Testimonials
"I had to move from SA to WA quickly because of work commitments. Being in a hurry to sell my home and my investment property in Adelaide, I was worried that I''d be vulnerable because I was in a rush. Even the name ''agent'' sent shivers down my spine. Dealing with Lisa Peltz of McGrath Real Estate Group, Bayside, SA, made me change my mind. Her professional approach and market knowledge, supported by fantastic people skills, assured me, that in my case I was in the right hands. The whole process of selling both houses was very rational, the understanding of my needs and priorities was excellent and I was more than satisfied with the final outcome. Lisa offered discussion going deeper into house features, beyond number of bedrooms, and the size or quality of taps in the bathroom. She knew, from that discussion, who the potential buyers would be, and targeted just them. This is what I call professionalism. I would recommend her service to anyone."
"“Recently my home was sold by Michael Mann from McGrath Real Estate Group. The open inspections and advertising were first class. His interaction with me and potential buyers was courteous, professional and ethical. It was a totally transparent sale”."
"Karen Dorman was our property consultant for both the purchase and the sale of our house. Our first impression of her was of a smiling, genuine, welcome to an open inspection. Her perfect blend of professionalism with personal rapport was immediately evident. From our first encounter her sincerity and reliability were obvious; an impression that was consistently reinforced during our extended dealings with her. We had total faith in her integrity throughout our purchase process. Being a resident in the same area herself was an added bonus for us. She took the time to show us the highlights of the area and provided names and phone numbers for a range of local service providers. We felt she really cared about us as people, not just as clients, which left us with a lasting, favourable impression. So when it was time to sell our house, there was no question that it would be any one but Karen. She was sensitive to the mixed emotions involved in selling a home and guided us caringly, but assertively through the process. Being overseas at the time was an aiitional challenge for us, but Karen kept the personal contact for forming an alliance with involved family members and staying in touch via Skype. She worked tirelessly for a quick sale and negotiated a deal that was an incredible result for us. We know that she worked virtually around the clock and made many personal and professional sacrifices to complete the deal. She was precise and explicit regarding all the details of managing the sale of our property, which resulted in a smooth and seamless transition for both vendors and purchasers. I have no hesitation in recommending Karen to you. Her professional knowledge and experience, combined with her personal entuisiasm and zeal is a winning combination, regardless of whether you are buying or selling."
"Our recent experience and dealings with the staff at McGrath Real Estate Group - Bayside in the purchase of our holiday house at Normanville was nothing but positive and a pleasant experience. Our first contact at the open inspection with Guy Barrett was pleasant and informative. We appreciated the time at both inspections to be provided with the space adn time to inspect the property at our leisure. We were very impressed with the manner in which the contract papers were signed. The professional approach and assistance from both Guy and Ric Starr made the process very speedy and filled us with confidence that purchasers are just as important to McGrath Real Estate as what the vendors are. We would like to thank Guy and Ric for their courtesy, friendly and professional manner."
"In November 2007 I engaged Karen Dorman to sell our property in Glenelg East. I live in Brisbane so it was important for me to find someone whom I could trust and deal easily with over the phone. I chose Karen over other agents based on the fact I was impressed by her professionalism and energy in selling real estate. It was also important for me to have someone who could assist with last minute touch ups to the property and to liaise with the tenants. Our house went to auction with 10 reigstered bidders and the result speaks for itself. We achieved the highest auction sale price in southern Adelaide on that weekend in December 2007. If you are looking for a real estate agent who is committed to selling your property for the best price you can''t go past Karren."
"We approached Tim to sell our Apartment he was realistic in his presentation and then over delivered. An agent worth dealing with."
"We purchased a property through Tim, we knew we paid too much so we asked him to sell our home and Tim achieved the same result."
"Dear Dominic Just wanted to thank you sincerely for your time and effort in attending to my needs in recent months. In true fashion I was “out of town” leaving you to do it all! Dominic your professional and diligent handling of my real estate affairs has and always will be appreciated."
"There are many people in your profession known for being able to ‘talk the talk’ yet whilst you’re an amazing conversationalist – your actions and the integrity you engage doing your skills simply separate you from the rest. You lead by example, inspiring others around you (like me) and for that I will always remain grateful. Thanks again."
"Thank you very much for your professionalism and unbridled enthusiasm in assisting us sell our property at Elder Terrace, Glengowrie recently.

"I just wanted to say a huge ‘thank you’ to Lisa Peltz for the successful sale of my property at Kurralta Park. I can only use words in this letter to describe how happy I was with the way she marketed, arranged, opened, and sold my home … and for the best possible price. This is not the first property Lisa has sold for me, yet she still manages to come up with new and innovative ideas for selling. Lisa has a professional and passionate approach. If you are looking for a stress free, successful sale of your home, call Lisa Peltz! She is, far above the rest. Her drive and success has helped me get the best possible price for my investment, I couldn’t imagine why anybody would choose anyone else. I still maintain, Lisa is one of the most successful real estate agents in this city, she has a massive database and range of clientele, she has access to the best resources. Thank you Lisa – you truly are ‘the agent I can recommend’."
