We found John to be very approachable and knowledgeable and efficient with our purchase of our new home. He was always professional and helpful and kept us informed of the progress of the sale.

John was very professional in his sale of our property from initial contact to obtain the listing through to final settlement. We were very impressed that his initial price indication was spot of the market. The sale took only a few weeks to obtain an offer and we were more than happy with a couple of minor negotiated items (slightly less deposit, early access to property, shorter settlement period). Big thank you to John and his team.

I was very happy with the way John handled the recent sale of my house, especially as it was necessitated by the sudden and unexpected death of my husband. Being a stressful time for myself and my family, I really appreciated the care and consideration proffered by John, David Sommerville and their team at McGraths in making the whole process as easy as possible. I would unreservedly recommend John and David to anyone thinking about listing their property for sale in Ballina and the surrounding areas.

John sets the bar high for himself and his clients. He sold our property in two days and for a higher price than we expected but moreover, he knew he would (i.e knowledge of the market and confidence). His real estate judgement is impeccable and we have always consulted John in the past when selling or buying and found him to be genuine, honest and supportive. Best r/e professional in the area.

John Nicolson was great, he made the sales transaction incredibly easy by providing all information needed promptly, thus making my sales process smooth.

We have known John Nicolson for a number of years and found him to be very honest and trustworthy performing the task of selling our house. His experience and wealth of knowledge in the industry appeals to us. When we asked John to sell our house he listened to our requests and concerns and carried them out with due diligence. He communicated with our tenant regarding open houses and always gave us feedback from them promptly. We would certainly recommend John to any prospecting seller or buyer.

John Nicolson of McGraths at Ballina, was able to answer all my questions and allay my concerns in the process of purchasing my new home at auction on 18th February. John is confident, knowledgeable about the local area, Council regulations and in all aspects involving the legal process of buying and selling real estate. His professional, courteous and respectful manner inspired my trust and made for a quick and smooth transition from house hunter to home owner.

John was always honest, upfront with information, gave good advice/opinion when asked and readily assisted us when we required assistant. I would not hesitate in recommending John.

I have bought and sold a number of properties over the years but I have never had a better experience than my most recent sales experience with John Nicolson from McGrath Ballina. John's knowledge of pricing and marketing our property in Alstonville was a stand out. He was able to give us an evaluation of the property straight away and outlined a conservative marketing strategy he would use when listing our property. This marketing strategy and pricing advice proved to be perfect as our home sold within two weeks with a price that exceeded our expectations. The follow-up was regular and we always treated with the utmost respect and courtesy which my wife and I appreciated very much.

If you're looking for someone who knows the market with loads of experience then John is the agent for you. He is very confident in what he's doing which leaves you feeling secure that things will go smoothly, and they did. We had legitimate interest in the property within 2 days of going on the market and were sold within a week at a price higher than I'd thought we'd get. Very happy!

Settlement of the sale of our home is soon to be complete. We have been very happy with the service given by our agent John Nicholson and his colleagues at McGraths Ballina. His dependability and diligence was a great help with the process.

Experienced, knowledgable, reliable and honest. Highly recommended.
