Simply the best!

James and the team at McGrath Avalon managed the recent sale of our home in Newport. In short, the experience was exceptional. James is a very genuine person and an absolute gentleman to deal with. He is transparent in all communications, authentic and ethical in all actions. Both James and Lauren worked seamlessly and tirelessly throughout the campaign and were always available to advise and support us. Definitely the A-Team! The exceptional result achieved validated the true value in using the best agent on the Northern Beaches.

My wife and I sold our property, and purchased our next property with James. We found him to show a a tonne of integrity and honesty the whole way through both transactions and we would recommend him for any seller or buyer.

Very professional to deal with.

James has a good understanding of the current Market with an appraisal of where the property ‘sits’ in relation to similar properties sold. He is very patient and a pleasure to deal with.

Highly recommend

James Baker and the team at McGrath Avalon came to us highly recommended. From the outset James gave us a good amount of time, providing valuable information, considered advice, and strategic planning in regard to the sale of our house. He clearly knows the local area and market well. He and his team proved most efficient, always promptly returning calls and providing ongoing thorough feedback as well as practical support. Lyndall and Lauren, who worked alongside James, were always friendly and willing to help, tirelessly hardworking, organized, and punctual. James is a very dedicated professional who takes a lot of pride in his work. His open warm manner and careful plans kept us comfortable that we would reach a good result. He has a wonderful genuine way with people and clearly loves and is very committed to his job. He is confident, and at the same time respectful of all parties. He is a great negotiator and remains calm and responsive as events unfold, totally committed to ensuring the best possible result for all involved. It’s a pleasure to deal with James and I would not hesitate to recommend him.
