I never realized just how much work actually goes into selling a place. From photo's to signboard, to website, to open homes to followup and negotiation with potential buyers, to comprehensive reports on the campaign performance. Michael Harris and his team are extremely professional and make you feel at ease and confident in what would otherwise be very stressful situation. I had a great result and couldn't be happier - Highly recommended.

We were delighted with the service and regular communication provided by Michael and his Team at the office regarding the sale of our property. The property had been taken to auction by another Agency before Christmas but attracted nil buyers. Michael achieved 13 contracts and 6 attended the Auction to produce a sale above reserve price. Perhaps the best outcome of the process was the consistently high level of communication to reassure us as owners. This amounted to daily phone calls and emails. His entire staff team were extremely professional, courteous and anticipatyed needs exceptionally well. We would return to Michael for our next sale without hesitation.

Michael seems to have an almost supernatural ability to be everywhere at once, whilst at all times remaining calm, calming, courteous and crisp in all his communications. He also happens to be the best dressed realtor in Australia. He and his team were very professional. Together they guided us step by step through what many find a stressful experience in a relaxed way … and somehow in the process managed to get us a price that well exceeded our expectations. We would recommend Michael and his team without reservation for any Inner West sale.

We bought a property through Duncan and the Raine and Horne Newtown team a few months back and decided that they were the perfect team to assist with selling our existing property. Yes, of course I carry out my due diligence and approached another 2 real estate agencies in the area, but it was obvious that Duncan and the team were a lot more genuine and processes a lot more passion in what they do. We were guided through each step of the selling process and provided update after every house opening, as well as weekly updates on the marketing campaign. Our property was sold after 4 weeks with a very successful outcome. Thanks to Duncan and the team for a smooth and successful sale. Will definitely recommend you guys to family and friends.

I consulted Duncan 6 months before auction & he provided an honest opinion & realistic expectations for possible sale. There was absolutely no 'hard sell' & his information was provided in a balanced & professional manner. Once we decided to proceed, he promptly provided renovation & marketing options, all very clear & of significant value for money. His experience in the Inner Sydney area was obvious and he was happy to share this in optimising the marketing plan. Communication during the renovation & home dressing was second to none. With us living overseas, Duncan regularly emailed but also was available anytime if we had any concerns. He was realistic with the plan & initially recommended rolling the schedule by a week to ensure everything was top notch. Closer to the first open house, Duncan altered the plan as preparations were completed early & we were ready to go. During the marketing campaign, Duncan provided prompt & exhaustive analysis of every prospective buyer. The information he obtained was accurate, as I am sure the prospective buyers also appreciated his honest answers to any inquiry. I was very impressed that he established relationships with each prospective buyer & provided balanced feedback. Approaching the planned auction date, Duncan contacted us to advise of possible offers prior to auction that were positive but also realistic. Based on his advice I was happy to pursue this avenue & he achieved an amazing price in excess of what we expected. I have dealt with numerous agents over the years, and I can honestly say that the level of service, expertise & honesty we received from Duncan is over & above any other agent. I would recommend him without reservation. Great job Duncan!

Michael was recommended by friends. At all times before,during and after the sale process we found Michael and his team to be very professional and responsive to us and our potential purchasers. Michael was always very approachable and appeared to have a 'down to earth' attitude to the market. We had no hesitation in giving complete trust to him in the whole sale process. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Michael and his team.

Michael and his team did a great job of marketing our property in Camperdown. At the outset he clearly explained his strategy and made good suggestions for the campaign. We were kept fully informed about progress with regular updates and feedback from potential buyers after each viewing. In this regard we would like to mention Karen Sheppard who did a fantastic job during each viewing and for keeping us up to date during the process. The end result was well beyond our expectations and we are more than satisfied with the sale price that was achieved at auction. We would not hesitate to recommend Newton Raine & Horne.

We greatly appreciated the advice and assistance of Duncan Gordon of R&H Newtown and team (with special mention to Steven Bryanton) . We took Duncan’s styling advice and the house looked fantastic for what was a very minimal cost – it is a pleasure to live with it so nice even if only for a short period. Priceless for us was being able to access R&H’s wide range of tradespeople as we were finding it impossible to get someone to fix a difficult piece of guttering/balcony that needed to be done pre sale. Apart from that we used their internal painter, landscaper, cleaner, and gardener saving much time and effort looking ourselves with consequent risk of poor work. The photography and printed material were outstanding. Duncan and Steven hit the right note at the open inspections, and communicated with us effectively – meaning not too often in the early stages of the process and more often later – just right in fact. The original price estimate of the house was overstated but we suspect buyers now pay a premium for a house that needs minimal work and is pristinely finished /plastered rather than one with more space and character. We are extremely happy at being able to move on with our plans. Thanks again to the team !

My congratulations to Duncan and his team! From the outset, Duncan built a working relationship with me and through the entire process kept me completely informed and discussed the options on any decisions that needed to be made. His communication skills, reliability and strategic approach gave me confidence in his ability to deliver. And he did!

We have dealt with Raine and Horne Newtown on numerous occasions for both the sale of our home and renting our investment property. On all occasions we have found the staff to be very professional and easy to deal with. During the sales campaign for our home, Duncan was extremely reliable, always communicating with us as promised and we were very happy with the outcome. Thanks again Duncan!

This is the first property I have sold in Sydney City, and the team at Raine and Horne Newtown made the process simple, straight forward with an excellent result. Michael and his staff provide five star service at all times, and I felt fully supported right throughout the selling process. Michael's expert knowledge and generosity with his time, as well as his wonderful management staff made the experience manageable and indeed quite pleasurable. I would fully recommend his services to others and will certainly be working with him again in the future. Thank you Michael for all your hard work.

A big thank you to Duncan Gordon and his team for the fantastic result we achieved in the sale of our apartment at 29/54 Johnston Street, Annandale. Duncan’s professionalism, honesty and reliability put me at ease throughout the whole selling process. He was very knowledgeable with regards to the market, what buyers were looking for and the best marketing campaign to use to maximise potential buyers. Throughout the campaign, Duncan was in constant communication and went to great lengths to show my apartment to buyers outside of Saturday’s open for inspections. I truly believe that it was Duncan’s hard work, negotiation skills and years of experience that secured us a sale price above my expectations. I highly recommend Duncan to anyone selling their property and will definately enlist him as my agent the next time I sell. -Cindy
