James Baker and Lyndall Barry

James and Lyndall our team from McGrath Avalon impressed us from the beginning. Very efficient and professional,communicated clearly what they could do for us and sold after a short campaign. They kept us up to date on developments, the video and sales programme excelled. We would happily recommend them to others considering selling on the Northern Beaches The Wilsons Careel Bay.......

Professional team

After our first meeting with James and Lauren we felt confident that they were the professional team we could entrust with selling our property. As a team they provided us with very comprehensive analysis and advice. The communication was excellent throughout the selling process and we were always kept well informed. Our input was listened to and discussed and we did not feel at any time in some way pressured. It was a pleasure working with James and Lauren, they managed our sale with transparency and great care. We had full trust in this professional team and most certainly will recommend this team to anyone who wanted to sell their property.

Knows the area like the back of his hand

James was extremely knowledgable with regards to the property market in the area. He could rattle off addresses and the sales process that accompanied them at the drop of a hat and really relate our home to the rest of the market. He has a calm but professional manner that instilled our trust. Thank you James for representing us and selling our beloved home.

My most valued and loved asset was being sold. Competition is healthy we interviewed three agents and chose McGrath Avalon. David and James attended at our property – we endorsed their selling strategy which precisely dealt with their key selling ideas. Digital marketing Best price Data Base We gave David and James open slather to go out and sell our property . These three points were evident in their programme. – along with their rigid 30 minute “open house” viewing and follow up by phone and meetings with us with professionalism and consistency throughout the selling program. All support staff were very helpful and attentive to our needs throughout the selling process.

James listed my property. He is such a lovely person to deal with, great local knowledge of comparable sales & was happy to assist at any time. His office staff are equally helpful & knowledgeable about your property & always eager to help you when James or Adrian were not in office. Dealing with everyone at McGrath Avalon was easy & professional. The property sold quickly with purchasers on their books.

From listing to sale James and his team were professional, knowledgeable and engaging to a tee. The entire auction process was seamless and easy. James has a calm and pragmatic approach - with a personable demeanour and was committed to getting the best outcome for us always. His detailed analysis of the market and current conditions were spot on. He is a cut above.

A great experience

From the minute James walked in the door to do an appraisal of our home I straight away felt comfortable that he was the agent along with Lauren to handle the sale process. James was always available to offer suggestions and was honest in everything to do with the sale. James is more than an agent, he acts as a friend to help guide you through. I highly recommend James to anyone seeking the services to sell your home.

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.

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!
