Dedicated, professional and highly motivated, Todd Bates has acquired a reputation for excellence in real estate. A fully licensed real estate agent and a qualified auctioneer, Todd’s record is exceptional. In the 10 years he’s spent in his profession, Todd has been ranked among the top five percent of all salespeople nationwide. In his previous company, Todd was recognised as one of its top 20 agents. Given his success, Todd was appointed Sales Director and took on responsibility for mentoring 13 agents. Ask Todd what he valued most about this role and his answer is unequivocal; he says “I loved being in a position to raise standards – it’s something I feel passionate about.” Indeed, Todd’s determination to deliver real estate services of the highest calibre led him to his current role as Managing Principal at McGrath Port Macquarie.

Specialising in property in Port Macquarie, Wauchope, Lake Cathie/Bonny Hills and surrounding areas, Todd’s reputation as a salesperson is unrivalled. When helping clients sell property, Todd’s communication skills really come to the fore. He says “I know how stressful selling can be, that’s why I’m committed to keeping my clients fully informed about every aspect of the sales process. When selling property, I make sure my clients receive clear, straight-forward analysis of the current property market. I also ensure that they’re fully informed about the strategy we use to market their home. I think it’s vital to provide clients with feedback from prospective buyers after they’ve inspected a client’s home and I involve clients in discussing the techniques we can use to achieve the best possible sales result. I’m a real believer in the value of face-to-face contact with my clients and I maintain this until settlement.”

Having attracted a loyal client base among those he’s assisted with property sales, Todd also gets great feedback from those he’s helped with property purchases. Known for his hard-work and diligence, Todd provides potential buyers with constant, up-to-the-minute information about properties entering the market. His expert knowledge of property in the Port Macquarie region allows him to give clients reliable advice about the market. Taking a “relaxed, no-pressure approach” with buyers, Todd has gained a reputation as an honest and ethical negotiator.

Passionate about real estate, McGrath is an ideal fit for Todd. He notes that “at its best, real estate is all about service. In my decade in real estate I’ve occasionally seen poor professional practices and lax service. In contrast, McGrath is all about delivering the best possible service and raising professional standards. As a result, I feel like I’ve found my professional home.”

David and myself want to thank you and your team for selling our property for us. You kept us informed every step of the way in a caring and professional manner and you sold our house in 3 days. We can recommend McGrath Real Estate to anyone. Thanking you once again - Helen and David Jones.

McGrath - Our selling experience when we decided to sell our Unit at The Heritage we asked a friendwho lives in Port Macquarie -" what Agent should we use"? She simply said that from her observations- it was McGraths who seemed to be getting the “Sold” signs to happen quickly.

Todd and Keith came to give us an appraisal of our unit and we instantly "liked" their professional, friendly attitude. Admittedly, at first I was very skeptical about their recommendation to have an auction and not a set selling price. Richard, on the other hand thought that was just great because he could relate it to the livestock auctions where the buyers have to set the market.

"The Heritage" being the iconic building it is deserved the best marketing. The short, sharp campaign that Todd and Keith designed certainly worked for us. Top quality advertising, well timed and placed, combined with open houses and on-line networking gave the unit a lot of exposure.

For us, it was very important that we "liked" the people who were to sell something that is very special to us. We also wanted to feel we could communicate openly and honestly and that there would be mutual trust.

After every inspection we were given detailed feedback. The communication was excellent - we were never left wondering "what's happening"? I could not believe that in 35 days from listing the unit that it sold.

In all aspects of our selling experience McGrath’s have been very professional and reliable. But apart from that they were also sensitive to the fact that selling something special to you is a very emotional experience. If ever we buy or sell again we will be calling on them - yes we "liked" them!

This note is to formally thank you and the McGrath team for the wonderful service and pain-free experience in the marketing and VERY quick sale of our home.

Given the relative unique style of our home, we thought it may take some time to find the right buyer at the right price. However, the ultra-professional marketing campaign, extensive McGrath database and your own enthusiasm and hard work, saw that we had several offers from various groups, exchanged within one week and achieved a sale price we were extremely happy with.

We really appreciate how you were always available to speak with us and your pleasant, open manner made it a pleasure working with you.

We wish you all the very best with your business and we are confident that your dedication, professional integrity and genuine passion for real estate combined with the great team around you will ensure every success for McGrath Port Macquarie.

Many thanks,

Trisha & Steve Mitchell

We had a very positive experience working with McGrath Real estate while selling our home in Bonny Hills. Todd Bates and Sue Jogever demonstrated outstanding knowledge and professionalism from the start of the marketing campaign until the end. They had a clear plan to sell our home from the start and were incredibly friendly and honest throughout the process. We were eager to see how the marketing campaign worked and genuinely felt that our home had a point of difference from others in the area because of this well planned campaign. In fact, they sold our home even quicker than anticipated. We found Todd and Sue to be warm, approachable and very professional. Sue was such a pleasure to deal with during the marketing campaign, she always consulted with us and went out of her way to help us whenever we had questions. This made this potentially stressful time far easier. Todd was open and honest when negotiating with buyers. He allowed us room decide for ourselves when it was needed and we felt respected at all times. We would certainly recommend McGrath Real Estate.
