Success doesn't happen by accident. It is the result of commitment, attitude, application, and hard work; qualities which have long been evident in Todd Bates. An intelligent, focussed and highly-motivated professional, Todd has held a position of prominence in Port Macquarie's property industry for over 15 years and over this period he has justly earned an enviable reputation for excellence in real estate, with a ranking among the top five percent of all property sales people, nationwide.
In previous franchises, driven by his customer focus and ongoing successes, Todd rose through the ranks from Selling Agent to Sales Director, mentoring 13 agents and working towards new ethical guidelines for his profession, when a meeting with John McGrath presented him with an opportunity to join Australia's most respected real estate network.
In 1999 Todd Bates established McGrath Port Macquarie and over the following years, as Managing Principal, guided the office to three consecutive regional awards. His experience, natural integrity and unselfish approach to teamwork soon won the respect of clients and peers alike and his business grew swiftly, setting a local benchmark for customer service and sales successes. A fully licensed real estate agent and qualified auctioneer, Todd prides himself on an honest, no pressure approach; on comprehensive communication and upon open and knowledgeable negotiation.
Todd loves Port Macquarie. He has lived in the area throughout his entire real estate career. He fully understands the buyer demographic and he has no plans to leave the place that he and his family call "home". Over the years, with relentless hard work and diligence, Todd has attracted a loyal client base and continues to receive a growing number of referrals, both from the local area and from out of town. With a genuine, friendly and honest approach, Todd Bates is the consummate professional.
In Todd's words; "Real Estate is, without question, a people business. Selling or buying a home can be a traumatic time for a family and I see it as the agent's job to make the process as seamless as possible. In my profession, I believe that I have a responsibility to closely monitor the marketplace, to fully understand the procedures involved and, throughout the sales process, to stay in close touch with my clients. Keeping people fully informed, providing them with prompt and honest feedback and inviting regular consultation enables clients to become a part of the process and it also helps them to make informed decisions in other aspects of their lives.
"Being selected to take a home to the market is an absolute privilege and one which I will never take lightly. My clients may expect, not only my uncompromised best efforts and those of my excellent team, but also a marketing process which is unique and unrivalled in the real estate industry, designed to secure the finest possible result in the shortest possible period. This is McGrath's unique speciality and this is why I am proud to partner with McGrath."
