Buyer of 128 Riverview Rd, Avalon Beach
We had an exceptional experience working with Lauren. From start to finish, she was an outstanding communicator—always responsive, clear, thoughtful, and proactive. Her professionalism, patience, and genuine care made a huge difference. We always felt that we had someone in our corner who was advocating for us and keeping the process moving forward. She listened to our brief for our ‘dream’ home and nailed it. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who combines expertise, exceptional communication, and genuine compassion.

Lauren has been a pivotal part in two of our house sales . Once in the height of the market the last during a really really difficult market and her professionalism , knowledge and positive energy has been a constant throughout. Lauren’s ability to really understand and read the nuances of the market as well as her clients is a clearly honed and specialised skill that has really shone through during this recent unprecedented time. Always responsive , always understanding and always able to find the right ( and I imagine often difficult ) balance of being supportive to both buyers and vendors . Lauren remembers the details , the potential buyers names , their story and so many other things that turn a transaction into a real connection. Lauren is especially good at negotiating, staying calm and guiding you through those final delicate and highly emotionally charged moments before the sale is agreed and finalised. Not only is Lauren a genuinely lovely human she is also an exceptional agent. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Lauren to anyone looking for an agent who cares ,who is honest , who they know they can trust and who they actually will enjoy working with.

We had a great experience with McGrath when we sold 6 years ago at the height of the market so had no doubts about who we would use when we decided to sell again . A week after we put our house on the market the market crashed and we lost 10% of our homes value overnight. If you want to know what makes a truly outstanding agent it’s what you experience in the lows not just the highs. James and Adrian managed the situation head on. No fluff. No stringing us along. A real plan of what we needed to do. It was hard, there was so much money and emotional investment in our home but we had to change course literally overnight . James was the lead agent and over the following 5 months remained a constant source of professionalism , kindness and wisdom. We didn’t ‘have’ to sell so we were lucky but we decided, because of personal logistics , to continue with the campaign. I’ve lost count of the amount of phone calls, texts and emails that we sent in and out of hours to James over those 5 months. And I’ve lost count of the amount he answered, every single time. We felt he was really on this journey with us and he somehow , god knows how , balanced always being respectful of our frustrations whilst also keeping us on track and grounded. Never telling us what we wanted to hear but always telling us what we needed to. This was so much more than an agent knowing the area , house prices and having a good database. This was where experience and professionalism, genuine care and humanity really kicks in. Even though we were approached by other agents during those rollercoaster 5 months there was never a single moment we thought about changing agents. Estate agents can have such a bad reputation but once you’ve worked with alongside James and the Mcgrath team in Avalon it would be impossible for you to not find him one of, If not the most trustworthy agents there is out there.
Seller of 179 Riverview Road, Avalon Beach
Both an extremely knowledgeable and personable agent, James is a delight to deal with. He has a current, data driven approach which enables a clear understanding of the local property market and is open, honest and transparent in his advice. He is excellent in establishing and maintaining relationships and in understanding and supporting a client’s path to the sale and purchase of property. It is an approach which is mirrored by his entire team. We recommend James unreservedly.
Seller of 45A Chisholm Ave, Avalon Beach
James was personable, professional and extremely knowledgeable about the market. He shared his recommendations but didn't pressure us to do things we were not comfortable with. He did manage to get us to a sale result!

Seller of 179 Riverview Road, Avalon Beach
Lyndall is both an exceptional person and an exceptional agent, with a gift for communication and establishing an instant rapport. She was open, honest and transparent in relation to the property market in general and its relevance for our property. This helped us with market expectations and in achieving a swifter sale in an uncertain market. Quite apart from a ‘Nothing is too much trouble’ attitude, she has an impressive little black book of contacts for any jobs needed for property preparation. We recommend her without reservation.
Seller of 45A Chisholm Ave, Avalon Beach
Lyndall Barry is a lovely woman, professional and was great to work with. Lyndall was responsive when we had questions and laser fast responding to inquiries from potential buyers. We benefitted from her many years of experience, and I felt confident that she was working for our best interests.
Seller of 16 The Appian Way, Avalon Beach
Firstly, they have the busiest shop in town with people coming and going throughout the day while the others seem to be very quiet. Given the timing with what was going on in the world then I was certain I'd have to discount the price but thankfully I didn't have to. They managed to get a good price at a difficult time. I'd chose them again.

Seller of 29 Albert Road, Avalon Beach
Adrian and his team were excellent to work with and communicated clearly at every stage, from inspections and feedback to the final sale. Adrian’s approachable nature and reassurance made the experience effortless from start to finish. We built a lovely rapport with everyone on the team. We highly recommend Adrian, his team and McGrath Pittwater - Avalon.
Seller of 55 Cabarita Road, Avalon Beach
We could not be more impressed with Adrian’s professionalism and efficiency. From recommending great service providers to assist in preparing our home for auction, to keeping us fully informed throughout the process, Adrian handled everything with care and precision. The home sold within 15 days in a soft market, thanks to his strategic guidance and responsiveness. His clear communication—especially around the auction process and inspection days—was invaluable. We felt supported every step of the way.
