Record sale
Michael Harris and his team are prompt, courteous, supportive, helpful and professional. From the very beginning to the end Michael and his team were always there for any questions we had and we had quite a few. Michael clearly communicated the strategy, reflections on strategy as the market reacted, updates on buyers and setting the reserve. Everything was explained clearly and they were never in a rush. The sale price was a record. Michael had us listening in to the auction and our anxiety quickly morphed into excitement and finally absolute joy.
Hats off to Michael and his team!

On recommendation from a friend and former client of Michael's I asked him to handle the sale of my investment property in Enmore, NSW.

From arranging conveyancer, stylist, cleaner and handyman to tidy the grounds, to negotiating the sale prior to auction with a very satisfactory price, I couldn't have been happier. I'll have no hesitation in recommending Michael to any one who might ask me. Thanks Michael and Viv.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Michael to any potential seller.
Local knowledge goes a long way!
Michael lives in the Inner West and knows both the market and the people. He helped us tailor a credible sales strategy.
Friendly and Professional
I have just exchanged contracts to purchase a Newtown property through Michael. Throughout the inspection, enquiry and negotiation phases Michael was friendly, engaging, helpful and professional. A pleasure to deal with.
Fantastic Agent and Team!
Michael and his team have been wonderful in securing a sale for my home in a challenging market. Through every step of the process, from organizing tradespeople to prepare the house for sale until contracts were exchanged, they always acted with diligence, attention to detail, utmost professionalism and respect. Michael clearly knows the Newtown market but above all I think it’s his people skills that make him an exceptional agent.
Mission Accomplished
I found Matthew and Michael Harris to be extremely helpful in all ways eg communication, email liaison and honest throughout the entire process. It was nice to have experienced friendly, helpful and thorough sales agents acting on behalf at all times.
In short I felt totally safe in their hands throughout the entire exercise.
My sales was not just about the very best price in the market as there were other factors that also needed to be considered for me to make my next move and it was apparent that both Matthew and Michael listened to me re these concerns.
A considerate and informed agent in a difficult market for vendors
Michael was always professional and personable, keeping me informed at every step of the way on how things were going with inspections, potential buyers' responses and comments.
Both Michael and Melissa were excellent communicators with a responsible approach to keeping me as the client informed, and providing helpful guidance when required.
In this very difficult market - for vendors - it was good to know I had the best possible team working with me.
I would recommend Michael and the team to anyone wanting to sell.
Fantastic Agent. Highly Recommended
Michael has excellent local knowledge and contacts. He is professional and works hard for his clients. Highly recommended.
Outstanding

I couldn't have wished for a more seamless process - and I got a fantastic result!
Michael Harris
Michael was completely ethical and honest and throughout the sale we had total confidence that our interests were his number one priority. Michael kept us really well informed every step of the way. In a difficult market, Michael came up with the sale!
Above Average
During the whole process, I have only met Michael twice. He was quite pleasant overall. I was mainly in contact with Matthew throughout. I would say the whole process was not as pushy and annoying as some other agents. However there were times that I thought they pushed too much. Comparing with some agents I have dealt with in the past. I would recommend their service.
I look forward to working with you again in the future!
My property has been managed by R&H Newtown for the past few years so I knew I was in very good hands when selecting them to sell my property. Throughout the whole process I knew exactly what was happening and what needed to happen next. I look forward to working with you again in the future!
Way beyond expectations
This is the fifth time that we have engaged Michael to sell or buy a house.
Every single time he has gone way beyond expectations to deliver fantastic results.
What a great agent
I couldn't have asked for more. I received constant updates on what was happening, Michael's communications were excellent and realistic. He provided me with sensible expectations and didn't oversell my property to me. The price I received for my sale was excellent and I believe due in no small part, to Michael and his team. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a real estate agent.
A lovely energy for big decision

A professional approach with a great result
Michael did not disappoint and his team did a great job in marketing the property.
We wouldn’t work with anyone else
When we decided to sell our home, we knew right away we would go with Michael Harris. He is so professional, knowledgeable about the inner west market, patient with our many anxious queries, responded to all emails and phone calls within an hour or less, and achieved a better result for the sale of our house than our best imagined outcome.
Our biggest decision, in great hands
Michael and the team were entrusted with sale of our home and biggest asset. Having originally brought our home via Michael about 9 years ago, his professionalism then made him an obvious choice to sell our home. Michael and the team did not disappoint.

The ultimate measure of the job done by Michael and the team was a great sale price for our biggest asset!!!

