Director Duncan Gordon

About

Cant find a better agent.

My wife and I bought and sold our house with Duncan. He is an honest and open operator who is easy to get along with. Which in an industry that isn't known for always being trustworthy is extremely refreshing.

I couldn't recommend Duncan enough.

Robert Vergouw

Stress free Sale

I felt very relaxed throughout the process. Duncan communicated every aspect clearly and was always contactable. I would highly recommend using Duncan and Raine and Horne Newtown as honest and professional agents for the sale of a property.

Catherine Wiles

Simply, one of the best in the area!

Duncan and his team provided exceptional service. Always being fair and supplying accurate advice both on my property and current market conditions. I am always impressed with his communication skills and knowledge of the local and wider real estate markets. Duncan achieved a result for my sale way beyond my expectations.

I have known Duncan professionally for 16 years, I bought my home from him and then he sold it all those years later.

In that time, I have recommended Duncan to friends who have also used his service and they too talk highly of his dedication and professionalism.

Spencer Kirk

Great Communicator and Trustworthy

Duncan and Vishnu were a pleasure to work with. They communicated well, with informative updates and manage expectations around prospective buyers. We trusted their strategy and it delivered the result we wanted.

Always had time to answer questions and hear feedback. Great experience. Would recommend.

Francesca Flatman

Great professional who is well established in the Newtown/Erskineville area

Duncan and his team made an off market sale into a very efficient 7 day sale. His database mailing and effective openings were very well run and provided multiple interested parties.

Valerie Kuczek

Good choice!

Duncan's local experience and knowledge reassured us that their team was the best choice for our property sale. They did not disappoint and achieved a fantastic result for us.

Hassan Gabru & Salamah Gabru

Knows the Newtown market very well.

Have known Duncan for over 12 years and would not hesitate to recommend him to any prospective seller or buyer.

Brett Camwell

Exceptional agent

Backed by a solid team that is professional and shows a lot of care in what they do, Duncan is an exceptional real estate agent who has a great wealth of knowledge in the industry; excellent communication, managing expectation and negotiation.

This is our second sale completed by Duncan and his team. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Ferry Lubis & Michael Anthony

On my side

Selling the property was not easy given massive building works and a tired looking block. But Duncan (and his very supportive team) worked overtime to secure a sale at the full asking price.

Peter Wilson

Fantastic Agent

Duncan is very professional and knows the market really well. He is not that agent who over quotes in order to win the listing and then condition the owner to lower the expectation to "meet the market". The price guide he gave us during the interview process was exactly the final sales price he achieved within 2 weeks of the marketing campaign.

The supporting team is also amazing and no detail was left unattended. The logistic of photography, styling furniture was extremely smooth and right on the proposed time table. I cannot recommend Duncan’s team more if you are consider selling.

Hugo Lai

Very hands on, honest & transparent

Very reasonable with the approach making us comfortable with the process. Not an easy thing to go through the process. We are very pleased with the auction result. Thanks to the team who personally stationed at every house inspection session.

Kim Tan

Trust and reliability

I would highly recommend Duncan and his team. He is trustworthy, reliable and a very good communicator. He recently secured my sale in a tight market and working outside his normal area.

Samuel Bunyan

Sale of unit in King Street Newtown

Sale of unit King St in Newtown

Duncan and his crew gave us full support with their knowledge of the current market at the time of us contracting for the sale up to the actual sale. With their support they organised cleaners to clean as required and get the unit presentation ready for sale. During the sale process Duncan and his team kept us up to date with the progress and nothing was a problem to them. Their knowledge of the local market trends was exemplary. Many thanks to the Duncan team.

Maureen Foster

Hassle free !

I couldn’t have asked for a better agent! Duncan was very knowledgeable and accommodating. The whole process was hassle free. Overall, it was a great experience!

Charlie Taouk

Experienced and professional

Duncan has been highly proactive and responsive in the communication which made the sale process easier. Very professional and experienced!

Cindy Chen

Great communication and local knowledge

Duncan was all that you’d hope for in an agent. He kept us informed at all times of progress and got the price we’d hoped.

Simon Beets

Fantastic communication and knowledge

Duncan made the entire process of selling our home easy. He has extensive knowledge of the market and local area. His communication was great and the outcome definitely exceeded our expectations. We would recommend Duncan to anyone wanting to sell their home.

Lucinda Cull

Excellent agent

Duncan was very professional and updated us regularly throughout the marketing campaign. He is very approachable and easy to deal with. I would highly recommend him!

Kristofer Reed

Excellent Realestate Agent

My husband and I have chosen Duncan among other agents because of his professionalism, sincerity and friendly attitude.

Pauline Lam

Professional, Efficient, 10% More $

Duncan and his entire team were an absolute pleasure to work with. I am interstate and wanted to try selling my property for the second time after unsuccessfully listing it previously with a different agent. I looked up the best agents in the area, negotiated a brilliant fee, and Duncan sold the property before the first home open for almost 10% more than I was expecting. I am thrilled to bits that I chose Duncan and his team. His communication, professionalism and cheerful attitude were more than I was expecting and the whole experience was super easy.

Klaas Nauta & Nadia Elliott - vendor

Excellent from the start!

From our initial engagement to the close of the auction Duncan has been professional, friendly and provided great advice while managing our expectations. The team at R&H Newtown solved problems, made suggestions and did all they could to optimise the campaign and sale.

We could not be happier with the outcome we achieved through their guidance and management of the process.

We highly recommend Duncan and his team.

Robyn Wheeler - Vendor

Particularly excellent experience

Worked with Duncan to sell my 2 bedder apartment - from the get go he was particularly helpful and prompt with getting it ready for sale. Very happy with the outcome, couldn't have asked for any more.

David Currie - Vendor

Great service and an excellent sale price

Duncan gave us fantastic personalised service every step of the way in the sale of our house in Sydenham. He demonstrated an excellent knowledge of the market and was across every detail in the presentation of our property. While Duncan took the lead, he was ably assisted by colleagues Matthew, Joanna, Vivienne and Vishnu.

Donna Maegraith - Vendor

Thanks Duncan

As the executor of a deceased estate, I am very happy with the service received from Duncan. The old house was falling down and was in places, dangerous. I was particularly pleased with the advice he gave to me as to the matters to be attended to in the property before putting the property up for auction. I am sure that was part of the reason we got a good price, quite a lot more than I was expecting. Many of the potential buyers were considering restoring the house and I know he had long conversations with them during the course of the inspections to that aspect of the property.

Dennis Hardman - Vendor

Professional and Efficient

Duncan is very knowledgeable of the area and the market. This is the most efficient sale we have ever had.

Ferry Lubis - Vendor

It was a very satisfactory experience

Duncan was a very professional, friendly, capable person who paid attention to details. He was always available to answer any questions. His knowledge of market conditions was very accurate. He provided an extremely well thought out plan of action with regard to the auction and potential possible outcomes. I would certainly recommend him to other people wishing to either sell or purchase property.

Jill Pidcock - Vendor

Thank you!

Duncan and his amazing helpful team made a difficult time much easier

They were all very helpful and kept me in the picture at all times!

Charlotte Tily - Vendor

Results, communication and dedication on point

Duncan and his team were a pleasure to work with, constant communication and dedication to getting the results we needed. Duncan is easy to talk with, not like some of our previous experiences. If you're looking for someone dedicated, listens and can talk to you like a colleague this team is for you. Thanks for achieving the results in this difficult market stage.

Andrew Gersteling - Vendor

Excellent service with a fantastic result

Duncan and his team at Raine & Horne Newtown did a brilliant job from start to finish with the sale of our apartment. They arranged everything with getting the apartment ready for viewing. Their professionalism and communication was fantastic with updates a couples times a week. Duncan’s market knowledge was spot on and we received a great price for the sale. We would definitely recommend Duncan and his team if you’re looking to sell.

Brian Judd - Vendor

First class in every aspect

Duncan's knowledge of the market was first class. He advised on every aspect of the selling process with a professional manner. After every open house he would give us feedback.

I would highly recommend Duncan.

Scott Metcalfe - Vendor

Dilapidated Dump

I inherited a home which had been owned by a hoarder. It had not been cleaned in 25 years and all the rooms except the bathroom and kitchen, (also filthy) were piled with rubbish. The yard, which had not been used for years was completely overgrown and the neighbours were tearing their hair. I despaired but Duncan was equal to the task. He arranged rubbish removal, garden clearing and house cleaning. In the depths of a market slump he achieved a sale 20% above my wildest dreams. He's a true professional!!

Wade Smith - Vendor

Professional approach and a great communicator

A very positive experience with Duncan and his team. Duncan had great advice on the best approach to maximising the sale price.

He kept me informed throughout the process, and the end result was above my expectations.

Ian Crofts - Vendor

Professional and super helpful with great style, communication and expertise

Very happy with Duncan (and his team)'s efforts in selling our property - he provided excellent expert advice on all aspects of the sale strategy and process, took plenty of time as needed, was efficient in organising associated work (styling, inspection report, paperwork), stayed in close touch through the campaign and, importantly, negotiated an excellent pre-auction outcome. And he is just such a great person to work with! Thank you!

Lynette McLoughlin - Vendor

2nd time around!

This was our 2nd sale with Duncan and his team in a few short months! Amazing and professional as always.

Thank you for a wonderful result!

Matt Grima - Vendor

A very comfortable process

I met Duncan around 2013 when he sold a property belonging to my cousin and me in Erskineville around 2013.

He is not only a very nice human being but as the sold sign shows he is excellent at what he does and enjoys what he does.

Gail McGee - Vendor

Lovely experience and great result!

I have known and done work with Duncan for quite a few years seeing him always getting great results and taking out all the awards in the real estate industry. Seeing this I knew Duncan was the right person for the job. He dealt with me professionally and openly, calling me with regular updates and feedback. We surpassed expectations in the current market and very happy with Duncan and the whole team at R & H Newtown. Looking forward to doing it again in the future.

Cameron Slee - Vendor

A solid campaign and excellent result

Duncan and the Raine and Horne team ran an excellent sales and marketing campaign that generated a lot of interest in our property. He diligently followed up after each open house and provided regular updates. His guidance on the market, price expectations and presentation of the house was top notch.

Bruce Murphy - Vendor

Duncan Gordan was always available for advice and was patient when we were unsure of what to do

We were unsure of selling, never having done it before. Duncan and the team at Raine and Horne Newtown were very good at explaining all aspects involved in selling our house. We never had a bad experience while working with Duncan and the team.

We would recommend Duncan and the team to anyone thinking of selling a house.

Andrew Pearson

Duncan delivers again

Duncan Gordon delivered a sensational result selling this property in a difficult market. Duncan's communication and service all the way through the campaign kept me up to date with his progress, ending with a successful auction outcome.

Mary Gillespie - Vendor

Very helpful in every way

I have found Mr Dungan Gordon to be extremely helpful in every aspect.

I thank him and his team for the effort they have given my property to be sold.

Thank you to everyone.

Maria Alis - Vendor

Excellent outcome.

Duncan was good a managing our expectations, negotiating the outcome given that the parties involved were a bit bullish.

Fergus Cumming

Very Professional

From the first time Duncan came to my house he has always kept me updated on what was happening during the campaign

He is truthful and didn’t give me unrealistic expectations

He worked extremely hard to sell my house at auction in a very difficult market

I would highly recommend anyone selling their property to give Duncan a call

Kaye - Vendor

Genuine Professional

Duncan has a stellar reputation in our local community, and we know why! Duncan and his team were lovely to work with and managed our campaign with transparency, agility, respect and professionalism. No request was too hard, and we knew that we were in safe hands the entire way through the sale process. Duncan built trust with us very quickly and I could not recommend him any higher. He delivered for us (always with a smile) and we are very grateful for his time and for the experience.

Skye Anderson - Vendor

A straight up and down top bloke

If Duncan ever has down days, I never saw one. He was always cheerful, very patient and refreshingly honest – and so was his team. My sale was complicated by circumstances beyond my control, but Duncan didn’t bat an eye: together we worked out plan A, B and C with go/no go points well understood. In the end, Duncan negotiated a pre-market sale for the kind of price we agreed we’d be likely to achieve at auction – without the palaver of home opens. Thank you, Duncan!

Nic Svenson - Vendor

Safe hands

The thing that sets Duncan apart is his exceptional communication skills - not only did he guide us every step of the way in a calm and positive manner, he also actively listened and responded to what we wanted and needed every step of the way, (which sets him apart from many agents we met with), shared his extensive knowledge about the market and supported us through what can be a stressful experience with his cheerful and professional manner. Would absolutely recommend Duncan.

Sandra Price - Vendor

Legend of the business

Duncan and team were amazing throughout the whole process. First time selling, and i was super nervous. Duncan was honest, reliable, knowledgable and keep me informed at every turn. Could not recommend enough. Got us a great price. Fantastic result and a smooth easy campaign.

Belinda Crutcher - Vendor

Very helpful, wise and appreciated

Duncan had left a flyer just after we bought 8 years ago and responded to our request to evaluate our house and what improvements were worthwhile. He then recently again advised us on improvements before selling and recommended a builder who r promptly responded and completed work. The marketing was impressive despite a difficult market. He guided us patiently through to final sale always keeping us informed and responding promptly. His professionalism is appreciated.

Rebecca Spindler

Professional service and good result

When we decided to sell our property in Darlington we approached Raine an Horne Newtown who had managed the letting since our son left the property some 23 years ago. Duncan Gordon was the Representative assigned, and support us throughout the process of preparing and offering the property for sale. We were kept informed of all developments and accepted advice on repairs, painting and presentation.

We were pleased that the property sold at auction for a sum at the upper end of the pricing guide. `

Alan Coates - Vendor

A great result!

Duncan offered a service that was very supporting and tailored to our needs. He helped us with every aspect of getting the property ready for sale to ensure we would get the best result. His experience and professionalism were very valuable right down to the final negotiations. I felt secure and confident following his recommendations through the entire process.

Joanna Ingram - Vendor

Thanks Duncan

Duncan was a great agent to work with. Always available, knowledgeable on the market and easy to deal with. Despite a very tough market Duncan delivered

Ben Hendriks - Vendor

First rate professional team

Duncan, Joanna and Michael made the process of selling my Newtown studio as easy and stress free as possible. At all times their high levels of professionalism, skill and local knowledge shone through. Achieving a good result in a tightening market is testament to their talents and I have no hesitation recommending their services.

Richard Kerr - Vendor

Very professional and great results

Duncan was a pleasure to work with. I had to sell my property whilst overseas. Duncan and his team (Joanna and Michael) made the whole process (including organising tradesmen) easy and managed everything extremely well.

The finished product was a well styled and presented apartment. They ran an excellent marketing campaign and gave regular detailed updates.

What matters most is the result. The team fought hard. Michael did an excellent job on the day of the auction. Was a great result.

Anthony Nonnis - Vendor

Expert advice and knowledge led to a fantastic result

As first time sellers we were unfamiliar with the process but Duncan kindly explained and guided us through every step of our campaign and made us feel thoroughly supported. We really appreciated the detailed updates, prompt replies, and tireless pursuit of leads as well as his expert advice that ultimately led to a fantastic outcome that exceeded our expectations. We cannot recommend Duncan and his team enough.

Kayne Chue - Vendor

Professional team

Duncan and his team made the sale process stress free. He provided timely communication and was happy to answer all of our questions. He had a sound knowledge of the area and what to expect.

The outcome of the sale was above our expectations and we could not be happier with the outcome.

Thank you to Duncan and his team. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their property.

Katherine Bland - Vendor

Extremely happy!

I found Duncan Gordon and his team to be very proffessional and it was a pleasure dealing with him and his team in the selling of my house.

I'am extremely happy with the sale of my property and felt Duncan worked really hard to get me the best possible result. I would highly recommend Duncan and his team at Raine & Horne Newtown.

Belinda Ungar

Fast, responsive, genuine and caring

Duncan was unbelievable from start to finish. He transformed our house into something so beautiful we weren’t sure if we wanted to sell afterwards! He was communicative and responsive and walked us through every step of the way. All this was done between the the US and Australia and we simply couldn’t have done it without him. He fought for the best price for us and will absolutely go directly to him for any Realestate deal in the future. Thankyou Duncan!

