Our case was somewhat complex as we have just learned about monolithic cladding and it should have been clearly disclosed to us before we bid on the property at auction four years ago. Luckily, our selling agent Belinda Dunster handled the situation very well by apologising on behalf of Harcourts, where certain practices may put the real estate industry into disrepute and fall short of the community's expectations. From start to finish, Belinda demonstrated flexibility and efficiency. She is diligent and confident, with a strong customer focus approach. Her broad local knowledge will benefit everyone who is seeking help in selling their homes. We can’t recommend her enough for her expertise, dedication and genuine commitment to helping her clients achieve the best outcomes possible.

Belinda Dunster was superb to work with, from the moment I met her through to the sale of my property and subsequently. Not only was the property sold very quickly--in about one month, sooner than I had anticipated--but the sale price also exceeded my expectations. Belinda's advice about the best marketing strategy was 100 percent accurate (e.g., to have the home staged professionally and to choose an auction). I had always thought that an empty property needs to be staged and that, given the school catchment area, an auction would obtain the best result for me. After speaking with Belinda my hunch was confirmed. Belinda also gave me regular updates about every open home that was held as well as feedback when other realtors took their clients to view the property. I sensed from the outset that Belinda would commit herself fully to obtaining a very good result for me as the property owner. At no stage was I disappointed. Belinda's energy and enthusiasm was infectious. Her professionalism was always to the fore. I chose Belinda to be the realtor for the sale of my property because of the many positive reviews I'd read about her along with recommendations from people I knew who had worked with Belinda. Her warm personality, great communication skills, delightful sense of humour, and her sincerity impressed me. I knew she would be a superb advocate for selling my property and I willingly took her advice about anything associated with the sale. Belinda never waivered in her dedication to obtaining a very good sale outcome. She certainly succeeded! I have no hesitation in recommending Belinda as a superb person to work with whenever a property is being considered for sale. I would gladly deal with her again!

Belinda is a "people person" who is genuinely looking to help you navigate selling your property with as little stress as possible—she’s warm, empathetic, and absolutely “walks the talk.” She has natural intuition about the market and the best strategy for the season, with an uncanny ability to pick the right moment to list—my home sold after just a week and a half in the middle of winter, not by “waiting for summer”! The staging crew she engaged did an amazing job and made the property look a million dollars, which clearly lifted buyer interest. “Nothing’s a bother” for Belinda—she’s exceptionally hard‑working and proactive, and she does it all for you, not for herself. With my sale, she achieved an excellent result fast; one that was beyond my expectation! I highly recommend Belinda and the Harcourts Gold team. Thank you so much, Belinda! A++
