James is easily the best agent we have worked with thus far. His professionalism and attitude made the process of selling our property a breeze. He has a great understanding of the market and dealing with him and his team at McGrath Avalon was an absolute pleasure. Highly recommended!

Wonderful team

It was a pleasure selling my property with James and his team. They went above and beyond with additional open homes when required. They kept me up to date with regular calls and emails and in the end got me a great price for my unit.

It is a pleasure to write a review on James Baker & Jonathan Fletcher and all the McGrath team. They made selling our house & the whole campaign as stressless as possible and supported us in every way to achieve a positive outcome. We were so impressed with James Baker who communicated with us constantly and how professional and respectful he was working tirelessly to achieve the best result he could. This was such an emotional time for us and the whole McGrath team were wonderful. Thankyou to you all especially James & Jonathan. The best in the business ! Regards Chesne & John Raymond

Happy to recommend James

We used James Baker of McGrath Avalon to sell our family home in September 2018. James and his team were professional and knowledgeable at every point of contact. We felt that the service was of a high level and very thorough. Both James and Lyndall were responsive to both us as vendors, and also to interested parties/buyers. The process was seamless and hassle-free, which was valuable. Thanks James and Lyndall - happy to recommend you both! - Case and Rachel

James went above and beyond my expectations in the process of selling my property. His technique is quiet and calm as he negotiates his way through the complex web of selling real estate.

Only one for us !!!

Only one for us !!!

I am so happy to give James this recommendation. He deserves it. Not only is he a extremely knowledgeable and professional Agent but he is such a warm and friendly person. I felt so confident in James' ability to achieve the amazing result for our property, that he did. A street record!!!! From the get go, James was extremely generous of his time and patiently stepped us through the sales/auction process as we had not had property dealings in 18 years. James gave us comprehensive information and advice about marketing the property in the various media options and allowed us to make the decision without any pressure whatsoever. James stepped us through a guide price for our property which which was accurate and achievable. Throughout the campaign, James kept us totally informed regarding prospective buyers and would phone immediately after every open for inspection. He phoned us with updates and we were always in the loop. As a vendor we really appreciated that. He negotiated our sale in such a way that it achieved such a great result. His calming nature and reassurance during a very stressful time was wonderful. We couldn't be happier with James' and his wonderful team at McGrath Avalon. Thank you so much.

Thank you for helping me achieve the purchase of my home which I am sure I will be very happy with and enjoy for years to come with my big family. The grandchildren are mostly pleased that it has a pool and I am sure all my grandchildren and extended family and friends will have many happy times in this lovely home.

Great agent

James knows the local market in a detailed way and really keeps informed of what is happening with sales. He developed a good marketing strategy which attracted a very good response of inspections and potential buyers. James has a very engaging style with buyers and was effective at maximising interest in the property. The final sale was assisted by the extra exposure James was able to get through his contacts with media groups, including a feature of the property on a SkyTV property segment. Would recommend James for his professional approach and the results he is able to achieve.

James & Adrian @ Macrath Avalon Beach we’re fantastic. In a difficult market they gave great advice based on deep market knowledge. While we always had the last say their strategic advice together with a great process got us the best outcome we could have hoped for. John & Robyn
