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

Fantastic to work with

James and Lauren were fantastic to work with. Obviously selling a house is a very stressful process but they were both terrific at helping us manage the process and get an outcome we were happy with. I'd highly recommend them and the McGrath team to anyone selling in the area.

You don’t become one of Australia’s best real estate agents by accident!

You don’t become one of Australia’s best real estate agents by accident!

You don’t become one of Australia’s best real estate agents by accident! I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside JB for almost twenty years. It’s a given that top performers have market knowledge, high sales volume and impressive stats, but in an industry known for “smoke & mirrors” it’s rare to find an agent with the wisdom and decency to not tell you want you want to hear but what you may need to hear. James is a great human and the one I’d want in my corner every time.

James isn’t like other agents….

James isn’t like other agents….

James was lovely to deal with. Always available and very knowledgeable. I didn’t get the price I wanted but that was the market! I felt like they were totally on my side all the way through. I was interstate and they found me local stylists (a 1/3 of the price of other agents quotes) cleaners handymen etc and dealt with them all. Go with James….you won’t regret it.

Sound advice, detailed market knowledge, extreme professionalism

After interviews with a number of agents, it was easy to select James Baker's team as the most knowledgeable and professional. A targeted campaign, with constant result review, resulted in finding the motivated buyer for our unusual property. James and team where always available and enabled the process that resulted in a timely sale, with all parties satisfied with the outcome.
