My experience with Michael Harris has been beyond exceptional. He has just sold my house (in 3 weeks) under the extreme conditions of COVID-19 where he seamlessly managed the daily evolving real estate restrictions to show my house safely and achieve the financial outcome I was looking for. Prior to the campaign and COVID – 19, I met with his team at my house to ascertain from them what repairs and alterations were required to give the property the best opportunity for a good sale. They organised and supervised all the services, and tradespeople that resulted in the house looking amazing and me feeling that I was on the receiving end of something quite extraordinary with their (Raine and Horne) service provision. We also discussed what the campaign would look like and associated costs which were all supplied to me electronically. The first open for inspection was the weekend prior to the escalation of COVID-19 and as Michael said “it went exactly as I expected”, with 20 interested families attending. In my mind it all went downhill immediately after that but not in Michael's. He consistently reassured me, adapted his practice to meet the changing needs of the new environment, kept potential buyers safe and never once considered the possibility of not continuing with the campaign. He said, “there is always a buyer, it’s my job to find them and show them your house”. The house sold for the price I wanted. Michael has demonstrated to me through this process his great ability to adapt (quickly) so that he can continue to meet the need of connecting sellers and buyers at properties to achieve best outcomes for both parties. His communication is flawless, his knowledge of the market immense and his skills tried and true. His style is genuine, his approach individualised and he achieves great outcomes with people. He has surrounded himself with a fantastic, diligent and caring team that emulate his commitment to positive real estate outcomes.

Michael Harris is a very personable, approachable and knowledgeable person , he gave clear and well considered advise as to what needed to be done, how it should be done and explained the time frame involved which created a high level of confidence in his ability to achieve a great outcome. Michael and his team were extremely professional in every aspect of the selling campaign from the property inspection to determine the extent of upgrade work that needed to be undertaken to produce the best sales result, to organising trades people, preparing the promotional/marketing documentation, to handling open house inspections, negotiating offers and finally completing a sale in excess of all expectations. what made the final result more meritorious was the fact that the campaign was conducted during the extremely difficult time of the covid-19 pandemic. I have no hesitation in recommending Michael and his team, they were fantastic!

Sale of house in Newtown Recently I made a decision to place my Newtown house on the Market. I met with Duncan and discussed the issues and market outcomes given the current environment. He was informative and provided a good appraisal on the value of the property. With the decision made, the property went on the market and was prepared for sale within a short period. Duncan was helpful in providing regular updates on the interest shown and assisted with all aspects of the sale. I was more than satisfied with the outcome. I recommend Duncan's professionalism to anyone wanting to sell their property.

Recently I listed a property to be sold through Raine&Horne, Newtown with Duncan Gordon as the agent. Through the whole process, I was extremely impressed with Duncan's professionalism, knowledge of the market and what needed to be done to achieve the best outcome. His advice to me in preparing the property for sale was invaluable. His regular communication kept me informed without being stressful. The sale price obtained by him was above our expectation. I have no hesitation in recommending Duncan to any prospective vendor.

I went with Michael's team for the preparation and dedication they brought to the campaign, and the obvious awareness they had of the market in the Inner West. Michael was always immaculately informed and presented, a courteous and dedicated professional with a true sense of how to make vendors and potential purchasers feel at ease with the situation. He unfailingly communicated at all the key moments, but never bombarded me with too much information; a perfect balance was struck. Working in tandem with Michael Harris, Michael worked doggedly to assess the market, hit the phones, follow-up house inspections, and pursue all leads. Even though the auction eventually took place at the end of the worst week on the stock market in 12 years (thanks COVID-19), the final result was significantly above the team's initial best estimate, a truly surprising and amazing outcome. The Raine & Horne service, with Michael and his team, is an all-round experience in excellence, making you feel comfortable and secure, even when the wheels are falling off the economy at large. Can't speak highly enough if this outstanding professional.

There are several excellent agents in the Inner West, but I went with Michael Harris and his team for the dedication, commitment, and experience – and the charm of his personal touch. We went into this sale before the outbreak of COVID-19 had become serious, and yet, even though the auction date came at the end of the worst week on the market for 12 years, Michael delivered a price even better than his original highest projection. Amazing! Michael was serious in his efforts to get the most out of all contract-takers, and kept me regularly informed about all fluctuations in their interest and ability to bid. His team arranged for some first-rate painting, cleaning, and tiling to get the property ready for market, and this made a big difference to the price. Throughout the whole process, I was fully apprised of the shifting circumstances, and always felt in safe hands. Always nerve-racking at the end, but I couldn't have hoped for a better outcome. Outstanding.

Duncan and his team were the obvious choice for us after hearing how happy our sister and sister-in-law were with all aspects of the service they received. We were equally happy with their handling of our sale and can highly recommend them.

Duncan ran a transparent sales campaign, he always kept us informed, up to date and reassured throughout the process. He had extensive knowledge of the area and comparable sales recently which allowed him to advise us where we sit in the scheme of things. I would not think twice in engaging his services to sell any other properties of mine in the future.

I approached 3 different real estate firms when I decided to sell my home, and I chose Michael Harris. He thoroughly knows the area. He quotes and communicates clearly and he follows through: he does exactly what he says he will. He and his team are smart, careful, considerate and a pleasure to work with. Thanks for your work.

I was very happy with the quality of service provided by Duncan and his team throughout the entire marketing process, including the organization of repairs and maintenance before the marketing began. Despite me being based overseas, Duncan provided regular feedback in a timely manner. The price achieved was at the higher end of guidance.
