A few kind words

I have bought from Michael, and sold with Michael over 20 years. His knowledge and history in the Newtown area is unparalleled, and I have always appreciated his straight shooting.

Duncan informed us every step of the way in the selling process great communication.

A very smooth, stress free experience from Michael and his team. Thank you everyone!

Adam sold my unit in Redfern. Together with Vivienne and Joanna they collected data documents and marketed the unit diligently. Adam suggested staging for buyer attraction and feeling, and made me tear-up when I saw the unit all dressed up. Adam created leads and followed them up diligently, and briefed me with every open house and enquiries/offers, giving me a sense of being in the sale, and so I can make appropriate and proactive decisions. Adam considered all the challenges with selling the unit, and there were a couple of standout doozies with this one, nothing to do with the unit though, and negotiated with the buyer for these. Adam followed up offers and counter offers before the auction, maximising the sale price right up to the eve of the auction. Adam is so professional, he opened up for the buyers before the sale, and settlement, and for me for a final clean before settlement, something an agent is obliged to do, but I know some do not. He was “in there” for the whole “9 yards”. I picked Adam for this sale as I saw Adam do this for other sales.

Thank you Adam, Joanna and Vivienne.

Adam has been very professional since day one and it only took two weeks to sell the unit.

I recommend Adam for any sale and thank you Adam.

I cannot recommend Duncan Gordon enough for his outstanding service as our chief real estate agent. From the beginning, Duncan demonstrated a level of professionalism, tactfulness and resourcefulness that truly set him apart.

Duncan was incredibly kind and supportive throughout the selling process. He provided valuable ideas and insights that greatly contributed to presenting our home in the best possible light. Additionally, Duncan went above and beyond by coordinating workmen to tidy up our large garden before the open house day. His commitment to ensuring everything was perfect did not go unnoticed. He also made numerous phone calls to promote our house, which significantly increased its visibility. Finally, on the day of auction/sale, Duncan untiringly negotiated on our behalf and offered us sound advice.

We are deeply grateful for Duncan's dedication and hard work in helping us sell our home. Thank you, Duncan, for making this experience as smooth and successful as possible!

From our first meeting, Adam’s professionalism and approachable nature stood out. Selling a property can be an emotional process, but Adam made it smooth and stress-free. His expertise, clear communication, and passion were evident every step of the way.

Adam kept us informed with timely updates and realistic insights into the market, always balancing positivity with honesty. This transparency built trust and reassured us that we were in the best hands.

The campaign was executed flawlessly. Adam’s marketing strategy—professional photography, compelling copy, and targeted advertising—showcased our property beautifully and attracted serious buyers. His attention to detail and use of online platforms generated significant interest and numerous enquiries.

Auction day, often the most stressful part of selling, was handled with precision. Adam’s confidence, calm demeanour, and strategic thinking ensured a competitive environment, leading to an incredible result. His ability to read buyers and guide the process was truly impressive.

We were thrilled with the final sales price, which exceeded our expectations. Adam celebrated the result with us, and his genuine pride in achieving the best outcome was heart warming.

If you’re selling your property, Adam is the agent you want by your side. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication to his clients make him an outstanding choice. Thank you, Adam, for your incredible support and for helping us achieve such a fantastic result!

Duncan was very pro active and professional. Proceeded every step of the way giving us clarity and closed the deal efficiently.

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!

Duncan is an excellent agent. His market knowledge, frank and frequent feedback takes a lot of the guesswork out of selling a property. He works hard, people enjoy dealing with him. Highly recommended.

I was overseas for the whole process of selling my apartment in Glebe, NSW. After reading reviews online and investigating real estate agencies that service Glebe I asked a couple of real estate agents to visit and provide a proposal. Duncan stood out:

For his attention to detail in assessing what needed to be done to give the apartment its best chance.

His marketing proposal was all about the apartment.

He was very responsive and kept me informed regularly.

His team were equally skilled and responsive.

Duncan and his amazing team are professional, well organised, patient and exceptional communicators.

I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Living interstate meant that Duncan and his team managed the preparation and sale of my property. They coordinated a range of tradesmen even before the painter, stylist and photographer. While everything took longer than anticipated, the final result was a good sale and a short settlement period. As an unsure vendor and not being on site, I appreciated the care and communication Duncan and his staff maintained with me throughout the preparation and the campaign.