Karen Feldstein

Calm and trustworthy

From the outset Duncan was calm and knowledgeable, giving us realistic expectations every step of the way. It was our first time selling and Duncan made us feel like we were in safe hands during the entire process, giving us all the information we needed while allowing us to make decisions.

His communication was above and beyond; even personally calling us with updates during the cooling off period.

I cannot recommend Duncan highly enough; I truly feel lucky we had such an amazing Agent to represent us. A huge thank you to Duncan and Michael both!

Rebecca Szeto

Professional and caring

Duncan is the ultimate professional when it comes to selling and buying a house.

He has an intimate knowledge of the local area and the market. His passion for his work and dealing with people is palpable. His communication skills are advanced and you are kept up to date regularly with progress.

I would strongly recommend (and already have on multiple occasions )Duncan to anyone looking at real estate.

Andrew Green - Vendor

Great results, communication and attention to detail.

I was impressed with Duncan’s high level of service and communication during the recent sale of my unit in Stanmore. His updates throughout the process were outstanding, and he conducted all negotiations with the highest level of integrity while securing a satisfactory result for all parties. I am very happy, and strongly recommend Duncan and his team at R&H Newtown.

Gabrielle Bates - Vendor

Do yourself a favour, use Duncan to sell your place!

We have dealt with Duncan and Michael 3 times now and there is a reason we keep coming back.

Duncan is a dream agent - he is communicates proactively, keeping us updated at every stage of the process, sets realistic expectations and works incredibly hard to achieve sales results.

We couldn't be happier with the service we have received from Duncan and the team (shout out to Michael Wyatt!), and highly recommend!

Samantha Kirby - Vendor

Duncan was great

Duncan and his team were clear with communication, always punctual and a pleasure to deal with. Our house sale was a little complicated and Duncan approached it with a positive attitude and was fantastic at getting the sale over the line. I especially appreciated how professional and understanding he was in communicating with us during a stressful time.

Marnie & Ny Rozea - Vendors

Duncan did a magnificent job to secure the sale of our property

Duncan knew his market, gave us a very accurate price expectation and showed professionalism in all aspects of his work. He kept us updated about prospective buyers and worked tirelessly to get us a price which we were very happy with.

Laurel Pascall - Vendor

His dedication, skill and knowledge are unparalleled.

Owning 5 properties in Chippendale, I've seen Duncan around a lot. When it came time for me to sell, there was nobody I was going to choose apart from Duncan. He had great ideas about low-cost ways to improve the house (skylight, paving, sanding, etc) which I wish I had done years ago! Duncan overcame poor auction day conditions to get me $60k above reserve, just before Christmas. His dedication, skill and knowledge are unparalleled. A true great agent.

Sean Foley

Duncan provided us with excellent and professional advice

Duncan provided us with excellent and professional advice which lead to a successful sale of our property. He gave us a clear plan for the preparation of our house for sale and confidence in the process which happened far more quickly than if we had tried to do it ourselves. He kept us informed after each open house and his read of the market was spot on. He treated the buyers as well as us with respect and professionalism and we were happy with the final result. Thank you Duncan, Michael and Monica.

Vendor

Great experience all around

Duncan was professional and friendly and did a great job arranging the preparation of our house for sale. Duncan was also very helpful in facilitating our relationship with our purchasers who then became our landlords after the sale.

Casey Atkins

Experienced and supportive team

Duncan (along with Michael, Monica and the rest of the team at Raine & Horne Newtown) recently supported us with the sale of our first home. As newbies, we had no idea what to expect, but Duncan was very patient and supportive in stepping us through the process. Communication was great throughout, and Monica did a fantastic job of coordinating everything behind the scenes. Duncan had our best interests at heart and achieved a great outcome for us on auction day. Thank you all!

Vendor

Pleasure to work with

Duncan recently sold my apartment for me. I quickly felt confident enough in Duncan to have complete trust in his decision making. He is very easy to work with and take a call from. Polite and amicable but straight into it. No time wasted.

Llewellyn Jones

Great experience, great result

Sold my flat in 2 weeks, got an offer right on what I was happy to get and we were done! Duncan and his team are very proactive, responsive, professional, and easy to work with. Great work!

Amy Benger

A five star rating and experience in all areas of service, communication and sales.

We highly recommend and thank Duncan and his team for the management of the sale of our house. They prepared our property for sale in a very short period of time. Nothing was a problem, they communicated honestly and promptly. Duncan clearly knows the Erskineville market inside and out.

Duncan and his team were highly professional and refreshing to deal with.

Thank you all so much for the great result

Ben & Jann

Duncan and the team are the ultimate professionals from start to finish.

They always kept us well informed during the sales process and gave us full confidence they would achieve the best possible result on auction day.We highly recommended their team to anyone wishing to sell their property.

Amanda Baker

Duncan & his team did an excellent job

Duncan & his team did an excellent job on the auction sale of our Chippendale house in what was a slow market to produce a good result.

Max Lane

Obviously knows the real estate market in the area.

On my first meeting with Duncan, he carefully explained the procedure he and his team would follow to sell my property by auction. Contact with other members of his team confirmed my opinion that they were experienced, well organised and made use of modern technology. After each open day Duncan made contact with the viewers and then reported back to me. On his advice I accepted an offer prior to auction, with which I was very happy.

Jocelyn Lloyd

Wonderful experience end to end

Duncan has great local knowledge and experience in the Redfern area, with a proven record in our building. He set realistic expectations, fully transparent regarding fees, and kept us updated after each open inspection. Duncan and his team worked well with the prospective buyers, and come Auction day the results were great. Highly recommend Duncan to anyone looking to sell in the Redfern/Newtown area.

Kevin C

Amazing full service and support from Duncan and the team at R&H Newtown.

We purchased, rented and sold our home come investment property through Raine and Horne Newtown.

The level of service and communication by the whole team over the years has been outstanding.

They are always going above and beyond our expectations.

When we sadly came to sell, the price that Duncan was able to secure for us helped put a smile back on our faces. He made the whole process seamless and easy for us to maximise the value in the property.

Couldnt recommend Duncan and the whole team at R&H Newtown highly enough, they were amazing.

Regan Cheriton

We sold our property within four weeks! Very happy with the outcome!

Vendor

Sale of Unique Unit Boronia Street Kensington

Although auctions were cancelled 2 days prior to our planned date Duncan and Team Raine & Horne Newtown sprung in to action and adjusted our strategy accordingly. Given the restrictions resulting from Covid-19 and the downturn we were happy with the end result. I found Duncan and his staff to be very professional and diligent at all times, inspection results and comments were passed on in a timely manner, briefings were not restricted to just office hours. Calls were always returned asap.

A big thank you to Duncan and all the team.

Peter & Aree Stephens

Professional, transparent and detailed.

Overall great experience dealing with Duncan and the team at RH Newtown. Very detailed analysis of all 158 groups of people that came to see our property during the inspections. Timely communications and open recommendations throughout the whole process. Sure, probably a bit expensive compared to others, but if you're looking for thorough service, look no further than Duncan and his team.

Vendor

Staff were attentive and helpful. Duncan was very helpful and professional. I will recommend him

1 excellent service 2 friendly and efficient 3 I expected duncan's business to only get better

Vendor

True professional

During a time of confusion as to where the property market would be heading and unsure the true value of my property, also facing tough competition with larger properties for sale in the same street, I turned to a true professional to help me sell my property .

Through hard work, extensive research and sheer professionalism, Duncan Gordon maintained my property's profile with potential buyers and kept me informed of the process on a daily basis.

He successfully sold my property in a short time for a price that I would not have believed would be achievable.

Will

Duncan’s experience in the industry is unsurpassed.

Very happy with our recent sale. Raine and Horne Newtown are a dedicated group of professionals, dedicated to bringing you the best possible result!

Liane Gorham

Happy Vendor thanks to Duncan Gordon

Recently I listed a property to be sold through Raine&Horne, Newtown with Duncan Gordon as the agent. Through the whole process, I was extremely impressed with Duncan's professionalism, knowledge of the market and what needed to be done to achieve the best outcome. His advice to me in preparing the property for sale was invaluable. His regular communication kept me informed without being stressful. The sale price obtained by him was above our expectation. I have no hesitation in recommending Duncan to any prospective vendor.

Vendor

Highly recommended

Duncan and his team were the obvious choice for us after hearing how happy our sister and sister-in-law were with all aspects of the service they received.

We were equally happy with their handling of our sale and can highly recommend them.

Julie & John

Cool, calm and collective

Duncan ran a transparent sales campaign, he always kept us informed, up to date and reassured throughout the process. He had extensive knowledge of the area and comparable sales recently which allowed him to advise us where we sit in the scheme of things. I would not think twice in engaging his services to sell any other properties of mine in the future.

Luke Blair

Great Service, Great Result

I was very happy with the quality of service provided by Duncan and his team throughout the entire marketing process, including the organization of repairs and maintenance before the marketing began. Despite me being based overseas, Duncan provided regular feedback in a timely manner. The price achieved was at the higher end of guidance.

Adam Said

Professional and Knowledgeable

Duncan was on the ball. He was easy to work with helpful and professional.

Gerry Oakley

Brilliant job

Duncan Gordon did a brilliant job of selling my home at 91 George St, Erskineville earlier in the year. It was an “off market” sale and Duncan was great at talking to potential buyers from other properties and bringing them through my house. Duncan was very transparent and kept me very well informed of the status of activity with potential buyers right through to the exchange of contracts. I can thoroughly recommend Duncan.

Vendor

Sale with existing tenancy.

Great advice and liaison with long term tenant. Kept me up to date with queries about vacant possession and notice at time of exchange. Satisfaction for owner, purchaser and tenant. All round winners.

Ian Kolln

Great Result

The communication between Duncan and myself was constant wether it be by phone or email, we were always kept up to date every step of the way. Thank you Duncan and team, we are very happy with the sale.

Review for Duncan Gordon

I chose Duncan Gordon at Raine and Horne because he had sold several properties in Wilson Street, Darlington recently. The attention he gave to my property sale was fantastic, and he always kept in touch and gave me excellent feedback after each Open for Inspection.

The marketing program was well designed, and the ultimate auction was well attended and bidding was vigorous. An excellent auctioneer was chosen.

I would highly recommend Duncan Gordon and was extremely happy with all aspects of the campaign.

Awesome experience across the board.

Duncan at Raine & Horne Newtown helped me buy my first home. Almost 2 years down the track I returned to them to help me rent out my home because of the amazing experience I had in purchasing my home. Adam was incredibly helpful in the rental process. Huge kudos to the Raine & Horne Newtown team for providing such an awesome experience across the board. Would highly recommend the team.

Terlya Hunt

I turned to a true professional to help me sell my property!

During a time of confusion as to where the property market would be heading and unsure the true value of my property, also facing tough competition with larger properties for sale in the same street, I turned to a true professional to help me sell my property .

Through hard work, extensive research and sheer professionalism, Duncan Gordon maintained my property's profile with potential buyers and kept me informed of the process on a daily basis.

He successfully sold my property in a short time for a price that I would not have believed would be achievable.

William Christophy

Cool, calm and collective

Duncan ran a transparent sales campaign, he always kept us informed, up to date and reassured throughout the process. He had extensive knowledge of the area and comparable sales recently which allowed him to advise us where we sit in the scheme of things. I would not think twice in engaging his services to sell any other properties of mine in the future.

Luke Blair

I'd strongly recommend Duncan to both buyers and sellers!

Gerry Oakley - 20/1-11 Brodrick Street, Camperdown, NSW 2050

Brilliant job

Duncan Gordon did a brilliant job of selling my home at 91 George St, Erskineville earlier in the year. It was an “off market” sale and Duncan was great at talking to potential buyers from other properties and bringing them through my house. Duncan was very transparent and kept me very well informed of the status of activity with potential buyers right through to the exchange of contracts. I can thoroughly recommend Duncan.

Jorin - 91 George St, Erskineville, NSW 2043

Sale with existing tenancy.

Great advice and liaison with long term tenant. Kept me up to date with queries about vacant possession and notice at time of exchange. Satisfaction for owner, purchaser and tenant. All round winners.

Ian Kolln - 21 MacDonald St, Erskineville, NSW 2043

Great Result

We had a great experience through the sale, communication being keep in the loop at all times, and a great result prior to auction.

A big thanks again we will be on our way to Noosa soon. Cheers Trev

On top of it!!

From the decision we made to sell the house and engage R&H Newtown to be our selling agent, Duncan and his team - from admin to auctioneer, provided us with all the information we needed to have the confidence that our sale would be a well-managed process and a good result should be ensured.

Mike - 446 Wilson Street, Darlington NSW 2008

Very thorough, experiences and professional

Duncan has many years of experience and worked diligently on my behalf to personally follow up interested parties and provide me with both verbal and written updates on the status of the sale. As the property market slows I would recommend Duncan as a real estate agent that will persist on your behalf to close the sale.

James - 121/362 Mitchell Road, Alexandria NSW 2015

Great Agent, would recommend

As a buyer, it's been a very difficult and slow process finding and buying a house we loved. Duncan was genuine and easy to deal with every step of the way, despite being the vendor's agent. I'd use him to sell when we are ready!

Catherine - Purchaser

Great Agent

Not to mention, most importantly, working with Duncan is a fantastic supportive team all working hard, their communication and support was exceptional, thanks Monica and Vivienne!!

A wonderful result on the sale of our house

Thank you to Duncan and the amazing team at Raine & Horne Newtown for getting us a wonderful result on the sale of our house. This could not have been achieved without the hard work, dedication, property knowledge, expertise and great customer service we received.

Kris and Mike Paxman - 3 Copeland St, Alexandria, NSW 2015

We felt we were in good hands

Proactive, clear in his advice and support, and provided regular verbal and written reports during the sale process. We felt we were in good hands, that he was fair and transparent, that we could trust him and he certainly achieved an excellent result for us in the sale of our property.

Elizabeth & Chris Greef - 42/187 Cleveland St, Redfern, NSW 2016

Excellent communication skills

Duncan was able to demystify the processes of both buying and selling through his excellent communication skills and refreshingly friendly and grounded manner in an industry that can be quite stressful to deal with. His many years of industry experience became obvious as we moved through the campaign and we saw how he interacted with the clients as individuals right the way up to and through the auction process.

Robert Fitch - 46/249 Chalmers St, Redfern, NSW 2016

A top pre-auction outcome above our expectation

Duncan worked tirelessly making sure the property was ready in the best state possible within a compressed time frame. We could trust Duncan and that he was working in our best interests. He built strong relationships with potential buyers which translated in a top pre-auction outcome above our expectation.

Jiten Voralia - 2/37 Glebe St, Glebe, NSW 2037

Professional in attitude while still being down to earth

Duncan and his staff were always on hand to help with the renovations required, and the dressing of the property for sale.

David Buckland - 81 O’Connell St, Newtown, NSW 2042

Thank you Duncan for another job well done.

Duncan has sold several properties for me in recent years and gained great results. He has kept me well informed all through the process of the prelisting and sales regarding styling, marketing and interested parties . Duncan's advice and my acting on it has helped greatly in achieving far better results for these sales. Thanks again Duncan for a job well done.

40A Copeland Street, Erskineville - Murray & Kevin

The best advice I could have got, Duncan did an exceptional job.

Firstly I would like to thank the whole team at Raine & Horne Newtown at the exceptional job they did to sell my house. From the first phone call I made advising I wanted to sell my house to the actual sale I was communicated with all the way with what was going on. The advise I was given at what was needed to get the best price for the sale was the best advise I could have got. Duncan did an exceptional job in the negotiation with the sale. The price I got for the sale of my house exceeded my expectations.

788 Elizabeth Street, Waterloo - Desmond Woodman

I would recommend Duncan to anyone, he made sure we were in control of the whole process.

I found working with Duncan on the sale of our houses was very easy. I always felt that Duncan was totally on our side, which showed in the price we got. Duncan made sure that we were in control of the whole process, and referred all decision making directly to us, but managed all of the negotiations in a professional manner. I would recommend Duncan to anyone looking to sell their homes.

7 Goold Street, Chippendale Lindsay & Ken

With Duncan's experience I was in safe hands, utmost respect for his integrity.

42/187 Cleveland Street, Redfern - Elizabeth & Chris

Would highly recommend Duncan and his team at Raine & Horne Newtown; a professional and thorough service.

