Amanda Rakusic

Every home holds a story: the morning light through familiar windows, sunset comfort coming back home each evening. Letting go of our home was never going to be easy. Amanda made it feel like a gentle passing of the torch rather than a farewell. Her communication and dedication were a constant, steady current beneath the whole journey. After every home open and every buyer enquiry, her thoughtful updates arrived, keeping us on course through every uncertain moment. No call went unanswered and no message lingered. She was always there, calm, warm and unwavering. Amanda didn’t just sell a house. She honoured our home. She carried our memories with care and placed them gently into new hands. We’re deeply grateful, and we’d recommend her to anyone standing at the threshold of their next chapter in life.

Amanda was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the sale of my property. From our very first meeting, she was knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome. Her communication was excellent. She kept me informed every step of the way, responded promptly to questions, and made what could have been a very stressful process feel manageable and straightforward. Amanda's professionalism, market knowledge, and attention to detail gave me confidence throughout the campaign. She worked tirelessly, negotiated effectively, and always had my best interests at heart. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Amanda to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and outstanding service.

Amanda and Ryan sold our property very quickly and helped with everything from start to finish making the whole process really simple. They engaged the stylist, had great tips along the way and also recommended the conveyancer. Really recommended them to anyone selling in the hills area.

After living in and loving our Ferny Creek home for 30 years, selling it was a significant and emotional decision. Our Ferny Creek home was far more than just a property to us — it represented 30 years of memories, family life and connection to the area — so choosing the right agent was incredibly important. From our very first meeting we knew Amanda was exactly the right person to trust with our home. She immediately understood its character, setting and the things that made it so special. It was clear she genuinely appreciated the property and knew exactly how to present it to the market. Throughout the entire marketing and sales campaign Amanda’s communication was outstanding. She kept us informed at every step, was honest and realistic in her advice, and handled everything with professionalism while still making the experience feel positive and even enjoyable. Amanda’s understanding of our home and the local market clearly played a major role in achieving such an outstanding result. The final sale price exceeded our expectations and we were absolutely delighted with the outcome. Amanda and her team were the complete opposite of the old stereotype of a pushy real estate agent — instead they were genuine, transparent, professional and a pleasure to work with. If you are considering selling in the Dandenong Ranges, we would strongly recommend speaking with Amanda and the Bell Real Estate Olinda team before anyone else.

Amanda made the whole process of selling our house straightforward and kept us informed of all steps along the way. Her communication is top notch. She has excellent industry contacts which we requested to use (staging, conveyancer etc), and the support team she has at Bell are great.

Dealing with Amanda over the process of selling our house has been an extremely positive experience. Her knowledge of the market, her attention to detail and her commitment to the job made the process feel very personal while being completely professional. At no time did it feel like selling our house was a chore to her. She kept us well informed and was easy to communicate with. I would recommend her, and the whole team at Bell Real Estate, to anyone needing an agent to sell their house.
