Without equivocation, James is the best in the business!! Honest, hardworking, expert local knowledge and gets the best results for buyers and sellers. A true professional in every sense and a pleasure to deal with. James will go above and beyond. We strongly recommend James Baker and the McGrath team.
James was wonderful to work with in every way, a consummate professional! Furthermore he is supported by a great team at McGrath Pittwater, noteworthy names here are Lauren Garner & Katrina Crawford. We can’t recommend them high enough, they’re simply that good!
Having known James for some years I engaged him to sell my property in Avalon. He and his team are very professional and knowledgeable. They guided me through a highly stressful process calmly and very effectively. Excellent communication skills through out were vital to a great result. I highly recommend James and his team to anyone contemplating selling their property.
James and the team at McGrath Pittwater are professional and empathetic and made the sale of our family home less stressful than I had imagined. James and his team regularly communicated with us and were always available for any questions or concerns. They listen to us as vendors, put us first, and were very proactive during the sales process. Their knowledge of the local area supersedes most as does their database of prospective buyers. Our property was sold in a short amount of time for a street record, an outstanding result that can only be attributed to the professional and caring ethics of James and his team. I would not hesitate to recommend the services to anyone.
Both James and Lyndall were great to work with. They are professional, responsive and helpful in what can be a stressful period. They are both excellent communicators, are clearly passionate about their work and genuinely care about their clients.
We recently engaged McGrath Real Estate from Avalon to sell our Careel Bay home. James Baker and his team were absolutely fantastic in their attention to detail in helping us prepare for the sale and guiding us through the procedure.His assistant LyndaII Barry was an integral part of the very smooth programme that the company set for the selling of our home. James and lyndall were available at all times to answer questions that we had in relation to the programme and we were kept fully informed of all developments along the way. We have been and continue to be very satisfied with our choice of agency to sell our property and would highly recommend James Baker and his efficient team.
James was recommended to me by a friend who recommended him and his team. I will be forever grateful to her, as James achieved a sale for our property that was way beyond our expectations. We sold after the first viewing, having not even put our property officially on the market. The professionalism of the McGrath Pittwater team made the whole process so quick and easy, I still can't believe how little I had to do and how smoothly everything proceeded. The advice I received regarding the preparation of the house pre-sale (what to do and not do) was spot on. James himself was a delight to deal with, a lovely, warm gentleman whom I had total trust in. Highly recommended.
James’s knowledge and understanding of the real estate market really made a difference with the recent sale of our family home of 24 years. James was not only the consummate professional but he was also a very genuine person and this made it a pleasure to deal with him and the entire team at McGrath Pittwater during what is essentially a very stressful time. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and we hope the lovely family that have bought our house enjoy it as much as we have. We highly recommend James and the team at McGrath Pittwater if you are looking to sell or buy property in the local area.
James is an absolute pleasure to deal with. From start to finish, we received very valuable and considered advice. James has an intimate knowledge of the area / market trends and manages to convey it in a manner that someone who is less familiar, such as myself, could easily understand. We experienced exceptional service and would rate it six stars if possible. If you are looking for property on the Northern Beaches then your first call should be to James @ McGrath.
We have used James as the agent to both sell and buy property from overseas. This is not an easy task normally! But James and his team’s utter professionalism have made this a stress free experience each time. Most recently, to sell our property, they negotiated a price above our expectations and kept all parties aligned and happy throughout the process. They are experts in their field but also lovely to work with, taking calls late into the night (due to foreign time zones) with no complaint. They are truly exceptional and recommended highly.
James was excellent at the most important aspect of follow up and always kept in touch re progress. He also returned all phone calls promptly
We had always heard very positive feedback about James and the team at McGrath. We knew that they were always professional but James's calm and considered approach was the magic in the selling process. James will always provide you with an open and honest opinion at each stage. This helped with any stress especially as this was our first house sale in Australia. We would highly recommend James and his team. I would certainly choose them as an agent next time we sell because of the guidance and support they provided during the process.