My husband and I were hesitant to sell our house right from the get go. Adam and Duncan patiently took us through the entire process and answered all our questions. When we eventually hit the green light, the team were extremely efficient and had our home up on their website within days. They kept us regularly updated and were transparent with all buyer feedback. Would highly recommend the team at Raine and Horne Newtown for their professional and thorough services.

228 William Street, Kingsgrove - Andreas Yzabelle

Duncan was the right agent for the job.

10 Myrtle Street, Chippendale – Kaye Watkins

I value Duncan's integrity, experience and realistic approach. The process was smooth and stress-free.

Duncan was recommended by a family member in the industry. I valued Duncan's integrity and experience, and realistic approach. He never over-promised and managed my expectations well. His whole team were very professional and the communication (verbal and written) throughout the campaign was very thorough. Considering the uncertainty of selling a property at auction, I found the process very smooth and, for the most part, stress-free and this was largely due to the appointment of Duncan as my estate agent. I would definitely recommend him to anyone selling their home.

174/635 Gardeners Road, Mascot, NSW 2020 – Chauntelle Roelandts

The service from Duncan and his team was faultless.

The service we received from Duncan and his team in the selling of our house in Alexandria was faultless. Due to us living out of the country, open and strong communication was crucial over the marketing period. Duncan far exceeded our expectations with comprehensive updates throughout the campaign. When it came to making the sale, Duncan's obvious effort, knowledge of the market and honest advice resulted in a sale that totally met our expectations. With no reservations, we recommend Duncan and his team to anyone looking to sell their property in this area.

Sarah & Mike Gardner – 82 Gerard Street, Alexandria

A great success by Duncan's professional manner and excellent communication.

We were satisfied with all our dealings with Duncan Gordon and his team from Raine and Horne Newtown.

106 Australia Street, Camperdown – Phillip Duffell & Margaret McKenzie

Duncan was always enthusiastic, meticulous and conscientious.

We recently engaged Duncan Gordon to sell our three-bedroom terrace house in Chippendale and couldn’t be happier with our choice. A thoroughly consummate professional, we found his advice, experience and communication skills to be invaluable assets during the lead-up and execution of our marketing campaign. Always enthusiastic, meticulous and conscientious, it’s no surprise we achieved an outstanding result on auction day.

Owen and Julee – 34 Myrtle Street, Chippendale

Strong and open communication from the start.

We are very pleased to recommend Duncan Gordon. He has been very effective in the campaign to sell our property.

Ian & Ann Walton - 2/10 Cowper Street, Randwick

Would recommend Duncan and his staff to anyone.

Duncan and his staff worked incredibly efficiently, thoroughly and professionally in the lead up to my unit going on the market (at short notice) and coordinated all necessary works that were required to get the unit ready for sale. They faced various challenges but overcame them all with the utmost professionalism and great results. I was very happy with the outcome and would recommend Duncan to anyone selling a property in Sydney.

Karen Ingram & Ben Morley - 18/146-152 Cleveland Street, Chippendale

Duncan's experience proved invaluable.

I listed my apartment for sale as Sydney transitioned from a sellers to a buyers market. High volume of stock, drop in auction clearance rates and nervous buyers made the sale tricky. However, Duncan's experience proved invaluable. He revised our sales strategy as required and delivered a GREAT SALE PRICE. Duncan and his team made the entire process seamless, which included renovation, property styling, inspection and auction. I HIGHLY recommend Duncan at Raine & Horne Newtown.

Andre Rangiah – 11/1 Wiley Street, Chippendale

More than happy, Duncan and his team worked tirelessly for our property.

Cheryl & Mark Slatyer - 11/33 Wells St, Redfern

Would not hesitate to use Duncan and the team again.

Living overseas and having had tenants in the property for a couple of years, there was quite a bit of work to do to tidy the property up. Duncan co-ordinated all the tradesman and made sure the house was looking its best for auction day. Duncan kept me well informed of progress in the lead up to the sale. Most importantly, on auction day, he secured for me the price I was after. I would not hesitate to use Duncan and his team again.

Catherine Asbridge – 112 Wells Street, Newtown

Fantastic throughout the whole process.

Thank you so much Duncan, you were fantastic throughout the whole process.

What stood out for me by using Raine and Horne Newtown was the fact that although Duncan Gordon was the prime agent, his partner and the whole team behind them both, worked at getting the buyers to the auction and that Duncan and Michael blended their talents and thereby boosted the potential to get the result that I was happy with.

Heather Wilson-Steel – 76 Station Street, Newtown

Duncan kept me updated every step of the way.

Having bought my apartment from R&H Newtown in 2006 I was impressed by Duncan’s track record in Chippendale and Darlington, so decided to re-list with R&H Newtown when it came time to sell. Duncan has extensive industry and local area sales knowledge and was able to ensure that the apartment was presented at its best which resulted in a quick sale (4 weeks) despite a hectic and competitive market. Duncan kept me updated every step of the way and there were no surprises. It was a great result and I would be happy to recommend Duncan to any prospective seller.

Testimonials

Cant find a better agent.

My wife and I bought and sold our house with Duncan. He is an honest and open operator who is easy to get along with. Which in an industry that isn't known for always being trustworthy is extremely refreshing.

I couldn't recommend Duncan enough.

Robert Vergouw

Experienced, Reliable and Dedicated

We couldn't be happier with Duncan's work. He put in so much effort from our very first encounter right up until our property had been sold. Duncan had excellent communication across text, calls and emails, ensuring we understood everything and giving us piece of mind throughout the process. Duncan always made himself available and kept us informed every step of the way. His professionalism, knowledge of the area, expertise in the market and buyer behaviours and general warm presence shone through. Duncan went the extra mile for us, even looking after our dog during an open when we were unable to find alternate arrangements! He is a true professional, someone who is willing to work hard to get the best result for his clients. We are extremely happy with Duncan's work and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, friendly and knowledgeable agent. Thank you, Duncan!

Anika Scott

Stress free Sale

I felt very relaxed throughout the process. Duncan communicated every aspect clearly and was always contactable. I would highly recommend using Duncan and Raine and Horne Newtown as honest and professional agents for the sale of a property.

Catherine Wiles

Simply, one of the best in the area!

Duncan and his team provided exceptional service. Always being fair and supplying accurate advice both on my property and current market conditions. I am always impressed with his communication skills and knowledge of the local and wider real estate markets. Duncan achieved a result for my sale way beyond my expectations.

I have known Duncan professionally for 16 years, I bought my home from him and then he sold it all those years later.

In that time, I have recommended Duncan to friends who have also used his service and they too talk highly of his dedication and professionalism.

Spencer Kirk

Great Communicator and Trustworthy

Duncan and Vishnu were a pleasure to work with. They communicated well, with informative updates and manage expectations around prospective buyers. We trusted their strategy and it delivered the result we wanted.

Always had time to answer questions and hear feedback. Great experience. Would recommend.

Francesca Flatman

Great professional who is well established in the Newtown/Erskineville area

Duncan and his team made an off market sale into a very efficient 7 day sale. His database mailing and effective openings were very well run and provided multiple interested parties.

Valerie Kuczek

Good choice!

Duncan's local experience and knowledge reassured us that their team was the best choice for our property sale. They did not disappoint and achieved a fantastic result for us.

Hassan Gabru & Salamah Gabru

Knows the Newtown market very well.

Have known Duncan for over 12 years and would not hesitate to recommend him to any prospective seller or buyer.

Brett Camwell

Exceptional agent

Backed by a solid team that is professional and shows a lot of care in what they do, Duncan is an exceptional real estate agent who has a great wealth of knowledge in the industry; excellent communication, managing expectation and negotiation.

This is our second sale completed by Duncan and his team. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Ferry Lubis & Michael Anthony

On my side

Selling the property was not easy given massive building works and a tired looking block. But Duncan (and his very supportive team) worked overtime to secure a sale at the full asking price.

Peter Wilson

Fantastic Agent

Duncan is very professional and knows the market really well. He is not that agent who over quotes in order to win the listing and then condition the owner to lower the expectation to "meet the market". The price guide he gave us during the interview process was exactly the final sales price he achieved within 2 weeks of the marketing campaign.

The supporting team is also amazing and no detail was left unattended. The logistic of photography, styling furniture was extremely smooth and right on the proposed time table. I cannot recommend Duncan’s team more if you are consider selling.

Hugo Lai

Duncan, although very professional, has an easy, friendly manner and is supported by a great team.

A seamless, hassle-free sales process of our Newtown apartment. Duncan and his team could not have been more helpful or efficient. They organised all the work required to get the property ready for sale. Painting, carpeting, new blinds and the final furniture dressing of the entire apartment. The quotes from their trades people were very competitive and we were very satisfied with all the work undertaken. The property sold quickly during the off-market period and saved us the time and expense of the inspection and auction process. The best sales experience I have ever had. Thank you to all the team - Duncan, Vivienne, Vishnu and Joanna.

Tony & Judy Deguara

Very hands on, honest & transparent

Very reasonable with the approach making us comfortable with the process. Not an easy thing to go through the process. We are very pleased with the auction result. Thanks to the team who personally stationed at every house inspection session.

Kim Tan

Trust and reliability

I would highly recommend Duncan and his team. He is trustworthy, reliable and a very good communicator. He recently secured my sale in a tight market and working outside his normal area.

Samuel Bunyan

Loved working with Duncan , simply the best agent in the Inner West.

Duncan Gordon has helped us not only sell 3 properties over the last 10+ years , but has also been a loyal confidant in all property subjects over the years.

Our family has grown fond of Duncan as a person , and someone we have entrusted over the years to help navigate our upgrades , investments , and most recently a relocation within our preferred catchment.

To highlight one of his many traits , we would definitely highlight integrity as the key quality when dealing with him on both personal and professional level.

Adding to above and in support of Duncan , we would also stress that in all 3 property transactions managed by Duncan we were extremely pleased with the outcome , and have no hesitation to write this testimonial in support.

My wife and my mother in law love him , I simply think he's a top bloke.

Danny and the family.

Danny Sekulich

Sale of unit in King Street Newtown

Sale of unit King St in Newtown

Duncan and his crew gave us full support with their knowledge of the current market at the time of us contracting for the sale up to the actual sale. With their support they organised cleaners to clean as required and get the unit presentation ready for sale. During the sale process Duncan and his team kept us up to date with the progress and nothing was a problem to them. Their knowledge of the local market trends was exemplary. Many thanks to the Duncan team.

Maureen Foster

Hassle free !

I couldn’t have asked for a better agent! Duncan was very knowledgeable and accommodating. The whole process was hassle free. Overall, it was a great experience!

Charlie Taouk

No one deserves more 5-star ratings than Duncan

We wanted an agent we felt comfortable with and Duncan's open down-to-earth manner and quality of communication met this need and puts him well and truly above the average agent.

Duncan realistically guided us in pricing and presentation and, utilising his ability to read people and their expectations, achieved a fantastic result for us.

Plenty of sales agents can look and talk the part, but Duncan is a true professional, yet easy-going and genuine in his approach – he doesn't need the typical jargon or hard-sell attitude. While we were anxious about the sale process, Duncan's decades of experience and sincerity were evident and we trusted his strategy because of the way he led the campaign. He kept us informed every step of the way, and was always available by phone. Duncan put in a lot of work on inspection feedback and getting to know prospective buyers, demonstrating his level of commitment to our needs.

We're more than happy to recommend Duncan as a selling agent. In fact, his whole team are friendly and efficient, and ensured the successful smooth running of our sale.

Lynette Mills

Experienced and professional

Duncan has been highly proactive and responsive in the communication which made the sale process easier. Very professional and experienced!

Cindy Chen

Great communication and local knowledge

Duncan was all that you’d hope for in an agent. He kept us informed at all times of progress and got the price we’d hoped.

Simon Beets

Skilled and experienced agent achieved a great result in an uncertain market

Duncan is a skilled and experienced agent who was pleasant to deal with, forthright and really determined to get a good result for us as sellers. He and his team achieved a great result with the sale of our townhouse during uncertain market conditions.

Duncan had excellent market knowledge and gave us a guide price range for our property that was realistic, but with room to stretch at the upper end.

Duncan understood our property’s most appealing features and steered the preparation of marketing that emphasised these. He also worked out which types of buyers would be most interested and was very effective at reaching them and finding the ones ready to buy.

Prior to auction Duncan was thorough in his follow up of all potential buyers. At the auction Duncan handled the active buyers well and was able to secure the sale on the second business day after the auction, at a very good price. He persisted with negotiation right until the end and pushed the final selling price up significantly during the last 24 hours.

Throughout the marketing, auction and post-auction negotiation Duncan and his team communicated with us really well and kept us informed during the rapidly evolving sale process.

I’m happy to recommend Duncan to anyone thinking of selling and looking for an agent who is ethical, good to deal with and effective at getting a great sale result.

Andrew Coogan

Fantastic communication and knowledge

Duncan made the entire process of selling our home easy. He has extensive knowledge of the market and local area. His communication was great and the outcome definitely exceeded our expectations. We would recommend Duncan to anyone wanting to sell their home.

Lucinda Cull

Excellent agent

Duncan was very professional and updated us regularly throughout the marketing campaign. He is very approachable and easy to deal with. I would highly recommend him!

Kristofer Reed

Excellent Realestate Agent

My husband and I have chosen Duncan among other agents because of his professionalism, sincerity and friendly attitude.

Pauline Lam

Professional, Efficient, 10% More $

Duncan and his entire team were an absolute pleasure to work with. I am interstate and wanted to try selling my property for the second time after unsuccessfully listing it previously with a different agent. I looked up the best agents in the area, negotiated a brilliant fee, and Duncan sold the property before the first home open for almost 10% more than I was expecting. I am thrilled to bits that I chose Duncan and his team. His communication, professionalism and cheerful attitude were more than I was expecting and the whole experience was super easy.

Klaas Nauta & Nadia Elliott - vendor

Excellent from the start!

From our initial engagement to the close of the auction Duncan has been professional, friendly and provided great advice while managing our expectations. The team at R&H Newtown solved problems, made suggestions and did all they could to optimise the campaign and sale.

We could not be happier with the outcome we achieved through their guidance and management of the process.

We highly recommend Duncan and his team.

Robyn Wheeler - Vendor

My Personal Take on Duncan's Property Sales Wizardry!

Just wrapped up working with Duncan on selling my place and let me tell you, it's been something else. Here's what I've personally experienced:

Duncan's Decades of Pure Know-How:

Duncan's like a real estate encyclopedia. He's been at this for ages and every step, from setting the price to sealing the deal, is second nature to him. Seriously, no challenge's too big.

Clear and Effective Communication:

Duncan's a pro at getting his point across. No jargon, just clear and simple communication with me and potential buyers. No guesswork involved.

Results That Speak Loud:

My place sold like hotcakes, and that's all thanks to Duncan's hard grind. He's fully committed, all day, every day. You'll be cheering with the outcome.

So, from where I stand, Duncan's the property sales MVP. His experience, the way he talks, and his hustle make him a winner. Trust me, if you want someone who'll give it their all and get you results, Duncan's your guy!

Keen Leung - Vendor

Particularly excellent experience

Worked with Duncan to sell my 2 bedder apartment - from the get go he was particularly helpful and prompt with getting it ready for sale. Very happy with the outcome, couldn't have asked for any more.

David Currie - Vendor

Great service and an excellent sale price

Duncan gave us fantastic personalised service every step of the way in the sale of our house in Sydenham. He demonstrated an excellent knowledge of the market and was across every detail in the presentation of our property. While Duncan took the lead, he was ably assisted by colleagues Matthew, Joanna, Vivienne and Vishnu.

Donna Maegraith - Vendor

Thanks Duncan

As the executor of a deceased estate, I am very happy with the service received from Duncan. The old house was falling down and was in places, dangerous. I was particularly pleased with the advice he gave to me as to the matters to be attended to in the property before putting the property up for auction. I am sure that was part of the reason we got a good price, quite a lot more than I was expecting. Many of the potential buyers were considering restoring the house and I know he had long conversations with them during the course of the inspections to that aspect of the property.

Dennis Hardman - Vendor

Professional and Efficient

Duncan is very knowledgeable of the area and the market. This is the most efficient sale we have ever had.

