Outstanding Service with a great end result.

I had an outstanding experience working with Ree Welby. From start to finish, she went well above and beyond what I expected, demonstrating genuine dedication, professionalism, and care throughout the entire process. Her communication was exceptional—always keeping me informed, answering questions promptly. What really stood out was her willingness to go the extra mile. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and her attention to detail ensured everything ran smoothly. Thanks to her expertise and commitment, she achieved an excellent result. It’s clear she truly cares about her clients and takes pride in delivering the best possible outcomes. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, hardworking, and results-driven agent. You’ll be in very capable hands.

Kind and compassionate with dedication to sell

Andre was kind and companionate and offered to see our house we were looking at selling also. The house we brought was advertised at $799k however when offered just over that the buyer wanted more. If the buyer wanted more then it should have been advertised as such. Although needed to time off for family reasons the communication with myself and other members of the Harcourts team were ok however the seller was feeling the need to ring me directly about where finance was at. I didn’t have a problem with the timeline and communication but think it could have gone a little different. We will still use Harcourts for our rentals and eventually selling.

Excellent

Andre was great to deal with. Nothing was to much trouble when ever I phoned him he called me back every time. He is very professional and the one thing I liked is he is not a pushy sales person. Would recommend him to anyone.

Professional, awesome negotiator and all round a nice guy to deal with.

We were recommended to Andre by a neighbour and it turned out to be a great decision. From the day it went live the house sold in 7 days. His negotiating skills were put to the test and managed to secure the price we were chasing. He has become well known in my area as his listings have all sold. We would highly recommend Andre and his team if you are looking for a good result in a timely manner. His communication and time management are faultless. Thanks again Andre. Ten out of ten from Linda and myself.

A really good experience

We found Andre great to deal with. Knows the market in the area we were interested in and has a good manner and approach. Good experience for us buying a house through him. So much so that we hired him to sell our place, which we did in 3 days.