Thank you Raine & Horne Newtown.

Adam is a professional agent, he knows the buyers and seller expectations, makes magical equations happening to both parties with a good outcome. He kept us updated and communicated constantly, making the process smoother. His dedication is impressive, working tirelessly around the clock to ensure his clients are well taken care of.

I've known Duncan and used him as an agent since 2012. He has always been fair, informed and professional in all my dealings with him. I've had excellent sales results too thanks to his persistence and retail acumen. Highly recommended agent.

This is the second property that Duncan has sold for me, and Duncan actually sold this property to me 11 years ago!!

He managed everything to do with the sale, and gave me tips on the best way to present the property, and organised all the trades to complete the work.

Duncan has a deep knowledge of local market values and sales activity, so he communicated buyer feedback to me with clarity and confidence, even though it wasn't always what I wanted to hear.

The three most important reasons why I am so happy that I asked Duncan to sell this property for me are experience, trust, and friendliness. Duncan is a genuinely nice bloke, and that matters a lot during such a stressful transaction. In the many phonecalls we had during the sale period, he always took the time to walk me through what was happening, and what might happen next.

I am very relieved that my property was successfully sold, and I am very happy for the young couple who bought it. They are going to love living in vibrant Erskineville.

I think this was a Win/Win transaction.

Thank you Duncan.

Adam is a straightforward and likable agent. He has done everything he reasonably and honestly can to make us comfortable and well informed during the selling process and to achieve the best possible result.

Michael was very professional throughout the sales process, offering reliable assistance to us on both the important matters and the small details that others might overlook. We are very grateful for everything he did for us in creating a successful sales outcome.

Michael delivered a great result for us. He was a pleasure to work with throughout the sales process providing excellent communication, and listening to us every step of the way. Michael is very knowledgeable, masterfully building demand within the market towards the auction. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Duncan and his team were fantastic throughout the process. Their patience and understanding were invaluable, given it took us over a year to finally put our house on the market…

He provided valuable advice and guidance through the process.

The house goes now to a beautiful family- great outcome for everyone-thank you.

This is the second time we’ve had the pleasure of working with Duncan, first as a buyer and now as a seller and we can’t speak more highly of his work.

An all round great experience.

I’m happy to send my thanks to Michael Harris and his team.

They did a fine job in deteriorating circumstances.

Michael kept me informed of progress all the way.

This made the process a lot easier and less stressful for me.

Thank you!

Adam has sold our Sydney apartment with ease. He listened to what we wanted and achieved what we wanted within a timeframe that has exceeded our expectations.

Extremely happy with his professionalism, knowledge of the local market and his general professional and kind nature.

Thanks to Michael’s team approachable and great teamwork.

Michael sold our property in Aug 31 and we can not praise him highly enough, throughout the whole campaign, Michael provided us with honest, timely and accurate updates, including:

• A realistic market value appraisal

• Honest and insightful advice on what needed to be done to maximise our home’s value.

• At a critical moment, we had about a prospective buyer, countless phone calls communicated between parties head to contract exchange.

I should also mention that our decision to choose Michael and his great team are a right choice. We will work with Michael again soon.

Overall, I would wholeheartedly recommend Michael without hesitation, and wish to thank him and his team for a great result in what was an uncertain market.

We listed our apartment with Adam and his team as they had been managing the rental for a number of years. A difficult sale that was managed professionally and transparently throughout. I am very happy with the result.

Duncan was a pleasure to work with. His knowledge and experience of the market was invaluable as were his contacts in getting what work was needed completed to maximise the property's potential and realising the result we wanted. He always had time to answer questions, give advice and work with us. Highly recommend.

Michael has had a great deal of experience in the area, right from his 1st presentation, we were confident with his knowledge in the area and he has good track record to show it. He was polite, punctual & professional on all occasions. His support team followed up everything promptly. He did everything he promised to do and kept us well informed throughout the entire process. He was committed to selling our property and took every necessary step to do so . He provided details of every enquiry in regular telephone and email reports after every open house. Very happy with his service.

