Recently sold my house with James and Lauren at McGrath. Excellent local knowledge and a long list of well qualified buyers made my sale about as stress free as possible. Also using them for renting my new house in the area. I would highly recommend James , Lauren and the team at McGrath to any prospective buyers for the Northern Beaches

Having engaged James Baker from McGrath Pittwater to sell our property we knew from our first meeting, we were in good hands. From the intricate final details when selling a house, the process was seamless. Professionalism, empathy and considerate are the words that spring to mind immediately. Selling a house can be a stressful situation, however, James took care of everything. The above and beyond mentality was evident, with after hour viewings, Sunday calls and ensuring the house was always left neat and tidy. We would thoroughly recommend James Baker from McGrath Pittwater to anyone looking to sell their home.

3 years ago James helped me move from Eastern Suburbs to Avalon and purchase my first house in Avalon. In September I purchased a 2nd house in Avalon that James listed. In November James and Lauren sold my house. So with this headline you can appreciate that as buyer / seller we have had exceptional experiences with James, Lauren and the team from McGrath Pittwater. To summarise for this review: * Kept in contact with me - most real estate agents want your business and you never hear from them again. With James over the last 3 years would regularly checkin for a quick call, send a txt and visit periodically. It's more of a relationship with James and you don't feel like one off transaction. * Educates, leads with data driven insights - James I've found when educating us led with objective data vs being subjective. Whenever I tried to challenge James he could always back up his insights with the raw data. When you want to believe in someone having the data to back it up really helps * Results - 12 months ago the value of my house decreased in value and James was honest when he visited to provide a market appraisal. Fast forward to now the result of the sale was extremely satisfying * Lead by Example - throughout our campaign there were times we had to make decisions and because I nor my wife didn't have experience or time busy with our jobs, I would push the decision back on James and his team being the experts. * Simplicity with Speed - The entire campaign James and managed us as vendors to make it as simple and as easy as possible for us whilst at the same time executing at speed to achieve a win/win outcome. Would I recommend James and Lauren to friends and family yes because I could trust he would do right by them.

I couldnt have asked for a better experience selling my home through Lauren. From the initial meeting, Lauren demonstrated a solid understanding of the market, was extremely professional and communicated frequently. The speed in which we got our propoerty prepared to sell, the coordination of trades, stylists, photographers and marketing, all happened within a week and without a glitch thanks to Laurens strong organisation and commited team around her. Throughot the campaign we were in contact every day with weekly meetings to review its progress. We knew exactly where we were at at any given moment, and were really grateful for the advice and guidance we received which got us to a result that we were extremely happy with. I would highly recommend Lauren and the McGrath team and we will certainly be using them again.

Lauren's understanding of the market was excellent. She perfectly co-ordinated all the details required to get my house ready for market and made sure that everything ran smoothly with my sale. Lauren is very professional and calm and takes the time to help both the vendor and the purchaser with all their queries and concerns. I couldn't recommend Lauren more highly!

Working with James was a pure pleasure. He was understanding and very helpful during the complex business of selling. He was very professional and an excellent negotiator. His team is a reflection of his high standards and made the whole process easy and stressless. I was very happy with the result of my sale and would highly recommend James to everyone.

James Baker and his team at Mc Grath were extremely helpful during the whole Real Estate buying/selling experience. We got to know James and his team quite well during our long search for our perfect house, as we kept meeting up with them every weekend at Open Houses over about a two year period! James and his team were always helpful and right on top of the volatile market. Lyndall Barry called us to tell us about the perfect house for us, which is the one we bought! On the selling side, James and his team, Jonathan and Lyndall, provided very sound advice to help us get the result we wanted, right down to the small details that make a difference to a buyer. They are very professional in everything they do. James is a strong communicator, is quick to answer questions and is always available. I was extremely impressed with the whole experience as I feel they definitely go the extra mile to get the best outcome for their clients. I would definitely recommend James and his team.

It was a pleasure to list my property with the McGrath, Avalon team. From the first valuation meeting with Lauren Garner and James, to completion, a well managed sale. During the sales process the majority of my communications were with Lauren Garner. In all communications, appointments and arrangements, Lauren provided very honest, professional advise and support. Above and beyond normal expectations. A huge thank you to Lauren Garner, and all the team at McGrath, Avalon. I highly recommend Lauren Garner to any prospective Vendor or purchaser
