21 Marine Pde Avalon Beach

Our experience with James Baker and his team at McGrath was excellent from start to finish. They were approachable, supportive, and always available to answer questions. Communication was clear and timely throughout the entire process, and everything was handled professionally. Their market knowledge and attention to detail made the transaction smooth and stress-free. The whole process felt easy and well managed, and we genuinely felt looked after. Highly recommend James Baker and the McGrath team.

Knowledgeable, considered and capable agent

James expertly guided us through our campaign and managed our expectations in a fairly soft market. At all times communication was clear & concise. His transparency and integrity were paramount. James is a well considered, well informed and capable agent. McGrath marketing materials were excellent. Lyndall Barry - who assisted on the campaign and the team at McGrath were all very responsive and respectful. Many thanks to the team and all involved in the process!

Great experience, great result!

Great experience, great result!

We built our family home in Avalon a little over twenty years ago and approached selling it with great trepidation. Both financially and emotionally, we were so invested in the property that we found the prospect daunting. So, it was a great relief to appoint James and his team at McGrath to take control of the process. In a less than energetic market, they found a continuous stream of people to visit on open days and eventually secured a buyer who really loves the house and location. It was a win-win outcome for both ourselves and the new owners. James and Lyndall appreciate the stresses and uncertainties that occur during a lengthy campaign and they managed our expectations by keeping us constantly informed of the progress they were making. They were always available and always helpful. We chose James and McGrath as they have the best reputation and track record for selling premium properties on the Northern Beaches. In our experience, they've earned that reputation and we couldn't recommend them more highly.

Excellent experience with James and the team. Faultless professionalism throughout the sales process by everyone from start to finish. James demonstrates a high level of professional expertise and is a skilled negotiator. He was fully involved and present throughout the entire duration of the campaign. I would happily work with James and the McGrath team again and would not hesitate to recommend their service.

Professional and Transparent

With his track record for selling premium Clareville properties, James and his team were the obvious choice to market our treasured family home of 30 years on Taylor's Point. James devised a clear strategy and saw it through from start to finish, achieving a great result. James was always professional and transparent, providing honest straightforward advice and displaying deep market knowledge. Thanks to James, Adrian, Lyndall and the whole team for your marvellous efforts. Highly recommend.

The A Team !

The A Team !

James’ knowledge of the Avalon market combined with his calm, genuine manner made us feel we had put our Avalon home in the right hands from the outset of our 4 week campaign. It sold before auction for above our reserve despite a relatively flat market, and we were very happy. James kept us informed and reassured us when an interested party or two fell through and he certainly came through with the goods. He and Lauren are the A Team! We’d definitely recommend them.

Excellent knowledge of the local property market

James was excellent from start to finish. He had excellent knowledge of the local property market and was very transparent throughout the process. Selling a house can be a stressful thing but James made the process easy. I'd highly recommend James if you want an honest, real estate agent who gets results.

We had the pleasure of working with James and his team during the sale of our property and we couldn't be more impressed. From the outset, James demonstrated exceptional professionalism, clear communication and a strategic approach to marketing our home. We undertook significant renovations without a hitch thanks to the expert advice and multiple trade contacts provided by the McGrath team. We highly recommend James to anyone seeking a dedicated, knowledgeable and results-driven professional.
