Matt went out of his way to show me properties that he thought would meet my needs, even if they weren’t his listings. He was always professional and I could rely on him to do what he said he would do every time and to try to meet any requests that I had.

We are repeat customers and wouldn’t go with another agent. Without a doubt Sean is the best in Ballarat and we can’t thank him enough for his professionalism and getting us the best result we could have hoped for. He made the whole process as seamless as possible. Two thumbs up and 10 stars

Frustrating lack of communication. If you are thinking of selling with Sarah Skinner or Matt, be aware that they are actively ignoring potential buyers. We attempted to contact them multiple times via email, phone calls, voicemails, and texts to book an inspection. We received zero response, and the house is now under offer. It’s incredibly unprofessional to completely ghost interested buyers, and a massive disservice to their vendors who missed out on competing offers.

I can’t recommend Tony Zelencich highly enough. My Brown Hill block had been listed with another well-known Ballarat agency for almost three years without success. Once McGrath Ballarat took over and Tony was appointed as the selling agent, the experience was completely different. Tony was professional, proactive, communicated regularly, and had a clear strategy from day one. Most importantly, he achieved what others couldn’t — he sold the property within just two weeks of taking it on. Throughout the process, Tony kept me informed, provided honest advice, and made the entire sale stress-free. His knowledge of the Ballarat market, work ethic, and commitment to getting results were outstanding. If you’re looking for an agent who genuinely works hard for his clients and delivers results, I would have no hesitation in recommending Tony and the McGrath team. Thanks again, Tony. Fantastic result and a great experience from start to finish!

Kate was fantastic throughout the purchase of our IP. Professional, responsive, honest, and always willing to help. What stood out most was her commitment to getting the deal across the line and keeping both parties informed throughout the process. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she made what could have been a stressful experience feel very smooth and straightforward We appreciated all assistance and would happily recommend Kate to anyone buying or selling property in the area.

I recently had dealings with Leonie from McGrath's regarding a rental property. She went above and beyond and has been incredibly helpful. Excellent service.

Tony was exceptional in terms of quick responses to any queries I had & nothing was too much trouble. He was really knowledgeable regarding the property & the area. I remain grateful of how easy he made the whole process as it had been over 25yrs since I last bought a home & I was quite overwhelmed with it all. Highly recommend.
