Your property is worth more with McGrath
“When I set up the company I had a few things that had to be delivered. The first was I wanted to have the best real estate company on the planet. It seemed crazy to aim for anything else. The best people, marketing, resources and Clients. Next I wanted to make a serious difference, to change the way real estate is bought and sold so Customers could trust their agents and enjoy the process. And finally, I mandated that excellence and integrity would never be compromised under any circumstance. Well, there was one more thing. We had to achieve results for our Clients that were without doubt the best they could achieve. I love coming to work every day.�

There are at least 9 good reasons to consider McGrath Property Management. Everything we do is aimed at achieving the best result possible for our valued clients. We look forward to sharing our ideas with you on using these 9 advantages to look after your home.
9 reasons = your peace of mind DNA It’s about trust, tenacity and teamwork. Ever since McGrath began we’ve set out to change the way real estate is looked after. Innovation is in our dna. There is no one size fits all approach. Your needs are unique, and our people will listen to you, and understand what you want to achieve so they can meet and exceed your goals. Database The most sought after black book in the country. When you kick off a rental campaign and your property is circulated to over 29,000 prospective tenants, it’s got to be an unfair advantage for you. The McGrath database lets you access the wealthiest markets in Australia, benefiting from over 20 years of building relationships and management channels. Our unrivalled database maximises the initial rush of competition and delivers the highest returns for you. Marketing Stand out from the crowd. Everyone wants their home to be presented and perceived ahead of all others. Through constant innovation and attention to detail, our superior marketing guarantees your property will make an impact and secure you the best possible return on your investment. Website See click traffic become foot traffic. With McGrath, not only will your property be showcased on Australia’s top real estate websites, it will also be viewed by the highest calibre of prospective tenants in Australia on mcgrath.com.au. However we don’t stop there. We set your property apart even further by offering prospective tenants 24 hours access through our online booking systems. By understanding the needs of the market we generate more interest in your property which means higher returns for you. It’s simple, really. People expectextraordinary

We strive to make a positive impact as we believe you get out what you put in. Relationships Relationships are vital to business.
