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 has exceptional local market knowledge and always operated with a high level of integrity. The level of communication throughout the campaign was excellent and put us at ease with the process.

James is very professional and a great communicator at each stage of the process. He has a fantastic support team backing him up and the McGrath Avalon team certainly showed their colours. Many thanks to all.

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.

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.

Fantastic work by all the team

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
