Over the past 10 years we have been involved in 6 real estate transactions in Byron Bay, both buying and selling. For all of these transactions we have worked with Ian Daniels. Our first contact with Ian was as a buyer in 2004. We found him to be understanding of our needs, responsive and professional. As a result of this, we decided to use him when we listed our properties for sale. There are many real estate agents servicing Byron Bay, all of them offering essentially the same service. The reasons why we continue to deal exclusively with Ian when we need to sell a property are as follows: • Ian is dedicated to getting a result and we feel that he is always proactive in doing whatever he can to find buyers for our property rather than waiting for the phone to ring or an email to come in. • He always follows up and provides feedback. • He understands the different types of buyers that come to Byron Bay and how to deal with them. • He fully understands the Byron Bay market and has extensive personal contacts. • He is honest with his appraisal of the market and the value of the property we are selling. He does not set false expectations. • He is always prepared to do that little bit extra, even if it is outside the normal job of a real estate agent. As buyers in the Byron Shire, we have dealt with many agents and always ask ourselves if we would use any of those agents to sell our property. The answer is always no as we have yet to meet anyone who we feel would do a better job than Ian. We are happy to recommend Ian to anyone who is thinking of listing their property for sale.

It's important to me to feel like an agent is honest with me the whole time. The property market is already testing & to have an agent tell you how it is straight down the line, makes it all that little less stressful. This is Ian's best quality. I asked for an honest answer & he always gave me one. This ultimately was a big part in sealing the deal! Thanks Ian!

I can recommend Ian. He knows the market, and is prepared to go the extra mile for buyer and seller

Ian showed patience in helping us reach a deal for the purchase of our property in Byron and he is highly recommended by us to buyers and sellers alike.

When the time came to sell my townhouse I didn't want to go with one of the big 'number crunching' agencies in Byron. And in fact had my eye on a smaller firm. But as fate would have it as I left my bank I noticed the McGrath office next door. Thinking 'what the heck' I went in to just get an opinion and within half an hour l knew I'd found the people l wanted to work with, namely Ian Daniels and Nick Dunn. The rest, as they say, is history. From that first meeting Ian (who took over the sales process) couldn't do enough. He was absolutely brilliant to work with. Despite having an unfounded bias towards not going to auction, the solid reasons Ian gave me saw me change my mind and list my place for auction. From then on Ian was in constant contact with updates and suggestions. I received the first pre auction offer fairly quickly then others followed. At times I felt a bit panicky and thought of accepting an offer, but Ian was my 'rock' and guided me based on his extensive experience. Long story short I not only sold my townhouse prior to auction but it sold for nearly double the price any other townhouse in my complex had ever sold for. And that was not in a booming market. Yes, there was an element of 'luck' in the result but l can state with absolute conviction I know I would not have got my record price if it wasn't for Ian. So whether you're looking to buy or sell in Byron or the surrounding region then do yourself a favour and go see Ian and the team at McGraths Byron Bay. It'll be the smartest decision you make.

I have no reason to say what I have in the above except that it is based completely on facts and my complete gratitude and appreciation for what Ian, Nick and Heidi achieved for me. Thanks guys (and gal)

When I found the property I wanted to move to Ian set a strategy that enabled me to sell my home and move straight into my new one. Although I was sceptical of the Auction process at first Ian explained to me how it would accelerate my campaign and help me achieve a higher price. I was very happy with the attention to detail with the photo shoot and how my home was represented. We sold before Auction for a great price. I am now enjoying my new home thanks Ian. Oliver.

Dear Ian, We are writing to thank you for the excellent result you achieved at the recent auction sale of our house. This followed two unsuccessful campaigns, one through our own efforts, over the past year. We were pleasantly surprised that after appointing you as our agent the property was sold in just five weeks; without any hassles, unconditionally, above our reserve, and at the top end of your original price guide. One important factor contributing to this outcome was your agency’s ability to attract prospects from Sydney and Brisbane as well as locally. Another was the team effort from McGrath Byron Bay; Stuart, Heidi, and Nick all introduced potential buyers and the whole marketing process was professionally supported by Jacqueline and Amber-Lee. Ian, you were a pleasure to work with and we think that your open easy-going nature instils confidence and trust in both buyers and sellers. We recommend you and the McGrath Byron Bay team to anyone wishing to sell their property. Yours sincerely, Sandie & Greg Duggan.

We purchased a Property through Ian Daniels of McGrath Byron Bay in September 2014. We have had property dealings with many Real Estate agents over the years with some good & some not so good experiences. We are pleased to say that this purchase through Ian has been one of the better experiences. He was extremely helpful with all of our Questions which gave us the knowledge & confidants to proceed with the purchase of our property. We would not hesitate to recommend Ian to any person thinking of buying & selling.

Ian Daniels has been my agent for 10 years. I have made multiple house purchases and sales through him. Every one has been conducted completely to my satisfaction. I fully recommend him and his team.

We have found Ian to be very professional and I would not hesitate to recommend him if you are thinking about selling and/or buying a house
