Positive experience: Working with Jake was an excellent experience from start to finish. He is extremely easy to deal with, very straightforward, and always clear in his advice and recommendations. Jake took the time to listen, offered practical options without pressure, and adapted easily when needed. His professionalism, accountability, and reliability stood out — he always delivered on his promises. The entire process felt smooth and well‑managed thanks to Jake’s calm, flexible, and responsible approach.

Abhinand Pradeep Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful experience working with Nicole, Grace, and the McGrath Townsville team throughout our rental process. Nicole was extremely professional, responsive, and supportive from start to finish. Every step of the process was explained clearly, all documentation was handled promptly, and everything was completed on time without any delays. Grace was also very helpful and prompt in responding to our queries, ensuring all our doubts were clarified quickly and efficiently. The entire process was smooth and stress-free thanks to their teamwork and dedication. We truly felt supported throughout and would highly recommend Nicole, Grace, and the team to anyone looking for a reliable and professional property management experience.

Toni Baker Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: I was the buyer and Jimmy Lockhart at McGrath was representing the seller, but I’m incredibly grateful our paths crossed over the festive season. After my offer missed out on the first property I pursued, Jimmy could have simply moved on. Instead, he went above and beyond. He took the time to genuinely understand what I was looking for and kept me in mind when the right opportunity came up - which ultimately led me to now pondering this view every afternoon from my balcony. Cheers to you Jimmy! Jimmy resonated with my buyer brief, supported me as a first time buyer, and absolutely nailed my property criteria. In an industry that can often feel purely transactional, Jimmy’s authenticity, transparency, and professionalism truly stands out. At every step, I felt understood, respected, informed and supported (despite not being his client). Jimmy made what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless and positive. I’m incredibly thankful for his integrity and support. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jimmy to anyone buying or selling!

Shane Rutherford Published on Google 3 months ago

Negative experience: I’ve had rental property for over 30 years in different locations and with different agents . My initial business with McGrath sales when buying a property was quite good and at a standard I’d expect . However my experience my with the rental division managing my property was an abysmal nightmare . The lack of professionalism mismanagement and the damages and deterioration of my property forced me to take management myself . My experience is if you’re buying or selling a property give them a go . If you are a property owner wishing to rent your property then avoid them and seek business elsewhere.

Christine Royal Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: Jimmy Lockhart sold my property in Townsville, achieving a higher price than I thought I would get. He was professional, responsive and went the extra mile to ensure the sale went smoothly. He was friendly and approachable. I would recommend him to anyone looking to sell a property. By far, the best real estate professional I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with.

Lester Smith Published on Google 3 months ago

Baron Joye Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Taylor is not your typical real estate agent - in the best way possible! He's an absolute professional, but more than that, he was genuinely authentic in every conversation. He made the entire experience silky smooth and honestly enjoyable. We never felt like just another number and instead, like we were working with someone who wanted to get a great outcome for us. It’s a pleasure to recommend Taylor and we would gladly buy property through him again and hope to do so in the future!

Jennifer Nunan Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Taylor achieved the price range he quoted when I first spoke to him; not only for me but for multiple other properties in the complex. I live in Melbourne and he and Bella arranged EVERYTHING. Liaising with the rental manager and the tenants until they vacated, building inspections, trades for anything that needed to be done (plumbing, smoke alarms, glass) staging and a conveyancer - everything was excellent. They both kept me fully informed at all times. I could not be happier.

LIsa Scharf Published on Google 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: Christian was excellent throughout the purchase of our new home. His knowledge of the property was in depth and provided us with quotes for potential repairs. He answered our questions with honesty and integrity and we felt very informed before making the purchase. We wouldn't hesitate recommending Christian 10/10

Kylie Andrews Published on Google 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Christian Santillana from McGrath Real Estate, and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough! As someone buying property in another state, I was initially concerned about the challenges that would come with it. However, Christian made the entire process seamless. From the very start, his professionalism stood out. He was always responsive and kept me informed at every stage. His communication was excellent, and he truly listened to my needs. Christian went above and beyond, providing recommendations for other service providers in the area, which made the transition even easier. What really impressed me was how approachable and friendly he was. It was clear that he genuinely cares about his clients and is committed to making the buying experience as smooth as possible. His flexibility and willingness to work around my schedule made everything stress-free. If I ever decide to buy again, I would definitely work with Christian. He’s trustworthy, dedicated, and a real asset to McGrath Real Estate!

