Jorgia has been amazing the whole way through our house buying experience (long as it was). She was always very accommodating with our busy schedules to be able to fit us in. Thank you very much Jorgia and the whole Harcourts team.
I honestly couldn’t recommend OJ highly enough. From the very beginning, they were professional, approachable and incredibly easy to deal with. Selling my home was a big step, and they made the whole process feel so much easier. Communication was fantastic, they kept me informed throughout and were always available when I had questions or needed advice. Their knowledge of the market, attention to detail and negotiation skills really stood out. What I appreciated most was that I genuinely felt like they cared about getting the best possible result for me, rather than just making a sale. They went above and beyond throughout the entire process, and I always felt supported and in very safe hands. I’m so grateful for all their hard work in getting my property sold and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for an agent who is professional, trustworthy and genuinely cares about their clients.
I was lucky enough to deal with a very welcoming Jorja while buying my home. She was accommodating and communicated well. Her communication was clear and she was patient with us while we asked millions of questions. I also know we had sobody else deal with the paperwork. Tho I never interacted directly with jeremy who was handling the paperwork was easy to acess and follow and was quickly sorted with no issues.
Julian helped us negotiate our offer with the vendor, which was quickly accepted. It was all very seamless and easy. Julian has been very helpful and accommodating through the entire process. He has made it as stress-free as possible. Highly recommended by us. Thank you!
We could not fault Jeremy from start to finish on this journey, after being out of the game for some time, we were bought up to speed with changes to the market, given efficient guidance through the entire process, especially going to auction and it being nowhere near as scary as we anticipated. A what could've been a very overwhelming process made easy, highly recommend this agent, Thanks Jeremy.
Rewa has been fabulous to work with. She is very supportive, creative & a clear communicator with a can do attitude & she sees things outside the box.

If you want supportive, honest, realistic, fair advice and strategies that work then Rewa is the agent for you. 10/10
A professional and supportive team with excellent communication skills. They were friendly, approachable, and kept me well informed throughout the entire process. I really appreciated their genuine commitment through a stressful life event to providing help and support. Highly recommend special thanks to Sheyanne and team Kartolo.
Jeremy and his Team delivered a great result for us in a difficult market with election coming, upward trending interest rates, in the middle of winter. We had a lot of people through due to the great marketing Team Kartolo did. Happy with the result, thanks again!
Great communication with viewings and open homes with prompt responses. Excellent understanding of people’s needs who aren’t familiar in real estate, also made sure you understood what was happening during the whole process. Very considerate with allowing us time to review decisions to make sure we weren’t rushing into anything.
Jemima was patient, kept us up to date and was very helpful with all things especially for a first home buyer.

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.
