Selling our home in Box Hill, NSW, was a rollercoaster until we met Ben Davenport from McGrath. After two disastrous experiences with other agents—one where our expectations weren’t managed realistically and an auction day passed without a single bidder, and another with a so-called ‘top agent’ who was deceptive, unprofessional, and downright disrespectful—we were jaded and hesitant to try again. But Ben changed everything. From our first chat, he listened compassionately to our nightmare stories, promised to show us how it should be done, and delivered in spades. Ben is an absolute legend—professional yet genuinely warm, a real people’s person who makes you feel like you’re his only client. He took the time to truly understand our home and our situation, pricing it spot-on for the market without any dodgy tactics. We hit the market on 17 July, and by the first open home on 19 July, we had around 40 people through (about 15 groups!), with Ben chatting to every single one, sharing spot-on details about the property like he’d lived there himself. The next day brought another solid turnout, and by the following weekend on 26 July, he’d secured our buyer. His negotiation skills were top-notch; he locked in a fantastic price that suited the area and current conditions, and he even negotiated an early cooling-off period to make the sale unconditional promptly. We’re over the moon! What sets Ben apart is his integrity and heart—he’s not just in it for the sale; he cares about getting the best outcome for you. If you’re selling in Box Hill or the surrounding areas, do yourself a favour and call Ben Davenport at McGrath. He’s a ripper of an agent and an even better bloke. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough! Thanks, Ben, for turning our stress into success.

We engaged Ben to sell our beautiful home in the gables to follow through on a dream we had up north. Ben immersed himself into our journey and lives which helped him understand our day to day and future goals. This helped the experience become personable and smooth sailing from the start. Ben kept us informed throughout the whole process and did his best to accommodate our toddler - the most important person in all of this process. Ensuring she felt safe, apart of the journey and with minimal interruption to her day to day. This meant a lot to us. Once Ben secured an amazing offer for our home (very soon after going on the market) he celebrated with us and has been apart of the end process right up until settlement. Ben even went above and beyond in helping us secure our home to rent back during our new chapter of building our next home. We are so grateful to have met Ben and highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. Not to mention the reputable brand behind him being McGrath. Well done Ben and thank you very much.

Ben has been awesome during the entire process. Very professional and easy to deal with. Very switched on and a great work ethic.
