Selling our beach house on the Northern Beaces

Selling our beach house on the Northern Beaces

We have known James for a number of years as we have bought 2 houses from him in the Northern Beaches. We have always found him to be the utmost professional when dealing with the serious side of real estate but also probably the most honest and down to earth. It has been a pleasure to have James and his team of Natalie and Lauren help us find the right buyer.

Such an easy Experience!

Such an easy Experience!

Our beautiful home was on the market with two other agents and even though we had a lot of interest, we were unable to secure a sale. After many disappointments, we decided to give Adrian and Jonathan a go. The journey was just the most wonderful experience. Right from the start, we felt that we were the only ones on their books! They handled everything so professionally and efficiently. The process was easy. We landed up selling our home under the most difficult of circumstances - right in the middle of the coronavirus epidemic. There was a lot of uncertainty and doubt on our behalf and Adrian was there with his positive and very assuring attitude at all times and as a result we felt calm and supported. Once , he found the buyer, he was able to negotiate a very fair and realistic price both for ourselves and the buyer. He works non-stop, he makes all the phone calls himself, he doesn't leave any of the important work to assistants. He is driven, friendly, non-pushy and I would, without any doubt, use him again in a heart beat! Thank you to the whole team! Finally we can move onto another adventure!

Awesome people great result

My brother and I recently sold our family home, using Lauren and her amazing team at Mcgrath in Avalon. Thanks to her insight, advice and wisdom, we were able to achieve a great result with our sale and felt incredibly well looked after right throughout our campaign.

Our first sale

Our first sale

After meeting with most of the agents in the area, we are really happy we chose James. In an industry with questionable agents, I cannot fault James - he was genuine and honest from beginning to end. Our sale was also particularly sensitive, and again, James was fantastic. Highly recommend James and I'll certainly be using him again.

Lauren was the selling agent on several properties I viewed and importantly the one I bought!

I found Lauren such a pleasure to deal with throughout this whole process. She is knowledgable about the area and the market, and clearly passionate about property. She is extremely personable and responsive and has gone above and beyond to meet our needs as well as those of the seller. Can't wait to move in!

Getting a great sale over the line

James did all that was necessary to get us the sale we needed. We quickly learned what was going on in the local market, and from then on we were able to make the right choices with regard to buyers and offers. We ended selling 3 days prior to an auction and got a great result with minimum stress.

Wonderful agent with great local knowledge.

Thorough knowledge of the Avalon market which provided us with essential information to make an informed decision when purchasing our property. Lyndall had a good understanding of what our family was looking for and was helpful in assuring our new home met our needs. Lyndall was very warm and friendly and no question or request was too much. Highly recommend Lyndall's services!!

Buying (and previously selling) our home

James is always approachable and candid with his advice, ensuring a clear understanding of the competitive situation. And was happy to spend as much time as we needed to be in the best position to secure our new home. It's been a long process for us finding the right property and James has always provided us with market updates and advice proactively. We're delighted to have been able to eventually buy from James.
