A delight to work with

This was the second house James has helped us to sell. His knowledge of the market helped us to set realistic expectations. James is honest, respectful, thorough, kind and a delight to work with.

Highly recommend

From our initial discussions preparing the property for sale and managing a number of small works pre-sale, to arranging surveys, and advising on marketing James and Lyndall were extremely professional and very helpful. This was important given the 9-11 hour time difference on telephone calls. Their advice was accurate and timely, especially when guiding us through the process from auction to private treaty and then achieving the final sale price. Would highly recommend them.

Honesty, integrity and a professional approach

We have always found James super easy to deal with as buyers and sellers. James professional and calm demeanor make working with him a delight. His knowledge and insight in the local area is excellent and his guidance throughout the whole process reassuring. There is no other agent in the area that guide both the buyers and sellers through the process with honesty, integrity and a genuine professional approach. We could not recommend him highly enough.

A wealth of industry experience

There was never any doubt about who would handle the sale of our property. We had dealt with James previously and witnessed his calm, quiet demeanour coupled with a fierce determination to achieve a premium result. He is scrupulously honest, has a wealth of industry experience and his track record and reputation on the Beaches is well deserved. James is a lateral thinker - a terrific skill in a negotiator. Thank you James.

Professional, knowledgeable, personable

A huge decision who to entrust with the sale of your home and not one taken lightly. Their reputation, knowledge and success in Avalon Beach specifically, made the decision to go with James Baker and Lauren Garner a no-brainer. Throughout the process, both were professional and knowledgeable, whilst being personable and acutely aware of the emotional journey selling one's home can be. We would not hesitate to engage with these lovely people again. Thank you James and Lauren
