Amazing communication, organisation and support every step of the way

We had such a great experience with Marlena. Selling our first home felt pretty scary, but she made the whole process so much easier. She was always friendly, approachable, and happy to answer any questions or clear up any doubts we had. Her communication was fantastic. She kept us in the loop the whole way through, checked in regularly to make sure we were okay or see if we needed anything, and was always quick to reply. She was also super organised, which really helped us stay on top of everything and know what to expect. We’re very thankful for all her help and would 100% recommend Marlena to anyone looking to sell their home.

Buying a property can be overwhelming, but Marlena made it feel effortless. She was so helpful from the first viewing right through to settlement. Her communication was excellent, she was always available, and she really looked out for us as buyers. If you want a trustworthy agent in your corner, Marlena is the one.

Incredible communication throughout. Clear, calm, and an absolute pleasure to deal with!

Communication from Marlena was incredible from start to finish. She was clear, calm, honest, and always timely. We always felt informed and knew exactly where things were at, which we especially appreciated as we were navigating the sale during a very busy time in our lives. Marlena gave practical, balanced advice without ever making us feel pressured. She was professional, approachable, and genuinely great to deal with. Selling a house is never without its stresses, but she made the whole experience feel well managed and much less overwhelming. We couldn't recommend Marlena more highly to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

From start to finish we had an amazing experience working with Marlena Dance, from Harcourts. She recommended an exceptional Marketing Plan (including an impressive video) creating maximum exposure, of our property, to the market. Marlena personally dedicated a huge amount of time getting to know our home and worked tirelessly with potential buyers, through Open Homes and private viewings. We appreciated her good communication with updating us daily on progress, through to the Auction day. If you are looking for an honest, hardworking professional salesperson, someone with tonnes of enthusiasm and is result driven, then look no further than Marlena!
