Peter helped us sell our first home. He was professional, knowledgeable and very responsive. He made sure we felt comfortable with the auction process and kept us in the loop.

Cheryl is very experienced and has a lovely manner. She communicated immediately, knew how to word advertisements for the market, had done her research thoroughly and had excellent advice. At no time was she pushy was very professional at all times and we knew after our first visit that she was the agent for us.
We started looking for a home with Ada at the beginning of 2026, and it wasn’t until the end of August that we finally completed our purchase. From the very beginning, Ada told us that she would be there with us throughout the whole journey — and she truly kept that promise. What we appreciated most was that Ada did so much more than simply take us to view properties. With incredible patience, she helped us gradually understand what we were really looking for and realise that knowing our own needs was probably the most important part of finding the right home. When we finally found a house we loved, Ada’s professional auction experience and negotiation skills were invaluable. She helped us secure the property at a very reasonable price, and we couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. We feel incredibly lucky to have had Ada alongside us throughout this journey. She is professional, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what she does. Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you can make in life, and having someone who truly cares about their work and their clients makes such a difference. We would happily recommend Ada to anyone looking for the right person to guide them through the process.
Zani’s ‘education’ session was detailed, comprehensive and very well delivered. Her regular, high quality feedback on developments & the state of play were most reassuring! Her knowledge and ability to read a situation were hallmarks of a real professional. From go to who’s, dealing with Zani has been both a revelation and a pleasure as we faced the daunting task of choosing our next major life change. Zani went beyond the call of duty to expose us to the market and guide us towards our final decision. She has been with us all the way and has made a challenging phase of our lives seamlessly negotiable! Zani’s warmth and articulateness are standout features of a successful campaign.

We approached Sean to sell our home as he had sold many others in our area in the past and we knew he had plenty of experience. Sean was highly professional, knowledgeable and led us through the process in a calm and reassuring manner. Sean worked incredibly hard during our campaign, and at our auction, getting us the result we wanted. The entire Harcourts process works like a well-oiled machine and we would highly recommend Sean and his team to anyone looking to sell their home.
Derek was very helpful, professional and supportive throughout the whole process. He was always easy to communicate with, responsive, and happy to answer any questions I had. Most of the houses I viewed were after work, but he was still willing to come along with me each time and was always patient, even when the viewings took longer than expected. During the property viewings, he was very thorough and paid attention to many details that I might otherwise have overlooked. Whenever I had questions, concerns or was unsure about something related to a property, he would patiently help me look into it, find the relevant information and explain it clearly. He also helped me better understand different properties and the buying process, which made it much easier for me to make informed decisions. I never felt rushed or pressured, which I really appreciated. He was reliable, approachable and supportive throughout the whole journey, and I felt comfortable asking him about anything I was unsure of. Buying a house is a big decision, and having someone experienced and patient to guide me through the process made a real difference. I really appreciated all the time and effort Derek put in to help me, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy a property
