Every property is different and the market is constantly changing. This is where the intelligent agent comes into his own. Knowing when, how and which way to play to the moment of truth.

My beautiful home was sold successfully at auction which achieved a remarkably rewarding outcome. Mr. James Baker and his team, Lauren Garner and Danielle Ford, conducted their service very deligently and professionally throughout the entire marketing campaign. They were with me tiredlessly, being appropriately consultative and effectively communicative. I would like to name James "James Best" because of his unsurpassed skills in reaching out to all the potential buyers and finding me the winning buyer! The outcome was a win win situation that went beyond my expectation. My decision that James was the agent to sell my property was also based on his successful sale of my previous house nine years ago. I certainly made the right choice. I chose James. He is the best! I sincerely wish James Baker great success and many satisfied clients in future. Lawrence Kwong

James was very professional and we enjoyed dealing with him. Would definitely use him to sell our house in the future.

We like this location in Clareville a lot and were very interested in seeing number 42 Wandeen when it came on the market - when we saw that James was the agent we were heartened, as we had seen properties with him previously and found him to be very professional - we remembered the fact that he had gone out of his way earlier, to show us potential properties So for us it was great that James listed number 42 - as before we found him to be very professional and great to deal with and therefore wish him every success in the future

I'd know James for a number of years and when we were looking to purchase James was really helpful and informative. When the time came to sell my first call was James. For me the most important skill for an agent is communication. James' communication skills are fantastic. He's always available, always follows through on what was promised and overall made the process of selling far more easy. James is highly regarded by buyers and sellers and I can't thank him enough for the work and effort he put in to getting us a great sales result.

Thank you James ! All of the above. Result great only slighting disappointed with delayed settlement. Well Done.

Great communication and involvement from a great team.

Having been in Real Estate in this area for many years now, James has an expansive knowledge of the Avalon area on Sydney's Northern Beaches. He is definitely 'the gentleman' of real estate here. James is quietly spoken, laid back and a pleasure to work with. Keeping me informed every step of the way, communicating by phone, email and text almost every day, gave me the definite feeling that James was WORKING FOR ME, that I was just not another listing on his books. I have been singing his praises to all and sundry since he sold my home in approximately 3 weeks after listing, I have no hesitation in recommending him as your local agent.

James came to me via a highly personal recommendation from a colleague whose representation by James succeeded in the sale result of street record and exceeded client price expectation. WOW!! They were not wrong and in fact seemed on reflection to down play his intense professionalism, impeccable negotiating skills and most importantly for me......his understanding that above all else; this is personal!! Get it wrong and an underwhelming sale may be devastating to a family..... Get it right by choosing James and Lauren or as I see it...Team McGrath; and very likely you will hit the sweet spot of right campaign, right price, perfect outcome and smooth family happiness. Oh!! and most definitely......no industry bullshit. Scottie; Avalon.

It was a smooth sailing experience working with James. He is very personable and has a sincere manner. We would contact James again re selling and buying. Very grateful to have a lovely agent sell us our first family home.

A terrific combination (James Baker with Lauren Garner). James is the ultimate negotiator. Lauren is a fabulous co between. The male/female thing got me in. There is no doubt, they are a formidable team....🌸🌸All the best. Alex Furlong

When buying property I am mindful of the fact that the agent works for (and is paid by) the seller. With this in mind I did find James very direct and helpful when it came to negotiation. I was very grateful for this. He also relayed my love of the property to the owner, which may have helped me secure the purchase.
