My family used Ben to sell our first property which resulted in an outstanding outcome so it was a simple decision to chose Ben again for the sale of our second home. Bens knowledge of the surrounding area and market is second to none. We find by having Ben as our representative makes us feel like we are not dealing with a salesman but a friend as Ben will keep you in the loop on a daily basis at times 2-3 times a day. While we had Ben selling our family home we had to deal with another agent whilst buying another home and believe me, to compare these agents were at either ends of the scale. Bens knowledge, approach, communication, professionalism and attitude towards the entire process makes you feel as though he is not an agent but a friend that is generally sincere. We feel Bens entire approach is about Quality NOT Quantity. To have all these traits in one PROFESSIONAL is generally hard to find in a sales industry, and as repeat customers would not choose any other professional to sell our home. Anyone that asks my family on who is a GREAT agent to use, Ben is the only name that is raised in the discussion. Should you need an agent that goes to great lengths, above and beyond, my only advice is Ben James from Harcourts.

Erin was our first contact.She was professional and delightful. Michael was always on time for any meeting and available to answer any questions we had.The whole process of listing and selling was so easy with Harcourts.We had a choice of 3 companies to go with ,however we chose Harcourts as they showed complete professionalism and ease of conversing. Michael and his team were great throughout the entire sale.We had a few curve balls thrown at us by purchasers.which Michael handled very well and managed to get us the result we neededComplete satisfaction.

Thank you to Michael, Erin & the team who went above and beyond to help me sell my house. Having never sold a house before, Michael & the team made the experience seamless. Erin's attention to detail in preparing the home for sale was outstanding. Michael contacted me after each and every open home to provide me with any update he had. I would highly recommend Michael, Erin & the team to anyone that is looking to sell a house.

We had absolute trust in Michael from the time we first met for an appraisal to the sale of our home. His honesty, advice and ongoing communication throughout the process were very much appreciated. We would recommend Michael to every vendor without hesitation.

Ben from day one, followed our instructions for selling our house. He went above and beyond our instructions. He kept in regular contact with us, in person and by phone. It was a very stressful time for my husband and myself and Ben made it so much easier, helping us , every step of the way. Can’t thank him enough. Polite, courteous, gentleman. Thanks very much Ben.

We knew Ben through friends, having sold their house through him and when they told us how great he was it was a no brainer to ask him to sell our house for us. From day one Ben was not only professional but kind and was like our friend, he explained the whole process and it was easy to understand, our house was put on the market and sold at the first open house, Ben negotiated with the new buyers and got the best out come for us. So if you want a great agent who will get the best price for your house Ben James is the man.

We purchased our home through Michael 13 years ago and were so impressed with Michael's service then we decided to go back when the time came to move. Back then I had specific requirements and he found us the perfect house. We had no reservations as to who would sell our house for us, as we felt with the contact Michael maintained with us over the years he knew us well. Michael and Erin kept us up to date with all the processes from the photo's right through to the final settlement. Selling can be a very stressful time but it was made easier with Michael's availability to answer any question promptly.I have already expressed to family and friends Michael at Harcourts is your first point of contact even if your just thinking of selling. I took a year to decide and I was not hassled once as to when and if I was ready

After speaking to a few agents and getting market appraisals, we went with Ben. His knowledge on the market and how potential buyers think was spot on. We had a quick sale and received the price which we wanted. He was always available for questions and always kept us up to date to the progress. His knowledge, friendly approach and skills in this industry is the reason we believe this happened.

Michael recently helped us sell our first house. Being new to this process, we searched around a fair bit before deciding that Michael and Harcourts Dapto were the right fit for us. We are extremely happy that we made this decision. Michael has been the epitome of professionalism, care and knowledge. He has a deep understanding of the local real estate market which enables him to drum up potential buyers, identify what a good offer is, and negotiate the ups and downs of the market. Michael always kept us involved in the process, whether it be organising open houses/inspections, weekly reports, keeping us abridge of potential buyers, or devising strategies to get our property moving. At a personal level, Michael is very friendly, eager to deliver a good service, and easy to talk to. He was happy to talk whenever we called and, if he missed us, returned the call in a prompt fashion. We would not have any hesitation in recommending Michael and Harcourts Dapto to sellers. We'd also like to thank Erin Ketteringham from her constant support, kindness and professionalism in the process.
