Ben Noakes from Harcourts took the initiative with the sale of my longheld and much loved property in Scarborough. Ben was enthusiastic, professional, handling the sale through to completion very thoroughly. Many thanks Ben!
You won’t find anything less than a five star rating when reading reviews of Ben and the service he, supported by the team at Harcourts Empire, provides his clients. Glowing reference to his excellent market knowledge, faultless communication, and going above and beyond to achieve amazing results is echoed in almost every one. Our review is no exception. Rather than repeat what so many before us have already said however, we wanted to emphasise the significant and lasting effect Ben had on us - two sisters facing the difficult and very emotional decision to sell the family home of 30+ years, after the loss of our father. Not only were we clueless about how to sell a house, we were still a little internally conflicted, emotionally overwhelmed, and… exhausted. Just trying to choose an agent was almost too hard. Ben came personally recommended to us and not only did he really fight for us, the sense that we could completely place our trust in him was felt almost instantly through his genuine, personable and honest nature. He guided us through the process from start to finish with empathy and sensitivity, got us listed in an unbelievably swift time, and he got us an outcome better than we had allowed ourselves to hope for. We were able to fulfil one last wish for our dad by handing over the house to people who love it like he did, ensuring his life’s work lives on, and helped a young couple/first home buyers in a tough market of hungry developers. It was never just about the money for us but we certainly weren’t expecting we’d achieve such a perfect ending as well as achieve a top result financially. Not only did he live up to every review, he exceeded all expectations and made saying goodbye to ‘home’ as good as anyone could. I have no hesitation in recommending Ben to anyone looking for an agent - whether in a situation like we were in or not.
Working with Ben Nokes has been an excellent experience. He made selling our investment property extremely straightforward and stress free, and then went above and beyond to secure our next home off market. Ben is easy to deal with, proactive, and genuinely committed to getting the best outcome. We couldn’t be happier with the result.
Ben was terrific throughout the process, with the market being very competitive atm, efficient communication was really important to us. Ben was really responsive in the lead up to settlement and assisted in making the whole process really smooth. Cheers again Ben

Ben is very professional and knowledgable in the market that we required. Our sale went easily and had no complications and communication was the urmost.
Ben was fantastic to work with, ensuring the transaction was smooth from start to finish and went out of his way to ensure everything was well communicated between the buyer and seller.
We had an absolutely amazing experience selling our property with Ben. He achieved a record result for the suburb, which speaks volumes about his expertise and dedication. From start to finish, he was genuine, easy to work with and incredibly professional, nothing was ever too hard, and his communication made the whole process seamless. We couldn’t recommend him more highly and wouldn’t hesitate to call him again when it’s time to sell our next home. Truly outstanding service.
Ben made the whole process easy from start to finish. His strategy worked perfectly for what we needed, especially given our property was quite unique and still tenanted for another year. We were really happy with the outcome, the price, timeframe and conditions all suited us perfectly. I also really appreciated the way Ben kept us updated. He set up a WhatsApp chat between the three of us, which was such a simple but effective idea so we could all stay in the loop. I’d definitely recommend Ben. Even in a market where homes are selling quickly, I believe having the right agent still makes a big difference and with Ben, you get a better result.