Ferry Lubis - Vendor

It was a very satisfactory experience

Duncan was a very professional, friendly, capable person who paid attention to details. He was always available to answer any questions. His knowledge of market conditions was very accurate. He provided an extremely well thought out plan of action with regard to the auction and potential possible outcomes. I would certainly recommend him to other people wishing to either sell or purchase property.

Jill Pidcock - Vendor

Thank you!

Duncan and his amazing helpful team made a difficult time much easier

They were all very helpful and kept me in the picture at all times!

Charlotte Tily - Vendor

Professional advise, Outstanding service and 100% commitment

To be 100% honest, Duncan is one of the many agents we met before making our decision and from the first phone call, he made a big impact as I could sense his passion and energy just over the phone. The first meeting was also very positive with lots of information and local knowledge, confidence being built up. On the next day, he made a follow up call in the morning. That was when I told my wife that we must go for Duncan because being a sales person myself, I knew too well the importance of first impression and the power of following up. If we felt this way, I bet the potential buyers would felt it too.

During the journey, Duncan has shown lots of patience, genuine interest and skills to tackle all the difficult questions. He always has this sense of urgency which is really good because we need someone like him to guide us at each step at a timely manner and he has done it flawlessly.

I truly feel Duncan is THE kind of agent that everyone needs who is passionate, knowldegeable, and energetic! Let along he has also got a wonderful team that does so many things promptly!

The outcome really speaks itself and Duncan put a big big smile on eveyone. I would definitely recommend him to everyone I know!

James Yi and Angela Wu - Vendors

Results, communication and dedication on point

Duncan and his team were a pleasure to work with, constant communication and dedication to getting the results we needed. Duncan is easy to talk with, not like some of our previous experiences. If you're looking for someone dedicated, listens and can talk to you like a colleague this team is for you. Thanks for achieving the results in this difficult market stage.

Andrew Gersteling - Vendor

Excellent service with a fantastic result

Duncan and his team at Raine & Horne Newtown did a brilliant job from start to finish with the sale of our apartment. They arranged everything with getting the apartment ready for viewing. Their professionalism and communication was fantastic with updates a couples times a week. Duncan’s market knowledge was spot on and we received a great price for the sale. We would definitely recommend Duncan and his team if you’re looking to sell.

Brian Judd - Vendor

First class in every aspect

Duncan's knowledge of the market was first class. He advised on every aspect of the selling process with a professional manner. After every open house he would give us feedback.

I would highly recommend Duncan.

Scott Metcalfe - Vendor

We can thoroughly recommend Duncan Gordon as a selling agent.

Duncan was helpful from the start. He managed to find a suitable place for our tenant to move to in an extremely tight rental market; he put us in contact with a stylist, building inspector and all the tradies we needed in a very short timeframe, all of whom were good and a couple of whom were excellent; and he ran a productive campaign, generating a lot of interest.

Having never sold via auction before, we needed some hand holding and he managed us very well and with good humour, keeping us well informed all the way thru the process and giving us sound advice when we needed it. His support team were also great to deal with and delivered everything we needed in a professional and timely fashion

We were very happy with the final price of $80k above reserve. We knew the location, the potential and the bones of the house all held great appeal and we put a lot of effort into presenting the house at its best. These factors and Duncan’s expertise - in running the open houses, understanding the eventual bidders and working the auction, combined to deliver a fantastic result above our expectations. It’s not that Duncan down played our prospects. He’d sold two comparable properties in the same week that ours hit the market, so we had a good gauge on where interest would be and set an optimistic reserve. But the bidding went way above that and we are thrilled.

Deborah Schubert - Vendor

Dilapidated Dump

I inherited a home which had been owned by a hoarder. It had not been cleaned in 25 years and all the rooms except the bathroom and kitchen, (also filthy) were piled with rubbish. The yard, which had not been used for years was completely overgrown and the neighbours were tearing their hair. I despaired but Duncan was equal to the task. He arranged rubbish removal, garden clearing and house cleaning. In the depths of a market slump he achieved a sale 20% above my wildest dreams. He's a true professional!!

Wade Smith - Vendor

Exceptional Service & Great Result

After partnering with Raine & Horne Newtown as my leasing agent for several years, I decided to sell my property through their services. Together, we developed a price range and strategic plan for the sale. I was impressed by the promptness and expertise of Duncan and the team, who demonstrated a thorough understanding of the local market.

To our delight, we were able to secure a sale within two weeks, exceeding our expectations. But what truly impressed me was that Duncan reached out to other interested parties, leading to an even higher sale price.

I am thrilled with the outcome and would highly recommend Duncan and the team at Raine & Horne Newtown to anyone seeking top-notch real estate services. Our experience was excellent, and the results were exceptional.

Flyn Tracy - Vendor

Professional approach and a great communicator

A very positive experience with Duncan and his team. Duncan had great advice on the best approach to maximising the sale price.

He kept me informed throughout the process, and the end result was above my expectations.

Ian Crofts - Vendor

Professional and super helpful with great style, communication and expertise

Very happy with Duncan (and his team)'s efforts in selling our property - he provided excellent expert advice on all aspects of the sale strategy and process, took plenty of time as needed, was efficient in organising associated work (styling, inspection report, paperwork), stayed in close touch through the campaign and, importantly, negotiated an excellent pre-auction outcome. And he is just such a great person to work with! Thank you!

Lynette McLoughlin - Vendor

2nd time around!

This was our 2nd sale with Duncan and his team in a few short months! Amazing and professional as always.

Thank you for a wonderful result!

Matt Grima - Vendor

A very comfortable process

I met Duncan around 2013 when he sold a property belonging to my cousin and me in Erskineville around 2013.

He is not only a very nice human being but as the sold sign shows he is excellent at what he does and enjoys what he does.

Gail McGee - Vendor

Lovely experience and great result!

I have known and done work with Duncan for quite a few years seeing him always getting great results and taking out all the awards in the real estate industry. Seeing this I knew Duncan was the right person for the job. He dealt with me professionally and openly, calling me with regular updates and feedback. We surpassed expectations in the current market and very happy with Duncan and the whole team at R & H Newtown. Looking forward to doing it again in the future.

Cameron Slee - Vendor

A solid campaign and excellent result

Duncan and the Raine and Horne team ran an excellent sales and marketing campaign that generated a lot of interest in our property. He diligently followed up after each open house and provided regular updates. His guidance on the market, price expectations and presentation of the house was top notch.

Bruce Murphy - Vendor

Duncan Gordan was always available for advice and was patient when we were unsure of what to do

We were unsure of selling, never having done it before. Duncan and the team at Raine and Horne Newtown were very good at explaining all aspects involved in selling our house. We never had a bad experience while working with Duncan and the team.

We would recommend Duncan and the team to anyone thinking of selling a house.

Andrew Pearson

Professional Persistence

Duncan, Michael and his team at Raine & Horne Newtown have been amazing.

They had to go the extra mile whilst selling our property. Due to the rising interest rates, our place took a little longer sell than expected. Duncan and Michael provided us with a top class service. They provided us with professional opinions and options throughout the process.

Duncan always followed up with reports from the inspections. He was persistent with reaching out to those who came to view our property and would always relay the positive and negative feedback that was given.

Whilst the market did a massive flip during the sale, he and his team never gave up. We found the statistic report’s extremely informative and useful.

We will definitely be using Duncan and his team to sell our next property.

Thank you for all the effort you put into getting us the best possible outcome.

Matt Grima - Vendor

Duncan delivers again

Duncan Gordon delivered a sensational result selling this property in a difficult market. Duncan's communication and service all the way through the campaign kept me up to date with his progress, ending with a successful auction outcome.

Mary Gillespie - Vendor

Very helpful in every way

I have found Mr Dungan Gordon to be extremely helpful in every aspect.

I thank him and his team for the effort they have given my property to be sold.

Thank you to everyone.

Maria Alis - Vendor

Excellent outcome.

Duncan was good a managing our expectations, negotiating the outcome given that the parties involved were a bit bullish.

Fergus Cumming

Very Professional

From the first time Duncan came to my house he has always kept me updated on what was happening during the campaign

He is truthful and didn’t give me unrealistic expectations

He worked extremely hard to sell my house at auction in a very difficult market

I would highly recommend anyone selling their property to give Duncan a call

Kaye - Vendor

Genuine Professional

Duncan has a stellar reputation in our local community, and we know why! Duncan and his team were lovely to work with and managed our campaign with transparency, agility, respect and professionalism. No request was too hard, and we knew that we were in safe hands the entire way through the sale process. Duncan built trust with us very quickly and I could not recommend him any higher. He delivered for us (always with a smile) and we are very grateful for his time and for the experience.

Skye Anderson - Vendor

A straight up and down top bloke

If Duncan ever has down days, I never saw one. He was always cheerful, very patient and refreshingly honest – and so was his team. My sale was complicated by circumstances beyond my control, but Duncan didn’t bat an eye: together we worked out plan A, B and C with go/no go points well understood. In the end, Duncan negotiated a pre-market sale for the kind of price we agreed we’d be likely to achieve at auction – without the palaver of home opens. Thank you, Duncan!

Nic Svenson - Vendor

Safe hands

The thing that sets Duncan apart is his exceptional communication skills - not only did he guide us every step of the way in a calm and positive manner, he also actively listened and responded to what we wanted and needed every step of the way, (which sets him apart from many agents we met with), shared his extensive knowledge about the market and supported us through what can be a stressful experience with his cheerful and professional manner. Would absolutely recommend Duncan.

Sandra Price - Vendor

Legend of the business

Duncan and team were amazing throughout the whole process. First time selling, and i was super nervous. Duncan was honest, reliable, knowledgable and keep me informed at every turn. Could not recommend enough. Got us a great price. Fantastic result and a smooth easy campaign.

Belinda Crutcher - Vendor

A stress free sale from a top class team!

Thank you to Duncan & his team (Michael & Joanna). A top class team and a pleasure to deal with during the (stress free!) sale of my apartment. From my initial phone call with Duncan the level of service and communication was outstanding. I live on the other side of the world and feel like I received the same level of service as if I lived in the same suburb. Informative emails providing regular and sometimes daily updates and always followed up with a phone call.

Duncan's industry knowledge was spot on in terms of an achievable sale price and I ended up selling prior to auction with a sale result I'm very happy with.

I would 100% recommend Duncan and his team from Raine&Horne.

Joanne Cherry - Vendor

Very helpful, wise and appreciated

Duncan had left a flyer just after we bought 8 years ago and responded to our request to evaluate our house and what improvements were worthwhile. He then recently again advised us on improvements before selling and recommended a builder who r promptly responded and completed work. The marketing was impressive despite a difficult market. He guided us patiently through to final sale always keeping us informed and responding promptly. His professionalism is appreciated.

Rebecca Spindler

Professional service and good result

When we decided to sell our property in Darlington we approached Raine an Horne Newtown who had managed the letting since our son left the property some 23 years ago. Duncan Gordon was the Representative assigned, and support us throughout the process of preparing and offering the property for sale. We were kept informed of all developments and accepted advice on repairs, painting and presentation.

We were pleased that the property sold at auction for a sum at the upper end of the pricing guide. `

Alan Coates - Vendor

Agent extraordinaire!

I don't usually give gushing reviews for any type of service, but I make an exception on this occasion. Duncan has been an outstanding and pivotal ally in the marketing and sale of our property. We are exceedingly happy with his service, and I am grateful to a friend of mine for recommending him to us.

Duncan and his team have been proactive and supportive in all thinkable ways, at all times communicating in a timely and clear manner. He has gone the extra mile in providing us with comprehensive advice and related assistance.

He remained steadfast in pursuing the optimum result for us, despite the property being passed in at auction in June this year (2022) in an environment of a softeneing market due to progressively and swiftly increasing interest rates and a gloomy economic outlook in a period of rising infation.

Last, but certainly not least, he secured a buyer at the price level we had determined back at the auction 2 weeks ago.

Thank you Duncan and team!

Max Doerfler - Vendor

A great result!

Duncan offered a service that was very supporting and tailored to our needs. He helped us with every aspect of getting the property ready for sale to ensure we would get the best result. His experience and professionalism were very valuable right down to the final negotiations. I felt secure and confident following his recommendations through the entire process.

Joanna Ingram - Vendor

Thanks Duncan

Duncan was a great agent to work with. Always available, knowledgeable on the market and easy to deal with. Despite a very tough market Duncan delivered

Ben Hendriks - Vendor

First rate professional team

Duncan, Joanna and Michael made the process of selling my Newtown studio as easy and stress free as possible. At all times their high levels of professionalism, skill and local knowledge shone through. Achieving a good result in a tightening market is testament to their talents and I have no hesitation recommending their services.

Richard Kerr - Vendor

Excellent advice and a great outcome

We selected Duncan after interviewing several agents and he stood out at the start as a good communicator and very professional.

Before we had even engaged Duncan he gave us the best piece of advice in relation to timing the sale and strategy around bringing the sale forward - thank goodness he did! It's clear we could not have achieved the great price we did under our initial plan and 3 other agents interviewed didn't mention anything.

Right through the process Duncan gave good advice and communicated with us professionally, his team is awesome with a big shout out to Joanna who has been excellent to deal with also.

Ultimately Duncan's advice and negotiation got us a great price within the window we were hoping for despite the rapidly cooling market and limited interest.

Aneurin Coffey - Vendor

I found Duncan very helpful with the sale of my property, he steered me thru it I got a great result

Selling my property was not a straightforward matter it was complex.

I found his experience very helpful, we worked together made decisions together.

He is a man I can do business with, he's on the ball, he knows the job and he's good.

He had several big hurdles to deal with and he jumped them in a positive way.

I knew the market was about to crash and I wanted to sell before it did and I told him so.

He came up with the goods, we exchanged a few days after the federal election when Labor came to power and the first interest rate rise in ten years.

I got the property away at a good price.!!

Great Work Duncan!!

John Atkins - Vendor

Very professional and great results

Duncan was a pleasure to work with. I had to sell my property whilst overseas. Duncan and his team (Joanna and Michael) made the whole process (including organising tradesmen) easy and managed everything extremely well.

The finished product was a well styled and presented apartment. They ran an excellent marketing campaign and gave regular detailed updates.

What matters most is the result. The team fought hard. Michael did an excellent job on the day of the auction. Was a great result.

Anthony Nonnis - Vendor

Expert advice and knowledge led to a fantastic result

As first time sellers we were unfamiliar with the process but Duncan kindly explained and guided us through every step of our campaign and made us feel thoroughly supported. We really appreciated the detailed updates, prompt replies, and tireless pursuit of leads as well as his expert advice that ultimately led to a fantastic outcome that exceeded our expectations. We cannot recommend Duncan and his team enough.

Kayne Chue - Vendor

Professional team

Duncan and his team made the sale process stress free. He provided timely communication and was happy to answer all of our questions. He had a sound knowledge of the area and what to expect.

The outcome of the sale was above our expectations and we could not be happier with the outcome.

Thank you to Duncan and his team. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their property.

Katherine Bland - Vendor

Extremely happy!

I found Duncan Gordon and his team to be very proffessional and it was a pleasure dealing with him and his team in the selling of my house. Duncan was very transparent in all aspects of selling and knows the market well, he kept in touch with me throughout the marketing campaign and kept me up to date with any feedback and buyer interest. I'am extremely happy with the sale of my property and felt Duncan worked really hard to get me the best possible result. I would highly recommend Duncan and his team at Raine & Horne Newtown.

Belinda Ungar

Fast, responsive, genuine and caring

Duncan was unbelievable from start to finish. He transformed our house into something so beautiful we weren’t sure if we wanted to sell afterwards! He was communicative and responsive and walked us through every step of the way. All this was done between the the US and Australia and we simply couldn’t have done it without him. He fought for the best price for us and will absolutely go directly to him for any Realestate deal in the future. Thankyou Duncan!

Karen Feldstein

Calm and trustworthy

From the outset Duncan was calm and knowledgeable, giving us realistic expectations every step of the way. It was our first time selling and Duncan made us feel like we were in safe hands during the entire process, giving us all the information we needed while allowing us to make decisions.

His communication was above and beyond; even personally calling us with updates during the cooling off period.

I cannot recommend Duncan highly enough; I truly feel lucky we had such an amazing Agent to represent us. A huge thank you to Duncan and Michael both!

Rebecca Szeto

Professional and caring

Duncan is the ultimate professional when it comes to selling and buying a house.

