McGrath Estate Agents Reviews

Unethical. Chose them as agents and they then linked my ex husband to a dodgy loan company called Sure Funder. I froze our mortgage account to prevent this sort of irresponsible lending. By law both owners have to sign, but not with this lot. A loan, without notifying me as co -owner, and payable upon settlement- raise $61 500 without my knowledge. Then went on to produce an invoice to my conveyancing solicitor of $33 000 a couple of hours before settlement, as my ex husband held me to ransom to pay half. Stay away from this company if you are getting divorced - it's a boys club.

Oh dear I have never been a client of McGrath Leasing at North Lakes Brisbane but what a shambles from these Leasing agents. I own and reside in a body corporate complex of 44 townhouses and we have had continuous trouble with tenants in two different townhouses which are very near me. One had numerous people coming and going there at all hours of the day and night with noisy unregistered cars and motorbikes. Fights at 2.45am with glass being smashed where we had to call the police. Suspicious people and blatant drug deals at the front of said premises. I have a security camera as do many residents around here and another of McGrath tenants next door to me a very scary man abused me one day and said my camera was spying on him and I wasn't allowed outside my own house! I reported this to the police and made a statement. Every time I email McGrath North Lakes they usually fail to answer except for one very helpful lady there, I give her the one star rating as she was the only one in the company that cared about how these horrible tenants they installed disturbed our lives for 3 months and made it awful to own a townhouse here. Thankfully these ill chosen tenants seen to have departed. A man in a McGrath marked car was here on Monday and went to said townhouses, he was abrupt when I said hello and his behaviour was suspicious in itself. McGrath North Lakes need to take a hard look at themselves and their choice of some tenants as I do not to denigrate some of the great tenants we have in our unit complex. The man who was here on Monday is I believe a sales agent with McGrath, so to him I say us owners have taken note of your attitude whilst you were here and when we go to sell ourselves we won't use your services.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS This company is disgraceful. The South Yarra office are the most deceptive people I have met. Especially that Sean Broadbent guy. Stay away

I have a unit in Neutral Bay that is managed by Jessica Barnes at McGrath in Neutral Bay. I am currently back in the UK for family reasons. Jessica Barnes keeps me informed regarding any issues with my unit. I would highly recommend McGrath in Neutral Bay. Veronica

Have been waiting for now 4weeks to get our bond back,and still nothing. Was told last Thursday we would get a email before the weekend about the bond and still nothing.every time we have gone in to talk about it we just keep getting told the lady is buy's or the they are waiting for the owner of the flat. Which I find really rude and not baseness right

So i cancelled a 2 night stay in shoal Bay Unit 5 3-11 shoal towers and received an email to ask for my bank details which i gave them I then wassent an SMS to say your refund would be issued in 7-10 Buisness days Not one communication from them for the next 8 business days i checked each day to see if I had received an SMS or email to say your refund has been issued to you for this amount ( Nothing found) on the 8th day i noticed on my bank statement my refund had been sent second day after my cancellation I found the reception to be unprofessional extremely disconnected from a customer only interested in getting you off the phone no other helpful info about why they did not let me know about my refund My first call about the refund was met with giggling childish laughter, like my call was a big joke basically, this business employs immature uncaring children to take calls from customers with no attempt to be helpful and supportive about your enquiry ( Refund) in this case, also my booking had no detail of my original transaction and payment that was made 6 months prior so i had no idea of what the transaction amount ( on booking.com) which was half of what i thought i had paid in October 2023 a bit unsettling till i was informed that i had paid 50% of the full tariff which i had no receipt for to view 2 stars is a bit much but at least they did refund me my original payment so worth 2 stars for that alone

McGrath Port Stephens Natalie (Holiday Property Manager) looked after the rental of my holiday unit in Salamander Bay. She was always available and did an excellent job returning a high occupancy rate. After 12 months I decided to sell the unit and once again McGrath did a great job selling the unit for the price I wanted. 10/10.

I oath God & my mother, the Principal Shaun Broadbent is surely by far the worst human I ever met in my entire life, in every way. He has extremely dangerous, dark side as well as criminal side. He has left me in total nervous breakdown and end of my rope; so I thought I msg everyone as final resort. He uses gift of gab to fool in first impressions and in reality, he is totally out of control in criminal mindset. Summary of the Scam that they do to scam Landlord & Tenants 1. Keep tormenting me needlessly so I move out (so can do this insurance scam and charge advertising/let fee). 2. Do Exit Report before I even moved out or returned keys (I was just 1 day late) 3. Get quotes from kick-backs friend home-suburb in Western Surburbs Area who has zero online presence (other side of town; house in Balaclava) for titanic $40k. 4. Use Fake Exit Report each time and Quote from Werribee friend “Handyman” to scam insurance company, then AGAIN double-dip by going to Vcat for same thing.

THE WORST AGENT I'VE EVER DEALT WITH SHAUN BROADBENT We are off to VCAT and I am claiming thousands of dollars in compensation for a squalid flat that was uninhabitable on day one. Email below - Please Read: Hearing scheduled for R2021958/00 210/243 Franklin Street, MELBOURNE, VIC, 3000 Sean, As the applicant, you must explain the issues in the application form. I'd hoped you'd have covered this at some point. You need to send a copy of your application form within seven days of submitting it to VCAT with explanations for each section. I expect these within the next 48 hours, via email. All you have provided is three untruthful statements about removing the mould, when you clearly state in writing 'I do not need to attend to these matters'. And don't forget the metadata on your, again untruthful photos, that clearly state when they were taken - months before I moved in. You also agreed over the phone the flat had not been cleaned at all, which my numerous photos demonstrate. Would you like copies of such data, or do your IT skills reach such a level you can obtain such information? Based on the section below: 238(1)–premises destroyed or unfit “...the date which may be the date on which the notice is given or a later date.” I intend to vacate on 16/11/2020 because the premises are unfit for human habitation, or totally destroyed, or damaged so much that they are unsafe. I am legally allowed to end the tenancy immediately; I owe you nothing. Alternatively, to be presented to VCAT are (amongst others): numerous emails of me trying to get assistance, and your ignorance. police report of violent threats from Vallos cost of repairs of electronics due to the flooding you ignored with relevant reports and invoices. cost of alternate accommodation. medical evidence of the illness I contracted because of the flat's squalid conditions. your fraudulent signing of my initials on the inspection report. professional evidence as to the condition of the flat and strong recommendation I do not reside there given its state of disrepair. Given the untrustworthy nature of McGrath South Yarra, I will be represented by a solicitor - feel free to ask me for their details. They certainly know yours and your reputation. The amount currently owing to me, Jonathan Clark, for the damage, alternate accommodation, etc., caused by your numerous errors and breaches, sits at 5412 AUD. Naturally there is more to add to this amount including all rent paid and the entire bond. This document has also been posted online as a warning to others to avoid your company and allow them to beware of your lack of ethics and due care.

Mc Grath Real Estate Agent Cronulla are incompetent, unprofessional and lie to vendors. They work for the buyer and not the vendor. A standard contract is 90 days, but Mc Grath Cronulla manually change contracts to be 90 days from auction date. After being sacked for incompetence Mc Grath Cronulla refuse to cancel the contract. I urge any prospective sellers to contact any other Real Estate Agent and never think of using Mc Grath Cronulla!
