A delightful and knowledgable team

We can't speak more highly of Michael and his team at McGrath Ryde. They are extremely knowledgable about the Ryde property market, and their advice to us during our recent sale proved this. We trusted them implicitly, and their communication with us at each stage of the sale was superb. They were always responsive! We received a fantastic result, and we would highly recommend Michael to anyone else looking to sell a property in the Ryde area.

McGrath Ryde - Fantastic!

McGrath Ryde - Fantastic!

We entrusted Michael Dowling and his team at McGrath Ryde the task of selling our unit and they achieved a stellar result! Michael's no B.S. approach, market knowledge, and honesty will put you at ease knowing you've selected the best team for the job. His team very ably managed a minor renovation of the unit in a matter of weeks whilst keeping us in the loop at all times. With the property presenting well with modern styling and top-notch marketing material, Michael sold the property after the first viewing, and at a record price for the block! Needless to say, we were delighted with the result and the services provided by the whole McGrath Ryde team throughout the process. Thank you and keep up the great work.

Sale of our property

We knew that selling our property was going to be a daunting experience and we wanted to find the right agent for this job. As soon as we met Michael, we felt that we could trust him and that he would be able to deliver this for us. We are happy with the way Michael and his team worked with us, in the lead up to auction day and we felt that they were really looking after our best interests. Thank you Michael for all your hard work!!!

Testimonial for Michael Dowling - McGrath R/Estate Ryde

We recently engaged Michael Dowling and his team at McGrath Ryde to market and sell our parents home at Ryde. Michael's extensive knowledge of the local market, his genuine interest in us and his relaxed yet meticulous nature were big factors that helped us to decide to use Michael and his team. From day one he was open, honest and he had strategic plans that evolved throughout the campaign. Everything was based on the latest market trends and specifically directed to our local market and its buyer type. Their extensive and most importantly "qualified" client data base, along with a targeted marketing plan which we all decided on, ensured that we had a huge number of interested parties viewing the property at the open homes, which resulted in a large number of genuine buyers that registered and also joined in the bidding on auction day. This all provided a sale price well above the reserve and also above our expectations. The communication during the entire process was first class and we were always kept in the loop with the progress and numbers following the open homes and leading up to auction day. Nothing was forced on us, Michael provided guidance and advice all based on their extensive research, but in the end it was our decision which way to go.................and thankfully we took his advice. Without hesitation we would highly recommend that anyone interested in selling their property engage Michael Dowling and his team as you wont be disappointed.

With you every step of the way

Selling a unit in the heart of Ryde we were always confident in a sale it was just how much. However, one thing we didn't expect was to stumble across Michael and his team. Having bought the unit 5 years ago and recently purchasing a family home a sale was needed and quick. We recalled his details from a flyer which popped into our letter box one day. This one we gave more than just the glance and subsequent toss to the bin as it's not often a unit sets a new sale record on the street, Michael had just achieved this. We met multiple agents but Michael stood out from the rest, spending over two hours with us during our initial meeting. Any questions we came up with he answered truthfully and went on to describe many situations we hadn't even thought of. Throughout the advertising and into the auction process all of his team were exemplary in their behaviour and time given to us, not easy for an agent with a young family. Michael knows the Ryde market very well and if you are considering selling give him a call, you won't be disappointed. Happy seller with a new building record for our apartment block. Over the moon. Thank you Michael, Chris, Bianca.

Micheal Dowling - Top agent, Top bloke, Top Team!

Micheal Dowling - Top agent, Top bloke, Top Team!

This was our first sale in property and Michael and his team were so reassuring, knowledgeable and supportive throughout the entire process. We interviewed a number of agents from both in and out of the area but Michael stood out from the rest. His calm and friendly manner made him so easy to deal with and he was always available to meet or chat on the phone whenever required. Michael was always able to work around our family needs and was so tolerant and accommodating every step of the way. Michael gave excellent advice from presenting the property to considering offers and proceeding to auction and his advice was spot on with every decision to be made, resulting in a great outcome for us. On auction day, the nerves were high, yet Michael provided so much reassurance and calmness and we knew we were in very capable hands. Michael has a very strong team around him and they all complement each other perfectly. If we were starting this entire process again we certainly wouldn't meet with so many agents but just go with Michael as he is a top bloke, a top agent and has a top team working with him!

Hassle free service

Hassle free service

I have received a hassle free service from Michael and his team. For our first contact and meeting Michael came prepared with relevant market information and a proposed sales process most suitable to the property in question. Communication at every juncture of the marketing & sales campaign was prompt and informative. The outcome of the sale was at the higher end of our expectation. I would recommend Michael & his team to any prospective property owner.