He has an intimate knowledge of the local area and the market. His passion for his work and dealing with people is palpable. His communication skills are advanced and you are kept up to date regularly with progress.

I would strongly recommend (and already have on multiple occasions )Duncan to anyone looking at real estate.

Andrew Green - Vendor

Great results, communication and attention to detail.

I was impressed with Duncan’s high level of service and communication during the recent sale of my unit in Stanmore. His updates throughout the process were outstanding, and he conducted all negotiations with the highest level of integrity while securing a satisfactory result for all parties. I am very happy, and strongly recommend Duncan and his team at R&H Newtown.

Gabrielle Bates - Vendor

Do yourself a favour, use Duncan to sell your place!

We have dealt with Duncan and Michael 3 times now and there is a reason we keep coming back.

Duncan is a dream agent - he is communicates proactively, keeping us updated at every stage of the process, sets realistic expectations and works incredibly hard to achieve sales results.

We couldn't be happier with the service we have received from Duncan and the team (shout out to Michael Wyatt!), and highly recommend!

Samantha Kirby - Vendor

Duncan was great

Duncan and his team were clear with communication, always punctual and a pleasure to deal with. Our house sale was a little complicated and Duncan approached it with a positive attitude and was fantastic at getting the sale over the line. I especially appreciated how professional and understanding he was in communicating with us during a stressful time.

Marnie & Ny Rozea - Vendors

Duncan did a magnificent job to secure the sale of our property

Duncan knew his market, gave us a very accurate price expectation and showed professionalism in all aspects of his work. He kept us updated about prospective buyers and worked tirelessly to get us a price which we were very happy with.

Laurel Pascall - Vendor

It was a pleasure to work with Duncan & his team.

Selling a home is not always a happy or exciting experience, I am glad to have had Duncan Gordon seeing it through!

The stresses of the unknown, the (perceived)challenges of the current market can be overwhelming for most vendors. Having an agent with tensity and drive, with local knowledge and years of experience, an agent who has either sold or facilitated the purchase of your neighbour’s homes – and they are still happy to see him, come over to chat and reassure you on your choice of agent – in my view priceless!

This is the 4th property I have sold and in comparison, Duncan provided valuable professional insight to my often difficult and challenging views, him and his team worked hard to facilitate the needs of potential buyers which led to a very satisfactory sale. Regular phone and email communications, prompt open house feedbacks and regular statistics reports were a clear indication of Duncan’s (and his team’s) professionalism and transparency that I appreciated throughout the marketing campaign.

On a personal level, this was a difficult sale for me. To let go of the family home after 15 years. I am thankful to Duncan for his compassion and understanding which is a credit to him.

Having achieved a sale price (at auction), in excess of the reserve and several agent’s valuation was indeed an unexpected and fantastic result

Many thanks to the team at Raine & Horne Newtown and my personal thanks to Duncan Gordon for his leadership, efforts and professionalism.

Vendor

His dedication, skill and knowledge are unparalleled.

Owning 5 properties in Chippendale, I've seen Duncan around a lot. When it came time for me to sell, there was nobody I was going to choose apart from Duncan. He had great ideas about low-cost ways to improve the house (skylight, paving, sanding, etc) which I wish I had done years ago! Duncan overcame poor auction day conditions to get me $60k above reserve, just before Christmas. His dedication, skill and knowledge are unparalleled. A true great agent.

Sean Foley

Duncan provided us with excellent and professional advice

Duncan provided us with excellent and professional advice which lead to a successful sale of our property. He gave us a clear plan for the preparation of our house for sale and confidence in the process which happened far more quickly than if we had tried to do it ourselves. He kept us informed after each open house and his read of the market was spot on. He treated the buyers as well as us with respect and professionalism and we were happy with the final result. Thank you Duncan, Michael and Monica.

Vendor

Great communication, excellent support, great result

Duncan and Monica did a great job on the sale of our apartment in Erskineville. With tenants vacating after a long tenancy the place really needed a spruce up and Monica managed getting the place painted, re-carpeted and styled all within a week. It was an unusual market due to the impacts of COVID and we needed to make changes to the sales strategy along the way and Duncan was very good in thinking through alternatives with us and providing solid advice which paid off with a sale price we were very happy with. When you are selling a property you want to know what is happening and the communication Duncan provided was timely, both giving us a verbal update after every open house as well as a written report. We had looked at a couple of agents and are very happy we decided to go with Duncan and the R&H Newtown team.

Amanda Garland

Great experience all around

Duncan was professional and friendly and did a great job arranging the preparation of our house for sale. Duncan was also very helpful in facilitating our relationship with our purchasers who then became our landlords after the sale.

Casey Atkins

Experienced and supportive team

Duncan (along with Michael, Monica and the rest of the team at Raine & Horne Newtown) recently supported us with the sale of our first home. As newbies, we had no idea what to expect, but Duncan was very patient and supportive in stepping us through the process. Communication was great throughout, and Monica did a fantastic job of coordinating everything behind the scenes. Duncan had our best interests at heart and achieved a great outcome for us on auction day. Thank you all!

Vendor

Pleasure to work with

Duncan recently sold my apartment for me. I quickly felt confident enough in Duncan to have complete trust in his decision making. He is very easy to work with and take a call from. Polite and amicable but straight into it. No time wasted.

Llewellyn Jones

Great experience, great result

Sold my flat in 2 weeks, got an offer right on what I was happy to get and we were done! Duncan and his team are very proactive, responsive, professional, and easy to work with. Great work!

Amy Benger

A five star rating and experience in all areas of service, communication and sales.

We highly recommend and thank Duncan and his team for the management of the sale of our house. They prepared our property for sale in a very short period of time. Nothing was a problem, they communicated honestly and promptly. Duncan clearly knows the Erskineville market inside and out.

Duncan and his team were highly professional and refreshing to deal with.

Thank you all so much for the great result

Ben & Jann

Duncan and the team are the ultimate professionals from start to finish.

They always kept us well informed during the sales process and gave us full confidence they would achieve the best possible result on auction day.We highly recommended their team to anyone wishing to sell their property.

Anastasia And Chris

Nothing but the best

Duncan handled the sale of our home with the utmost professionalism and honesty. From the start we were informed about everything step from the preparation to the final exchange. With what was for us an emotional time, Duncan was extremely patient and caring. We couldn't recommend Duncan enough.

Amanda Baker

Duncan & his team did an excellent job

Duncan & his team did an excellent job on the auction sale of our Chippendale house in what was a slow market to produce a good result.

Max Lane

Obviously knows the real estate market in the area.

On my first meeting with Duncan, he carefully explained the procedure he and his team would follow to sell my property by auction. Contact with other members of his team confirmed my opinion that they were experienced, well organised and made use of modern technology. After each open day Duncan made contact with the viewers and then reported back to me. On his advice I accepted an offer prior to auction, with which I was very happy.

Jocelyn Lloyd

Wonderful experience end to end

Duncan has great local knowledge and experience in the Redfern area, with a proven record in our building. He set realistic expectations, fully transparent regarding fees, and kept us updated after each open inspection. Duncan and his team worked well with the prospective buyers, and come Auction day the results were great. Highly recommend Duncan to anyone looking to sell in the Redfern/Newtown area.

Kevin C

Duncan does it again!

It’s important not only that you trust your agent to get you the result your property deserves, but also that you LIKE them – because they’re going to be a big part of your life for over a month! Luckily you’ll have both of these qualities in Duncan, who is not only great fun to work with but brings decades of real estate experience to the task. This was my 3rd time dealing with Duncan, and my partner and I are truly thrilled with the result he achieved for us in selling our apartment. His easy, genuine manner means he gets along with buyers and sellers alike, and his committed work ethic means you can trust he is working feverishly behind the scenes. A good sense of humour really helps to ease the anxiety of buying and/or selling. Duncan has a great team behind him, including Executive Assistant Monica whose professionalism makes the task of selling your home so much less stressful. I can confidently recommend Duncan to anyone looking for an honest, friendly, and experienced agent to manage the sale of your home. Who can? Dun-can!

Annabel & Michael

Amazing full service and support from Duncan and the team at R&H Newtown.

We purchased, rented and sold our home come investment property through Raine and Horne Newtown.

The level of service and communication by the whole team over the years has been outstanding.

They are always going above and beyond our expectations.

When we sadly came to sell, the price that Duncan was able to secure for us helped put a smile back on our faces. He made the whole process seamless and easy for us to maximise the value in the property.

Couldnt recommend Duncan and the whole team at R&H Newtown highly enough, they were amazing.

Regan Cheriton

He gave me 100% of his time and effort.

Duncan sold my home unit during COVID-19. A difficult time for sellers and buyers. He gave me 100% of his time and effort. His team followed up on every detail promptly and with full detail. His communication was constant and I was fully informed at all times. Advice was very worthwhile and correct at all times. I was not able to be present at any time due to lock down requirements. Duncan was not difficult about anything. He provided the whole selling process by distance and it was a flawless operation. I would recommend him to anyone a very good experience. Attention to detail second to none

Vendor

First Class Experience

I would highly recommend Duncan to anybody if they are looking to sell their property. The team at Raine and Horne managed the rental of my property prior to the sale, and during the entire time Duncan always kept in contact with me giving me updates on the local market. This was prior to me even considering selling, which had me well prepared for when I was ready to sell. Duncan provided an outstanding level of service, and with his detailed knowledge and experience across the local market, was able to negotiate a result I was very pleased with. This was the best sales experience I could have asked for, and strongly suggest to anybody looking for an agent to look no further - this is the team you need to work with.

Nicole Hockey

Duncan prince of Newtown

Duncan is a great communicator. Kept me informed and relaxed during the campaign.

It is quite a stressful venture but Duncan and I managed to get through it unscathed with our relationship intact.

I would recommend him highly.

Marcia Smith

Very happy with the end result achieving above our expected sale price.

Duncan and his team were great through our auction process, with on going communication and service. Very happy with the end result achieving above our expected sale price. Highly recommend!

Adam Fallon

Duncan and his staff were amazing!!!!

So professional from start to finish.

Always keeping you informed with viewings and potential buyer's.

Such a pleasure to deal with someone who is so informative and genuine.

So happy with every aspect dealing with Duncan and his team. Would definitely recommend someone who is looking to sell their home.

We were so happy with the price we got at auction!!!

Thank you Duncan and your staf

Leanne Fallon

Quality service, positive outcome

Throughout the whole sale process I had confidence that Duncan was a very knowledgeable and exceedingly capable agent. He was able to let me know about current market conditions and guide me through the whole procedure step by step. He regularly updated me by phone and email throughout the entire process, from myself initially contacting him up to and including the successful auction. Additionally, Monica in the Raine and Horne office dealt with all my requests regarding preparing my property for sale quickly, knowledgeably and efficiently, from cleaning and painting to beautiful presentation. Great service that I would not hesitate to recommend.

Janet Town

Unequalled expertise, endless enthusiasm, and one goal ...

fter 17 years as landlords with R&H Newtown, when it came trusting an agent to sell our house, especially as we were hundreds of kilometres away for the entire campaign - including the auction (due to COVID restrictions) - the R&H sales team was the obvious choice. So glad we choise them. If not for Duncan Gordon and his very sound advice, we would still be sitting on our hands waiting to see what COVID does and waiting to get to Sydney to fluff around and fuss and prepare the house for market. Instead, we put our future (our retirement) in Duncan’s hands. And take charge he did, organising absolutely everything so we could move onto our next life plan quickly and confidently.

Heeding his advice we were able to fast-track the house to market and achieve a quick result far exceeding our early expectations. Duncan, Monica, Nicole and the R&H team behind the scenes are very obviously a well-oiled machine with unequalled expertise, endless enthusiasm, and one goal - to do the very best for the vendor. AND with a record number of registered bidders on the day they sure nailed it - and worked bloody hard in the lead up to auction.

We are so grateful for the remote hand-holding, the seamless shift from landlord to seller, the constant and comprehensive communications (both phone and email) and the outstanding result on the day of auction (and yes, Duncan, you were spot on with your campaign advice in every way). It all went so smoothly, and we were so at ease in the lead up we experienced none of that usual seller angst. In fact, Duncan made it look all too easy. Suddenly it was all over and we were grinning from ear to ear.

We cannot speaking more highly of R&H Newtown - especially Duncan and Monica et. al. Thank you from the two Js!

Jenn & Jeannette

Experienced agent - happy with house price sold

Duncan was great to work with. He was very nice and very responsive. I found that he was dedicated and worked hard to get us a good result for the sale of our house. I appreciated his insights into the housing market and valued his experience in negotiations.

Camila Ridout

Great experience

Duncan and his team did an excellent job with the sale of my apartment, despite challenging market conditions. Duncan called me after every open house and kept me updated on all potential buyers. His team were very thorough in finding out the information that the potential buyers were after. He has a strong knowledge of the market and had a good strategy for how to get the best result for me. Duncan and the team were also extremely friendly and great to deal with.

Libby Anderson

Duncan is diligent and communicative with a great team in support.

Duncan's appraisal of my sale situation was spot on. He worked hard to achieve the result I wanted and was practical and informative whenever decisions needed to be made.

Vendor

Excelente experience with Duncan.

I Found Duncan to have a lot of knowledge of the current market. Very easy to communicate with, and very professional... most of all loved how he kept me up to date with every opening...

Angela Ferreira

Tireless, effective & successful!

Duncan and his team were effectively able to read the market and sell our property. He and his team worked tirelessly to liaise with potential buyers and other stakeholders, provided unambiguous communication and continually promoted our apartment.

We highly recommend Duncan and the team at Raine & Horne!!

Vendor

Duncan Gordon Raine and Horne Newtown

I don’t normally write reviews! However we felt that the experience we had with Duncan Gordon and the Raine and Horne, Newtown team deserves a shout out.

Duncan kept us updated at all times, his enthusiasm and professionalism kept us positive in what can be a stressful experience.

We sold our property within four weeks! Very happy with the outcome!

Vendor

We are happy clients.

We chose to have Duncan represent us in the sale of our house after speaking to a couple of other agents. Duncan was relaxed and friendly and communicated well. He promised to be the person that represented us at every house inspection and in all negotiations with prospective buyers.

He delivered on that and guided us through the marketing process answering any queries we had. He knows the Inner West market very well.

When the quickly changing COVID affected market delivered less interest in our auction than we’d hoped for, Duncan was able to advise us in moving on the the next stages.

We eventually sold at a price we were satisfied with. One that was a good result in a rapidly softening market.

We’d recommend Duncan and his team at Raine and Horne to anybody wishing to work with a professional Inner West agency.

John and Anja Kennedy

5 stars across the board!

Using Duncan and the team was absolutely the best decision we could of made.

We were impressed with how they dealt with us as buyers so it was an easy decision to use them to manage our property when we leased it out and again to help us sell the property.

My husband and I can’t fault Duncan or his team.

Time and time again we have been impressed with his market knowledge, professionalism, friendly service, work ethic and communication.

Our property sold during very uncertain times and with an excellent result. I would absolutely recommend Duncan to anyone in need of an agent and have already been singing his praises to friends and family.

Kristy Burridge

Duncan Gordon review

I can highly recommend Duncan to any prospective Seller. The project to sell my property begun just prior to COVID, and so strategy required to change quickly through a very uncertain market. Duncan was able to navigate me through this period with supreme communication via phone and email the moment there was an update. I always felt I knew the status of the sale, which was very important for me given I live in Singapore. His team also helped through the Sale process administration which again helped given remote location. The sale result was very pleasing given the market conditions, Duncan managed the Buyers with tact and skill to ensure the right offer was made.

Stephen Hair

Sale of Unique Unit Boronia Street Kensington

Although auctions were cancelled 2 days prior to our planned date Duncan and Team Raine & Horne Newtown sprung in to action and adjusted our strategy accordingly. Given the restrictions resulting from Covid-19 and the downturn we were happy with the end result. I found Duncan and his staff to be very professional and diligent at all times, inspection results and comments were passed on in a timely manner, briefings were not restricted to just office hours. Calls were always returned asap.

A big thank you to Duncan and all the team.

Peter & Aree Stephens

Professional, transparent and detailed.

Overall great experience dealing with Duncan and the team at RH Newtown. Very detailed analysis of all 158 groups of people that came to see our property during the inspections. Timely communications and open recommendations throughout the whole process. Sure, probably a bit expensive compared to others, but if you're looking for thorough service, look no further than Duncan and his team.