Handled quickly, efficiently and professionally
I'd highly recommend Michael Harris and his team. Everything to do with the sale of my property was handled quickly, efficiently and professionally.

Great Leader
This is the first time I had ever sold a house and it was easy to do it with Michael and his team. The only stressful period was just before the auction when we weren't sure if we'd get a good outcome, but then it all went well. It’s a team effort and it was great to have Michael leading the crew.

Michael marketed the sale of our house in Newtown and we have been very happy the result.

We are pleased with the assistance Michael provided and have no hesitation in recommending him for real estate services in the future.
I could not speak highly enough of the service and communication
From the initial discussion at the intention of putting my property on the market, his knowledge and advice as to how to maximise its potential and then the service offered through a professional team of trades people to do that work. All work and cost very visible and total consultation with myself every step. Once on the market constant feedback and reports as to interest. To the ultimate testament to his and teams knowledge and experience with a fantastic sale result on the day. Could not have been happier!

A Fantastic and Trustworthy Agent & Team
After 8 months of house-hunting, we were completely dismayed by the Real Estate Agents we had dealt with. Until we had the absolute please of purchasing our first property through Michael and his team.

The service we received from Michael and his team was fantastic and we cannot thank them enough for going above and beyond getting us in to our home.
Excellent presentation recommendations
A very professional effort with excellent presentation recommendations to maximize top value potential.

First time sellers
Being our first time selling a property, communication and trust in our agent were big factors in our choice. Choosing Michael was well founded as his knowledge of the current market, detailed and consistent messaging and confidence in his decisions delivered us a (relatively) stress free result that was in line with our price expectations. I would recommend Michael to anyone selling in the local area and certainly use him and his team again.
Beyond Expectations
Michael made selling my house a dream. His expert knowledge and attention to details meant that I was getting the right advice at the right time. He contacted me regularly throughout the process and provided a comprehensive analysis on potential buyers and likely outcomes. It was the first time selling a house for me and Michael took all the stress out of the sale. I recommend Michael to all my friends and family who are thinking of selling their house.
Ultimate Professional
Michael is such a professional. I have now worked with Michael as a buyer and a seller and I do believe that he has both parties best interest at heart, although both want different things. As a seller, Michael was very proficient and communicated with me at every step. I was pleased with the outcome of the sale of my beloved house and I was glad Michael found someone who would love the house as much as I did.

Michael is an excellent communicator and we were very pleased with his negotiation skills and he always kept us in the loop.
A good result in a falling market
In a market that could be best described as softening, Michael still gained me a result that exceeded my expectations. I fear a less experienced agent may not have taken market indicators on board as Michael did, and the advice I received definitely contributed to the positive result.
A thoroughly professional job well done
I found Michael to be very easy to deal with. I had complete confidence that he was working in our best interests. Questions were answered promptly and clearly. Michael advised us well on how to present the property to its best advantage to secure a good price, without going overboard with expensively dressing the property.

Have had 2 experience of working with Michael, both were excellent and produced the results we were looking for. Michael gave honest feedback and worked with us to get the outcomes we wanted
A credit to the industry and his employer
I can’t speak highly enough of Michael and the team has made. They have honestly earner the 5 star rating and well above.

He is a credit to the industry and I have no hesitation in recommending him, you will not be disappointed.

Michael provided us with an informative weekly report while on the market and guided us through the auction proceedings as this was our first time.
Very Happy!
Throughout the process of selling our house we found Michael Harris and his Executive Assistant Melissa Grose very helpful, efficient and made the whole process straightforward. I would highly recommend them.
Michael and his team were extremely competent, knowledgeable, efficient and friendly.
We were advised of the outcome and prospects very promptly from each open house. Michael was quietly confident and clearly knew his stuff. He always worked to achieve at least our reserve which we stated before even signing up for the campaign. The coordination of work necessary to prepare the unit for sale was extraordinarily efficient. The trades people used were competent and did their respective tasks in a very timely manner. The result was outstanding at $100,000 above our expectation. Would definitely use the team again if selling another property.
We felt well informed and assured
Fuss Free, Great Result. We were extremely happy with Michael and his team throughout the process of selling our house. He made what could have been a very stressful situation relatively straightforward, and – most importantly – achieved the result we wanted.

