We have just exchanged contracts on our beach house in Clareville. James knowledge and experience was invaluable and throughout the entire campaign James was there for us day and night ready with excellent advice.Thanks to James we achieved a sale at a price we had hoped for. We would really recommend you ask James at McGrath to assist if you are looking for an honest and professional real estate agent on the Northern Beaches.

James and Lyndall from McGrath Pittwater provided exceptional service throughout the sale of our property in Avalon Beach. They took time to clearly explain the process from start to finish, provided excellent guidance and in the end delivered a result that was well above our expectations. They were at all times professional, punctual and easy to deal with. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

James and Katrina, Thank you very much for such a seamless and quick sale. This is my 5th property to sell and this has been the best experience by far!! Most highly professional individuals and team that I have ever experienced. Greatly appreciate your professionalism. Thank you again.

McGrath Pittwater is an excellent agency to deal with. Great local knowledge and market insight, sound selling advice and good communications. James is the consummate professional.

James successfully negotiated the purchase of our new property. We found our experience with James very open and transparent and that he was able to respect both the vendor and purchasers interests. As a vendor first selling through McGrath Pittwater then buying with them in the same suburb, we felt very supported by the principals, agents and support team to help us achieve our goals. Highly recommend McGrath Pittwater

I have bought and sold though James for many years now. On every occasion he has proven to be professional, friendly and honest in his opinion. He really knows the market and has always achieved excellent results for me. Cheers James

It has been wonderful dealing with James and his team at McGrath Avalon. An all round nice guy, James' communication skills and knowledge of the local market, along with his willingness to work with his vendors is second to none and brought about a result we could not have imagined. Given these hard times in lockdown, James and his team coordinated enquiries, one-on-one inspections and negotiations smoothly and skilfully, bringing the campaign to an outstanding auction outcome.

James has an in depth knowledge of the area, and he used this to help us to clearly quantify what we were looking for based on current market data and projections. He took us through step by step the process and managed our expectations at each point. It is obvious from our experience with James that he loves doing what he does and that he gets satisfaction from getting great outcomes for buyers and sellers alike. From our perspective, he exceeded - not only in the outcome, but in the experience. I cannot recommend James (and his team) highly enough.

We knew from the beginning that we were in good hands with James and we were impressed with his knowledge of the housing market. He was at all times professional, understanding of our situation and kept us up to date with the progress of our property. I would recommend James Baker, his team at McGrath Avalon to anyone wishing to sell their house.

James Baker was recommended by friends and we will also be recommending him and his team. Selling in a lockdown was not how we imagined we would ever have sold and came with few hurdles. James has the skills and experience to handle the ever changing environment. He is very professional and is a very calm and clear thinker. He knows the area inside out and always gave us all the time we needed and explained everything so thoroughly with us. He is the complete package! Close to 20 years in our home, we feel so lucky that we chose James to be our Sales Agent!

What impressed us from the beginning about James is that he is very strategic and analytical in the way he approached marketing and selling our property. He runs a very professional operation with an excellent team that ensures everything runs smoothly and effectively. James has a wonderful way with people and is extremely personable and tenacious without being overwhelming. James did an outstanding job selling our property and was a pleasure to work with. After buying and selling 11 homes I can honestly say that James is one of the very best agents I’ve worked with and I have no reservations in recommending him highly.

Having known James for several years, including as the selling agent for our previous home in Avalon Beach, we already held him in very high regard. When we were ready to buy, we were confident that he understood our wishlist for our new home, and knew this lovely property would tick nearly all of our boxes. He patiently showed us through it three times under COVID-safe conditions. James and his colleague Lauren Garner were friendly, approachable, answered our queries, and kept us updated as the sales campaign progressed. Sales negotiations were professional, honest and open. James does not play games, he isn't pushy, but he is strategic and focused on getting the deal done, and achieving the best outcome for both buyer and vendor. He calmly steered the sale, and we were thrilled to secure such a special home after a long search, and in difficult conditions during lockdown. We highly recommend James to any future buyers, and sellers!