Vendor

Staff were attentive and helpful. Duncan was very helpful and professional. I will recommend him

1 excellent service 2 friendly and efficient 3 I expected duncan's business to only get better

Steve Watson

We would highly recommend Duncan to future sellers.

M Noete

Vendor

True professional

During a time of confusion as to where the property market would be heading and unsure the true value of my property, also facing tough competition with larger properties for sale in the same street, I turned to a true professional to help me sell my property .

Through hard work, extensive research and sheer professionalism, Duncan Gordon maintained my property's profile with potential buyers and kept me informed of the process on a daily basis.

He successfully sold my property in a short time for a price that I would not have believed would be achievable.

Will

Duncan’s experience in the industry is unsurpassed.

Very happy with our recent sale. Raine and Horne Newtown are a dedicated group of professionals, dedicated to bringing you the best possible result!

Liane Gorham

Duncan Gordon is the man to sell your house for you!

My husband and I put our house on the market in optimum conditions back in February 2020. It was all going along swimmingly until we were blindsided by a pandemic! You can imagine the disheartening time that followed leading up to a total fizzer of an online auction. Here's the thing though. Our agent Duncan Gordon stayed calm and positive, kept us calm and put our house up for sale. People immediately expressed interest again and Duncan began tirelessly negotiating on our behalf. He constantly set up viewings with clients on a 1:1 basis, spoke with us every day, followed up every possible lead, working for us long after he should have clocked off and gone home. Duncan is the loveliest, most patient and cheerful real estate agent I have ever met. He was indefatigable on our behalf and consequently our property sold in this strange and unpredictable climate for a price we were very happy with. I strongly recommend Duncan Gordon as the agent to sell your house. He's your man for sure. Thankyou Duncan!

Sale of house in Newtown

Recently I made a decision to place my Newtown house on the Market. I met with Duncan and discussed the issues and market outcomes given the current environment. He was informative and provided a good appraisal on the value of the property. With the decision made, the property went on the market and was prepared for sale within a short period. Duncan was helpful in providing regular updates on the interest shown and assisted with all aspects of the sale. I was more than satisfied with the outcome.

I recommend Duncan's professionalism to anyone wanting to sell their property.

Brilliant job

Duncan Gordon did a brilliant job of selling my home at 91 George St, Erskineville earlier in the year. It was an “off market” sale and Duncan was great at talking to potential buyers from other properties and bringing them through my house. Duncan was very transparent and kept me very well informed of the status of activity with potential buyers right through to the exchange of contracts. I can thoroughly recommend Duncan.

Vendor

A true professional. Duncan informs, is a delight to deal with and delivers results!

Duncan is a true professional who is both friendly and pleasant to deal with.

From the get-go, Duncan was open and transparent, communicating and updating us, his vendors, with specific information and observations (both positive and not so positive) and answering all our questions. In addition, he was also very responsive to potential buyers' questions and needs. We are very pleased with the service and delighted with the result!

Review for Duncan Gordon

I chose Duncan Gordon at Raine and Horne because he had sold several properties in Wilson Street, Darlington recently. The attention he gave to my property sale was fantastic, and he always kept in touch and gave me excellent feedback after each Open for Inspection.

The marketing program was well designed, and the ultimate auction was well attended and bidding was vigorous. An excellent auctioneer was chosen.

I would highly recommend Duncan Gordon and was extremely happy with all aspects of the campaign.

Sandy Lawson

Experience, hard work and integrity

Duncan's integrity, sensitivity and guidance throughout the sale of my deceased father's estate was second to none. His team's attention to detail along with fast and efficient communication was fantastic and helped make this process seamless. Duncan was with us every step of the way and made us feel like we were his only clients (which I know was certainly not the case!) He helped achieve a fantastic price at auction which I feel was due to his hard work and communication with both me as the vendor and the potential buyer. I would not hesitate to recommend Duncan and Raine and Horne, Newtown. Thank you so much.

Kellie

Friendly and astute

Duncan Gordon has now sold 2 properties for me and achieved results well above expectations. Duncan has a warm friendly manner, quietly spoken and thoughtful. I would highly recommend him as an agent

Great advice and liaison with long term tenant. Kept me up to date with queries about vacant possession and notice at time of exchange. Satisfaction for owner, purchaser and tenant. All round winners.

Outstanding Service!

Since we first decided to put our property on the market, Duncans professionalism and service with helping us sell our property has been outstanding . His whole team has been so helpful, friendly, professional and have taken care of every detail thats required efficiently and quickly. The communication between Duncan and myself was constant whether it be by phone or email, we were always kept up to date every step of the way. Thank you Duncan and team, we are very happy with the sale.

Review for Duncan Gordon!

I chose Duncan Gordon at Raine and Horne because he had sold several properties in Wilson Street, Darlington recently. The attention he gave to my property sale was fantastic, and he always kept in touch and gave me excellent feedback after each Open for Inspection.

The marketing program was well designed, and the ultimate auction was well attended and bidding was vigorous. An excellent auctioneer was chosen.

I would highly recommend Duncan Gordon and was extremely happy with all aspects of the campaign.

Sandra Lawson - 432 Wilson Street, Darlington

Experience, hard working and integrity!

Duncan's integrity, sensitivity and guidance throughout the sale of my deceased father's estate was second to none, His team's attention to detail along with fast and efficient communication was fantastic and helped make this process seamless. Duncan was with us every step of the way and made us feel like we were his only clients (which i know was certainly not the case!) He helped achieve a fantastic price at auction which I feel was due to his hard work and communication with both me as the vendor and the potential buyer. I would not hesitate to recommend Duncan and Raine and Horne, Newtown. Thank you so much.

Kellie Walsh - 7/135 The Boulevarde, Dulwich Hill

Friendly and astute

Duncan Gordon had now sold 2 properties for me and achieved well above expectations. Duncan has a warm friendly manner, quietly spoken and thoughtful. I would highly recommend him as an agent.

Jane Durie - 17/292 Chalmers Street, Redfern

Result that exceeded expectation!

Duncan (and Michael) were positive, informative and helpful from our first meeting. He assisted with advice on preparing our house for sale and was responsive to us throughout the sales campaign. He was upfront and open with his opinion and advice and never set unrealistic expectations. He worked to get interested parties to out auction and we got a great sale as an outcome.

Michael Fague - 13 Stafford Street, Stanmore

The whole process went swimmingly and ended in a very satisfying, indeed quite brilliant result.

Throughout the sale period Duncan and his team were very helpful, professional and friendly. I was kept very well informed at every stage, and there was always good advice and reliable predictions. The whole process went swimmingly and ended in a very satisfying, indeed quite brilliant result.

Stephen

On top of it!!

From the decision we made to sell the house and engage R&H Newtown to be our selling agent, Duncan and his team - from admin to auctioneer, provided us with all the information we needed to have the confidence that our sale would be a well-managed process and a good result should be ensured.

Regular communications kept us informed of the interest being shown, enabling us to monitor the progress, having confidence that our criteria and target price were realistic. Thanks Duncan and the Team.

Mike - 446 Wilson Street, Darlington NSW 2008

Very thorough, experiences and professional

Duncan has many years of experience and worked diligently on my behalf to personally follow up interested parties and provide me with both verbal and written updates on the status of the sale. As the property market slows I would recommend Duncan as a real estate agent that will persist on your behalf to close the sale.

James - 121/362 Mitchell Road, Alexandria NSW 2015

Great Agent, would recommend

As a buyer, it's been a very difficult and slow process finding and buying a house we loved. Duncan was genuine and easy to deal with every step of the way, despite being the vendor's agent. I'd use him to sell when we are ready!

Catherine - Purchaser

Great Agent

Duncan always made contact to discuss every open house and kept us up to date with our prospects. He was honest with his assessment of the people viewing the property and also his assessment of the market. Highly recommend.

Peter - 410 Wilson Street, Darlington NSW 2008

Professional Service

Duncan's open and honest communication made all the difference and helped us achieve the best result in a tough property market. We'd have no hesitation recommending him and his team.

Craig - 75 Shepherd Street, Chippendale NSW 2008

Excellent Agent! Wouldn’t use anyone else

Duncan is a first class agent! Highly professional, responsive, easy to deal with and knows the market, constant communication all the way and a man of his word, whatever he said he delivered.

Not to mention, most importantly, working with Duncan is a fantastic supportive team all working hard, their communication and support was exceptional, thanks Monica and Vivienne!! The smoothest sale process. In a challenging market Duncan secured a great result for us, he is the agent you want on your side! Definitely the best agent I have dealt with in last 25 years.

Tim - 45A Park Street, Erskineville NSW 2043

A wonderful result on the sale of our house

Thank you to Duncan and the amazing team at Raine & Horne Newtown for getting us a wonderful result on the sale of our house. This could not have been achieved without the hard work, dedication, property knowledge, expertise and great customer service we received.

Kris and Mike Paxman - 3 Copeland St, Alexandria, NSW 2015

We felt we were in good hands

Proactive, clear in his advice and support, and provided regular verbal and written reports during the sale process. We felt we were in good hands, that he was fair and transparent, that we could trust him and he certainly achieved an excellent result for us in the sale of our property.

Elizabeth & Chris Greef - 42/187 Cleveland St, Redfern, NSW 2016

Excellent communication skills

Duncan was able to demystify the processes of both buying and selling through his excellent communication skills and refreshingly friendly and grounded manner in an industry that can be quite stressful to deal with. His many years of industry experience became obvious as we moved through the campaign and we saw how he interacted with the clients as individuals right the way up to and through the auction process.

Robert Fitch - 46/249 Chalmers St, Redfern, NSW 2016

A top pre-auction outcome above our expectation

Duncan worked tirelessly making sure the property was ready in the best state possible within a compressed time frame. We could trust Duncan and that he was working in our best interests. He built strong relationships with potential buyers which translated in a top pre-auction outcome above our expectation.

Jiten Voralia - 2/37 Glebe St, Glebe, NSW 2037

Professional in attitude while still being down to earth

Could not recommend Duncan Gordon more highly. Professional in attitude while still being down to earth. Very enthusiastic and supportive. His service was at all times attentive and helpful. Duncan and his staff were always on hand to help with the renovations required, and the dressing of the property for sale.

David Buckland - 81 O’Connell St, Newtown, NSW 2042

Refreshingly friendly, grounded and professional, Duncan was able to demystify the process.

We recently both bought a house and sold our apartment with Duncan and in both dealings found his approach and the outcome we achieved to be highly satisfying. Duncan was able to demystify the processes of both buying and selling through his excellent communication skills and refreshingly friendly and grounded manner in an industry that can be quite stressful to deal with. When selling our apartment he took the time to research the area and integrate his understanding into a highly successful marketing campaign. His many years of industry experience became obvious as we moved through the campaign and we saw how he interacted with the clients as individuals right the way up to and through the auction process. Duncan kept up a high level of communication and professionalism with us throughout the process and was able to be flexible and sensitive to our extremely busy schedules, helping us stay on top of what needed to be done and avoiding common pitfalls. We believe that that Duncan and his team were an integral part of our apartment reaching a price that was $140,000 over our set reserve and as importantly allowed us to complete the process in an assured, timely and relatively stress-free way.

Robert Fitch and Sally Meggitt - Vendors

Thank you Duncan for another job well done.

Duncan has sold several properties for me in recent years and gained great results. He has kept me well informed all through the process of the prelisting and sales regarding styling, marketing and interested parties . Duncan's advice and my acting on it has helped greatly in achieving far better results for these sales. Thanks again Duncan for a job well done.

40A Copeland Street, Erskineville - Murray & Kevin

The best advice I could have got, Duncan did an exceptional job.

Firstly I would like to thank the whole team at Raine & Horne Newtown at the exceptional job they did to sell my house. From the first phone call I made advising I wanted to sell my house to the actual sale I was communicated with all the way with what was going on. The advise I was given at what was needed to get the best price for the sale was the best advise I could have got. Duncan did an exceptional job in the negotiation with the sale. The price I got for the sale of my house exceeded my expectations.

788 Elizabeth Street, Waterloo - Desmond Woodman

I would recommend Duncan to anyone, he made sure we were in control of the whole process.

I found working with Duncan on the sale of our houses was very easy. I always felt that Duncan was totally on our side, which showed in the price we got. Duncan made sure that we were in control of the whole process, and referred all decision making directly to us, but managed all of the negotiations in a professional manner. I would recommend Duncan to anyone looking to sell their homes.

7 Goold Street, Chippendale Lindsay & Ken

With Duncan's experience I was in safe hands, utmost respect for his integrity.

Duncan was insightful and supportive right from the outset. He advised on preparing my house for sale, it's presentation for open houses and he kept me well informed right throughout the campaign. Duncan worked with me on every detail to ensure we achieved the best result possible and he followed through on every single commitment he made to me. I have the utmost respect for his integrity. Selling is a stressful time for anyone but with Duncan's experience I was always in safe hands. I'm extremely happy with my sale result.

89E Camden Street, Enmore Anna Wenngren

Duncan was open and transparent, no hesitation working with him again,

Duncan is a very personable person with great communication skills, keeping you well informed through all stages of the sales process. He has a great support team behind him that ensures all aspects of the sale process are taken care of. We found Duncan open and transparent in his dealings, providing excellent customer service and would not hesitate in using him again.

20 Calder Road, Darlington - Ellen Loois

Duncan is an outstanding agent with excellent knowledge, cannot recommend the team highly enough

Excellent agent - highly recommended! We found Duncan Gordon to be an outstanding agent with excellent knowledge of the local market, great communication skills and a pleasant manner. He was proactive, clear in his advice and support, and provided regular verbal and written reports during the sale process. We felt we were in good hands, that he was fair and transparent, that we could trust him and he certainly achieved an excellent result for us in the sale of our property. His team was great too. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

42/187 Cleveland Street, Redfern - Elizabeth & Chris

Would highly recommend Duncan and his team at Raine & Horne Newtown; a professional and thorough service.

My husband and I were hesitant to sell our house right from the get go. Adam and Duncan patiently took us through the entire process and answered all our questions. When we eventually hit the green light, the team were extremely efficient and had our home up on their website within days. They kept us regularly updated and were transparent with all buyer feedback. Would highly recommend the team at Raine and Horne Newtown for their professional and thorough services.

228 William Street, Kingsgrove - Andreas Yzabelle

Duncan was the right agent for the job.

Duncan did an excellent job of selling the property - at a price well above expectations. I was kept well informed throughout the process and he was the right agent for the job.

10 Myrtle Street, Chippendale – Kaye Watkins

I value Duncan's integrity, experience and realistic approach. The process was smooth and stress-free.

Duncan was recommended by a family member in the industry. I valued Duncan's integrity and experience, and realistic approach. He never over-promised and managed my expectations well. His whole team were very professional and the communication (verbal and written) throughout the campaign was very thorough. Considering the uncertainty of selling a property at auction, I found the process very smooth and, for the most part, stress-free and this was largely due to the appointment of Duncan as my estate agent. I would definitely recommend him to anyone selling their home.

174/635 Gardeners Road, Mascot, NSW 2020 – Chauntelle Roelandts

The service from Duncan and his team was faultless.

The service we received from Duncan and his team in the selling of our house in Alexandria was faultless. Due to us living out of the country, open and strong communication was crucial over the marketing period. Duncan far exceeded our expectations with comprehensive updates throughout the campaign. When it came to making the sale, Duncan's obvious effort, knowledge of the market and honest advice resulted in a sale that totally met our expectations. With no reservations, we recommend Duncan and his team to anyone looking to sell their property in this area.

Sarah & Mike Gardner – 82 Gerard Street, Alexandria

A great success by Duncan's professional manner and excellent communication.

We were satisfied with all our dealings with Duncan Gordon and his team from Raine and Horne Newtown. All matters were dealt with in a professional manner and we were supported with excellent communication throughout the process. The marketing was a great success with many interested buyers inspecting the property. The sale result at auction was most positive!

106 Australia Street, Camperdown – Phillip Duffell & Margaret McKenzie

Duncan was always enthusiastic, meticulous and conscientious.

