Mel worked very hard to secure our sale she is very knowledgeable and works well with all the different type of purchases. We would highly recommend her services. Thanks Mel
No words can be enough to explain the amazing service we received from Shelley. Shelley went over and above what we thought realestate agents did. She worked very hard to sell our house. She was very responsive to our situation having to sell the house from another country. We were so comfortable leaving her to manage the property while we were away. We could not recommend her enough to anyone looking for real trustworthy, down to earth roll-your-sleeves up southern service. Her strongest attribute was just her pure honesty and good advice. Thank you Shelley and the Harcourts team.
Shelley was an amazing agent for us as first home buyers. She shared our excitment and was happy to answer all of our questions. She was readily availible to share her knowledge, open and honest about the process and shared her own experiences. Lots of smiles and laughter dealing with Shelley. She is an agent that you can trust and build a relationship with. She shows understanding towards her clients and always puts their needs first.

I cannot thank Mel enough for her outstanding service, professionalism and dedication throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, Mel went above and beyond to make everything as smooth, stress-free and positive as possible. Her communication was excellent, keeping me informed every step of the way and always making herself available to answer questions, offer advice and provide reassurance. Her knowledge of the market, attention to detail, genuine commitment and exceptional negotiation skills made me feel confident that I was in very capable hands. I particularly appreciated Mel’s friendly approach, honesty, patience and willingness to go the extra mile, to the point where she would water my house plants each week and let people into the house to collect items because I was living out of town. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and I always felt valued and supported rather than just another client. My feedback would simply be to keep doing what you are doing! Your dedication, communication and personal touch really set you apart from the rest. Thank you for making what can often be a stressful experience such a positive one. I am incredibly grateful for all your hard work and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to anyone looking to buy or sell property. A truly deserving 5-star rating. Exceptional service from start to finish!
Wonderful experience selling our family home, Anita made the process so easy and her communication was outstanding. Third time we have used Anita to sell a property and we have been very impressed each time highly recommend if you are looking for a very professional agent.
Great pre-listing market report and quick to get things moving forward. Mel always answered our questions promptly and was quick to get things done after we engaged her as our agent. We would use her again.

Every verified review on RateMyAgent is linked to a specific property transaction, ensuring that the feedback comes from real buyers and sellers. This also allows you to view key property details - such as location and number of bedrooms - so you can find reviews relevant to your own real estate journey. With our verification process, you can trust that the experiences shared are real, reliable, and helpful.
Integrity is at the core of what we do. We conduct rigorous daily integrity checks on all reviews, using multi-stage verification to analyse submission data and behavioural patterns for potential anomalies. Suspicious reviews may be rejected outright or escalated for further scrutiny by our internal team.
Transparency and fairness are core to how RateMyAgent works. While it’s sometimes assumed that only positive reviews appear on our platform, that’s not the case.
Only clients involved in an actual transaction with an agent can leave a review. This helps ensure authenticity and prevents fake or anonymous feedback. Agent's have no control over what’s written - every review, whether positive or critical, is published and remains visible.