We were extremely impressed and appreciative of the professionalism that Duncan showed us during our sale process. We were kept informed all the way and the sale proceeded in a time frame better than we expected.

Michael and his team were a pleasure to deal with. The entire process was very smooth and we trusted Michael to take the lead on the sales process and followed his valuable advice. Highly recommended.

We delayed selling our property, concerned about how stressful the process would be. How wrong we were - Adam and his team were incredible. They ensured a seamless and efficient sale, with excellent communication throughout and achieving an excellent sale result. I honestly could not rate them more highly.

This is the first time I have sold a property. I was quite apprehensive about the whole process. Duncan was totally professional, giving excellent advice and guiding me through the process. He worked tirelessly , as did his whole team to ensure a smooth transaction. I have no hesitation in recommending him to any person considering selling their house.

Duncan had an extraordinary knowledge of the prevailing market and the marketing campaign his people ran was so very professional with no detail left undone. His communication personally with me was faultless through every step of the sale process.

I highly recommend this first-rate real estate agent Michael Harris Raine & Horne Newtown to sell an investment or family home in the Inner West Sydney! Michael and his team completed an outstanding job selling my property. Their professionalism, organization skills, and expertise made the entire process smooth and successful.

I have known Michael for nearly twenty years, and he is always my first call on any matters relating to real estate in Sydney. Why? He is professional, excellent industry knowledge and delivers results. He is also an all-round great person to deal with.

The service that I received from the marketing through to final sale which was achieved two weeks before the auction date was excellent .I was constantly kept up to date with all inspection feedback which helped me immensely to make the right decision when a offer was submitted. The final sale price exceeded our original expectations and could not be any happier.

From start to finish Duncan made the whole sale process smooth and stress free.

Working with Michael from Raine and Horne was the best decision I have ever made. I could not have gone through the selling process without him and his incredible team.

The sale of the property was not easy, with a few last-minute hurdles to overcome, Michael was able to quickly adapt and provide solutions.

Communication and support throughout the entire process was unmatched.

Thank you again for a great result.

Our sincere thanks to Duncan Gordon for handling the sale of our Glebe property with such professionalism. We achieved a great result with no stress, with Duncan and his team guiding us confidently through the whole process. We are happy to know that the apartment will have a new chapter with a new family. We can recommend Duncan Gordon, and the whole team at Raine and Horne Newtown, with absolute confidence.

Very professionally organised sale of our property with an excellent time line and outcome. We live interstate & Michael and the team communicated brilliantly & problem solved issues exceptionally well.

Michael Harris was 100% professional on every level & I found him to be an exceptional Real Estate Agent. He, and his team at Raine & Horne Newtown, are to be commended for their prompt, courteous & compassionate service during the sales process & follow up. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone who needs a sales agent. THANK YOU for everything during this unique sales situation, it was a pleasure to deal with you and your Team. Well done, much appreciated.

In short, Adam and Duncan from Raine & Horne Newton exceeded every expectation. I had not sold many properties in the past and I was a little concerned as I really needed to maximise the sale price. Adam took the time to put my mind at ease and carefully explained each step in the process of the sales campaign. The plan was to sell my property at auction, but their methodical sales campaign generated great interest from the get go and they were able to sell the property without going to auction and for a price that also exceeded my expectation.

Big thanks to Adam and Duncan, I highly recommend them to anyone needing to sell their property!

Duncan was the first realtor I met with when it came time to sell the family home. Having met with others afterwards, I went with my gut-feeling, which I'd had from the outset - that Duncan was the right individual for the task. I am so glad that I did. Duncan and his team were very on top of the whole process, which for me was daunting and emotional. The professionalism and the caring manner in which every single aspect of the experience was attended to was very welcome. The personable sales team, with main communication being with Duncan himself was first rate and helped ease the anxiety that came with the responsibility that I was tasked with. Never once did I feel pressured, instead the experience and the market knowledge that Duncan brought to the table, the 'hand-holding' (so to speak) in guiding me through the journey of selling the family home, and the wisdom and sage advice translated to a wonderful result - a quick sale at a fantastic price. I can't thank Duncan and his team enough, his kindness, competence and expertise are intensely appreciated.

