Would definitely recommend James

A calm, measured and very professional approach to selling our property. As we were away in the lead up to the sale and prior to settlement, James and his team went to great lengths to get everything done that had to be done. He provided sound realistic advice and his tactics at auction proved to be correct. Thanks James.

Outstanding agent

Outstanding agent

James Baker is one of the best real estate agents I have ever worked with. His knowledge of the local market, communication skills & commitment to achieving the best possible result for us was excellent. James & his team at McGrath Avalon exceeded our expectations. His honesty in the market value of our house & the preparation the whole team put into our marketing campaign was exceptional. I have no hesitation in recommending James to future clients & I would certainly contract McGrath Avalon for future sales & purchases.

Great experience from beginning to end

James actually sold us our house and that is why we decided to use James and Jonathon from McGrath. James immediately builds trust with everyone he works with. He has a great knowledge of the market and is extremely professional and understanding. We are really pleased with the result we got and thank James and his awesome and friendly team at McGrath Avalon for all their hard work. They made every step of the process easy and nothing was too much trouble. Thanks also to Stephanie in the office who was outstanding, and Lauren’s amazing styling advice!

Professional and Generous with Time

Professional and Generous with Time

James' gentle professional approach to selling our much loved Avalon home recently was admirable. His market knowledge was extensive and true and there was nothing left unanswered on our behalf during our campaign. We felt we could trust James unreservedly to get us the best result in a difficult market and he did not disappoint. His calming manner was enviable on auction day when emotions were running high, not only for us as sellers but for the buyer as well. At all times we felt well prepared for the week ahead in the campaign and that decisions were ours to be made as the seller, with the knowledge that James had provided us. James was constantly available throughout the process of selling and we appreciate how generous he was with his time, his reassuring nature and his grasp of the situation at all times. We would wholeheartedly recommend James to any potential sellers in our Avalon area.

Consummate professional

James displayed all the attributes of a consummate residential property professional. He was attentive, courteous, pro-active and responsive to the needs and wishes of both the vendors and prospective buyers. He demonstrated a knowledge and understanding of the residential property market on the Northern Peninsular beyond the Bends that was truly impressive. I would be happy to recommend him to prospective vendors in the area.

Strong performance by James Baker and the Avalon McGrath team.

James led the sale of my house in a tough market. James kept me abreast of market conditions, local activities and results and the specifics of my sale. James was pro-active, had a strong point of view which you want from a professional but also listened to and responded to my input. James and his team worked hard to get me an optimal result.

Well managed process

The experience of purchasing through James and his team was on balance, excellent. The first encounter we had with James set the tone for the entire process. He was fast to understand our position and we felt reassured in his approach and how he conveyed the vendors motivations. Through negotiations, James communicated effectively and ensured we were fully informed regularly. This was really key for us. We would both highly reccomend James and his team.

Absolutely first class agent.

Absolutely first class agent.

From first meeting James to the auction campaign and sale of our property he was very open, honest and ethical. We couldn't have asked for more from James and his team at McGrath Avalon Beach. We would have no hesitation in recommending James and his team to other vendors.
