Derek Farmer Real Estate

I first met Derek when I bought my Darlinghurst home through him six years ago. The service he provided throughout the purchasing process was second to none. He was professional, honest, efficient, and considerate.

Three months ago, I decided to sell my home, and there was no question in mind to ask any other agent to sell it for me other than Derek. I knew that the whole sale would be safely in his hands, and that there would be nothing for me to worry about. This was the case.

I highly recommend Derek as a chosen agent if you're looking at buying or selling.

Derek and his team were extremely helpful in assisting me to buy my first property. Navigating the real estate market with little experience can be intimidating, but Derek acted with a high level of integrity and professionalism and I knew I could trust him to honestly answer any questions I had regarding the sale.

I would definitely recommend Derek to any friends or family looking to buy or sell in the area.

Having decided to sell the house we talked to estate agents from several companies.

We decided to have Derek Farmer of McGrath, Neutral Bay, as our agent and we did not regret the choice.

We liked his approach to selling and found him to be a ‘straight shooter’ He was up front from the beginning of the 5 week campaign. Throughout that time he kept us totally informed, with constant updates of the opinions, both good and bad, of the people looking at the house. I felt very comfortable contacting him at any time when I had questions which needed answers.

We were happy with the advertising, in the large newspapers, local news papers, online and with the great team he has working with him.

As well as doing a great job of selling my house he generously suggested various units that I might be interested in even though they were being sold by other agents. Indeed the one I am buying is one he thought I should look at which is being sold by L J Hooker. As he says ‘you have to love it’ and I do.

On the day of the auction an unexpected problem cropped up and Derek dealt with it superbly, negotiating a very successful outcome for which we are most grateful.

During this selling process I found that McGrath has a very good reputation with banks, retired estate agents and solicitors.

I am more than happy to highly recommend Derek. He is energetic, thorough, knows how to sell and is engaging.

Derek Farmer from McGrath Estate Agents in Neutral Bay came to value our house about a year and a half before we decided to actually sell. We ended up leasing our property, and during that time Derek stayed in touch with us - always keeping us informed on market activity as well as seasonal changes in the market etc. We had three agents value our property at the time Derek did, and he was the only one who stayed in touch. As a result, we decided to proceed with appointing him as our selling agent in 2014. The property was marketed for auction, and we cannot commend Derek highly enough for the way he interacted with us and with our prospective buyers throughout the campaign. He kept us informed and was honest the whole way through - never getting our hopes up, but always keeping us positive. We had three offers during the campaign but decided to see the campaign through to auction and could not have ever dreamed of achieving a better result. We feel so grateful to have found Derek and would very highly recommend him as an agent to anyone looking to sell their property - he truly is amazing! Thank you Derek for everything - the result of your hard work and dedication to achieving the best price for our property has completely changed our lives!

Derek marketed an investment property for us. He gave us an excellent appraisal of not just the property but the Cammeray area and Sydney market. This enabled us to make an informed decision about the sale and the campaign we should run. He delivered on every single aspect of the sale process and strategy. I found him to be very tenacious, hard working, honest and easily approachable. The sales result achieved far exceeded our expectations and I would use Derek again without question.