Duncan gave us a very accurate estimated sale value at the start of our selling journey. Communication was open and fast throughout the whole process, both over the phone and via email.

He has very good knowledge of the local and broader market, and was able to secure us a great sale result before auction.

Overall, he made the experience as seamless as possible.

Duncan is very experienced and very professional and it was a pleasure dealing with him and his team. His market knowledge was accurate and his execution of the sales campaign was perfect, the outcome exceeded our expectation. We highly recommend his service.

Michael is professional, engaging and trustworthy. I am so glad he was involved in the sale of my property and he helped make a fraught process easy. I would recommend him to anyone wanting to sell their home.

After 30 wonderful years in Newtown the time came to sell my home. I have known Michael for many years after meeting at open homes in the area. We would stop and chat on the street and I was always impressed with his up to date knowledge of the market and his no nonsense approach.

I considered other agents but after talking with him about my property it was an easy decision to proceed with Michael. I wanted an off market sale and this was agreed then a buyer was found and the agreed price achieved after two days on the market. I was very happy with the result.

Michael talked me through the whole process and was available for questions at any time in the preparation for sale.

I thank him and the team at Raine and Horne Newtown for their professional handling of the sale of my home and would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Michael was easy to deal with and his team, in particular Vivian were exceptional.

He gave a realistic price guide and worked hard to achieve this.

Michael was always available to communicate with me and we received the best result on the sale of our property.

Duncan is very easy to deal with and was especially helpful in getting my house ready for sale. He is a dedicated and skilled negotiator who succeeded in getting a good price for our house which sold before auction in a relatively quiet market. We are more than happy with the result and can recommend Duncan as a dedicated agent who is a great communicator and will ensure that you get the best outcome possible.

So very pleased with our selling agent Michael Harris from Raine & Horne Newtown. We have had a wonderful relationship with this agency for many years as they managed our property, and when the time came to sell this long-held property, we had no qualms about staying with the same agency to look after us.

Michael came with years of experience and an intricate knowledge of the area. From our very first conversation, I felt at ease with the selling process and approach. Michael and his team including Vivienne Rockwell and Joanna Camarda provided exceptional communication and guidance through the whole process. They were always available to take my queries and were open to feedback. They also work quickly and very efficiently. A thoroughly professional group of people and I could not have asked for a better agent and sales team to help me on this journey.

Thank you so much Michael, and a big thank you to your wonderful team

Adam is a fantastic agent who goes above and beyond what is expected of him. The price achieved for my property was most favourable. Would sincerely trust Adam with the sale of any property.

Michael Harris is a total professional. He is honest, authentic and with you on the journey. He makes a fraught process so much easier. I would definitely use Michael’s expertise and experience again.

I approached Adam Freitas at Raine & Horne Newtown to sell my investment property and I cannot recommend this agent enough. I purchased my 2 bedroom 2 bathroom Gibbons Street Redfern apartment in 2007 for just over $400k and my property sold at auction on Saturday for $1,362,000.00 (ie the record highest sale price in my building). Adam was a consummate professional, he formulated a solid sales strategy, the marketing campaign was flawless, the whole sale process was easy and I was kept up to date with all sales activity. If you're looking to sell your property and you want to obtain the best possible result- then you need to appoint Adam as your sales agent.

Michael was very helpful even leading up to the listing, with handy local market knowledge.

Very professional throughout the process, providing updates and generally being available for chats and updates as needed.

Michael and his team were very easy to deal with, proactive in their service and felt honest and open with their communication.

I appreciated having their help throughout the selling process.

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.

We were very happy with the way that Adam handled the sale of our apartment.

Adam responded and professionally to all queries during the sale process and demonstrated an excellent understanding of the local market.

We would highly recommend him and his team to any vendor.

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!

Adam and his team were amazing! He sold our investment property in Chippendale pre auction for more than we were expecting. We have the added complexity of living overseas but the process and proactive communication from Adam and his team were perfect. We couldn’t be more pleased with the result. Thank you Adam!

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.

Adam was calm and confident in getting the price I had in mind. He communicated very well especially throughout negotiations. Very easy process. Highly recommend Adam.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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