Tim Cullen
Since joining McGrath Estate Agents 14 years ago,
Tim has defined himself as an industry leader with
an outstanding track record and loyal client base. He
ranked 1st on the Northern Beaches in this year’s Real
Estate Business’ Top 100 Agents List and ranked 23rd
nationwide. For the last four years he has consistently
sold more properties on the Northern Beaches than any
other McGrath agent and holds a good portion of all
the real estate records set on the Northern Beaches.
This domination continues to grow year after year.
From a young age, it was clear Tim had a natural ability
with people, negotiations and business. He studied
Communications at Charles Sturt University Bathurst,
after which he was drawn to the real estate industry.
Tim joined the team at McGrath Estate Agents, applying
his natural talent and tertiary studies to his real estate
career. Today Tim sets a benchmark for not just McGrath
but for real estate agents nationwide.
Tim is a devoted family man, community member and
long term resident of the Northern Beaches. His wealth
of local knowledge, extensive experience and team
approach make Tim Cullen the best choice when selling
or buying a property on the Northern Beaches.
Tim gave us realistic expectations for the market at the time and his explanation of how he expected things to go turned out to be spot on. We achieved a result within 12 days! Tim’s extensive knowledge and his proven results in the local real estate market made him the right choice for our sale... Angela Martinez
4 Bernadette Cullen
Bernadette Cullen is Tim’s wife and supports Tim and
the team behind the scenes and ensures the sales
process runs smoothly. She assists with marketing and
administration, which frees up Tim’s time so the focus
is on getting the best possible price for your property.
She too is an experienced Certified Sales Agent and is a
qualified designer with an Advanced Diploma in Design
from the prestigious Whitehouse Institute of Design.
Bernadette Cullen gives Tim’s clients a fantastic insight
into how to best present their property for sale in
order to obtain the best possible price in any market.
Bernadette Cullen has supported Tim’s role for the last
seven years and is an active community member on the
Northern Beaches.
From the start, with your excellent presentation on how your team would handle the sale, to the day of settlement, we could not have asked for more. You and your team gave us great feedback and ideas during the sale. It was positive, helpful and we also enjoyed the pleasant personal interest you took in dealing with us. We have sold several properties over many years, dealing with different agencies and agents, but this time we had the best professional real estate team one could wish for. You and your team’s professional, prompt, courteous and reliable actions are to be commended. Well done. Doug and Carolyn Smyth
5Tim Cullen’s Team
When working with Tim Cullen, you don’t just get the
services of one agent. Instead you receive the dedicated
attention of our entire team of four Certified Real Estate
Agents actively working on your property with the sole aim
in mind of achieving the best possible price in the most
time effective manner possible.
Tim’s approach has seen him consistently attaining record
prices and receiving praise from his loyal client base. As an
industry leader and currently the number one selling agent
on the Northern Beaches, you can rest assured that with
Tim Cullen you will always be in the very best of care. Due
to his team approach, Tim always has the ability to focus
on selling and negotiations... and not administration duties,
which ensures he is able to achieve premium results each
and every time.
I keep using the term team, because when we signed up with Tim we were also signing up with his team, and that made a huge difference. Thanks so much. Monique & Glen Boatwright
Our house was sold at the top end of our expectations within 6 days of the first open house. We couldn’t have asked for a better result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tim to others. Thanks again! Tim Peel

McGrath Estate Agents was established by John
McGrath in 1988 with one primary goal: to create the
best real estate company in the world. Now Australia’s
largest privately owned residential real estate business,
we are the most innovative marketer of Sydney real
estate and achieve more record sales in more suburbs
than any other real estate agency in Sydney.
In metropolitan Sydney, $22 billion worth of residential
real estate was sold last year. McGrath sold $2.26 billion
with 9 offices - 10% of market share. The next best real
estate franchise sold $1.8 billion with 90 offices - 9% of
market share.
We do things differently to other agencies which is why
we are achieving better results. Here are some of our
key points of difference:
McGrath
- McGrath is the ONLY real estate agency that offers a
regional perspective. Our agents share Australia’s largest
buyer database across all our offices, linking every one
of our offices from Queensland to the ACT. Statistics
have proven that the majority of property records are
set from ‘out of area’ buyers. So whilst local buyers are
crucial, McGrath’s regional approach ensures we find
buyers from a wider catchment, which delivers you
a better result. This is one of the most significant features
that McGrath implements that our competitors do
not possess.
- A critical part of McGrath’s database is over 20,000
overseas buyers. We believe expats are one of our unfair
advantages. We actively network and communicate our
listings to Australian executives working overseas.
Our listings can be viewed internationally via our mobile
website and McGrath Magazine ipad app. So with us,
your property will get attention around the globe,
as well as around your suburb.
- McGrath delivers a total solution marketing service
which is tailored to meet your expectations and property
needs. We are committed to constantly developing and
enhancing our marketing approach to ensure that we
remain modern and innovative and that your property
stands out above the competition.
- McGrath’s extensive and growing network of offices
covers the Sydney metropolitan area, as well as regional
New South Wales, ACT and South East Queensland.
Our 400+ sales professionals work as a team to help
achieve great property results for you.
- If you choose to sell your property by auction, one of the
key success elements will be your auctioneer. Exclusive
to McGrath, our team of highly experienced auctioneers
include Australia’s top three award winning auctioneers
to help maximise the sales price of your property.
- McGrath has built an industry leading online resource
for buyers of quality real estate, with approximately
800 000 new visitors to mcgrath.com.au every year.
We also have a unique ‘lifestyle search’ option and
our site can be viewed in five languages.
- Mcgrath.com.au is the 3rd most used real estate website
in Australia behind realestate.com.au & domain.com.au
- McGrath is associated with Oxygen Home Loans
(Mortgage Broker of the Year 2012). They send all
finance approved buyers to our database. No other
brand has such a strong connection with their broker.
- We have recruited the best photographers and
copywriters to produce high quality marketing.
Our listings are often considered before our competitors
due to the marketing and presentation quality.
At McGrath we have one in house, specialist marketing
team (no other real estate company offers this).
Our premium brand will elevate your property to
the top of the must see properties in your price bracket.
8 Sale preparation checklist
The preparation you put into getting your property ready for sale can
be the difference between getting a standard price and getting a great
price. Here’s a quick checklist of things you can do to help make your
home more saleable:
1. Get the property detailed thoroughly.
2. A few hundred dollars spent sprucing up the property will increase
the saleability and more than likely increase the sale price.
3. A property stylist can improve the appeal of your property by enhancing
its appearance. This helps in obtaining a higher sale price.
4. Obtain a building and pest inspection report. This allows you to have
necessary repair work done prior to sale. A 100% clear report can be
used as a selling feature for buyers.
5. The Contract for Sale should be prepared by your solicitor or
conveyancer with all the essential terms and conditions. In NSW the law
requires that a contract be available for inspection prior to the property
being offered for sale.
6. A certificate of compliance should be obtained from the Local Council
if you have recently undertaken major building works.
7. It is advisable to have a survey of the land and buildings available
if required when selling a property.
8. If there is a current lease, check the expiry date and termination
requirements and advise your solicitor.
9. Make a note of all the inclusions. That is, everything that will be included
in the purchase price and remaining at the property after completion.
Standard items include light fittings, floor coverings, curtains and blinds.
These can also be excluded if you prefer but it should be noted in the
Contract for Sale.
I’m regularly described as the hardest working agent on the beaches. For me, real estate is more than just a job. It’s a passion, a gift, a lifestyle… and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Tim Cullen
