Deciding whether to sell at the start of a lockdown in a pandemic is enough to make you rethink your decision but from the start we had nothing but reassurance and confidence from James Sutton from McGrath Estate Agents. We decided to sell off market as we had a road trip planned and wanted to work within a short time frame that suited us. James approached our deadline with enthusiasm, professionalism and determination. His communication and open home updates were the best we have seen in our 20 years of buying and selling Real Estate. He was passionate about our home which made a big difference in "Selling the dream" to all potential buyers. The Sydney market has had organic growth over the last year at 19% however James successfully negotiated a price 32% above what we purchased it for a year ago. We are thrilled with the outcome and can say genuinely that it was a seamless process. James' ability to read the market , provide a customised strategy to suit our needs along with his energy and efforts were outstanding. We thoroughly recommend James Sutton should be considering to sell across the Upper North Shore.

James Sutton was recommended to us as a preferred agent to help us find a home. From our very first interaction with him, James was friendly and professional. He worked hard to find us a suitable property and was very helpful in providing detailed information and advice. James was very approachable and responsive, keeping us up to date throughout the entire process. No request or question was too difficult, and he approached all of them with energy and enthusiasm. James is very genuine, trustworthy and an absolute pleasure to deal with. We are very pleased with the purchase of our new home, made possible because of James’ passion, hard work and ability to keep both buyer and vendor happy. We highly recommend James because of his excellent service and the overall positive experience he provided. Thank you James for all your help, we couldn’t be happier!

We've met James many times over the last year, as we've searched for the right property to call home for our family, and have come to really appreciate his local knowledge, professional manner and excellent communication. James has just matched us with a vendor selling the perfect house for us, and we are delighted to have been succesful in purchasing our next home. James is genuine, courteous and a pleasure to deal with. He clearly has a knack of achieving the best result for his vendors while also managing to keep lots of potential purchasers on side, no mean feat! Testament to these qualities is his strong record of excellent sales results. James will, we're sure, go from strength to strength and deserves his success. Thank you James, and keep up the good work!

We really enjoyed working with James during the process of selling our house. When he first came to our home James gave honest feedback and quality suggestions about what improvements we could make, and had a clear sales strategy which was reflective of the market climate and buyer pool. James is also a great communicator who kept us well informed throughout the sale process, and worked hard following up potential buyers. We were really happy with the result of our sale (over a week prior to auction) and James made it a really smooth process. We would highly recommend James to other potential sellers.

Having been to many open for inspection visits for other properties in our area, we were familiar with James. Engaging him to sell our house was a great decision! Communication throughout the entire process was excellent and absolutely nothing was too much trouble. What shines through in James is a sense of honesty and integrity. He is highly professional, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Guided by James’ advice and expertise, we sold in a short period of time, prior to auction. James and his team have already been recommended to friends and neighbours! 5 stars plus!

I found James Sutton (McGrath) very user-friendly to deal with on the recent sale of an investment property. As a busy professional, I appreciated James’s hands-on and practical approach because he took much of the hassle and legwork away from the process for us, and he adapted to our preferred communication style. He was not pushy (unlike other agents we have used in the past). James came up with some great ideas for adding value before the sale. We are very happy with the outcome and would recommend him.

James provided an excellent overall service to our family on the sale of our late parents' family home. A combination of his empathy and personable nature, understanding of our situation, market knowledge and target buyer understanding, plus a dedicated overall service commitment and inclusive communications style - this all produced an excellent outcome for all our family, in what was a fairly challenging marketing environment. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

James took a very professional approach to the sale of the property and with his team conducted a very positive sales campaign, and was able to bring plenty of potential purchasers to the auction, which ensured the best outcome for me. James personally and the team ensured all buyers at the auction could confidently participate and put their best bids forward, and a very fair outcome and happy purchaser resulted. Happy to recommend James.

Mr James Sutton is a nice guy, friendly, helpful and trustworthy. He is very professional in real estate business. He can quickly attract potential buyers by pin-pointing out good aspects of a property. I bought a property from him, and I am very happy to get what I want. I believe both buyers and vendors can benefit a lot from dealing with him. Cheers, Yi Li

I recently purchased a home under James’ listing. Although being a buyer interacting with a seller’s agent meant that there was always a bit of conflict of interest, every conversation with James has been friendly, professional, and productively moved the deal forward. The negotiation process through James has been smooth and pleasant.

James was a very patient person in dealing with us as we took a while to decide to sell. However James kept in touch and when it came time to choose an agent, the decision was easy. During the sale his knowledge was helpful and advice invaluable. All round a great job and would certainly recommend James to any potential sellers.

James is an outstanding real estate professional. I have been working with him as a real estate skills coach & also referring him clients & he always looks after them with excellent service. James always wants to grow & learn as an agent so he can provide his buyers and sellers with the best possible customer experience.

As buyers agents we deal with selling agents on a daily basis. James was committed and dedicated to the best interests of his vendor. We found him to be professional, enthusiastic and a clear communicator making the whole process seamless. Looking forward to working with you again James !

James work tirelessly to secure an outcome for us and the vendor. The greatest compliment is now having bought from James we would absolutely sell with him. He is honest, genuine and builds trust with parties through the purchasing process. Always available and a pleasure to deal with.

This is the second house James has helped us sell. James was most professional, punctual, polite, respectful and attentive before, during and after the marketing campaign. Nothing was too much trouble, he was always generous with his time. I’d happily recommend him.

It was a pleasure dealing with James . He was thoughtful considerate and a good listener and understood our requirements. He delivered on his promise and was always very courteous. My husband and I would definitely use his services again and highly recommend him .

5 stars at least. I can certainly recommend James and his team. He was always professional, prompt with sharing his information about our campaign, and I am very confident that we achieved the best possible outcome. Thanks again James. Its been a real pleasure

My partner and I purchased a house from James and the McGrath team in June 2022. James and the team were awesome through the whole process from inspections, communication throughout and sharing in the celebrations post winning at Auction!
