Tim and his team are exceptional. They were highly recommended and they did not disappoint. We used them out of their normal area and were delighted with the support and the result. Tim's assessment of the market was spot on as was the advice from Kirsty in terms of presentation and marketing. The support from Chris on open days and follow up inspections was also outstanding. Our property was on the market for a week before we sold! Sandra and I are very grateful to Tim and his team for a making a difficult and emotional process as smooth as it was.

Tim's experience and market knowledge was fantastic and he took all the stress out of selling.
The whole team at Team Cullen were amazing. Everyone is so calm and professional. I rang constantly with loads of (probably ridiculous) questions and NOTHING was a problem. Tim's experience and market knowledge was fantastic and he took all the stress out of selling. I was thrilled with my very fast and very pleasing result. Thank you.

We could not be more satisfied with your service...very impressed with professionalism from first meetings with Tim Cullen and Kirsty Hunt, throughout seven individuals attending the property on the day marketing photos were taken at our property, through follow up until we were satisfied with every aspect of that marketing, particularly with the copywriting which we had NOT been satisfied with initially, and through feedback following the web advertising and the ONLY open inspection needed to sell the property, handled extremely professionally by Tim Cullen, Kirsty Hunt and Lincoln McCarthy. We have bought and sold many investment properties during the previous two decades so had firm ideas about wording etc on web, signboard and brochures, all of which were attended to promptly and graciously by Kirsty Hunt. We have obviously been involved with the efforts of many selling and buying agents over recent decades. Comparing McGraths Manly with other agencies’ marketing offers prior to our decision to choose McGraths Manly, there were THREE factors which initially WON the job for McGraths Manly. 1. The brochure ADDRESSED to us PERSONALLY, (which would otherwise have been binned) found in our investment house’ letter box showing selling successes of properties recently sold in the area, which initially drew our attention to the fact that McGraths Manly was the most successful selling agent in the area. 2. Tim Cullen’s commission % marketing cost inclusive of GST, followed by his suggestion to give himself an agreed % of any amount gained OVER the ‘asking price’, ie the lower limit acceptable to us. In previous selling and buying transactions WE have always been the instigators of such incentives for the agent which mean a ‘win-win’ for all –otherwise the scale provides little reason for an agent to strive for a slightly higher sale price. 3. The fact that THREE selling agents would be present at EACH open inspection, not the usual one or two. My husband Grant and I would be happy for this testimonial to be used to promote McGraths, as long as you firstly ensure that the individuals at McGraths Manly who are named in it, are provided in some way with the recognition they deserve, amongst other McGraths agencies for which you act. Kind regards, (Mrs) Robin Halliday

We have felt really looked after!
Between the whole "team Cullen" we have felt really looked after (and being first home buyers, we felt like we were walking in the dark a lot so everyone has held our hand and answered our probably insane questions!). The marketing was very good. The negotiation process was surprisingly easy. We really felt Lincoln was on our side during the negotiation process and it was all done within the space of about 3 hours (on a Saturday) from when we came in to make the offer to when the owner signed the contracts. We highly rate the sales agents and support staff in ‘team Cullen’. They were always a pleasure, really well presented and friendly.

Tim Cullen sold my Queenscliff unit for me and got an excellent result and I will always hold him in high regard for that. I were to be buying a property on the Northern Beaches I would definitely go through Tim Cullen again. Tim is a people's person and makes me feel like I count and I wasn't just another customer. I think Tim did a wonderful job in selling my property and I will always recommend him if I ever hear of anyone wanting to buy or sell in the area.

Our house was sold at the top end of our expectations within 6 days
We chose Tim Cullen at McGrath to sell our house because we felt he would be a great person to have advising us through such an important process. He presented a clear, well thought out strategy to maximise interest in our house and sell it quickly at the best possible price. He guided us carefully through the various stages of preparation, marketing and negotiation. Tim has a great team around him who were friendly and always available to make sure that every stage happened smoothly. Our house was sold at the top end of our expectations within 6 days of the first open house. We couldn't have asked for a better result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tim to others.

You were absolutely the best
I would like to truly express my thanks to both you and Brooke for your help, professionalism, efficiency and speed throughout this whole process. As mentioned to Brooke previously we contacted many real estate companies a few weeks back when I was in Sydney and looking for an apartment. Most other companies were unhelpful and many did not even bother to return our calls, some even verging on the point of being rude and blunt. You were absolutely the best and I would definitely recommend you and Brooke to anyone I know that may be looking for a place in the future. Thanks again and Regards

For a busy person who wants to keep his eyes on the market this facility is brilliant
This unit was my first. It was a very emotional experience. All the staff at McGrath were exceptional. Tim Cullen and Paul Honour deserve a special mention. To be honest I wasn’t 100% sure about selling my property but the price they got for me was unbelievable! I actually now see McGrath as the benchmark for other Real Estate Agents. I personally plan to get back in the market and have a search criteria in the McGrath system that I can always modify to receive automatic alerts. For a busy person who wants to keep his eyes on the market this facility is brilliant. I have no hesitation in recommending McGrath to anyone buying, selling or seeking advice because I now believe they are simply the best.

My wife and I were genuinely impressed with the service we got from Tim and his team, on both sides of the transaction. The whole process was completely transparent and we both feel we were quite lucky to be dealing with Tim and co, particularly when we hear of some of our friends' experiences with others. Highly recommended!

Hi Tim and Team, Monique and I wanted to say thanks so much for the hard work and dedication your team put into selling our house in Ryan Place Beacon Hill. We did a lot of agent research before choosing your team and we were so happy we did. To have a sale before it even went to market was beyond our expectation and the only disappointment is that we didn’t even get to see any of that amazing marketing that you do! I keep using the term team, because when we signed up with Tim we were also signing up with his team, and that made a huge difference. Thanks so much.

They are hard working, great communicators, and most importantly...know how to get the big prices. Outstanding!!!
We have just sold our property with Tim and Bernadette Cullen of McGrath Estate Agents. From the very first minute these guys worked above and beyond our expectations. The entire experience was simply flawless and stress free. It was like sitting back in a recliner watching a really good movie. We never doubted Tim or his team for a minute. In fact to be honest, to start with we were actually just testing the waters and were not even sure we would sell...but Tim got us such an outstanding price we couldn’t say no! We can highly recommend Tim and his team. They are hard working, great communicators, and most importantly...know how to get the big prices. Outstanding!!!

His local knowledge, with many years of experience, extensive client data base & reputation in the area was impressive.
I wish to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to Tim Cullen for his personal commitment and passion in selling my property. His attention to detail, honesty and understanding of the local market was second to none. As a business owner, I really value my time and know how important it is for things to go smoothly. McGrath certainly achieved a great result with a clear plan in a professional manner. Tim presented a well thought out marketing and sales strategy. His local knowledge, with many years of experience, extensive client data base & reputation in the area was impressive. I have used the services of Tim Cullen, McGrath Manly, previously to buy & sell. I wouldn't hesitate to continue using them in future and would strongly recommend Tim to others, it was a pleasure to deal with him.
