Good communication: many real estate agents claim to value good communication with their clients, but they can’t always demonstrate that they deliver.
Winner of the Regional Agent of the Year for 2012 amongst the McGrath network, Steve Farthing is one of those people who ‘walks the talk’. A natural communicator, Steve joined the real estate sector 20 years ago. Since then, Steve says that he has “listened and learnt.” He points out that “expert real estate agents spend more time listening to their clients then talking to them: an effective agent will focus on learning what their client’s individual needs are so they can tailor their services appropriately.”

Over the last 20 years, Steve has put his listening skills to good use. His many years of working closely with clients involved in leasing, buying and selling property in the area have enabled him to develop procedures that facilitate successful real estate transactions. Steve has gained a reputation for developing innovative marketing strategies, identifying purchasing opportunities and providing systematic follow-up services on behalf of his clients. This is one of the reasons Steve enjoys being part of the McGrath real estate team. As he says, “McGrath has an unrivalled reputation for implementing systems that make property transactions as efficient and effective as possible. This is something I’ve sought to provide throughout my many years in real estate.”

Steve also has a great enthusiasm for the area in which he lives and works. A resident of Green Point along with his wife and three children, Steve spent many years as part of the Wyoming Soccer Club where he repeatedly received an award for best-and-fairest player. This will come as no surprise to Steve’s clients, who will have witnessed his commitment to these values in his professional life.

Dear Steve and Amy,

In many years of dealing with the public I have experienced every type of individual god has put on this earth. 70% are full of it, 25% just don’t seem to ever hit the nail on the head. Yet every now and then one is fortunate to meet the 5% who actually get involved, do what they tell you they are going to do and it is an absolute pleasure dealing with those individuals.

Steve Farthing – thank god you are in this 5%, absolutely a joy! Amy – We have been fortunate in dealing with an agent like you.
Thank you both so much.

We felt that a letter of appreciation was warranted for the great work you have done for us in the recent sale of our family home of 34 years. Your friendly but professional attitude to your work has really impressed us throughout the sale process. You may recall that we selected you after receiving appraisals and marketing submissions from the other local agents offering to sell our home at Wyoming. Your presentation and personality were the deciding factors that we based our decision on.

We were reassured throughout the marketing process with your regular updates and feedback after inspections and open homes as the time extended out to 16 weeks, with minimal offers, during a particularly slow market period. At no time did you pressure us to reduce the asking price which gave us the confidence that, in your opinion, it was realistic and attainable.

Our memories of raising our family were forever in our mind during the sale process, along with much emotion, but you always made us feel good about it whenever we spoke to you and you gave us the confidence that it could be done effectively.Please accept our sincere thanks for all of your effort in assisting us to achieve our agreed selling price with the buyers. We are certain that they will love our home as much as we do.We would gladly recommend you to any of our friends and family who want to sell a property in the future with the full knowledge that you would be working for them to get the best price as well as being sympathetic to the buyer’s needs.
You are simply the best!

We first made contact with McGrath Gosford via the domain website. Over the course of 6 months we had viewed a lot of properties through various agents and found some to be unreliable and some outright deceitful.

When we came across Steve Farthing and the McGrath Team we found an agent who obviously wanted the best for his clients but also was pro active in helping a purchaser.Steve was very accommodating to make a time to view properties and also recommended others that may be of interest.

He was always in contact with us and truthful in advising the stages of properties for sale.Throughout our experience with Steve we found someone who was true to his word and someone who I would recommend to anyone looking at purchasing or selling a property.We believe that every home buyer is a potential seller and the first and only agent we would use is Steve.
Thanks.
Nathan and Leslie Jameson

We would like to commend you for your amazing perceptiveness when we were recently looking to buy a property. During our “hunt” we spoke to many agents, told them exactly what we wanted and how much we could spend. Yet, so many didn’t hear us. They directed us with such a ‘hit and miss’ approach to homes that either didn’t suit or were out of our price range.

Yet, you heard the first time, knew exactly what we were looking for, and of course it was you who sold us our property. Many agents should take a leaf out of your book.You’re a true professional, a total gentleman to deal with, and throughout the whole process of buying we felt that you were working not only for your vendor but were also excited you had achieved a good union with your buyer.We were thoroughly impressed with the staff at McGrath.

They are an incredible ‘family’ and we have been extremely happy in all our dealings with them. Congratulations to the McGrath Team – you are the best. Especially – many thanks to you, Steve.
Regards,
Josh Granger
