Genuine & Trustworthy

Michael secured us a record price for our area in Newtown. Throughout our campaign Michael was in constant communication and gave us his honest opinion when asked for advice, not lip service and sales jargon. Selling our home was a huge decision but during the entire process we felt confident that we were in good hands which helped keep our nerves at bay. The end result justified our trust and confidence in Michael. We certainly highly recommend Michael to any prospective sellers.

Michael is the consumate professional

I have worked with Michael twice now and on both occasions he has provided honest and comprehensive dialogue during what is inevitably a very stressful time. The team are great to work with and delivered on all accountabilities, from getting back to me when they said they would, to arranging the associated trades to come in to get the house ready for sale - photography etc. I have no hesitation recommending Michael and the team.

Purchasing and selling With Michael - so enjoyable.

I have recently worked with Michael to sell my appartment in Sydney. I chose Michael because when I bought my apartment in 2007, he was the agent involved. Michael offered such great, honest and efficient service I remembered him and asked him to help me sell it 13 years later. Michael's professional manner has only improved. Thank you so much for your help Michael.

Local knowledge with a friendly team

We asked Michael to sell our house because of his knowledge and experience of the Newtown area, even with what we believed was a house that would be easy to sell, his experience gave us extra confidence. But it was his years of experience and honest communication that got us through the tumultuous experience of selling a house during a pandemic. He guided us through the ever-changing conditions, and re-strategising to sell in such uncertain times, moving from an auction campaign to no auction at all, from full open houses in the first week to only showing through individuals by the end. His communication was amazing at every stage of the process. Often with daily updates - always positive but also realistic. - Melvin and Tania

Beyond Exceptional

Beyond Exceptional

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!

Experience with style

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.

Knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to work with

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.
