Sharlene has been awesome since the beginning of the process. Right from the plan, executing the plans at the beginning until the very end. You can clearly tell she knows what she is doing and knows the market very well. I would highly recommend Sharlene! We have nothing but good word for her. Our friends have started contacting her as well and she has been such a great help and have done such an amazing job in helping us and others. She is definitely a keeper! Kudos Sharlene!

Sonia is exceptional at what she does and consistently goes above and beyond to support you throughout your journey. Her dedication, professionalism, and commitment made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. The level of professionalism demonstrated by Sonia and the Harcourts team is outstanding and truly sets them apart from other real estate agencies in the market. The way Sonia coordinated every aspect of both the sale and the purchase was exceptional, ensuring everything came together smoothly and successfully. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

The RateMyAgent Experience
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. All agents can request and collect reviews for free, and subscription status has no impact on rankings or award eligibility.
