Harris Real Estate - Stirling

Achieving record prices and slashing days on the market is all in a day’s work for this friendly, fun-loving real estate professional named Salesperson of the Year - Hills 2014. While unquestionably a highlight of a wonderful career spanning more than 11 years, Arabella remains refreshingly grounded and humble in the face of success which has also seen her crowned Top Hills Agent 2011-2018. Maybe it’s her broad smile, her evident love for her clients or her irrepressible conviction that all things are possible that make her such an outstanding agent. Ask her and she’ll tell you that she lives by Richard Branson’s philosophy of ‘screw it, let’s do it’ – a credo that has helped her deliver exceptional results and experiences across a diverse range of property transactions; from units and houses, to, dairies, vineyards, lifestyle properties and equestrian estates. As a focus for her drive, energy and passion, real estate is the clear winner; in particular those Hills clients lucky enough to enjoy Arabella’s personal touch and unique brand of strategy, presentation, marketing and negotiation. Her accounting background – she has degrees in Commerce and Horse Physiotherapy - has taught her the importance of planning in any campaign’s success. Getting excited with you about your property goals and helping turn them into reality is what it’s all about. While results speak volumes, Arabella knows that at the end of the day her best assets are her team and the relationships you build in life. Her ability to communicate and build trust has resulted in a loyal fan base only too happy to spread the word. And with her knack of being able to break down barriers and get to the core, it’s little wonder people come to her for advice or just to talk things through. Arabella was born in the South-East and has called the Hills home since the age of 12. Her children go to school locally and she is still very much part of the equestrian scene, sponsoring and supporting many eventing clubs over the years. As for the future: she has no plans to live or work anywhere other than ‘the land of the long lunch’! https://www.facebook.com/hooperteamharrisre/?ref=bookmarks

A mix his clients love, in the Hills community he calls home. Immensely proud of his time at LJ Hooker Stirling, some 15 years on, there’s more in store for Simon, for the Adelaide Hills and his team as they blend with high-profile and forward-thinking Harris Real Estate. Having seen it all, Simon is proof that honest agents stand out and survive – and that means ensuring his clients receive the right advice long before signing anything.

But ultimately, he’s happiest in those face to face encounters, presenting and advising soon-to-be vendors, and negotiating down to that very last dollar, with class.

Tamara Gertig lets her integrity, community service, her 13 years of award-winning real estate experience and testimonials do the talking, deflecting any professional praise in preference for a client focus and their imminent, selling success. Success is something easy-going Tamara is pretty used to, but her hard work and family values keep her grounded, and it’s the personal touch with a smile she’s known for. Tamara loves what she does. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes – from presentation and marketing strategies to late-night negotiations – yet nothing dulls her dedication to taking a family’s prized property and turning it into a new owner’s pride and joy; it’s a privilege she takes very seriously. Whether project managing a 3-month renovation in readiness for sale or negotiating an off-market deal to the delight of surprised clients – there’s no ego in it, Tamara merely makes every second of every listing, count. At home in the Hills, from first home buyers to second, even third time sellers, Tamara’s warmth resonates with family. With young twins, she’s already well into those 18 short and memorable summers kids give you – and when it comes to your home, make no mistake, she won’t waste time. Her pledge is to see every client’s property goal – however high, however urgent – come true; where else or who else, would you turn to?

He’s sailed the world and water-skied professionally for Great Britain; yet today, Daniel Oliver puts people and property first, helping clients buy, sell, and negotiate their investment, dream, or forever homes. With English charm and an accent to match, Daniel’s fun and giving nature is not unlike that of his high-flying idol, Sir Richard Branson – always perfecting his strengths, recognising strengths in others, caring for and educating people and peers. Traits that set him apart in the sales arena. And the same traits that have brought a string of team and individual awards, reinforcing his high-achieving calibre. Above and beyond is Daniel’s norm with energy and passion an integral part of every pursuit – the same goes for his equally competent co-agent, Daniel Stewart – who together form the successful Oliver Team, continually building on their expert alliance at Harris Real Estate. The inner south and eastern pocket of Adelaide is where his intimate suburb knowledge lies, particularly around the Glenunga International High School zone, and so with it comes an ever-broadening client base. Awards and goals aside, he happily boasts of family life as a husband to Chelsea, doting father to Arabella, Camilla, & Paxton along with fur parent – nobody forgets Lexi the labradoodle. For expertise, award-winning experience and the best of care, become another satisfied client by calling Daniel Oliver today.

There’s something about a confident and reassuring real estate agent who knows where he’s come from, knows where he’s headed, and can put your financial needs in place, too… With 7 years of Chartered Accountancy and a Commerce Degree to his credit, Yianni Garbas has a way with numbers, people, and property. The “9 to 5” just didn’t give him the fulfilment that real estate does. Yet, his tax and financial planning expertise is as much a blessing to his clients today as it is a pleasure for him to share. Inspired by his real estate agent mother and builder father, the path from finance to selling family homes was only a matter of time for Yianni as he lives and breathes a “learn, grow, and improve” mantra every day. Buying and renovating his first property at 21 and contracting his first property sale for an impressive $1.2million, he’s learnt a thing or two about pricing. A pricing strategy that boasts a days-on-market average of just 18 days. His no-nonsense approach, analytical mind and communicative nature ensures he exceeds every expectation; price and service-wise. So, at Harris Real Estate, amongst a like-minded team of trailblazing professionals, a client-centric ethos and world-class systems, Yianni’s right at home and ready to sell yours...