We recently engaged Duncan Gordon to sell our three-bedroom terrace house in Chippendale and couldn’t be happier with our choice. A thoroughly consummate professional, we found his advice, experience and communication skills to be invaluable assets during the lead-up and execution of our marketing campaign. Always enthusiastic, meticulous and conscientious, it’s no surprise we achieved an outstanding result on auction day.

Owen and Julee – 34 Myrtle Street, Chippendale

Strong and open communication from the start.

We are very pleased to recommend Duncan Gordon. He has been very effective in the campaign to sell our property. He established strong and open communication from the start and was honest in his initial appraisal of the property's value. He kept us well informed. The sale was executed with respect for our wishes and his advice was very helpful. The outcome of the sale was very satisfactory and in line with our expectations and Duncan's predictions.

Ian & Ann Walton - 2/10 Cowper Street, Randwick

Would recommend Duncan and his staff to anyone.

Duncan and his staff worked incredibly efficiently, thoroughly and professionally in the lead up to my unit going on the market (at short notice) and coordinated all necessary works that were required to get the unit ready for sale. They faced various challenges but overcame them all with the utmost professionalism and great results. I was very happy with the outcome and would recommend Duncan to anyone selling a property in Sydney.

Karen Ingram & Ben Morley - 18/146-152 Cleveland Street, Chippendale

Smooth and seamless, thank you Duncan.

Thank you for your recent work in selling my property. This is the 3rd property in the Newtown area that you have transacted on my behalf and once again it was smooth and seamless. Once again you attained the exact figure that you quoted to me that my property was worth and this was incredibly important for me being in a position of purchasing another property at the same time. I also want to thank you for your advice and consulting with me to assist and guide me through the purchase of my new property. While the new property wasn't purchased through you, having your knowledge and experience of the local market gave me great peace of mind to know that I was making the best decisions possible. When it is time to move on from this latest purchase rest assured I will be calling on you to make that sale for me once again.

Robert Stoker – 42 Lennox Street, Newtown

Duncan's experience proved invaluable.

I listed my apartment for sale as Sydney transitioned from a sellers to a buyers market. High volume of stock, drop in auction clearance rates and nervous buyers made the sale tricky. However, Duncan's experience proved invaluable. He revised our sales strategy as required and delivered a GREAT SALE PRICE. Duncan and his team made the entire process seamless, which included renovation, property styling, inspection and auction. I HIGHLY recommend Duncan at Raine & Horne Newtown.

Andre Rangiah – 11/1 Wiley Street, Chippendale

Fantastic outcome as a result of Duncan's professional way.

Duncan recently sold my studio in Chippendale and achieved a price in excess of my expectations. The fantastic outcome is a result of the professional way Duncan approached the negotiations on auction today clearly demonstrating he had the confidence and trust of the buyers present. From the start, Duncan and the team at Raine & Horne did a great job preparing my property for sale from minor repairs to styling, each trade was well coordinated, prompt and professional allowing the property to go to market within a week of my decision to sell. Throughout the campaign, Duncan kept me informed of the interest in my property giving me peace of mind in what is otherwise a stressful process and allowing me to make informed decisions along the way. Matthew and the team at Raine & Horne also take care of my rental properties with the same professionalism..

Geoff Leerdam – 62/92-120 Cleveland Street, Chippendale

Impressed with Raine & Horne Newtown with both leasing and selling.

I would like to say how impressed I am with Raine and Horne Newtown. I have held an investment property in Redfern for over 4 years. Lydia Moles looked after the tenancies and was easily contactable. Finding a tenant was never difficult and Lydia was always very proactive and professional with all her dealings/communication with me. Upon making a decision to sell the unit, Raine and Horne Newtown was my first choice. Duncan Gordon was extremely professional, honest and trustworthy and achieved a quick sale for a great price! His communication skills are excellent and I would recommend Raine and Horne Newtown to anyone who wishes to lease or sell a property – hassle free!

Amanda Wilson - 1102/157 Redfern Street, Redfern

More than happy, Duncan and his team worked tirelessly for our property.

Duncan Gordon and his team have worked tirelessly to ensure the prompt sale of our property. We were kept informed every step of the process. He is knowledgeable, friendly, organised and very positive. We were more than happy with the services provided to us by Duncan.

Steve & Suzie King - 25/187 Cleveland Street, Redfern

Would highly recommend Duncan and the Raine & Horne team.

Really impressed and pleased with Duncan’s approach and advice on the sale of our property. He knew the market well and gave us sound advice. Outcome achieved was excellent and done with a minimum of fuss or stress. From the start we knew strategy, approach to negotiation with sellers, timetable and costs involved to achieve a successful sale. Would definitely highly recommend Duncan and his team at R & H Newtown to prospective sellers.

Cheryl & Mark Slatyer - 11/33 Wells St, Redfern

Would not hesitate to use Duncan and the team again.

Living overseas and having had tenants in the property for a couple of years, there was quite a bit of work to do to tidy the property up. Duncan co-ordinated all the tradesman and made sure the house was looking its best for auction day. Duncan kept me well informed of progress in the lead up to the sale. Most importantly, on auction day, he secured for me the price I was after. I would not hesitate to use Duncan and his team again.

Catherine Asbridge – 112 Wells Street, Newtown

Communication specialist, worry free and easy thanks to Duncan and the Raine & Horne team.

Duncan and the team at Raine and Horne Newtown have made the sale of our inner city terrace a worry free and easy exercise. Duncan and the team provide a full package starting with consistent follow up of our expression of interest to sell without the hard sell. Then providing market intelligence, assisting and coordinating with the trades required to prepare the property for sale. Duncan laid out a clear strategy and provided regular follow up with phone contact and marketing reports. He is a communication specialist, reliable, available and easy to contact. He made us feel in control and didn’t put any pressure on us with our decision, a rare commodity amongst previous agent we have dealt with in the past. On the day we sold our property and I am sure this would not have happened without Duncan. We have purchased and now sold two properties with Raine and Horne Newtown. They are the best and Duncan is their best selling agent. Thanks to all the team.

Paul & Joanne Rowe – 28 Shepherd Street, Chippendale

No hesitation in recommending Duncan.

When we bought our Newtown home in 2010, Duncan was the selling agent. As buyers, Duncan was proactive in bringing us in and getting us to the auction. He kept in touch and provided accurate answers to our many questions. Of course, on auction day, as agent for the vendors, he extracted every dollar he could from us. I forgive him for that (just!). By 2015, our family had outgrown our home and it was time for us to sell. We knew immediately that Duncan was the agent that we wanted to work with. He came to meet with us to plan a sale campaign together. At all times, he provided a great service with excellent communication. We were kept informed of customer sentiment during the open house inspections, and expectations for the sale price were refined accordingly. In the end, Duncan was sold our home prior to going to auction, for a price that represented the very top of our expectations. It was a great sale result and left us in a strong position for our subsequent new family home purchase. After paying a high purchase price through Duncan in 2010, we were very pleased that he was able to provide a counterbalance with a high sale price six years later! Of course, we have no hesitation in recommending Duncan to any of our friends wanting to sell a property.

Nicole Graham & Stuart Khan – 120 Gowrie Street, Newtown

Great confidence in Duncan with a successful sale.

Raine and Horne have managed our property under a rental situation for some time now. Duncan continued to show interest in the property albeit his role is more sales directed. Over time, Duncan fielded many enquiries from us concerning market movements and general sales information. When finally decided to proceed with a sale, Duncan proposed a sales campaign prior to Spring to take advantage of the current Sydney housing market fluctuation. Listing the property at the leading edge of the Spring season was to hopefully place our property ahead of the full Spring campaigns. With Duncan’s valuable experienced input we place are target sale price within the $900k. Complicating the advertising campaign were three main issues 1) the apartment lease being renewed, 2) historical issues with the apartment complex and 3) the campaign coincided with our long planned European holiday. 1)Duncan managed the tenants with consideration whilst still maintaining focus for the apartment best presentation to achieve the best sales return. 2)Due to construction issues associated with all apartments within the complex, additional levies applied for programmed works. Duncan managed this difficult situation with a very professional approach methodical approach. 3)Whilst we were on holidays Duncan kept us well informed. Duncan’s telephone calls and emails provided us with a high level of knowledge of the sale process. It was not unusual for Duncan to ring whilst we were visiting renowned sites such as the Louvre Museum in Paris. The apartment was extensively advertised. The issues of the higher levies proved a challenge for Duncan. However Duncan managed this situation in his stride and successfully attained a sale in our targeted price range. Well done! Throughout the sales process Duncan maintained a very polite, respectful and professional manner. We would recommend Duncan for any prospective Client. It is worth noting, we did not meet once with Duncan during the campaign or finalising the sale. This shows our confidence in Duncan. We thank you Duncan for your personal assistance.

Margaret and Ross Smith – 115 49 Henderson Road Alexandria

Extremely positive experience with Raine & Horne Newtown and Duncan, outstanding service.

Our experience with Raine and Horne Newtown over the last 2 years has been extremely positive, from our purchase of our investment property in September 2013 through to our sale of it in August 2015. Our rental property manager was Lydia Moles, who was at all times pleasant and efficient, and despite us living 700km away, we always felt in touch and well informed. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience as vendors, and feel we have learnt a great deal. The apartment was on the market within a week of the tenants vacating, looking very sleek and polished – with the professional styling, necessary repairs and maintenance having been coordinated and carried out quickly and efficiently. We were always kept well informed during the sales campaign, and feel preparation for auction day by Duncan and his team was professional, thorough and rigorous. We were delighted with the result on auction day, gaining a higher sale price than we had hoped for in spite of challenging auction conditions. A big thank you to Duncan and the rest of the Raine & Horne team for their outstanding service and dedication.

Cathy & Grant – 1/7 Stafford Street, Stanmore

Fantastic throughout the whole process.

Thank you so much Duncan, you were fantastic throughout the whole process. Duncan guided us through from start to finish, kept us up to date with everything and ended up negotiating a sale well in excess of what we were expecting. If you are selling your house in this area you have to speak to Duncan – he took great care of us and legitimately cared about getting us the best price possible. Thank you again.

Peter & Nick Jones – 117 Darley Street Newtown

Thoroughly recommend, honest and hassle free approach from Duncan.

We were in communication with Duncan many months before we listed. He stuck with us, until we were ready. No hassles, just a good exchange of information. Honest, and solid in his delivery. A relaxed professional approach to achieving a maximum sale price. Fantastic to work with, thoroughly recommend.

Steve & Jacqui Worrall – 45 Alexander Street, Alexandria

Duncan made us feel at ease, a very satisfactory result achieved.

Duncan recently sold our property at Alexandria and his knowledge of the local area and recent sales was outstanding. He shared this knowledge with us and was upfront and honest throughout the whole auction process. He gave us regular updates on interested parties and kept us "in the loop" at all times. On the day of the auction, Duncan made us feel at ease and with his help, the auction ran smoothly and a very satisfactory result was achieved. Thank you Duncan.

Murray Orsman - 40c Copeland Street, Alexandria

Relaxed, professional approach; Duncan was fantastic to work with.

Steve & Jacqui Worrall - 45 Alexander Street, Alexandria

Great communication throughout from the Raine & Horne team.

The team at Raine and Horne provided great communication throughout, keeping us in the loop about market expectations and feedback during the lead up to auction. There was no pressure on us to follow a set plan of action, but rather advice on the best ways to achieve our goals. They provided advice and support in styling, presentation and campaign timings to achieve a maximized outcome. After meeting many of the staff, we found everyone to be very professional and friendly. Our sales result was on par with our expectations from initial consult, so all up we had a great experience and would recommend and use the team again for future property sales.

Stuart & Bridget Flynn – G03/23 Corunna Road, Stanmore

Thoroughly good experience from start to finish.

I’ve had a thoroughly good experience with Raine & Horne Newtown from start to finish. The professionalism and experience, and importantly, poise throughout the sale and negotiation process, demonstrated by Duncan Gordon and his sales team was excellent. Ultimately I couldn’t have imagined a better result. Communication throughout the campaign was great as I was always up to date with the developments. I received regular reports and was kept abreast of milestones such as contract requests and strata search purchases. Duncan’s recommendations were spot on, from how to present and advertise the property through to how to encourage people to make their best offers. Excellent stuff guys! Thanks.

Jordan Ralph – 1/17-37 Lawrence Street, Alexandria

The perfect team to assist in selling our property. Duncan's team was genuine and passionate.

We bought a property through Duncan and the Raine and Horne Newtown team a few months back and decided that they were the perfect team to assist with selling our existing property. Yes, of course I carry out my due diligence and approached another 2 real estate agencies in the area, but it was obvious that Duncan and the team were a lot more genuine and pocessed a lot more passion in what they do. We were guided through each step of the selling process and provided update after every house opening, as well as weekly updates on the marketing campaign. Our property was sold after 4 weeks with a very successful outcome. Thanks to Duncan and the team for a smooth and successful sale. Will definitely recommend you guys to family and friends.

Nathan Nguyen – 12 Excelsior Parade, Marrickville

Recommend without hesitation, level of service and expertise was over and above from Duncan.

I consulted Duncan 6 months before auction & he provided an honest opinion & realistic expectations for possible sale. There was absolutely no ‘hard sell’ & his information was provided in a balanced & professional manner. Once we decided to proceed, he promptly provided renovation & marketing options, all very clear & of significant value for money. His experience in the Inner Sydney area was obvious and he was happy to share this in optimising the marketing plan. Communication during the renovation & home dressing was second to none. With us living overseas, Duncan regularly emailed but also was available anytime if we had any concerns. He was realistic with the plan & initially recommended rolling the schedule by a week to ensure everything was top notch. Closer to the first open house, Duncan altered the plan as preparations were completed early & we were ready to go. During the marketing campaign, Duncan provided prompt & exhaustive analysis of every prospective buyer. The information he obtained was accurate, as I am sure the prospective buyers also appreciated his honest answers to any inquiry. I was very impressed that he established relationships with each prospective buyer & provided balanced feedback. Approaching the planned auction date, Duncan contacted us to advise of possible offers prior to auction that were positive but also realistic. Based on his advice I was happy to pursue this avenue & he achieved an amazing price in excess of what we expected. I have dealt with numerous agents over the years, and I can honestly say that the level of service, expertise & honesty we received from Duncan is over & above any other agent. I would recommend him without reservation. Great job Duncan!

Darren Hicks – 10/466 Wilson Street, Darlington

Professional and trustworthy; I wouldn't hesitate to use Duncan again.

Duncan Gordon is professional, accessible and trustworthy. He has impeccable knowledge of the market and very good contacts on the buy side. He has a great rapport with clients. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy or sell another property using Duncan as the agent.

Cameron Williams – 1507/157 Redfern Street, Redfern

Extremely happy with the result from the team.

Thanks to the team in helping selling our unit. We were extremely happy with the result and is a great relief for us. We were impressed how the unit looked with the styling and rental furniture and the campaign couldn’t have gone better. Thanks again

Fiona & John – 114/23 Corunna Road, Stanmore

Duncan is professional, cooperative and provides good advice.

Duncan assisted me in the sale of my unit at Redfern. The service Duncan provided was very good in that he kept me updated at all times on the outcomes of the open house. He contacted me after every open house on the same day and provided an update two days later as well after following up with interested clients that visited during the open house. This kept me aware of the number of people interested in the unit and potentially how many showed an interest in being at the auction. The unit was occupied by tenants and based on Duncan’s previous experience he provided me with advice on how to manage the tenants so they would be cooperative during the open house sessions. I accepted the advice and it paid off well for me as the tenants were very co-operative during the whole time the unit was on sale and during the pre-settlement visit by the buyer. Duncan negotiated an appropriate price with the buyer and advised me on whether to proceed to auction based on his negotiations with interested clients. He was able to get me the price I was after and the unit was sold pre- auction. I found Duncan very professional, co-operative, open to my suggestions and provided me with good advice based on his vast experience in the business.

Sneha Satya – 1407/157 Redfern Street, Redfern

Exceeded my expectations, couldn't be happier.

Duncan was very communicative during the sale of my property, I was updated after every open home and on a weekly basis with buyers and contract holders. I was really pleased with the outcome of the sale it exceeded even my expectations and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I would definitely recommend Duncan and his team to my friends and family. Well done and thanks so much!

Mark Brown – 20/198-204 Marrickville Road, Marrickville

In capable hands with Duncan's professionalism and knowledge, supported by his wonderful team.

