Great agent

Ben has been a fantastic agent when it came to selling our home. We found the experience to be stress free, and also felt very kept in the loop when it came to open houses and who was interested in purchasing our home. We would highly recommend Ben to anyone looking to have a stress free experience when it comes time to sell there property.

ILLAWARRAS BEST

I began the process of selling my family home with another local realestate agency with no luck. It only truely became evident to me how terrible a job the agency was doing when I met Michael and his team. From bullying tactics to get me to lower my price to showing up late for scheduled open viewings. I put Michael and his team in a difficult position to take on the the job of selling a my home that had already been on the market for 2 months in a terrible market. After the first week and the first open home I knew I found a team that would put my interests first and do what was best for me and my family. From day 1 the communication and advice was exactly what I expected. The marketing brought more people through the door and the kind professional team made our process easy. Michael pursued potential buyers resulting in the sale of my home in a very short time. Michael made the process extremely easy dealing direct with my legal team to ensure an easy problem free transaction. I couldn’t thank Michael and the Harcorts team enough for enabling me and my family to move forward with our future.

Ben James is amazing!!

Ben James help me and my partner with the purchase of our 1st home. He was extremely helpful and had given us so much insight on the process. He was always available for when we had any questions and was able to explain everything in the best way possible for a person that have never been through this process before. Easy to talk to which made the e experience less stressful which allowed us to feel the excitement to come with owning our own home. All in all he has given us so much knowledge in purchasing a home and made this process and easy and enjoyable. Couldnt thank you enough Ben! You are a legend!

Great Agent

Ben has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Both my partner and myself have built a strong rapport with him. He has excellent communication skills, very friendly. He kept us updated every single step of the way which we appreciated. He explained every situation and gave us helpful advice. The sale of our house was quick because we trusted in his judgement. Very pleased with Ben and the respect he has showed towards us and our beautiful home.

Michael Garside is just the best Real Estate agent ever. Which his knowledge and guidance he helped make the whole process of selling our property a very pleasant experience. He gave us excellent advice, communicated with us nearly everyday to give buyers feedback and market updates. Due to Michael being such a great agent we were lucky to sell our property very fast. He is a very professional agent, honest, friendly and always happy to answer questions. We would highly recommend Michael and his team at Harcourt Dapto to anyone looking to sell a property.

Honesty and Integrity - Wonderful Service

Every single moment from our first meeting to the completion of the sale we felt that Michael and his team were really working with us and ensuring that the elderly seller was at all times fully informed and treated fairly by all interested in the property. When putting a house that you have lived in the most of your life up for sale, it is a bit scary, and it is hard to tell who you can trust. Throughout the entire sales process Michael and his assistant Erin made us feel totally comfortable and we truly felt that they put our best interest foremost. We loved the attention to detail and the extraordinary effort by Michael and his team and are more than comfortable to recommend him to others.

House sold in a week at the price we wanted.

Immense thanks to Michael and his team for selling our property. It wasn't a great market to be selling in, but with the right attitude, ability and professionalism from Michael, we sold our property in 1 week and got the price we wanted. We had three personal inspections done prior to the first Open Home, organised by Michael. All three put offers in. Another 4 offers after the first Open Home Inspection. Michael did his magic, kept us up to date and informed, and sealed the deal without hassle or drama. He even helped arrange a short settlement that was advantageous to both ourselves and the buyers. I unreservedly recommend Michael. If you're selling a house, the best thing you can do is to call him. It's as simple as that. Rob and Danielle S.
