“I recently sold my house in Alexandria via auction with McGrath. Brad’s knowledge of the local market and relationships with homeowners in the area gives him great insight into market trends, valuation and timing. I think he knows most people on our street and is well regarded in the area. All this made the choice of agent for the sale an easy one. He was also very helpful in helping me access a builder and stylist to help refresh the house for a quick and effective sale campaign. It really felt like a one stop service and I had no hesitation in taking Brad’s advice on how best to present the property. All in all, I’m a very happy customer.”

From day one I was most impressed with Brad and Irene’s attention to detail and local knowledge, this coupled with their focused and positive attitude ensured the process was as stress free as possible for me whilst maximising the likelihood of a good result. I have every confidence the marketing plan Brad presented to me and implemented ultimately paid dividends as did their commitment and professional approach. They attended photo sessions, asked questions and had an excellent feel for the home heading into the first open inspection, they both kept in contact with me regularly until settlement was finalised. I have no hesitation in recommending Brad and Irene to any vendor.

“We’re writing to say a huge ‘thank you’ for the professional and friendly way in which you handled the sale of our home in Malcolm Street, Erskineville. After meeting with several agents in the area, we are so glad we went with our instincts in choosing you to represent us. From the first meeting both Gary and I felt very comfortable dealing with you; you were able to give us straight answers to all our questions. Your campaign generated a phenomenal amount of interest which led to us achieving a price that far exceeded our expectations. Thanks again Brad, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services to our friends. We wish you all the very best for the future.”

Client Feedback When the time came to sell this property, we spoke to Brad and got a very clear appraisal of the market and how he thought the property would perform. With years of local experience, knowledge and contacts in Alexandria, we felt confident Brad would be able to get the result we were after. The sales campaign and contract process was simple and straight forward, and Brad was always honest and straight forward to deal with, which has not always been our experience with agents. As it turned out, we got a better than expected result and we were very pleased with the way Brad managed the process. We would certainly recommend Brad and his team to anyone in the market.

Alexandria - Alan and Madelyn My husband and I have had the pleasure of engaging Brad Gillespie as both buyers and vendors. Brad was selling one of the homes on my short list. I instantly liked his low key and sincere nature. Many of the real estate agents in the Inner West talk up prices that they often don’t achieve on auction day. But Brad was realistic, and I liked his hype-free approach. So when the time came to sell it was a forgone conclusion that we would approach Brad to be our real estate agent. Throughout the entire process, he kept us informed and most importantly, realistic about what we might get on auction day. We felt in very safe hands with Brad and he sold our home for an excellent price. I would strongly recommend Brad Gillespie and McGrath to any prospective buyers or sellers.

Alexandria - Hannah We are very satisfied with the quality of service we received from Brad and Irene in selling our Erskineville home. The professionalism they demonstrated through the marketing period and at auction significantly reduced the stress and concerns we had when deciding to sell and the regular communication we had with them during the marketing period ensured we were always up to date with their thoughts and understanding of market conditions. With the assistance we had from Brad and Irene we were able to manage the preparation of our property for sale from interstate without feeling the need to visit prior to or at any time during the marketing campaign.

Erskineville - Juili and Jeremy I am writing to thank you for managing the sale of my terrace in Erskineville. I want to commend you on your hard effort and the professional manner in which you conducted the sale. I appreciated the way you kept me informed of what you were about to do and reassured me at every step about what I could expect. Your manner was very calm and calculated and as a result you were able to achieve my objective which was to receive a suitable market price for the sale of my house within the set timeframe. I also appreciated your honest, transparent and easy going approach which I am sure the buyers also appreciated. You were always available for questions and extended yourself beyond expectation. Your assistant Irene Do was also very efficient and helpful at all times.I was so impressed with your high quality service that I would highly recommend you to my friends and if I was to need your services in the future I would have no hesitation in calling on you again.
