Company History
McGrath estate agents' impact on the east coast of Australia's real estate market is largely due to its
driving ambition to be "the world's most customer-centric real estate company". According to its Founder
and chief executive, John McGrath, "our aim is to project the company as multi-faceted, modern and
innovative. A total solution company that will provide 6-star service to our clients."
The McGrath Group has grown from a one-man operation to an organisation that leases over 7,000
properties annually.
In September 2006, the McGrath Group confirmed its plans for expansion throughout Australia and New
Zealand with a strategic roll-out of a new premium franchise operation. The company has retained a small
number of selected company owned locations and will continue to expand into new metropolitan and
lifestyle locations with a boutique franchise roll-out.
John McGrath has embraced technology and recognised the importance of strategically understanding the
online market. The company's ongoing significant financial investment in this space reinforces the McGrath
vision to offer their 6-star service to clients both online and offline. www.mcgrath.com.au, a highly
sophisticated and user-friendly website, is regarded by both international and domestic users as the most
usable and informative website in the property market.
The expansion of McGrath estate agents and its dominance in the east coast's property scene has been
the result of years of dedication and determination. Starting up John McGrath Real estate in 1987, John
chased his dream of owning his own business and creating his own path.
The entire McGrath team strives to consistently deliver accountable results for its clients with total
integrity and transparency.

Market Estimate
At McGrath, we aim to provide the most accurate market estimate possible. Our estimate has taken in
to consideration your location, market conditions, the features of your property and supporting results
in the area. Also considered has been the desire of a number of prospective tenants to live within this
area and price bracket.
3 Bedroom Apartments - $500 - $550
2 Bedroom Apartments - $430 - $450
1 Bedroom Apartments - $360 - $380
As you know, the price of your property will be determined by the level of interest and amount of
competition between potential tenants. With an effective leasing and marketing strategy potential exists
for this estimate to be exceeded.
This opinion has been prepared solely for the information of Rochelle Cramp for the purpose of considering the lease of <PROPERTY ADDRESS> <
PROPERTY SUBURB> and not for any third party. Although every care has been taken in arriving at this figure, we stress that this is an opinion of
reasonable price range only and not to be taken as a sworn valuation.
