Michael is not your average real estate agent. His knowledge of what the local market is doing is second to none, he does not sugar coat what is a difficult time when selling a property. Always gave prompt feed back after each open house. As this was a sale off the property of my late mother he could not have more been understanding and compassionate in difficult times. Not once he did he try and push us in a direction we were not comfortable with. This is the second time I have sold a property with Michael and would not hesitate in using him again or recommending him to someone else.

Michael and his team were excellent. My first time experience selling a property went so well. Michael has guided me to the right pathway.

My partner and I have been dealing with Harcourts Dapto for over 15 years. Every experience has been A+ for customer service, sales and support. Michael and I highly recommend Michael Garside and his team if you ever want to rent, sell or buy a property.

I have to say our experience with Ben was such easy transitional sale. He was very very experienced and knew exactly what we wanted. He suggested some improvements prior to the sale of our property, which we took on board and implemented. We have had several dealings with Ben through family members and it was a no brainer to have him as our agent. We chose to be off market and Ben immediately set about making calls and organising appointments. Ben went out of his way to help with the purchase of our new home in Victoria. He has a pleasant matter, great personality and relates well to your needs as a vendor. He knows the market well and is realistic with pricing. We were extremely happy with Ben as our agent and can only highly recommend him to any future prospective sales he may take. Vendors will not be disappointed with commitment in achieving the best results. Thanks Ben for everything you did for us. We will truly wish you well for your future.. Debbie and Mark

We chose Ben James when assessing which agent to use in the Dapto area, because Ben’s presentation and marketing approach was believable. Through out the sales journey Ben delivered on every commitment made during during his original presentation and then some. These included regular weekly follow ups of open house feedback by potential buyers and a realistic assessment of our sales strategy resulting in a good sale in a rapidly changing market. Ben also went beyond what you would expect from an ordinary agent on a couple of instances when we couldn’t attend the property because we were interstate. This was a pleasant surprise. We also chose to pay Ben the full commission because we were able to see the value he provided and because he went the extra mile to find a buyer when simply holding open houses was obviously not working in the current market conditions. We strongly recommend Ben and Harcourt’s Dapto if you are looking to sell well in the current market.

A huge thank you to Michael and his team for a fantastic job, we experienced professional and exceptional friendly communication throughout the whole selling process. We met with Michael and with his knowledge and valuable expertise of the real estate market we were rewarded with an outcome of our home being sold within one week with an outstanding result that we were very happy with. Michael always answered our questions both openly and honestly and we are extremely grateful for the straightforward process involved that we experienced selling our home. We highly recommend Michael and his team to any prospective buyer or seller, and we would most definitely use Michael’s specialist team again.

Dear Michael and the team. Thank you very much for assisting us in selling our house. It happened quickly but in a very smooth process. We didn’t even have to do anything! You organised everything for us, which made it easier. We did mention a timeline, which is a very tight schedule, but you managed to deliver on the dot. Selling a family home is a hard one. You made us feel confident and not pressured. So thank you for that. We look forward to doing business with you again.

Having worked in both sales and customer focussed roles for over 35 years, my expectations are very high. From Day 1, Michael has been professional, approachable, honest and reliable. I was impressed with his knowledge of market conditions, his positivity and practical advice. He kept us informed of progress every step of the way and negotiated a solid result for us in a rapidly changing market, which was impacted by several post election interest rate rises. Any agent can quote a high price to secure a listing, but having someone who will negotiate for you to secure the best outcome is the point of difference provided by Michael and the team at Harcourt’s Dapto. The marketing undertaken by Harcourt’s to promote the property saw 18 groups attend on the first open house and a further 10 groups the next weekend, despite torrential rains. Within weeks a sale was secured! Thank you so very much Michael, you and the team have done an outstanding job.

The experience selling our house was made pleasurable and extremely easy, Michael made the process so convenient we hardly knew they were there. I could not recommend anyone as highly as i do with Michael at Harcourts Dapto.

Michael gave good pre-sale advice on what was required to sell our Fathers home. His price guide was accurate. (without over inflated expectations) He kept us informed throughout the process, and was professional and honest with his opinions. He was available at any time of the day to answer our questions. I would have no hesitation in recommending Michael.
