No question that purchasing your first home is an incredibly stressful experience. Craig and Cayle made the process so much better with open and transparent communication. Craig and Cayle were a breath of fresh air to deal with, they completely broke the mold of the stereotypical real estate agent and we couldn't be happier. Thank you! We love our new home and we couldn't have done it without you!

Choosing an agent was something I put a lot of thought into, and I phoned around and spoke to various agents in the area, always asking for the most experienced of the agents. Even though we had been using McGrath Wilston as our rental agents didn't mean I was committed to using them as our sales agent. However, from my first meeting with Craig, my impression was "he could sell ME a house!" His knowledge, his confidence, his warm personality and his diligence around communication is truly outstanding. Craig has now sold two properties for us, and out of all the property sales we've done in the past with other agents in various states of Australia, his service has been "above and beyond". What most impressed me was that he was genuinely on our side, working for the best price for us. I've had other agents that simply wanted the sale to go through with the least effort, and have worked to get us "down" in our expectations and result and to get the buyers "up". Craig gave a completely different experience. His guidance to us throughout the sales process has been always towards achieving the best outcome for US, and in both of the sales we achieved exactly the sales range that Craig had predicted we would, which was in fact significantly higher than we had originally expected in both cases. It gave me a lot of confidence in Craig to know that he wasn't like many other agents, inflating the anticipated sales figures, only to disappoint us in the final run and have us then end up with a reality-check. Instead he told us the truth of what he expected, and he fully delivered on that. If I was selling another home in this area, there would be no question for me - Craig would be my choice every time.

We met Craig a few years ago when he did an appraisal at our house. He kept in close contact with us from then on, always keeping us up to date with sales results of any homes that were comparable to ours and how they might have an impact on the value of our home. When we decided to sell we chose Craig as he had shown us over this period to have excellent knowledge of the local area and always made himself available to us whenever we had any questions. Throughout the sale process Craig ran an excellent campaign and kept us well-informed every step of the way. He and Annamarie did a wonderful job and their hard work and professionalism translated into a result we were very happy with. We would both highly recommend Craig and wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again in future.

What I particularly appreciate is that Craig quickly understands the peculiarities (I use that word deliberately) of his clients and tailors his approach and advice accordingly. It was painless - for us. Maybe not for him. We have recommended Craig to friends who have also been very happy with the outcome and will continue to recommend him to anyone looking for an honest and respectful agent with integrity

I'd recommend Craig as a preferred Estate Agent for anyone selling a property who wants someone who is truely dedicated to their business of selling your your property. I relied on Craig for everything as I had already moved interstate and had left the task of selling my property as quickly as possible (with the least amount of hassle) to Craig. In a busy Brisbane apartment/townhouse market this was a big ask. Craig touched bases with me each week and gave me realistic feedback on the progress the sale. And the delivered a great result.

Selling a house for the first time was meant to be a stressful process. Upon meeting Craig at our appraisal, he immediately put us at ease, communicating the process, providing a transparent and extremely competitive cost breakdown and ‘en pointe’ advice regarding the small improvements we were looking to undertake prior to putting our home on the market. Craig personally project managed these improvements, sourcing quality and cost-effective solutions for our requirements. Craig’s knowledge of the area, the market and his instant connection with our needs, coupled with his efficiency and attention to detail (wonderful follow-up and consistent, yet unobtrusive updates), were attributes mirrored by his McGrath Wilston team. When auction day arrived, this all culminated in an outstanding result for us (and the area). Nil stress, just flawless service and a great outcome!

My confidence in Craig grew with every dealing I had with him. His integrity and professionalism was evident at all times and selling my property from a distance made these qualities even more important. He gave me an honest assessment of price, carefully managed my expectations and achieved a great outcome for me. Craig comes highly recommended.

It is our pleasure to submit this 100% positive Agent review for Craig Lea relating to the recent sale our home in the suburb of Grange Qld. Craig and his team achieved a fantastic sales result. For over 6 years we have enjoyed a professional association with his team both through the expert property management services we enjoyed and throughout the recent successful sales campaign of our home. Notably during this entire period we resided interstate and despite this distance between us, he and the team performed remarkably always keeping us informed of every event. The sale ran extremely smoothly. His team performed additional work keeping the home in pristine order in our absence which gave us that extra sense of confidence. We easily dealt with tight negotiation timeframes to secure our mutually agreeable sale price. It all flowed, nothing was a problem. It has been a pleasure for my wife and I, and I have no hesitation in recommending Craig Lea and the team to anyone who needs the services of a real estate agent in Brisbane region. Kind regards, Col & Toni

Craig was great to work with, and got a top sale price on the property in quick time.

When deciding to list our home we had spoken to some good agents in the area and some presented well but then others fed us misinformation from the start and focused on bagging out other agents. When I met with Craig and Garry it was all about our home, the process and explaining to us what they could do for us. They gave us very honest and knowledgeable information about the market in the area and their original appraisal was almost spot compared to what we sold it for. We ended up selling for a good price to an interstate buyer and I could not recommend them highly enough to anyone who wants to attract a broad range of buyers and drive competition between buyers!

The McGrath team led by Craig, presented, from the first engagement on the sale of our property, as professional, interested, and committed to achieving the best possible result for ourselves as their clients. We have no hesitation in recommending the team for any real estate transaction.

I asked Craig to faciliate the sale of my property in Teneriffe when I was hoping to move on with my life elsewhere. With Craig's true professionalism and clear communication, this meant that I actually felt relaxed and confident all the way through the process. Craig always kept me up to date with developments and options, including the relief of the final offer, and being surrounded by a team of professionals this also helped considerably - the photography and write up of my place all made a difference. I would definitely recommend him to others interested in selling with confidence.
