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.

James Baker is the best agent I have worked with. I have used James over many years and I highly recommend James to anyone looking to sell their home. James is well supported by Lauren, Natalie and the entire McGrath team who are a pleasure to work with. James understands the market and the buyer better than any agent I have come across and he is honest, credible and trustworthy. James is an excellent communicator and goes out of his way to ensure your property is positioned and marketed for success.

James was very professional, skilful, reliable and helpful. He was really pleasant to deal with, and available whenever we needed him. We dealt with other McGrath Avalon agents during the process of finding a property, and everyone was very professional, so we would definitely recommend James Baker and the McGrath Avalon Team!

The only agent i would choose to sell my property. A pleasure to purchase through..

James Baker from McGrath Avalon, just sold our property in Clareville for an amazing price! We met James at several open homes before we decided to sign up with him. His follow up on every occasion made us feel there was no one who could represent us in the sale of our home better. His professional yet friendly and approachable and completely trustworthy manner is only a fraction of the reasons for his success. He negotiated an amazing price for our home and we were thrilled to get such a great price is such a short time. James was available and negotiated with purchasers at all hours and 7 days a week till we got the best result. We cant recommend him highly enough. Thank you and we wish you continued success.
