I found dealing with Ian very easy. He was helpful and supportive, kept me informed on a regular basis. He has a good knowledge of the area, and was helpful with advice and support with a good sense of humour. I always felt engaged and confident that a good price for the house would occur and never felt uneasy. I think the planning and publicity was very well organised and professional, and this was shown in well attended open days and the actual Auction day saw good crowds.I would recommend Ian and McGrath Real Estate to anyone, and would certainly use there services again

Ian lives locally, his knowledge of the area and its market is excellent. He is fun to work with, he was doing great in calming my nerves during the selling process. With Aaron as the Auctioneer, Allens (now McGrath) team successfully sold out house well above our reserved price. We are very happy. Thanks, Ian.

A first class experience !!. Beyond expectations !!

I have undertaken this review based on the combined team of Elliott and Ian. We were selling the family home. Our parents originally bought the land and built on the property and we grew up in the property. Thus the decision to sell had a degree of emotional attachment. McGrath's were very empathetic to the situation and provided valuable upfront advice on preparing the property for sale, likely market, and purchasers. The marketing strategy was also deliberately pitched and targeted with the view of maximising a result on the day of the auction. Throughout the marketing campaign we were kept regularly up to date and throughout the process we felt like McGrath's were working for us, enabling us to think through and discuss specific situations. There also appeared to be disciplined follow up with potential purchases as there were numerous parties interests including multiple bidders on the day of the auction. The auction day strategy was well thought through by McGrath's albeit it was only after the event that the relevance / understanding of the strategy became apparent. An aspect relating to certain bidders. An aspect we saw first hand again when friends of our auctioned their property in the same area. Overall there was genuine service and consideration for the client shown throughout and I am sure that assisted with the successful result achieved and a very positive client experience. We would use McGrath's again and would recommend them to any potential selling vendor.

Thanks to Ian van Eijk and the team at Allens/McGrath. Even with the branding changes things went smooth throughout the entire campaign producing a great result for my family. Thanks again Ian and team

Thank you Ian from Allens Real Estate for finally selling our unit. We were always kept informed with any updates of the unit during the whole marketing campaign. We were impressed with Ian's positivity and enthusiasm in his professional work.

I met Ian when I purchased 45 Boardman Close, Box HIll South and there was never any doubt about who we would contact when the decision came to sell it 6 years later. Ian knows the local area inside out and is always available to answer any question and offer any advice. Ian's communication is outstanding and we always had confidence in him and the campaign every step of the way because we were always informed as to what was happening. We cannot recommend Ian highly enough for his professionalism, caring nature, and enthusiasm in helping you achieve the best outcome in what can be a very stressful and emotional time. We will always recommend Ian to friends and family who are looking to buy or sell in the area as there is no one who knows the local market better than he does, and certainly nobody that can do it better in our opinion.

Ian sold my late Mothers house several years ago and now has sold my home in Blackburn with the support of a great team from Allens Real Estate. I highly recommend and would be more than happy to use Ian again for the third time. Ian is caring, honest, fun loving, punctual and polite and has a great process to obtain a great result. Many thanks to Grant for his Auction and Elliot for his efforts.

Ian is an excellent communicator with attention to detail. He knows the local market and sets expections from the first meeting. Our campaign was smooth and resulted in satisfied vendors. Thank you, Ian!

Ian van Eijk has been a delight to work with. Knowledgeable, engaging, efficient. Imparts his wealth of expertise in a way that makes the experience less stressful and if i may suggest enjoyable. Thank you Ian you were part of the family during this process. Yin Yin and yourself did an amazing job in getting well and above our expectations in the final result. Many thanks also to Grant Lynch for your fabulous auctioneering skills.

I would highly recommend Ian and the team at Allens Real Estate. Acting on behalf of my Uncle, Ian was very compassionate and sensitive to my families requirements and achieved an excellent result. His knowledge of the local market was excellent and he offered very good advice when it came to auction time. Thanks Ian.

Working with Ian on the sale of my home was a pleasure. Ian worked with me in a collaborative and consultative manner throughout the process. He was able to recommend a number of other businesses that I could work with on the process such as the stylist and the conveyancer. Where our views on approach differed we were able to discuss the pro's and con's of each solution and this gave me the information that I needed to make an informed decision. Selling the family home is an extremely stressful thing to do, but Ian took the stress away and I still can't believe just how easy it was and this is all due to Ian's attention to detail, industry knowledge and professionalism. I would not hesitate to recommend Ian and to work with Ian again.
