We had a fantastic experience.

We had a fantastic experience.

We had a fantastic experience working with David and his team from McGrath. From start to finish, they were incredibly professional and kept us informed every step of the way. Their communication was clear and timely, which made the entire process stress free. Thanks to their expertise, we were able to secure a sale well above the reserve price also. Highly recommend!

We couldn’t recommend David (and Candice) highly enough. They provided constant feedback after every inspection and won’t above and beyond to secure the sale of our property. We are very grateful for the service we were provided.

David's knowledge of the local market was exceptional. He was honest about how to prepare our property for sale to achieve the best outcome and prepared a campaign plan that considered a variety of marketing channels and tactics to achieve a wide reach of prospective buyers. His communication throughout the campaign meant that we had a clear understanding of our buyer pool come auction day. His experience as an auctioneer gave us the best possible result on the day.