"My husband and I recently chose to sell our much loved family home with Karen Dorman. She had given us a no obligation valuation of our house 6 years earlier and we always knew we would want her when it came time to sell. From the first meeting we knew we had made the right decision. She was professional, friendly and so easy to get along with. She supported us when she knew we were flat and anxious and celebrated with us in our success on auction day. Her encouragement, attention to detail and availability was second to hone and we will be recommending Karen to all our friends and family who should wish to engage the services of a Real Estate Agent they can truly trust. Selling a home is an incredibly emotional time and having someone like Karen makes the task almost pleasureable!! We will miss our regular contact with Karen and wish her continued success in her chosen career. She works so hard and deserves the fantastic reputation she has gained through sheer hard work and commitment to selling homes whilst caring for people at the same time. P.S. Paul McGrath is the ONLY auctioneer you would want for the job. Great bloke, great result. We cannot thank him enough."
"I arranged for Lisa to sell my two-bedroom unit in Brighton. Having worked with Lisa and being a close family friend I trusted her to do a brilliant job and I new I would the results I was looking for … I got better! Lisa sold the apartment within 5 days of signing the agency through to the signing of the contract and I was amazed at the price she got for us. Lisa made the experience feel easy, quick and ensured we had a ‘no worry’ sale. I would happily recommend Lisa to anyone selling anything! Lisa’s professionalism, enthusiasm and real estate knowledge is amazing, her passion really sells her! There are purely not enough words to describe how great Lisa was through what I thought would be a stressful process. I will be using Lisa again and have given her cards out to everyone I know – if you are thinking of selling, please, for your own sake – look no further than Lisa Peltz. Lisa gets the results, in quick, easy and no fuss approach, and she always has a smile!"
"I would like to express my sincere gratitude and commend your company on the professional assistance extended to me by sales Consultant Ms Karen Dorman. It is always an emotional time selling a property but when it involves an elderly parent and their subsequent relocation it seems to intensify. Karen''s genuine approach and commitment was unquestionable. Her market knowledge is outstanding and her sales strategies clear, understandable and sound. All my dealings with Karen have been pleasurable. She has a wonderful disposition, is a true professional and a great ambassador for your company. It is without hesitation that I would (and have) recommend Karen to any person looking to sell a property."
"I recently made a significant decision to sell my family home of nearly 40 years. A close friend recommended Karen Dorman to me and the wheels were put in motion. I was living in a very large house on my own and finally could see that I needed to make this move and down size. However, this was never going to be something that would come easy to me, and I found Karen made the process much smoother and less stressful than I ever could have imagined. Karen was very professional and at the same time very caring and supportive. She was always available to listen to my concerns and kept me on track. I would have no hesitation in recommending Karen to anyone putting their property on the market for sale."
"I had dealings with Karen Dorman who I employed to sell my rental property. I work long hours and was unable to do anything during business hours and strongly relied on Karen''s ability. The whole process was painless and effortless on my behalf. Karen co-ordinated the whole process from connunicating with both parties, notifying the rental tenants and handling the ahdn over with the rental agency. Karen worked around my busy work schedule, she came around my home after hours and kept me up to date on my mobile. I full endorse Karen and The McGrath Group and thoroughly recommend them to anyone selling or buying a property."
"The sale of my property has been a very easy, successful and pleasant experience. The work that Karen Dorman has put in to the sale has been fantastic, the extra lengths that Karen went to certainly led to a very smooth transition. After the initial consultantion I had no worries or doubts that my property was oing to be sold quickly and at the best price. I would have no hesitation in recommending Karen. When looking to buy my first property I didn''t get much help from real estate agents, they seemed more interested in pleasing the vendor rather than the people looking to buy. I have experienced both buying and selling through Karen and felt that I was treated very fairly, and felt she went beyond the call of duty in both instances. McGrath Bayside provide a very friendly and professional environment and make you feel very comfortable and confident that you are making the right decision and choice with the sale of your property."
"My brother and I engaged Karen to sell our late Mother''s home in April 2007. We had organised to meet with 3 agents of which Karen was the first; we both agreed immediately that Karen was the person we wanted to represent the property and signed up with her the next day. We were impressed with her professionalism, knowledge of the real estate market and in particular the local area. Karen was open and honest with us at all times and was extremely easy to deal with. Knowing the sale was to settle a deceased estate and that it was a particularly difficult time for us, Karen made the process as simple and easy as possible and deal with the sale sensitively and effortlessly on our part. We had an amazing result with the property selling in 4 days and at a price well over our expectations. I would recommend Karen Dorman to any prospective vendor as a highly qualified and professional agent, who knows the industry well and acts in a manner that is a credit to the agency. I''m more than happy to discuss Karen''s high leve of service further if required."
