We were alerted to Michael's reputation in real estate for some time, and he did not disappoint. From our first meeting to the end, our discussions were open and insightful, and using his experience and expertise, he was able to highlight options we could take to maximise the value of our property. Tradesmen were organised by his team and the transformation by the stylist created a result in minimal time (and cost) that was impressive...all with no effort, time or stress on our part. Throughout the marketing campaign, we were regularly updated and Michael provided excellent analysis of where we stood and likely scenarios that would follow. His follow-up after each open house was excellent, as was the constant and easy flow of e-mails between us and his team. It was evident that his office has a strong 'customer first' culture, be-it vendor or buyer. Nothing was too much trouble, which was, for us living 100 kms away, a great relief. We were delighted with the auction result and witnessed how skilfully and diligently Michael worked towards the price we wanted. The trust we put in Michael to take us through the whole sale process was totally justified. Thank you to Michael and his wonderful team. Kathy & Kas Zoszak

Michael Harris and his team have just completed the sale of our property in Chelmsford St, Newtown. The total experience has been absolutely brilliant. The process of selling can be intimidating and stressful and I was keen to get the best professional support possible to guide me through the decision process, marketing campaign and ultimately achieve an outcome that met or exceeded my expectations. Michael excelled at every stage! His initial appraisal was honest and detailed and clearly drew on his experience in the area and intel on current market dynamics. Advice on timing, campaign style and marketing tactics really proved to be spot on. The guidance on house maintenance and preparation allowed us to ensure the property was market-ready. Michael's team recommended some great talented tradespeople that were fantastic and professional at every turn. I loved how they felt part of the "team effort" to get our home looking its absolute best. The photos and videos were quite amazing (check them out!). Michael focused strongly on the "campaign" rather than constant talk of "price", working to his proven recipe that the best campaign will produce the best result. Michael's assistant, Mel, was brilliant through every stage! She was always anticipating our needs and ensuring we were clear on process whilst managing the campaign calendar to great detail. Nothing was too much trouble and any requests were actioned rapidly and professionally. The quality of communication back from Michael and his team blew me away! Feedback after open house sessions was detailed and I always felt I knew what was the "market" was saying about our property - not just positives but also any objections. Social media diagnostics were brilliant and each week we had in-depth briefings on status of buyer interest and feedback. The final outcome was excellent and we couldn't be happier. We highly recommend Michael to any vendors, you wont be disappointed!

Duncan has been totally professional throughout, despite a few difficulties with the resident tenants who made no effort to present the apartment in a good light. He and his team did excellent follow ups with us, discussing all the possibilities with prospective purchasers. The feedback we received was spot on accurate and we were very happy with the outcome..

Duncan has sold several properties for me in recent years and gained great results. He has kept me well informed all through the process of the prelisting and sales regarding styling, marketing and interested parties . Duncan's advice and my acting on it has helped greatly in achieving far better results for these sales. Thanks again Duncan for a job well done.

I'd highly recommend Michael Harris and his team. Everything to do with the sale of my property was handled quickly, efficiently and professionally. Michael's communication with me throughout the process was excellent, he gave regular updates on how the campaign was progressing. Melissa took on all the work to organise trades in a very short period of time in order to get my property ready to put on the market. And at the conclusion I was really happy with the sales result.

Firstly I would like to thank the whole team at Raine & Horne Newtown at the exceptional job they did to sell my house. From the first phone call I made advising I wanted to sell my house to the actual sale I was communicated all the way with what was going on. The advise I was given at what was needed to get the best price for the sale was the best advise I could have got. Duncan did an exceptional job in the negotiation with the sale. The price I got for the sale of my house exceeded my expectations.

We recently sold our home that we owned for 18 years in Newtown. Raine and Horne managed our property and we had built a relationship with the Property Management team and so it was a natural progression to also market and sell the house with the same agent. Michael and his team met with us and provided a marketing plan. We agreed the best result would be attained if we renovated and updated and set about work. The trades worked well together and the organisation in a short period of time went vey well. Melissa was on the phone and on the ball. The trades were excellent especially the painter. We felt we were in this project together with Michael and his team and thank them for their advice and contacts. We are very happy with our sale result.

Duncan Gordon acted for me on the auction sale of my property. From preparing the property for sale, styling, advertising and attending "opens", Duncan and his team performed efficiently and expeditiously. Duncan was always available for advice and I particularly appreciated his verbal and written updates after each "open". The effort he put into achieving such a good result is greatly appreciated.

This is the first time I had ever sold a house and it was easy to do it with Michael and his team. The only stressful period was just before the auction, when we weren't sure if we'd get a good outcome. But then it all went well. Its a team effort and it was great to have Michael leading the crew.

Michael marketed the sale of our house in Newtown and we have been very happy the result. His communication and that of his office with us throughout the marketing campaign up to auction day was second to none. He listened and took on board our feedback and provided useful advice when needed. Michael was knowledgeable and credible about the general market condition and the auction achieved an excellent result above our reserve price.

Duncan and the team were a pleasure to work with and all exceedingly professional throughout the campaign. Duncan was always on the phone with updates, communicating any concerns and feedback from potentail buyers. Even though the campaign dragged passed the auction he still stayed attentive to the process and negotiated the best possible price at the end. I will definitely use the Duncan and the team again in the future.
