Excellent team

Excellent team

We listed our apartment in a time when the market for houses was booming but apartments had slowed. John and his team were always very positive and patient. We were always kept in the loop throughout the process and John achieved a great result. We would definitely recommend John and his great team.

Very happy and professional

John and his team went above and beyond to help in my search for a property. I was confident buying a property through John as he was able to answer all my questions and help explain the process and what to expect. John and his team were also very gracious with their time, even helping me with other property issues that didn’t relate to a property they were managing. I was very grateful for all their help

Integrity, professionalism, dedication

Integrity, professionalism, dedication

John is an outstanding professional and I would recommend him to anyone who values integrity and wisdom. His insight, communication and guidance through our campaign was first rate. After our auction was ultimately unsuccessful (torrential rain resulted in a complete washout), John reassuringly guided us into the next stage of the process (private treaty) and patiently went about sourcing the next cohort of potential buyers. Within a week and a half we had exchanged contracts at a price much closer to our reserve price. It's easy to receive a great review when the market is booming, however John's true character shone through when the situation (for a brief while) was not as we had expected. John's core values are also reflected in the outstanding quality of the team at McGrath Willoughby (Will, Emma, and previously, Nicky). Thank you.

For a Stress-Free Successful Sales Experience, Contact John

At our first meeting with John, he impressed my wife and myself with his calming, humorous but reassuring conversation beside his knowledge and experience of Real Estate sales in Willoughby. This gave us the confidence to move forward with McGrath immediately. His sales strategy worked for us and in the end we got the result we were looking for. McGrath staff (Sales, Admin and Finance) all went that 'extra mile' to assist us during the sale period. Most impressive was when we had an issue the night before settlement; with just an hour's notice, one staff member and John moved swiftly to resolve the issue and ensure we had a memorable settlement experience the next day. Ten out of Ten McGrath!

My experience with John was professional and productive. From appointment to settlement all issues were properly handled to make sure our mutual objectives were achieved. Guidance and realistic comments were always provided. These were based on his vast experience and knowledge of my locality. Excellent end result and timely communications.

A rare find and a class act, from start to finish!

Ours was a very challenging home to sell in extremely challenging times. The fact that we achieved a successful outcome, despite everything happening around us and yet because of everything that John McManus and his talented and energetic team did for us is a true testament to his unparalleled levels of professionalism, patience, perseverance, relentless positivity and pure grit throughout our sales campaign. John and his team were always an absolute joy to work with, no matter what, and despite the various challenges we faced. If you’re looking for an agent with integrity and energy in bucketloads, who clearly excels in his real estate knowledge and insights, brings an innovative approach to tackling various issues, is someone you can absolutely trust and respect every step of the way, and always be able to have genuinely open and honest communication and a good laugh with, then look no further. A rare find and a class act from start to finish!

Stress free process with a professional team

Stress free process with a professional team

I found John really easy to communicate with. He was so quick to respond to calls and obtain information that we requested from the vendor to help with our due diligence. Once we had exchanged contracts, the service from John's team was impeccable to make for a smooth process until settlement. John's knowledge of the area is unrivalled and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services.

A seemless purchasing experience

A seemless purchasing experience

The whole process of purchasing a property from McGrath's and John as agent was seemless. From the first inspection to opening the property outside of normal inspection times, nothing was too much trouble for John and his team. Even after exchange and as the property was vacant, John facilitated access for me to undertake some measurements. I would highly recommend John and I will certainly be using him when I next sell a property.