A great team!
Michael and his team were a pleasure to work with as our house was being sold. Always helpful, responsive and knowledgeable – we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell.
Candour at all times
I am probably not easy to deal with but Raine and Horne Newtown staff from the office to the agents always responded promptly to my queries and “suggestions” and did so with candour at all times. In the end we achieved our objective and in our view the whole process was handled professionally and competently by all in the agency.
We have had the pleasure of both selling and buying our home with Michael and his team.
Through both the selling and buying process Michael has kept us informed, provided credible and honest guidance on property sale expectations and purchase price guides and aided by Michael’s professional and friendly team both the selling and buying processes were made easy.
For all the properties we have bought and sold Michael has made this by far the most drama free experience.
I would most certainly recommend Michael to anyone in this area, I cannot fault his work.
Hard-working, knowledgeable and professional
I would just like to thank Michael and his team for the outstanding service they provided in the sale of my property. Throughout they were professional, courteous and ensured I was kept up to date throughout the whole process. A special thanks to Melissa for arranging trades for the property and liaising with them on my behalf as I was overseas. I was extremely happy with the sale result and think this is testament to the hard work, knowledge and professionalism of the whole team. Thanks again.
Professional and approachable; I didn't hesitate in engaging Michael.
I first met Michael Harris in the purchase of the property almost a decade ago. At the time I found him professional and approachable and unlike other agents in the area. When it came time to sell, I didn’t hesitate in engaging Michael. He did not disappoint! He and his amazing team helped make the process as smooth as possible with excellent ongoing communication. I especially like Michael’s down-to-earth attitude and confidence in his campaign approach. My auction result was outstanding and with a happy vendor and buyer in the end, I can’t ask for more than that!
The Best
Michael Harris and his team on our property, Karen Shepherd and Melissa Grose, were at all times utterly professional, warm and friendly, and completely straightforward. Our property had a ton of extra press and even appeared on the TV. When we needed last minute painters and cleaners Melissa provided immediate contacts and the jobs were done quickly and efficiently. We had met Michael around the place as well as a lot of other agents, and we would not choose anyone else, he is the best.
It was a pleasure to work with Raine & Horne Newtown
Just a quick note to thank you for your professional approach to selling my house at 18 Kingston Rd Camperdown. It was a pleasure to do business with you and your team. I would also like to thank Melissa, Vivienne and Karen who were kind and helpful through the entire process. Thanks to all, from Bernie.

Best agent in Newtown
We have been buyers and sellers in the Newtown/ Enmore market since 2012. Michael Harris is by far the best agent on all counts. He knows the market thoroughly; he has total credibility; he is professional; he is backed by a loyal and smart team; and he follows through and delivers. We are very pleased with the results he obtained for us. Great job!!
A very positive experience
I never realised just how much work actually goes into selling a place. From photo’s to signboard, to website, to open homes to follow up and negotiation with potential buyers, to comprehensive reports on the campaign performance. Michael Harris and his team are extremely professional and make you feel at ease and confident in what would otherwise be very stressful situation. I had a great result and couldn’t be happier – Highly recommended.
Calm, calming and courteous
Michael seems to have an almost supernatural ability to be everywhere at once, whilst at all times remaining calm, calming, courteous and crisp in all his communications. He also happens to be the best dressed realtor in Australia. He and his team were very professional. Together they guided us step by step through what many find a stressful experience in a relaxed way … and somehow in the process managed to get us a price that well exceeded our expectations. We would recommend Michael and his team without reservation for any Inner West sale.
No hesitation in giving complete trust to Michael and his team
Michael Harris of Raine and Horne, Newtown was recommended by friends. At all times before, during and after the sale process we found Michael and his team to be very professional and responsive to us and our potential purchasers. Michael was always very approachable and appeared to have a ‘down to earth’ attitude to the market. We had no hesitation in giving complete trust to him in the whole sale process. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Michael and his team.
Michael and his team did a great job of marketing our property in Camperdown.
At the outset he clearly explained his strategy and made good suggestions for the campaign. We were kept fully informed about progress with regular updates and feedback from potential buyers after each viewing. In this regard we would like to mention Karen Shepherd who did a fantastic job during each viewing and for keeping us up to date during the process. The end result was well beyond our expectations and we are more than satisfied with the sale price that was achieved at auction. We would not hesitate to recommend Newtown Raine & Horne.

Testimonials
Record sale
Michael Harris and his team are prompt, courteous, supportive, helpful and professional. From the very beginning to the end Michael and his team were always there for any questions we had and we had quite a few. Michael clearly communicated the strategy, reflections on strategy as the market reacted, updates on buyers and setting the reserve. Everything was explained clearly and they were never in a rush. The sale price was a record. Michael had us listening in to the auction and our anxiety quickly morphed into excitement and finally absolute joy.
Hats off to Michael and his team!
