Paul McGrath

Director / Property Consultant

To me, real estate is a family venture, as has been for the many clients I've worked with during my 35+ years in the industry in Glenelg.

Having taken ownership of the company created from the ground up by my father, Ray McGrath, I have continued his tradition by personally completing thousands of property sales in this sought after part of Adelaide.

What I find most satisfying is that a major percentage of my sales leads have come from personal referrals, something I attribute to holding myself to exceptional client service standards.

With integrity, professionalism and transparency playing a significant part in my unique approach to business, I am passionate about real estate and committed to delivering a superior level of service to all my clients.

As a proud, lifelong resident of the Holdfast Bay area, I am highly involved in my community, including my beloved Glenelg Golf Club. As a keen sportsman across genres and an A-grade golfer, I live near the beach in Brighton with my wife Lisa - our two children Jack and Remy have recently moved out but luckily live close by.

It is my goal to lead by example as I aim to enjoy the best of both worlds by demonstrating that a work life balance can be the key ingredient to success in building customers for life.

If integrity, transparency and a high level of service are important to you, call me TODAY!!

I recently purchased a property through McGrath Real Estate, Glenelg East office, and as I am currently interstate it was all handled by phone/email. Paul McGrath responded promptly to all my phone calls and kept me updated with the progress. His staff were also friendly, helpful and efficient. I would recommend this Real Estate office.

- Josie Nigro

Thanks Paul for your professional and honest service. You made the whole process a lot easier than anticipated.

- Craig Watson

Excellent service. I have been dealing with Paul’s team for my investment rental for some time. They were amazing in dealing with my tenants and managing the property. I then decided to sell. Paul was highly professional, clearly experienced and maximised my sale (50k more than my maximum range). I am extremely happy and would not hesitate in recommending them for both property management or sales. If you’re after a seamless, professional and excellent communication, save yourself the headache and go with them.

- Tiffany Baali

Purchased house and now rent it out with them, now only want to buy next house with them. Need more stock to sell.

- Grant Allison

Assistance "above and beyond" in managing house purchase in Adelaide and support on relocation from interstate. Excellent communication skills and clearly an expert in supporting purchaser - as well as seller. Would highly recommend.

- Gordon Cadzow

From the very first meeting Paul put us all at ease with his knowledge, experience and his get down to business attitude. Simply the best agent I've had the pleasure dealing with and always kept us up to date with what was going on at all times. Paul sold the house within weeks and made the sale of the property seamless and without stress. Thank you Paul

- Jane Tuohy

My brother and I engaged the services of Paul to sell the family home in Glengowrie. From the first meeting Paul presented a thoughtful and professional plan to affect the sale of the property. He went through the procedures in a quiet yet confident manner answering our questions as we progressed. Communications were clear and precise throughout the marketing period till the sale was finalised resulting in happy buyers and vendors. I would recommend McGrath Real Estate Group, Glenelg and in particular Paul McGrath to anybody thinking of selling their property.

- Phil Wass

I bought my house from Paul and he was so professional and knew exactly what he was doing and explained everything that I needed to know about buying a new house.. I then used him as my agent to sell my home and he was prompt and very professional.. I highly recommend him if you are selling or buying property

- Maria Spoleti

Paul was excellent every step of the way from arranging an inspection of the property to providing all the information I needed to make an offer, to keeping me in the loop re the owner's response to the offer. Once my offer was accepted Paul was very professional with helping me with the documentation for purchase. He was prompt in the handover on settlement day. I can recommend Paul McGrath as an excellent real estate agent.

- Dianne Coady

Buying a first home was very confusing and daunting at first. Meeting Paul at an open inspection and then dealing with him throughout the offer/ buying the property was a relief. He was able to explain everything clearly and was very honest throughout the whole process. I thank Paul for his help and advice, including after hours when required. Paul and his team did a wonderful job even throughout the COVID-19 restrictions. Paul, thank you again.

