Our engagement with John and his team surpassed all of our expectations. John was always happy to take our calls, answer our silly questions and followed through on promises to provide updates. John was an excellent advocate for our position, and would always be honest with us to help manage our expectations. John's knowledge of the Willoughby market is unsurpassed, and he brought that knowledge to bear in getting us the best possible price for our property. We cannot recommend John highly enough!

John and his team is very professional and reliable real estate agency, he and his team keeping us up to date with all the activities. John puts our interest first and making sure the property is sold at its best value. I will recommend John to all Sellers and Buyers. I also recommend his partnering designer team Cordony Designs.

John from the start really helped to set my mind at ease about the whole process, which then gave me the confidence to sell and also a real understanding of the part I would need to play to make sure my property was in the best condition possible. I can't thank him enough, and his professional team, for doing such a great job. I always felt that John and the team were working hard to achieve a good result - and this was evident throughout the campaign in the regular detailed updates. If I was selling or buying, I'd want to do it again with John and his team. They are amazing.

John, Hamish and the team at McGrath did a fantastic job selling our home, keeping us updated throughout the process, doing an excellent job marketing the property and working very hard to get the best possible result for us.

Within 24 hours John had found us the perfect match for our downsizing! After too long with no results John delivered! Definitely the only agent I would entrust with my sale or purchase!

We always knew we would ask John to sell our home as we had watched his sales in the Willoughby area for years. Our neighbor used John to sell her home and the result was outstanding. Months later we decided to sell our property which was a HUGE decision for us on many levels. We knew John could achieve the best result but we needed guidance and experience to get there. One doesn't realize how much emotion and attachment is involved in leaving a property you have lived in for 16 years. So we began our campaign with the best direction and expertise on offer; everything John suggested for us to do we did. The result came down to the honesty John displayed during this entire process - every step of the way he communicated with us each night and gauged where we were as we progressed towards getting the result we wanted. He was frank, positive, understanding and realized the value of timing and getting the right buyer. We had ONLY ONE market inspection and had an offer on the table one day later. The second day we were signing the contract with a smile on our face (and a few tears). Overall, John performed at a level beyond excellent as well as his entire team. My vote on The McManus Group would be 11/10.

John went above and beyond to secure a successful sale for our apartment. His professionalism, warmth and humour made the process a breeze during what would normally be a stressful time, especially given todays uncertain market. John and his entire team were excellent at communicating on progress during the campaign and made us feel like we could call to discuss at any time of day (or night!) John and his assistant Nicky then went one step further and provided guidance in the process of securing our new home. Their friendliness and compassion were a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend John to anyone considering selling their property.

John is the most accountable, reliable and trustworthy agent that we have seen, with excellent negotiation skills. He sacrifices his arm and leg to achieve a happy ending for both the vendor and buyer. Luxurious office is a bonus.

John and his team were very professional and proactive during our campaign achieving a great result in what was a very competitive and tough market. John worked overtime keeping me updated with sales enquiries and progress. His communication was outstanding and would highly recommend John to anyone considering selling their property.

I’ve known John for sometime as his agency managed the rental of our family home when we moved to Canberra. When we decided to sell we knew John was the right person. And then covid-19 hit and he steered us professionally through that to get a sale. John has great communication skills and kept us informed at all times and had also facilitated getting all the work done on the house including the styling. I highly recommend John!!

This is the second time in 10 years my wife and I have had the good fortune to have purchased a property from John. Most skilled and sincere real estate agent ever encountered. His unparalleled knowledge of the lower north shore market has enabled us to make very good long-term decisions for our family's needs. His professionalism and personable nature make him feel more like a trusted partner than a broker. Highly recommended for buyers and sellers!

John and his team were always honest, keeping us posted daily either by phone calls or messages. Very professional, made our life less stressful, even when our property was passed in at auction, John always said our house will be sold and it did sell. John even went out of his way to help us purchase our new property which wasn’t even his listing, that shows how over and above he is committed to his clients. The best agent in the lower north shore with out a doubt!
