"Having dealt with Phillip through my property styling business I already had insider knowledge as to his professionalism, integrity and incredible work ethic/commitment to the sales process. However to actually experience it on the sale of my own property was something else.   Phillip’s superior communication skills ensured I was kept informed every step of the way, which took the stress out of what is usually quite a stressful process.  He was able to secure media editorials and internet show casing that gave my property maximum exposure to the market.   Phillip’s experience and excellent negotiation skills enabled him to close the deal quickly achieving an outstanding result – I got the price I was asking in 19 days in a very difficult market, where the previous weekend saw an auction clearance rate on the Northern Beaches of just 20%.   The other really impressive thing about Phillip is that nothing is ever too much trouble and he is now providing me with valuable advice on purchasing a property. Congratulations Phillip on a job really well done and I look forward to working with you on my future property transactions." Cherie White

"They say it’s not the end result that matters; it is how you get there. Well, in this case the end result mattered very much and how we got there was truly the key to a wonderful outcome for all concerned. We were very impressed with how professional Phillip was in the marketing and sale of our home. Ken and I both felt great communication coupled with his ability to really listen to 'us' as vendors made the whole stressful process more bearable. Phillip took into account we have a 2 year old child, so tailored the opens and second inspections around our family's needs. One of the big differences we found with Phillip was that we were not just another house to sell. He completely understands the personal nature behind selling someone’s home and showed genuine respect and understanding. He knew what we wanted for our home where other agents valued it more conservatively. Phillip accepted our expectations on the final figure and believed in it. Long story short we got what we wanted. We had the inspection in the morning with the home being signed, sealed and delivered the same day. We have no hesitations in recommending Phillip in any Real Estate process. The reason I say any process is as Phillip is currently assisting us in securing our next family home. All business aside, we have made a wonderful friend in Phillip." Connie & Ken

"Thank you very much for all of your assistance with the purchase of the above property. From the moment we walked into the property we were very impressed with your professional nature and willingness to assist us in any way possible.  We did not feel pressured in any way and we felt very comfortable when dealing with the proposed purchase.  You always responded promptly to any enquiry regardless of time and day and provided us with an honest opinion of questions asked. We found you the most personable and professional agent we have come across in our search for our property and can’t be happier with the outcome. We would recommend yourself and the McGrath experience to any person looking at buying or selling a property. Thanks again for making the purchase of our home even more exciting and memorable." Julianne & James

"Our dealing with Phillip Wright was nothing short of excellent. After a failed 12 week campaign and being left with a large marketing bill, we were rather despondent and exhausted from all the open house inspections. Having been looking to purchase a property for around 6months we had met Phil at many an open home he was viewing. From then we built a relationship with him and could see how he really worked for the vendor by getting to know “real” potential buyers well. I truly feel this is an important key quality that he has. We could see how he works really hard at pushing together a sale and keeps in contact, frequently with buyers. We knew this from how hard he was aiming to sell a property to us. Having this insight in to how Phillip operates was then no question as to the end of our campaign that we would sell with him. I was down and out after 12 weeks, when Phillip said “give me the property for 2 weeks and I will have it sold by day 10.” I thought big call. Day 9, deal was done. I had told him don’t come back to me unless it’s concrete. I didn’t want to keep getting my hopes up. Knowing it was a sensitive time in December right before Christmas and the current market conditions, he was straight to the point. Giving him that tough 2 week deadline proved he did nothing short of thrive on it. I can say, honestly, that I would without question call upon Phillip Wright to sell my property again. He was completely focused on our property for that time period. He was open for longer when he had large groups through. He wasn’t rushing off to another open house. He was available to speak with when needed. I knew he was on it and all over it to sell our home at the best price he could get. Thank you again Phil for all your effort and hard work. You were exactly what we expected from our agent." Amy & David McWilliam

"I would like to thank the staff at McGrath for their professional and courteous service in managing my property and in the subsequent sale. In particular Phillip Wright who was instrumental in achieving the sale of my property under very difficult market conditions and other challenges within a complex sales process. At all times Phillip has been the consummate professional, and often going above and beyond normal expectations to provide an exceptional service level. His efforts were greatly appreciated as I live in France and the distance and time zone issues were not a problem for Phillip. I would recommend Phillip and the team at McGrath to anyone wishing to have an investment property managed or sold. Their service is exceptional. Well Done. !!!" Tony

"Phillip was efficient, exacting and thorough with the marketing material and the process. He was in contact daily with updates and progress with potential buyers. At all times, I felt comfortable and confident that Phillip was doing everything in his power to extract the best offer from the potential purchasers. The end result was a good offer in a tough market, and an efficient, relatively stress free sales process." Amanda Conner
 

"We met Phillip inspecting another property and were so impressed with his integrity and approachable manner that we chose him for our sale. The best decision we could have made! Phillip was involved from start to finish. He was generous with his advice to ensure we achieved the best marketing and presentation of the home. He was patient, thoughtful and diligent with his input and made the marketing and inspection process a reassuring and highly organised one. His attention to detail ensured our home was presented immaculately and his thoughtful, caring nature and regular communication made us feel like he was our partner in selling our home. From exchange to settlement he continued to expertly represent us and personally addressed any issues that needed attention. Phillip Wright has exceeded all expectations we could have had of our agent and we can´t imagine choosing anyone else to sell a home of ours in future!" Steve and Jenni Cole