CATHY TEI Published on Google 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: My experience with Ms Caitlin at McGrath Estate in Townsville in securing a rental property was a 10/10. She went above and beyond to help me secure this property, even when I emailed, messaged or rocked up at her office she greeted me with a big smile or made me feel like I have always known her for a while, even though I just met her. Even the people at the reception were kind and helpful. I am grateful that I came across them. I would recommend them to any one who is doing house hunting.

Andrew Leonforte Published on Google 6 months ago

Would certainly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Christian and Brad truly went above and beyond in assisting us with our interstate move to Townsville.

They are genuine and trustworthy. We will definitely seek to use this agency when/if we sell in the future.

Fantastic experience: My partner and I purchased property through Jimmy at McGrath. The process was prompt and seamless from initial inspection to settlement. I highly recommend Jimmy and the team.

My Linh Tran Published on Google 9 months ago

Negative experience: Not the most professional real estate agent to be honest. We requested for our receipt for 5 days straight with the date on it but never received one, the guy we talked to Arthur Karkanis said the funds were being held but it was supposed to be for our rent ($3200). He kept promising us he would send the document through at the end of the day but never did his job properly. Same with the change of bond contributors, we called initially on Monday and Friday came and still nothing helpful from him. The RTA was way more responsive and sent the documents that were required for us whereas this guy Arthur promised and never delivered. Seriously, this real estate agency needs to look at how they work as I appalled by the service we receive! Unprofessional and unresponsive, would not recommend to anyone at all.

Positive experience: Two guys came to appraise my 200m2, 3 bedroom 12th floor unit. From the start they didn't appear very motivated - quoted some very low sales numbers that had little relevance, said they would get back to me but didn't. Not impressed.

Fantastic experience: We’re so grateful to Tanya for being incredibly helpful, kind, and patient throughout our stressful moving process.

Allan Miller Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Sold my unit easily & quickly without all the open home circus which is the norm. Good price, kept me up to date with where it was at.

Andrew Jansen Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Renting through McGrath Real Estate for the last 12 months has been a stress-free and uncannily enjoyable experience, unlike many companies that focus solely on payment systems and attempt to drag your bond into their coffers with outlandish claims. McGrath Real Estate truly stands out as a cut above the average company by prioritising outstanding customer service in any format, with a focus on staying current via their many online systems, from start to finish, as simple as ordering a pizza. But it doesn't stop there. Whenever I reach out to my realtor, Tanya Archer, or another staff member, I feel valued and respected. Their commitment to tenant comfort and satisfaction truly distinguishes them from the rest. In Summary: -Renting with McGrath Real Estate is a delightful experience. -Their professional and warm demeanour eases the stress of the rental process. -A strong focus on genuine customer service and experience rather than just streamlined payment systems (which is also impeccable). -Formal documentation and handling of maintenance concerns and complaints seem effortless and prioritised promptly.

Top quality service and highly recommended! As a follow-up, I have now sold my property and my positive experiences with rental management also applied to the sale. Jake was friendly, approachable, always kept me in the loop with developments and, most importantly, helped me get my desired outcome. Thanks again to Jake and the wider McGrath Townsville team :)

