I’ve dealt with several sales agents in the last 20 years and James by far stands out as a premium choice that stands above the rest when it comes to knowledge of current market trends, communication skills and sales tactics. He is extremely reliable and doesn’t let a phone call go unanswered. I had full trust that his goal was to achieve the best outcome for myself.
Oli helped us buy our dream home in Suffolk Park, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is not only an excellent real estate agent but also a wonderful person who will guide you through the entire buying process from start to finish. You can count on him to look out for your best interests. Thanks, Oli.
James & team went above & beyond with the sale of our home. James’ knowledge of the local area, and more specifically the Aureus Estate, is exceptional. He understands the area so well that he knew exactly what market the property would appeal to & how to position it accordingly. James also went above and beyond in helping to project manage things on our behalf, which made an enormous difference. Excellent communication, always willing to help, showed great care & attention. Highly recommend
We couldn’t be happier with Ian and the way he handled the sale of our house. He’s a true Suffolk Park specialist, with excellent local knowledge and a great understanding of the market. His honesty and integrity really stood out, especially compared with some other agents in the area who can give the industry a bad name. We always trusted his advice and felt he genuinely had our best interests at heart. Highly recommend
Ollie is a fantastic communicator, has great knowledge of the market and is so easy to talk to and discuss any areas around the sale. He really listens to you and doesn’t give the ‘big’ talk. I have found Ollie to be authentic, honest and a real asset to the sale of my property.
In a toughish market, Nathan and his team worked extremely hard to get a good result for us. I would seriously recommend him and his team to anyone thinking of selling or buying in Ballina.
I recently used Jamie as my agent to sell my property, Jamie and his team were absolutely flawless from start to finish and secured a buyer within a week for me.. Highly recommend his team for all real estate needs, you won’t be disappointed..
We found Jake very accommodating and helpful in our dealings with him while trying to secure the purchase of a Lennox Head property. Jake has an easy going nature and he assisted us in successfully navigating through the whole process.

Shawn was always very professional through the process of purchasing this property. He promptly responded to phone calls and emails and he worked with the vendor to address any questions I had regarding the property. Shawn kept me up to date with offers from other potential purchasers, which kept me well informed. He demonstrated a high level of integrity, whilst also being very transparent. I knew I was in good hands with Shawn’s knowledge of the market and his practical support.
The knowledge of the market they have was very valuable and the communication was fantastic. The whole experience of selling a house was first class.

Ashley is a dream come true in the form of an agent. It is so refreshing to find an agent so genuine & helpful, who truly cares so much & is so happy for you to have a great outcome! Not only did she seamlessly sell my property without any stress, concerns or uncertainty, she also liased with an external agent to secure a smooth simultaneous exchange & settlement for my next purchase. Ashley is a shining light in the real estate industry & made me feel confident & secure in all communications.
We dealt with Ben Gatwood. His professionalism shone through on each occasion. His knowledge of the market and of our house when presenting our property to the buyer was first class. He is quietly confident and knowledgeable.

Jamie and his team were wonderful, he sold my unit on the back of an unsuccessful contract with another agent. Jamie was professional, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area and explained how he and his team sold properties. I felt very comfortable with him and he sold my property within about a few weeks of being on the market and for more than I was asking. If I sold again I would definitely use Jamie and McGrath as my agents.

Thank you so much Ash for selling our property at Alstonville. You made what can be a stressful time so much easier with your professionalism, open communication and knowledge of the local area and what buyers were looking for. She worked tirelessly to secure us the best outcome and went above and beyond to keep us informed at all times during the process. I would highly recommend her if you need to buy or sell a property. Everyone at McGrath was amazing to deal with and so helpful.
Nick was professional throughout the total process. His knowledge of the local market was an asset, as was his assistance in navigating the sometimes complex real estate market and process. He provided guidance and assistance at all stages.

We sold our first home in June with Max and our experience couldn’t have been better. Going into the sale we really wanted an agent who would campaign the property in a tasteful manner and Max exceeded our expectations. Throughout the sale process the clear and open communication was fantastic, Max guided us in exploring all ideas and opportunities. As a vendor we also wanted an agency that would feel friendly and welcoming to buyers, the team at McGrath are just that! Big thank you Max!
We were in the market for two years looking for what felt like the impossible home for a multi-gen family with a fair few “must haves”. Jake kept us in the know even when we weren’t actively looking and shared upcoming listings that hadn’t hit the market yet. We ended up buying our second home with him and selling our first. From our first interaction Jake was always pleasant and easy to work with. He listens and cares – no question was ever a problem for him.
We first met Bill by when searching for a new property and from the word go it just worked beautifully which suited us down to the ground. Bill was most responsive and when sent questions he always answered quickly and was easily understood. His follow up communication never left us guessing. Bill advised us of what we could expect from him and he kept his word not only prior to settlement but post settlement as well which is extremely important and just so nice to see.
Firstly,it was not Shawn but Jamie Marshall. Jamie was extremely Professional with his guidance ,availability and friendship throughout the process.

Tezu was exceptional, honest and genuine. To have an agent that will go above and beyond during all hours as long as growing up in the area was beyond helpful. Highly recommend Tezu, and would happily use him to buy and sell again again. Thank you Tezu for all of your help!
I can’t speak highly enough of Tez’ hard work, communication and enthusiasm for his job. He literally went above and beyond and helped us navigate extremely challenging personal circumstances as well as market conditions during our sale where we still achieved a result in line with our agreed expectations. Tez is honest, polite, punctual and a pleasure to deal with and I would recommend him and his team to any vendor
Graham has deep level and extensive knowledge and insight of the local Lennox Head and wider region. He is efficient and flexible when things may not always be straight forward. He is open and transparent on the process and facilitates great outcomes. This is the second time using Graham for this property and I would always use Grahams services if needed in the future. When trust is the most important thing, Graham is the agent you need
Ben and Nathan were highly professional and the outcomes met all our expectations.

Bill’s experience and knowledge of this area’s market was impressive. Bill delivered what he promised and fought hard to get the price we wanted in a struggling market. His approach was very professional and through many hurdles he remained calm and most importantly was a voice of reason. He has extensive industry knowledge and solid connection to this area with realistic and accurate data on what makes houses sell! Would absolutely use Bill again. Thanks to him and his team.
We originally bought our home through Shawn and had no hesitation entrusting him with the sale. His experience and knowledge gave us good insight into current market trends from the outset, and thanks to the dedication and commitment of him and his team we sold our house at the price we wanted and in a timely manner. Communication was excellent at every step of the way, which alleviated stress and we were kept in the loop regarding valuable feedback from open inspections.

Thanks to Bill’s knowledge and dedication, our home was under offer within just a couple of weeks and achieved the price we were hoping for.
Max was handed a challenge and he ran with it Selling in a quick and timely manner Amazing
Bill stuck with us through thick and thin and we could always rely on him. It was a difficult market at the time to sell our property, but he never gave up.
The Mayor of Alstonville does it again! Bill and his team of hot shots aka Max ‘Harry Styles’ Mulcahy did a fantastic job from start to finish on selling our property. Excellent service and minimal conditioning 10/10
Great experience with Bill. We needed to move fast and he was on the ball from the beginning. Very happy.
Tezu Harrison was wonderful to work with. His deep knowledge of the Byron Bay market and wider real estate trends gave us real confidence throughout the process.
