EXCEPTIONAL

From inception to completion James’s professionalism, integrity, extensive knowledge and empathic approach to the whole process - we could not fault. It is not hard to see why James is one of the top ranking agents in the country! James also surrounds himself with an exceptional team – Lyndall Barry & Natalie Jones. We were thrilled with the outcome!

Great leadership role

Great leadership role

This is the 2nd property that James has navigated the sale for me. His advice was always honest and sound that in the end resulted in a sale even in the very difficult times we are currently experiencing. You and Lauren make a great team and I would highly recommend you to anyone considering selling their home. Thank you James.

When Experience Counts

When Experience Counts

In a world where real estate agents over promise and then usually under deliver, James Baker is the exception to the rule. James and his wonderful team recently sold our property for a price above his guide and in less than 11 days. It was a very enjoyable experience and we cannot recommend James highly enough."

Highly engaging and professional team led superbly by James Baker

From the moment we met James and Sam we instantly knew that they were the right people for the job. Hugely professional and engaging they clearly understood our drivers and creating a successful auction campaign. The manner and personable approach were the main reason we secured the right buyer for our property. I would highly recommend using James, Sam and the whole McGrath Avalon team. Thanks richard

Selling our beach house on the Northern Beaces

Selling our beach house on the Northern Beaces

We have known James for a number of years as we have bought 2 houses from him in the Northern Beaches. We have always found him to be the utmost professional when dealing with the serious side of real estate but also probably the most honest and down to earth. It has been a pleasure to have James and his team of Natalie and Lauren help us find the right buyer.

Our first sale

Our first sale

After meeting with most of the agents in the area, we are really happy we chose James. In an industry with questionable agents, I cannot fault James - he was genuine and honest from beginning to end. Our sale was also particularly sensitive, and again, James was fantastic. Highly recommend James and I'll certainly be using him again.

Getting a great sale over the line

James did all that was necessary to get us the sale we needed. We quickly learned what was going on in the local market, and from then on we were able to make the right choices with regard to buyers and offers. We ended selling 3 days prior to an auction and got a great result with minimum stress.

Buying (and previously selling) our home

James is always approachable and candid with his advice, ensuring a clear understanding of the competitive situation. And was happy to spend as much time as we needed to be in the best position to secure our new home. It's been a long process for us finding the right property and James has always provided us with market updates and advice proactively. We're delighted to have been able to eventually buy from James.

James efforts and professionalism was reflected in the great result

James was very professional on all matters relating to the sale which made me feel my property was in good hands throughout the auction process. We were update regularly with progress and advised on critical feedback from potential buyers to help with values. He also made additional efforts by turning up early and attending to any cleaning of the house or pool which showed his commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. I would not hesitate to advise my family and friends to use James and his team.