Duncan Gordon recently sold my home in Chippendale. Selling a property is a stressful experience but from the outset I knew that I was in capable hands. Duncan’s professionalism, courtesy and knowledge of the area were immediately apparent. I feel confident that the market was thoroughly tested. The campaign was well designed and well executed – the quality of the photographs, floor plans, video and brochures were excellent. After each viewing Duncan provided prompt and regular updates on the open house sessions, which included a summary of comments people were making about the property. These comments were useful and they served to keep my expectations in check. I could not have been more pleased with the sales result, which exceeded my expectations. This result was achieved primarily through Duncan’s hard work which was supported by the wonderful team at Raine & Horne Newtown. I have already recommended Duncan to others and will continue to do so.

A job well done thanks to Duncan and his patient, knowledgeable professionalism.

One word sums up Duncan Gordon in my opinion — professionalism. He was knowledgeable about property values in the area. Our house had its particular issues and Duncan was honest enough to give us a very open valuation. He advised us on ways we could add value to the property but accept with grace our decision to not follow all of his recommendations. He had the support of the agency’s tradesmen who went out of their way to give us quick, efficient service at a very reasonable price. He called after every open house to discuss the level of interest in the property. I liked the fact that he provided honest feedback, remaining positive but not exaggerating our sale prospects. The auction was very stressful for me but Duncan was very understanding and patient. I think Duncan did a great job and we were very happy with the price we achieved. Although Duncan must have been extremely busy, he never rushed us. He was always available, friendly, helpful, patient and good humoured. Thank you, Duncan for a job well done.

The entire experience was flawless thanks to Duncan and his team

Duncan, I would like to take the opportunity to THANK YOU and your team for the help and support in the lead up to what was a very positive auction of our property at 30 Gowrie St, Newtown. Your communication throughout this entire experience was flawless. Your advice was absolutely spot on when it came to preparing and marketing the property. And your contacts in the building and styling side of things made this experience so much simpler for us. I am a naturally conservative and wary person, and to have formed a relationship where I absolutely trusted your advice and your intent without question, speaks volumes about your character as well as your professionalism. I have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who is thinking about selling or buying, and have already sung your praises to a number of close friends and colleagues. These comments are echoed by my wife, and my young daughters, with whom you appropriately included in all conversations. Thank you so much, Duncan. Kind Regards

Josh Alexander – 30 Gowrie Street, Newtown

Absolute accuracy, 100% positive experience working with Duncan.

Simply, for me as a professional, it is always a pleasure to watch another professional in action; ethics, knowledge, planning, attention to detail with absolute accuracy, execution of the plan, success. Is there anything to improve? I would not know about it. My experience is 100% positive. We first met Duncan 15 months ago after quite a few months of trying to buy some property with other agents. Then we met Duncan and realised we were getting a completely different level of service, where he really listened to what we needed and found it for us. So as you can see, we know Duncan from both sides; Buyer’s and Vendor’s and we cannot but recommend him to everybody, who wants to have a good and stress free experience. Thank you Duncan and the whole team, don’t forget us we may be back for more!

Jan Rosa – 20 Myrtle Street, Chippendale

Warm, professional, honest, attentive and no-nonsense approach.

Duncan your warm, professional, honest, attentive and no-nonsense approach was really appreciated over the entire process of selling our property. It took a lot of patience and persistence on your part, and you were always there following up on every detail, any queries and providing excellent feedback with a smile. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone considering selling their home.

Helen & James Sykes – 17/44 Ewart Street, Marrickville

Outstanding performance on our property.

Now that the dust has settled on the sale of 2-4 Union Street Erskineville, I’d like to pass a few comments on our dealings with you and your staff. More than that, I have been scratching my head trying to think of suggestions as to where your team might improve and I am at a loss, so outstanding was your performance on our property. Here’s why: Above all, the entire experience for Denise and me was a relaxing and pleasant one – something that can only come from the knowledge that we were in good hands. Duncan, please feel free to show this email to any prospective client or to give them my contact details if they want to check up on you first hand. Best regards and many thanks again to you and your team.

The most important thing for me was trust and honesty.

Most of us only deal with property transactions a few times in our lives and expect it to be stressful. Duncan made the sales process easy for me. He made wise suggestions about timing (to avoid holiday periods and to line up with settlement on the purchase of another property) and preparing the property for sale – he recommended some simple changes that were inexpensive but I think made the property attractive to more buyers. He provided regular, comprehensive information on interested buyers. He also gave me the option when offers for the property intensified prior to auction to hold a last minute silent auction despite it being a real hassle for him to have to administer compared to a 15 minute auction process. This brought a great result that exceeded my expectations. However, the most important thing for me was to be able to deal with an agent I felt I could trust and who was honest the whole way through – something that many of us are sceptical of in real estate agents. I highly recommend Duncan’s services.

Liz Livingstone – 7/14 Hastings Street, Marrickville

Thank you for the outstanding result. The professionalism was exceptional.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the outstanding result that you achieved in selling my house. From the moment you took over as my managing agent the service that you provided me was first class. Not only did you achieve an outstanding result, the work that you undertook in selling my property including the organisation of painting (both inside and out), new carpets and furniture-styling, meant that I did not have to worry about a thing. I could go to work each day and come home to find something else had been completed. Your professionalism and the can do attitude, was exceptional. Throughout the entire sales process, you kept me informed and respected my wishes which I much appreciated. I would without hesitation recommend you to others wishing to sell a property in the inner west. Once again, thank you for all of your services and the outstanding sales result. Yours sincerely

David O’Malley – 45 Park Street, Erskineville

We were nurtured and cared for by all the staff, Duncan was sincere and passionate.

The sale of the house in Edward Street was more than a transfer of a property for money it was an emotional and heartfelt end to a most glorious history, the home had been in our family for 140 years handed down through generations, with the death of my Aunt it ended. We interviewed several agents because this sale had to be done by someone who provided an honest, sincere and passionate approach in their service. Duncan supplied this and more. We were kept informed every step of the way, provided with constant feedback and advice, nurtured and cared for by all the staff at Raine and Horne Newtown. The reserve we had in mind was surpassed; the auction was swift vibrant and professional; the team that surrounded us cried with us at the fall of the hammer, comforted us and were simply incredible. We will be using Duncan again without a doubt, I highly recommend the service he provided and that of his whole team outstanding!

Janice Font – 36 Edward Street, Darlington

Very impressed with the high quality service. Total confidence we were in good hands.

Thank you for all your help selling our Erskineville terrace. We were very impressed with the high quality of service and professionalism from you and your team at Raine & Horne Newtown. We really appreciated all your hard work and dedication to achieving the best possible result for us. We particularly liked the way that you kept us fully informed throughout the campaign, especially with your detailed weekly reports. Your experience and expert knowledge of the Erskineville market gave us total confidence that we were in good hands. We really enjoyed working with you and appreciated your friendly and honest approach. Thanks to your hard work and fantastic negotiation skills, we ended up achieving a sale price that exceeded our expectations. We were delighted with the end result. Thanks again.

Duncan and Michael blended their talents.

What stood out for me by using Raine and Horne Newtown was the fact that although Duncan Gordon was the prime agent, his partner and the whole team behind them both, worked at getting the buyers to the auction and that Duncan and Michael blended their talents and thereby boosted the potential to get the result that I was happy with.

Heather Wilson-Steel – 76 Station Street, Newtown

Duncan kept me updated every step of the way.

Having bought my apartment from R&H Newtown in 2006 I was impressed by Duncan’s track record in Chippendale and Darlington, so decided to re-list with R&H Newtown when it came time to sell. Duncan has extensive industry and local area sales knowledge and was able to ensure that the apartment was presented at its best which resulted in a quick sale (4 weeks) despite a hectic and competitive market. Duncan kept me updated every step of the way and there were no surprises. It was a great result and I would be happy to recommend Duncan to any prospective seller.

Matt – 5/146 Cleveland Street, Chippendale

I cannot recommend highly enough.

I cannot recommend Duncan Gordon and the team from Raine and Horne, Newtown, highly enough. From the moment that I met Duncan (recommended to me by my neighbour – he had sold her house in Darlington for well above the expected price) I was impressed. He is professional, extremely knowledgeable, approachable and I felt sure he would act in my best interest. He kept me informed on a regular basis, always happy to answer my questions and at no time did I feel anything by confidence in him. I actually commented to a number of people how happy I was with Duncan and the team. I am a demanding consumer, being from an extensive business and marketing background, and often note that, unfortunately, extremely good service in any business area is not prevalent enough. Raine and Horne ticked all the boxes of what I would expect from a professional real estate company. Paula, the other agent who acted for me was also excellent, as were the office staff and anyone connected to Raine and Horne. I achieved an excellent price for my apartment in Lewisham and would have no hesitation in contacting Duncan Gordon if I were again in a position of selling or buying.

Deborah – 3/54 The Boulevard, Lewisham

Duncan and Raine and Horne was an obvious choice.

Thanks for your message yesterday. I thought I’d respond in writing to let you know how pleased we were with the conduct of the sale of our property. Over the several years that I’ve been receiving your regular market reports I’ve been impressed by your professionalism and knowledge of real estate in the inner west, gleaned from a long commitment to the area. When it came to our sale you were the obvious choice and my confidence in your abilities proved to be entirely justified. Your advice was sound and the attention to the many details involved in the sale process was flawless from our point of view. The end result was extremely pleasing for us and a credit to the efforts of you and all your team. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services and should the opportunity arise in the future, I would readily make use of them again. Many thanks for your great work.

We sold whilst living overseas, Duncan and his team were absolutely perfect.

To whom it may concern: In May 2013 we engaged Duncan and the Raine & Horne Newtown team to sell our terrace house in Beaconsfield. Because we live overseas, and would not be in the country for the bulk of the campaign, selecting an agent was a difficult decision for us. We wanted someone we could trust and who would look after all of the details for us, in our absence. I’m very happy to report that Duncan and his team were absolutely perfect in this regard, exceeding all our expectations. He went out of his way to ensure that our experience was as stress-free as possible, by communicating regularly and in great detail. The team took care of the many small details which together added up to an immaculately-presented house, and an extremely satisfying sales result. This included the tradespeople, stylists, and others who presented our property in the best possible way, targeted at a well-defined demographic. Through their combined work, we believe the best possible result was achieved. As Duncan said to us at one point, one of the most valuable contributions that a seller’s agent can make is to provide level-headed objective advice, during the emotional process of selling a house. This helped us immensely, as he often brought us gently around to a different perspective which paid off on auction day. Our recommendation of Duncan and his team is absolutely unequivocal. Please feel free to contact us for any further information or clarification.

A great campaign and wow, what a fantastic result!

A big thank you to Duncan Gordon and his team at Raine and Horne Newtown for selling my property in Darlington. It was a great campaign and wow, what a fantastic result! Duncan, your market knowledge, enthusiasm, communication and negotiating skills produced a result far in excess of initial expectations. I was very grateful for your guidance and it was a pleasure having you work for me as my agent. I would also like to commend the rest of the team for the great job they did with advertising, organising and generally making whole experience surprisingly stress free. I would definitely recommend your services to others.

Sandra – 59 Cleveland Street, Darlington

A superior understanding of the intricacies of the local market.

Why we would recommend Duncan Gordon from Raine and Horne. In selling our property at 38 Thomas Street, Darlington, Duncan impressed from our first meeting as having a superior understanding of the intricacies of the local market. Apart from a successful sales record, we wanted an agent that would be ‘on the same page ‘ as us from beginning to end….strategy, presentation, communication etc. Duncan delivered completely. We took on board his initial suggestion of professionally furnishing the house…this was such a positive move…easily organised and resulting in first class presentation. He knew exactly how to approach the sale. Effectively communicated both with us and prospective purchasers during the whole process, we felt fully involved throughout the campaign. The marketing was spot on and targeted. Via the Raine & Horne relationship with media outlets, we secured prized editorial space and excellent positioning for our advertising. As auction day arrived, Duncan guided us superbly, providing us with a thorough breakdown of all the relevant details, advising an optimal approach for the day’s decision-making. Duncan and his team supported us magnificently on the day. Our appreciation and thanks to you all.

Sue & Michael – 38 Thomas Street, Darlington

A pleasure to deal with and a fantastic result.

I recently sold my 1 bedroom apartment in Alexandria with Duncan Gordon, and I couldn’t be happier with his professionalism, communication and overall strategy for the sales campaign. Duncan and his team were a pleasure to deal with from the very initial contact. Nothing was too much effort and I was guided through the whole process to make it a relatively painless process (as painless as it can be selling a property!). In the end, Duncan’s excellent negotiation skills resulted in a fantastic result above for the apartment which was above our initial expectations. I would have no problems in recommending Duncan to anyway looking to sell in the inner west.

Friendly, genuine, communicative, helpful, human.

I came across Duncan in my search for a new home. Having been treated almost contemptuously by so many dishonest and disinterested agents along the way, I was surprised and relieved to deal with an agent who was friendly, genuine, and communicative. He answered my many questions with good humour, and never made me feel like he was in a rush or was pushing me to commit. Even though I knew he was working for the seller, this was never obvious to me as a buyer and I feel this is the mark of a talented agent. I ended up buying that property, which meant my existing home needed a selling agent. Duncan was the obvious choice. Knowing I could trust him to treat my potential buyers respectfully was a huge draw-card, as were his many glowing testimonials on the Raine & Horne website that equally lauded his personality and skill. Duncan kept me informed almost every day of the Auction campaign, even when there was nothing much to report. He was totally reliable, in control, and gave thorough feedback on buyer interest. He patiently answered all of my questions, explained his tactics, and involved me in every decision from start to finish. I was very pleased with the sale price of my property. And whilst it is the market rather than the agent that determines a property’s value, I know that Duncan was responsible for reaching into the market and securing my bidders. All in all I had around 2 months of dealing with Duncan and I’ll miss our interactions, being able to share humour through a stressful time made the buying and selling experience so much more bearable. Even enjoyable! Thank you Duncan & everyone I dealt with at Raine & Horne Newtown for being so helpful, friendly, and human.

Annabel – 3/12 George Street, Marrickville

Achieved above our expectations; the team were exceptional throughout our campaign.

Duncan Gordon and his team were exceptional throughout our campaign. Duncan’s attention to detail, outstanding communication and clear knowledge of the property business made the process of selling our house easy. We achieved above our expectations in price and would highly recommend the team from Raine and Horne Newtown. Thanks again for all of your assistance with our sale.

Luke & Amelia – 87 Hirst Street, Arncliffe

Straightforward and realistic, my property and interests were in good hands.

I decided to go with Duncan and Raine & Horne as Duncan’s initial presentation to me was straightforward and realistic. Having made that decision I was impressed by the attention to detail from Duncan in person and from the staff at RH. I had never been through the process of selling a property and at all times I was well-informed and felt that my property and my interests were in good hands. I received timely updates after each open house and the follow-up with prospective buyers was rigorous and positive. In the week leading up to the auction Duncan kept me fully informed of developments and the final outcome was way beyond my wildest hopes. While there is always a bit of luck and timing involved in these situations I strongly believe that Duncan’s role was critical. The rapid escalation of interest in the property as the auction approached reflected Duncan’s excellent management of and communication with the prospective buyers. I would have no hesitation in recommending Duncan and the team at Raine&Horne. I am really very happy to provide the feedback as I found the service excellent, not just because of the outcome.

Jane – 3/24 Clara Street, Erskineville

Helped us achieve the best result possible.

Duncan and the team combine an extensive knowledge of the area with a passion for real estate. We really appreciated their professional, responsive and thoughtful approach and have no doubt that they helped us to achieve the best result possible.

James & Geraldine – 167 Alice Street, Newtown

Went out their way to make everything happen smoothly.

Just wanted to thank you very much for all your effort in the sale of my son’s house in Newtown. Your information prior to the sale regarding potential result was spot on and turned out to be even better than expected. All the team were fantastic with replying promptly and were very patient and helpful with any questions that I had. I think they went out of their way to make everything happen smoothly for me. I must say that it was very emotional and traumatic selling my sons house, but you made it very easy for me and were extremely helpful with all of your suggestions. You not only made the right suggestions, you then helped out by getting tradesmen etc for any work that needed to be done prior to the sale. It was going to be a very sad day on auction day so I was very happy to sell prior to the auction and at such a good price. Thanks again to everyone involved.
