What a legend!

What a legend!

We have bought and sold in Avalon a few times and I try my absolute hardest to do it all with James. You want a bloke who’s straight then you can’t do better than James and his team. If you want to know what he’s like as a bloke just ask the happy bunch who work with him. They’re lovely.

James, Lauren, Lyndall and the rest of the team at McGrath Avalon were all a pleasure to deal with, offering honest market information and transparent negotiations resulting in satisfied Vendors and Purchasers. Thankyou and well done. Andrew Newport.

12 Tasman Road, North Avalon

James was our 1st and only choice of agent for the sale of my property! Aside from having immeasurable knowledge and skills within the real estate industry, James is just a really decent guy with a unique ability to relate and communicate in a very genuine manor to not only us, but everybody who has met him. His communication and passion for what he does goes above and beyond. We loved how he also listened to our ideas and thoughts the whole way through the selling process, we never felt alienated or that we couldn’t express ourselves Anybody thinking of selling around the Avalon area and surrounding suburbs SERIOUSLY needs to talk to James and his team before looking elsewhere. Dream team!

Professional all the way

Professional all the way

I got to know James Baker over eight years, as we tentatively put our property on the market, changed our minds, tested the market, withdrew the property, wanted to sell it, didn't want to sell it. James waited patiently and in 2019 we got serious about selling. By then James had become a principal in a different real estate business; we followed him to that business. Three months after listing we sold, at a very fair price. James gave us good, sensible advice and was always a pleasure to deal with. I thoroughly recommend him, especially if, like me, you sell a property just a few times in your life and acknowledge that you therefore cannot genuinely claim expertise. In my experience, James will steer you in the right direction.

James is an experienced and professional agent who kept us well informed throughout the process. He was honest, direct and calm and made the whole process a positive one. It is a stressful process and he helped make it less so. Would highly recommend.

James gave my husband and I confidence throughout the sales process. He is very knowledgeable and caring and I love that he isn't just here for the sale but beyond that, helping with the new purchase. He and his team work tirelessly to bring the best results, always staying across interested parties and updating us consistently along the way. I would have no hesitation recommending James and the McGrath Avalon team to anyone looking to sell their property.

A totally professional approach

James handled the entire campaign with the utmost professionalism. He demonstrated an in depth knowledge of the local market and, as a result, was able to offer accurate, informed advice to both me and potential purchasers. He also kept me regularly informed with updates throughout the process and approached the project in a way that exuded confidence and trust. This,I am sure, made a significant contribution to the successful outcome that was achieved.

Integrity, professionalism, excellent Real Estate Agent

James’s professionalism, market knowledge and negotiation skills were second to none. In what was a very tough market James was able to sell my home in just four weeks. James displayed honesty, integrity and kindness throughout the sale campaign and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending James from McGrath Avalon in taking care of all of your property needs.
