An agent who inspires confidence

I needed an agent to help me sell my former home, now tenanted, in North Balgowlah. I now live in Queensland so I needed to be confident that my agent would be working hard for me even though I was not on the ground locally. I contacted six agents before selecting Ian Fox at McGrath. I was impressed at how much Ian knew, and advised me, about my property, even before he was appointed. He suggested a likely - and realistic - sale price range and delivered an outcome at the top of that range. Ian, and his wife, Elizabeth, kept me fully informed throughout the pre-auction process (even while I was overseas for a couple of weeks). I was absolutely impressed by the quality of promotional material. Ian and Elizabeth went the extra mile to make sure that everyone involved (me as the vendor, prospective buyers, tenants and neighbours) was comfortable with the process. The arrangements for the auction were just perfect. After sale follow up has also been very much appreciated. Thank you Ian and Elizabeth Fox at McGrath for a job well done.

Great agent

Ian is a professional agent. He has a great personality and can always help me to fully understand the property I intend to buy. I will highly recomend him as a agent to sell your property.

Outstanding

Ian and Elizabeth worked tirelessly to maximise the value of our property. Notwithstanding the Xmas period our agents worked through the holidays exploring overseas interest via the excellent McGrath buyer network. It transpired that they had 10 private showings in as many days and negotiated hard in our best interest. I would recommend the outstanding husband and wife team of Ian and Elizabeth Fox of McGrath Seaforth
