"Paul and his team at McGrath Group have been nothing but impeccable for the years we have engaged them."
Paul and his team at McGrath Group have been nothing but impeccable for the years we have engaged them. From the immaculate and caring management of our rental property for over a decade, to when the time came to sell, the service and advice we have received has been second to none. The sale felt complicated by our relocation to NSW, so it wasn't a decision made without some anxiety, but I should not have feared in the slightest. We started with another rental management firm the first handful of years, who then transitioned to McGrath, so it feels like fate we ended up with this team. It was like chalk and cheese. The communication is amazing, issues were resolved seamlessly and their online management systems is a godsend. We were fortunate we had the same tenant the whole 13 years, but that pays testimony to the care they received from McGrath. Many a tenant has moved on because of a poor property manager, but even though we did change managers a handful of times it illustrates the culture of the business that we never had an issue with any, and that the tenant stayed on speaks volumes. But the true accolades come from the moment we decided it was time to sell. From the first phone call I knew we were in good hands. I flew over to see the place for the first in that 13 years, Paul met me and we went over what would be the best options to sell the unit to get best return on the investment. There were things I had in my head that Paul advised against because of his understanding of what buyers want, and then suggested things that were cheap inputs that had never crossed my mind. He handed me a folder with recent sales, talked frankly about price expectations, and suggested a subcontractor to contact to provide a quote - a suggestion that proved worth its weight in gold from price and then execution. There were a couple of items that needed the personal attention I wasn't able to provide from Sydney, Paul offered to take these on and I am so grateful for that. The property sold the first week on the market - for 100k more than we had in our mind when we set out to sell. It went on the market on a Wednesday and we signed the following Wednesday, after Paul weaved his magic to get the offer at the top of our range. As a first time seller, there was so much I didn't know nor understand about the process. Paul was always there, calling to check in, update and encourage - I never felt overwhelmed, which I did buying the place, and then again buying my current residence five years ago. He asked for and provided information and documentation in a way that made sense and prepared me for the next stage, not the piece meal, "Sign this", "Did you get that form?" "No, not yet [and then not providing a timeline on when]" way of past agents, dripped and drabbed over different days and different conversations. I can't express enough thanks to you Paul, for your guidance and attention to detail, plus a good laugh, while I whirled around like a dervish. If SA real estate is ever in my cards again you will be my first port of call.

"Fantastic 'above and beyond' service level"
We met Paul McGrath about 10 years ago when we purchased a property through our SMSF from him in Seacliff. He was the ultimate professional ensuring that he did not just work for the vendor to gain the ultimate outcome, but a rapport was built from us as the buyer perspective from our purchase and we knew we had met someone within the Real Estate industry we could trust for future purchases and/or the sale of our properties. We contacted Paul a couple of years ago about selling our SMSF property in Seacliff. Paul told us ""he could sell it tomorrow"". However, he communicated he believed the market still had some serious gains to be made and 2 years later in July 2025 we will be selling the Seacliff property with Paul (currently an agreement signed ready to sell in late August) at what will be a substantially higher price than 2 years ago . Paul has kindly guided us through the myriad of challenges and stress that can be part of the process of selling or buying property making the outcome- honest, simple, and focused in every aspect. His knowledge is next level due to his experience in the Real Estate space and commitment to gain the best outcome with simple truths that others have not provided in the past. Over committing and under delivering to get the listing. We understand that the end result is what the current available base/market is prepared to pay. Paul also understands this but still uses every tool to gain the best result. We are certain even before the sale of the property at Seacliff that the outcome will be beneficial and look forward to adding an additional testimonial after the property settles. To 'frame' this level of service Paul has provided information was communicated on the need for 'Power of Attorney' required as part of the sale for the Conveyancer within our SMSF as my wife will be overseas when the property sells and may not have mobile data. Paul also suggested the need to contact the Conveyancer now to ensure document's that require pre-signing are in place. Last year Paul sold an investment property , outside of super and 8 years old, for us in St Clair and it was such an easy process that achieved a record price within that complex in just 3 days at the very 'high' range of offers to be considered from Paul's understanding to not go too high in advertising and scare 'real' buyers away. We have our home in Glenelg North that we will sell at some point and have no hesitation in asking Paul or one of his other highly trained Associates to sell it and will continue to refer our friends and family to this business for the payment of a fair commission rate and other costs associated with the sale for a fantastic 'above and beyond' service level. Congratulations to the entire team at Paul McGrath.

"I knew my sale was in safe hands with Paul as my agent."
I sold my Plympton property through Paul and cannot recommend him highly enough to any prospective sellers. He was responsive, upfront with his advice, and handled the sale seamlessly. Paul knows the market and was able to position my property for quick success - with a contract for sale signed within a few short days of first listing the property. As an interstate seller, I knew my sale was in safe hands with Paul as my agent.

"Cannot thank Paul enough for his advice over the years."
Paul has supported us since we purchased a SMSF property in Seacliff 9 years ago & has recently sold our investment property in St Clair for a record price by $15k within the complex from a sale in May 2023 to a sold property in 3 days with only one open by Pauls & his team professional and focus on win/ win for buyer & us as the seller. Cannot thank Paul enough for his advice over the years. His business will definitely be selling our property in Seacliff when we decide to retire.

"They are very professional and friendly, and it is easy to have business with them"
I highly recommend McGrath. They are very professional and friendly and it is easy to have business with them. I bought a house with them and am very happy with their services. Everything went very smooth and it was a fast and fair sale. They also helped me to find affordable renovators to make some improvements before renting this property. Now McGrath is my property management company.

"Paul McGrath responded promptly to all my phone calls and kept me updated with the progress"
I recently purchased a property through McGrath Real Estate, Glenelg East office, and as I am currently interstate it was all handled by phone/email. Paul McGrath responded promptly to all my phone calls and kept me updated with the progress. His staff were also friendly, helpful and efficient. I would recommend this Real Estate office.

"Excellent every step of the way"
Paul was excellent every step of the way from arranging an inspection of the property to providing all the information I needed to make an offer, to keeping me in the loop re the owner's response to the offer. Once my offer was accepted Paul was very professional with helping me with the documentation for purchase. He was prompt in the handover on settlement day. I can recommend Paul McGrath as an excellent real estate agent.
About Paul McGrath
To me, real estate is a family venture, as has been for the many clients I've worked with during my 35+ years in the industry in Glenelg.
Having taken ownership of the company created from the ground up by my father, Ray McGrath, I have continued his tradition by personally completing thousands of property sales in this sought after part of Adelaide.
What I find most satisfying is that a major percentage of my sales leads have come from personal referrals, something I attribute to holding …
