We were impressed by Lauren's friendly and down-to-earth attitude when we met her at other open houses and were pleased to have her on board for our sale as one of James Baker's team. The team approach was a really good feature, meaning more attention to buyers at each open, easier communication for us, and as we got to know Lauren during the sale we were even more impressed with her. She was always upbeat and reassuring but honest; she had good rapport with buyers; was knowledgeable about competitor properties to ours; and was tenacious in ensuring we got the sale in spite of a slowing market. Lauren was also great before and after the sale in liaising with us on the buyer's queries and other logistics, going the extra mile to ensure positive results. It was a pleasure working with Lauren, as well as James and Danielle on the one team.

We just sold our house.............and didn't even need to go on the market. This probably isn't the norm but the difference between an estate agent and a great estate agent is truly knowing your market and being able to match your buyers with your sellers. This is not the first time we have dealt with Adrian Venturi, nor do I expect it will be our last as if you are buying or selling a property on the Northern Beaches from Mona Vale to Palm Beach I sincerely believe that you will not find anyone that has better market knowledge or will work with more credibility and integrity for all parties involved.

Lauren Garner worked extensively on preparation for the recent sale of my property at Careel Bay. She negotiated and coordinated all styling and renovation with tight control of costs. Lauren oversaw all aspects of this important phase with dedication and efficiency. Her knowledge and communication were first class. Peter Sherwood Hong Kong

I might say there are no words to describe James Baker's efforts in selling my Careel Bay house. But I'm a writer, so there are words: honest, committed, proactive, hard-working, knowledgeable of both his area, property and construction - and he kept his word. James and his team updated me every step of the way and were meticulous in planning, approach and execution. I recommend him most highly. Peter Sherwood - Hong Kong

James is an absolute professional. He took the time to walk us through all possible scenarios of the sale process and made sure we were comfortable with every aspect rather than just pushing for a sale. James is extremely knowledgeable and his years of experience in the industry definitely shone through during the process of selling our house. We were very happy with the result and would not hesitate to use his services again.

From the very beginning of our journey to sell our home James clearly showed his knowledge and experience of the housing market in the Northern Beaches. He had a very hands on approach to the marketing and attended the photo shoots to insure the property was portrayed in the best possible way. During the campaign James kept us fully up to date with prospective buyers and comments from inspections. He guided us through difficult pricing decisions and helped us manage our expectations. While there are very few buyers in the upscale price range, James was able to identify true prospects and worked very hard to bring about a sale that met both our needs and those of the buyer. We felt that both parties had a great outcome primarily because Jame's genuinely understood each party's goals and was able to ultimately meet them. James is a true professional and a very nice person to boot. We have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

Throughout the process of our purchase in Avalon Adrian has been a fantastic agent to work with. From our interactions we have found him to be a personable and hardworking individual who always ensured that all enquiries were responded to in a timely and efficient manner. Where further investigation or discussion was required he went about it with due diligence and professionalism. We were given the impression that Adrian truely cared about the outcome and wanted to represent all parties in their best interests. It is without hesitation that we would recommend him as an agent.

My experience with James has been an overwhelmingly positive one. James is a very personable guy who relates well to buyers and sellers alike. As a buyer, James patiently kept in touch over a number of months while my property sold and finance was arranged. When negotiations commenced with the Vendor, James worked tirelessly with both Vendor and Purchaser to resolve numerous issues to allow the purchase to proceed. James was always easily contactable, returning calls at all times. He was always willing to address any concerns I had. I would be happy to work with James and the Avalon McGrath team again as either buyer or seller.

Adrian, along with his team was the most approachable and professional agent I have dealt with. His market knowledge, passion and personal effort he applies to the sale makes an incredible difference to what is normally quite a testing period. His constant reassurance and updates on the progress provides clarity and he is always available to discuss any issue. In the end we achieved a result we were happy with and very pleased that we chose Adrian to manage the process. He has certainly worked very hard to develop a strong relationship with the community and his reputation and hard word shows in the results he achieves. With strong support from Taylor this is a formidable team and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking to sell their property.