Middle Pub Accomodation Published on Google 11 months ago

Negative experience: Laced with Deception I regret purchasing a property through this agency and want to share my experience to help others avoid the same pitfalls. The entire process was laced with deception from start to finish. The property was advertised as a 4-bedroom home, but it’s actually 3 bedrooms and a study. The “4th bedroom” has no window, no smoke alarm, and does not meet the legal definition of a bedroom under Queensland law. That’s not a minor oversight—it’s a clear case of false advertising, and possibly a breach of consumer law. We were told to “put our best foot forward” and assured there would be no second chance to increase bids—only to be drawn into a bidding war anyway. The agent blamed the sellers, but as professionals, they would have known this was likely. It felt planned and orchestrated to drive up the price. We were also told there was a tenant ready to move in immediately—this was entirely untrue, and seemed designed to create pressure and urgency. Look—we’re all for sellers getting the highest price, and we’re even happy with what we paid. But when you’re manipulated and lied to, it’s like being cheated, and that’s not a fair or ethical way to do business. I could understand if there was one isolated instance of dishonesty or omission. But when it happens three times in a single transaction, that’s not a coincidence—that’s a pattern. It suggests this kind of behaviour is part of the culture at this agency, and that’s what concerns me most. In my view, conscious choices were made to mislead or withhold key information for personal financial gain. That is not only unethical—it’s potentially illegal. I cannot recommend this agent or agency. Real estate should be built on trust, transparency, and fairness—and unfortunately, we experienced none of those.

SL NICHOLSON Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Jim was phenomenal in helping me sell my property! From start to finish, he was professional, strategic, and incredibly attentive. He provided a detailed market analysis to price the property competitively and suggested different strategies to get the deal done and secure an off market deal in the end. Jim guided me through the negotiation process, securing a sale price within guidance above local market value. He kept me informed at every step and handled each step of the way in a very professional manner. If you’re selling your property, Jim is the agent to trust!"

We truly appreciate your recommendation!

Fantastic experience: 5 Stars no doubt! Moving 1100km is a daunting task but not having to worry about finding a home was such a huge relief… from the first phone call with Honey and being supported the entire journey together with Tanya made the process of moving house seam free! No question was too small or silly and the quick response time to process the documents was very impressive. I know I made the right decision to trust McGrath and would unconditionally recommend to anyone looking to move. Thankyou Honey and Tanya!

Fantastic experience: We are happy to recommend the excellent Service received form both Jake Murphy and Jimmy Lockhart on the recent sale of our house at Kirwan. Previous agents had failed to produce any kind of offer, however McGrath was able to close a sale at an excellent price on a single inspection. During the Under Contract period, Although Jake was away for a few days, every time we needed information, Jimmy was able to jum right in and handle any queries promptly and professionally. We cannot recommend their services highly enough. Many Thanks Chris and Clemencia Thomson

Fantastic experience: Buyer review. We bought of Taylor in April 2025, he was excellent throughout the process. He was transparent, kind and his communication between ourselves and the seller was excellent, even after settlement when we had a few questions. We would highly recommend as buyers or sellers, and as first time buyers, we were thrilled that Taylor (by chance) was the agent. Having been in the market a while and interacted with a few agents, Taylor was a welcome down to earth, honest and clear. No questions were too much and he was able to guide us.

Fantastic experience: Taylor is very professional, knows his market and most importantly, removes all stress in house selling. I had a home which had to be sold quickly. I also had tenants, so I wanted this process to have as little impact on my tenants as possible. Taylor was very accommodating in organizing dates around the tenants needs and understood that I only wished to have a single open home to not drag this out. We received an offer which I accepted and Taylor kept both myself and the tenants up to date. He dealt with any issues that would arise during the contract phase. This man is very professional and most importantly, I found him very ethical and never got the 'snake oil salesman' vibe. He is upfront and honest and should I sell another house I would be more then happy to deal with him again. Thank you Taylor.

Fantastic experience: McGrath have looked after our property since we built new & commenced leasing the property in 2011 they have always been reachable to talk and respond promptly to discuss any concerns, with us directly. The routine inspection and reports are undertaken very diligently and thorougher. We feel we have it in safe hands. We are very appreciative of Nicole’s recent efforts to release our property and look forward to working with McGrath through 2025.

