Nicky came highly recommended, and for good reason. She spotted potential in my house that other agents had missed, put in real effort to prepare it for market, and helped me achieve a sale price beyond my expectations. I'm telling everyone about her!
Mel was fantastic as we are going through a lot at the moment . Kept in touch with us over everything and gave us the space when we needed it. Everything went smoothly and easy. Thank you for everything Mel ❤️
When i first enquired to sell my house I called Harcourts. They sent the one the only Nicky Rennie. Her wonderful tornado of enthusiasm, motivation, and determination. She turned process that was daunting to a step by step process to achieve a journey less travel, home ownership to its final step selling. Here communication allowed us to determine the best price, market, strategy, and the knowledge and support of Harcourts and ALL OTHER AGENTS at my disposal. If you are lucky enough to get her as your agent you can utilise her skills not just of selling but also her outdoor home beautification and her radio voice. I recommend her for all your home selling needs. Im not a paid actor just a very satisfied customer who felt she went above and beyond.
Kara was a pleasure to work with. It was our first time selling a home and she graciously supported us through entire process, answering lots of questions and concerns. Kara worked hard all the way through the sale providing comprehensive reports and insights into how the sale process was going. We really valued her caring nature and desire to see us with the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend Kara as a dedicated and supportive real estate agent.

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.
Through verified reviews and price satisfaction insights, we highlight top-performing agents who consistently exceed client expectations.
