Professional and Efficient

I recently sold my house in Rozelle with Gerard McCarthy of McCarthy Estate Agents as my agent. I was very happy with all aspects of the marketing of my property. Communication was excellent with frequent updates and conversations regarding progress of the sale. Gerard and the office staff were professional and efficient, prompt in responding to queries and always pleasant. It was a difficult market at the time of my sale, with some difficult issues arising but I am very satisfied with the end result of the sale.

A great Experience Buying Our Place

We had a great experience buying our place. Gerard was helpful in clarifying all of our questions with regards to the purchase of our property. He was very responsive to all our concerns and overall he really helped us with the purchase process.

A Smooth Sale and a Fantastic Result!

Gerard has set a high bar. From the beginning of the campaign he displayed a genuine desire to achieve the best possible result for me, demonstrating empathy and understanding when challenges presented themselves. Coupled with excellent negotiation and communication skills, Gerard maintained a steely focus that lead to a smooth sale and a fantastic result in an uncertain market. I highly recommend selling through McCarthy Estate Agents!

Definitely Above and Beyond!

“ Gerard and his team have been fantastic with the sale of our home. Teneale had been managing the rental side of it for us for two years, very successfully and with very happy tenants for that entire period. McCarthy’s were also very professional, responsible, and courteous to all parties when we chose to sell which made it a pleasant and efficient experience for us all. We realised that we needed to do a bit to the house to prepare it for the best sale. Gerard was amazing in the way he advised us, was incredibly hands on, and helped coordinate so many of the trades and services in getting our house ready for the sale. This was not what we expected and was definitely above and beyond, this is not the norm! This took the place of a project manager in most circumstances! The personal service, advice, responsiveness (Gerard was incredibly accessible, and the rare occasions he didn’t answer he called back within an hour every time), coordination, marketing, and price, was all way beyond what we could have expected and paid for. Gerard and his team did such a great job, our house ended up being sold from the first open house and for the price we wanted, to a lovely couple. It was a win win for everyone! We can highly recommend McCarthy’s if you are considering selling your home, or need a managing agent for the rental side of it. Say hi to Ruby (the cute doggy!) when you’re in the office too! Give them a go, you’ll be so happy you did!! Everything we’ve written above we truly mean, thank you thank you thank you!"

The most important feeling between a real estate agent and a potential buyer is trust.

I would be honoured for having this opportunity. My first impression of Gerard when I met him on site of the property, is that he is a soft-spoken well-dressed gentleman. His presence made my first visit comfortable. This might be the reason that I started having an affection towards this property. The most important feeling between a real estate agent and a potential buyer is trust. I am very lucky that I feel that I can trust Gerard! He gives honest opinions and his expertise constructive advise. Because he is an old school gentleman, he is patient and calm when things got tricky or bumpy (guaranty happens when purchasing properties). And last but not least, Shinai, who works behind the scene , has been very helpful too! Can’t do without her! I wish the whole team of McCarthy well! And best luck to a smooth settlement on Feb 2019!

You communicated with me clearly and professionally at all times.

Dear Gerard I appreciate the effort you made to market my Lilyfield property, which at times was a real challenge due to the heavy rain weather and the volatIlity in the Sydney housing market. You communicated with me clearly and professionally at all times. Thank you. I will have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone looking for a honest agent willing to go the extra mile.

We have dealt with many agents and have never encountered anyone like him.

Gerard is the ultimate real estate agent. We have dealt with many agents and have never encountered anyone like him. He provides honest straight forward advice on presentation of the property and the sale process. He is never pushy and always has time to discuss issues thoroughly either at home or on the phone. We called Gerard several years ago for his assessment of the property and valuation. We were not intending to sell at the time but we needed to prepare for the time when we were ready to move. He would call periodically to see how we were going. When we decided it was time to sell Gerard & his team swung into action and set out a program to auction the house. After two open days he negotiated a very reasonable offer which we accepted. Remarkable! Thank you Gerard Warwick Wright & Anita Rose Rozelle

I only wish I had another property to sell!

I've recently sold my property at 19 May Street Lilyfiled through Gerard McCarthy Real Estate. Gerard and his team were brilliant from day one. Communication was first rate, suggestions on how to improve the property prior to sale were spot on. The property looked immaculate for the open homes. Gerard made a point of providing feedback after each of the open homes which made the process so much easier. The final sales price exceeded our expectations, which was largely down to Gerard's ability to assess the market and negotiate the best possible outcome for his client. I only wish I had another property to sell! Thank you once again Gerard McCarthy and Team! Stuart & Sarah

Very Professional Agent

Gerard was a fully professional agent who knows the market. Was able to sell the house before auction for a price in excess of the reserve price. Kept us informed of all dealings and was prompt and attentive in all the proceedings. Would definitely use Gerard again if the circumstances arise.

If you are looking for an honest agent willing to go the extra mile - look no further.

It is with pleasure I write this reference for Gerard McCarthy and his Real Estate Agency situated at Level 1/695 Darling Street, Rozelle, NSW 2039. I have known Gerard since early 2000, where I have used him for my real estate needs. He has sold properties for me in the inner west including Annandale, Stanmore and recently at Camperdown. He has also advised me on buying real estate, and has provided me with excellent rental services during these past eighteen (18) years. I have been extremely pleased in the manner in which Gerard and his staff have sold my properties. At my recent sale at 26 Pidcock Street, Camperdown, for example, not only did his agency receive a good result for me but answered all my questions promptly and honestly, which allowed me to trust him throughout the selling process. The communication received from his staff was also efficient, effective and superb. I would not hesitate in recommending Gerard McCarthy Estate Agents services. If you are looking for an honest agent willing to go the extra mile - look no further. l would be only too happy to provide further referee details when required. Yours faithfully, Garry Long AM