- Thomas Doak

McGrath Real Estate are not a one man show, they have an absolute fantastic team all working together to get the job done. Each and every property manager is well organised and dedicated to their job. If you need a sale agent, Glenn Pagano and the team are the ones to go to! I highly recommend McGrath and the team!

- Daniel Scali

He constantly kept us up to date on what was happening with our property throughout the whole sale process. Living interstate did not hinder this process whatsoever. I found him to be completely open and honest with the price guide and this was reflected in what the property went for. He was great in dealing with our tenants as well and went out of his way to also make the process a smooth one for them. I would highly recommend Paul if you were considering a real estate agent.

- Megan Miller

Selling a property while overseas is very daunting, but Paul McGrath made everything go through so very smoothly. His excellent communication (and that of his valuable staff when he was not available) qualmed any nervousness we may have had with the whole process. At all times we knew what the situation was, and what our requirements were. He was able to successfully negotiate a sale price that satisfied us and the purchaser, and handled situations with existing tenants in the property on our behalf. We thoroughly recommend Paul and his staff. We will be selling again in July and will definitely be using Paul again.

- John & Janet Baxter

I have had Paul McGrath Real Estate sell 2 properties now and have had great success with both, first one by auction. The second home which Paul just sold to a buyer who came to the first open could not have happened without Paul's support and help in getting the property ready for sale as I was overseas at the time. Paul and his team are highly professional at everything they do from start to finish. The communication from Paul and his team is always fantastic, even while I was overseas and in all the conversations with Paul he is up front, honest and supportive in what direction the sale process should go. I would highly recommend Paul and his team to anyone wanting to sell their home.

- Vel Maksimovic

Paul has sold 3 houses for me over the years and his skills and professionalism cannot be questioned. His attention to detail is exemplary and I have always got the opinion that my well-being was in his main interest. Although a very busy person he was very well organised in meeting all his commitments relating to the sale. I had a bad experience with the sale of a previous property and lost faith in the real estate industry but the way Paul handled this sale has convinced me that there are at least some agents who genuinely care about their clients. I have every confidence in recommending Paul McGrath as a top agent who does his utmost to get the best outcome for a property seller.

- Geoffrey Forrest

Paul McGrath has assisted me with buying a small property in Plympton. He is a fabulous presenter and negotiator; no task is too complex or a bother for him: he solves every problem swiftly as it arises. He provided adequate and very sound advice about refurbishments that worked out cheaper for me than I had anticipated. After the sale, Paul came over to check up on things and successfully fixed a gas and security alarm issue. He provided help with tradespeople who turned out to be just as fast working as himself. I would recommend Paul McGrath to anyone who is looking for an honest, no nonsense and very kind broker/agent. He knows how to listen and makes you feel respected in your needs as he answers all your questions and provides useful suggestions for your associated needs with moving. It is the little "extra bit" you get when dealing with Paul McGrath: his peoples' skills are remarkable. He is there for you whenever you make contact. Thank you Paul!

- Mariana Amar

Paul is a gentleman who made the selling experience seamless. His personable and affable nature gave me confidence in his ability to sell our house. I heard it in the first phone call I made. What has probably stood out most is his after sales service. His experience is vast and his negotiating skills are a major strength. He does well there because he has that rare ability to get his point across in a very convincing and respectful manner. He was transparent throughout the whole process and is someone I would recommend with great confidence. Thanks Paul.

- Damian Creazzo

In June 2017 we sold out house and we used Paul McGrath from McGrath Real Estate as our agent. The house was sold in 11 days for a very good price. I am writing this reference to give credit where credit is due. Paul is no doubt a good real estate agent and skilled in his job, but I thought what clearly stood out about him were four things. 1. Paul proved to be a trustworthy man and I could believe what he was saying to me. Trustworthiness and integrity are far more important than sales skill. 2. Paul genuinely worked for our family to get the best result. 3. Paul kept us in touch with all developments and the communication didn't stop after the contract was signed. 4. You can't fake genuineness. All our dealings with McGraths were good and I would recommend them and use them again. Thank you Paul for your help.