Fantastic experience: We found Brad and the team extremely helpful with the sale of our property. The buyers of the property were quite difficult to work with and Brad helped make the process less painful with regular updates.

Galen Cajigal Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Both my wife and I, we’re very exhausted with trying to locate an apartment that would fit our life style and budget. McGrath Realtor agents Tanya Archer and Nicole Heydenrych came through for us as if they were sent from the heavens and parted the sea, and reached out to us with a property that just came available. Both, the wife and I, researched the property and were just blown away with this property and its location, that we stopped everything that we were doing and diverted our focus to complete all the required paperwork just to secure this property. It’s been a week now and we are still on cloud 9, just knowing that both Tanya and Nicole truly made this dream of living in Townsville a dream that lasts forever. Best Regards Alina & Galen Cajigal

Fantastic experience: I dealt with Tanya Archer from McGrath. My property manager was off for the day so I ended up speaking with Tanya. I had two outstanding queries on my property, Tanya took her time on the phone and went above and beyond to keep me informed. Great customer service from her, highly recommend and her boss definitely needs to give her a pay rise !!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been renting through Tanya Archer at McGrath’s for some time now, and I couldn’t be more impressed with her service. From day one, Tanya has been incredibly professional, approachable, and responsive. Any maintenance issues or questions I had were always dealt with quickly and efficiently. She genuinely cares about her tenants and makes sure everything is in order, which makes renting with her a smooth and stress-free experience. It’s rare to find a property manager who is as dedicated and easy to work with as Tanya. Highly recommend her for anyone looking to rent in the area!

Jessie Nguyen Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We are not usually ones to take the time to write up a review, but it would be a true injustice for Jimmy if we did not reciprocate just a small amount of the time he spent to help us sell our house. We approached Jimmy initially for just a valuation of our property, not at all intending to sell. We were extremely lucky that Jimmy had just sold a property very similar to ours, and was able to capitalise on his clientele to generate interest in ours. In an amazing turn of events, Jimmy was able to note only sell our property within a very short time frame, but he was able to ensure everything went swiftly. It all went so well, that we happened to settle just before Christmas. Having sold properties before, we really valued Jimmy’s level of communication. He always ensured we were aware of what was happening and any interest in our property. Even when there was nothing to report on, he made sure we were left with no questions to be asked. He made selling for us completely stress-free and there could not have been a more seamless transaction – even the existing tenants were happy with the process! We are sad to have sold our property, but are extremely grateful for Jimmy for making the sale exciting and not a burden! We would highly recommend Jimmy to any one of our families and friends. Thanks again Jimmy for all your help. Jessie and Bryce.

Fantastic experience: I chose McGrath Estate Agents Townsville based on their professional service and follow up when searching for an agent. Jimmy Lockhart was very professional and courteous and I enjoyed dealing with him immensely. I was kept up to date and received regular follow ups from him and the rest of the staff on the progression and sale. A seamless sale with a great outcome.

Stella M Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: Dreadful experience with them as a tenant. It would have been better if I had stayed in the caravan park cabin I rented upon arriving in Townsville. Breaches of minimum housing standards that that they took over 6 weeks before taking any action including: - vermin , plus ants crawling all over my wardrobe and bed every day - no food even in purchased at that stage - no curtains in the bedroom - - no running water in the laundry. I ended up fixing this myself - Multiple illegal entries without any notification in breach of legislation. - no full set of keys for both tenants - air conditioning smelt mouldy - toilet and bathroom not cleaned properly. - Dishwasher doesn't work and they have not even looked at the repairer's report or quotes. - So many more items and issues and each time we deal with them nothing happens and it requires continual follow up. Some of these items they were advised about in the last week of July, again early August and after chasing them up they only took action (by logging a job) on the 2 September. As a property owner myself I would never use this company and if the landlord was contactable I would reach out to let him know, unfortunately McGraths put their contact details on the lease in the landlord section. I have rented for over 20 years , in Australia and 4 other countries and I have never experienced anything like the poor service that comes with McGraths.
