A few kind words

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.

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.

Adam’s commitment to my sale, and his never ending effort and drive to achieve the best result, are the reason I am extremely happy with the outcome. Adam was very communicative, keeping me in the loop through the entire process and I really appreciate the outstanding work he has done. I recommend Adam very highly.

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.

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.

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.

Adam seems to know what is to be done and planned well from the beginning. Sorting out between us and the tenants early, and targeting the process & timing correctly. We're very glad that we listened to his advice. The auction went better than we thought.

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.

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.

Adam is a highly professional, reliable, transparent and honest person.

He is trustworthy and truthful in his dealings and has been a great support in my many dealings with him and the agency as a whole.

He is incredibly knowledgeable about the market and is very experienced in selling in fluctuating markets. He has a beautiful manner with owners, tenants and potential buyers. He has been a dream to work with and I would recommend him to anyone wanting to buy or sell or even lease a property.

He is a true professional and I am incredibly grateful for his representation.

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.

I have known the team at Raine & Horne Newtown for 15+ years, firstly as a buyer, then their amazing property management team who look after my properties, and recently as a seller when I decided it was time to reorganise my portfolio.

I couldn’t be happier with the sales process. This was a unique property with several challenging factors presented during a month-long sales campaign, located in a suburb quite a distance away from their familiar base of Newtown. Adam and his team smashed it out of the park in terms of knowledge of the overall suburb and neighbouring properties, marketing, styling, regular open home inspections, liaising with potential purchasers, as well as when the big auction day finally arrived.

The outcome exceeded my expectations in every which way.

At all times during my dealings with Raine & Horne Newtown over the years, the entire team have conducted themselves with the upmost professionalism, integrity, and most importantly always providing their honest expert opinion, rather than only telling me what I’d prefer to hear.

I am grateful for the terrific outcome that Adam and his team managed for me during the sale of this property won’t hesitate to reach out to Raine & Horne Newtown again when I next choose to sell.

We had a great experience working with Michael. He was always responsive to questions, always kept us well informed throughout the selling process and he had an excellent understanding about the market. He never rushed us and provided exceptional support before, during and after the selling process. We enjoyed working with Michael.

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!

Adam was very helpful, he was understanding and the overall experience was great. He made what can be a highly stressful situation very easy and made me feel comfortable throughout the process.

Thank you!

Michael kept us informed and worked hard to find the right buyer for our home. Energetic, engaged and honest. Prior experience with a competing agency in the area was appalling, so we were so glad to have our faith restored. Thank you

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.

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

First met Michael 20yrs ago when we purchased the property. We were very pleased with the result of the recent auction and found Michael very helpful as he provided excellent feedback throughout the process . His experience shows through in the way that he deals with people and we felt confident in his ability to represent us. Thanks for an outstanding result.

Adam completely exceeded my expectations. He is so professional and is very reliable. Not only is he knowledgeable but he spent a lot of his time making sure I was kept up to date and comfortable with the whole process. Really could not recommend more!

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.

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.

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.

I couldn't be happier with the whole process under Michaels guiding hand. He was always available and helped me through every step of the selling process. As a local to Newtown, he was across the history of sales and was able to provide very valuable advice. I'd highly recommend Michael and the team to anyone looking to sell.

Adam completely exceeded my expectations. He is so professional and is very reliable. Not only is he knowledgeable but he spent a lot of his time making sure I was kept up to date and comfortable with the whole process. Really could not recommend more!

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!

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

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.

It was a quick decision to sell and a light reno and furnished presentation was required. Adam and the team behind him arranged it all in good time for the first inspection. The property looked great and achieved a strong result with minimum fuss.

Thank you Adam and your team.

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.

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!

I had the pleasure of working with Adam as my property agent, and I'm thrilled to share my positive experience. Adam's professionalism, dedication, and communication skills truly impressed me throughout the sales process.

Adam's approachable demeanor and reliability immediately established trust. His consistent updates kept me informed at every step, fostering a transparent and comfortable environment. His proactive communication allowed me to seek guidance whenever needed.

What stood out was Adam's commitment to potential buyers. He diligently followed up after showings, showing a genuine interest in understanding their perspectives. This dedication contributed to the overall success of the sale.

During negotiations, Adam's attentive listening and thoughtful advice helped shape my decisions. I'm content with the final sale price, a testament to his and his team's hard work. Without hesitation, I'd choose Adam again for any future sales.

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.

Adam is friendly and keeps regular contact with potential buyers. Adam helped us to make our purchase less stressful and nothing was too much for him. We recommend Adam to anyone looking to purchase a property in the area.

I found Adam to be very approachable. He was friendly, knowledgeable, honest and excellent in his communication throughout the sale process. He took the time to listen to my needs and understand my situation. The strategy he recommended was spot on and he achieved an excellent price. He was calm throughout which helped me immensely as this was the first time I had sold a property. If you’re thinking of selling, do yourself a favour and use Adam. You won’t be disappointed.

We found Adan to act in a professional manner, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Made the difficult process of selling the family home a lot less painful. Adam always kept us informed how the campaign was progressing . He addressed any concerns we had, and we felt reassured with him. We would definitely recommend Adam and we wouldn't hesitate to use Adam again.

Adam made selling as stress free as possible. He has a calm demeanour with excellent communication skills. He kept us informed and pulled his team together to assist when necessary and got us a fantastic result! Highly recommend trusting Adam with your sale!

I have very enjoyable experience with Adam. Adam is professional and very caring about the client. Adam will tailor the selling strategy for each client and I am very satisfied with the service of Adam.

Michael has exceptional service, excellent communication, and his level of professionalism kept us informed throughout the sale of our property. Thanks to his expertise, knowledge of the market, our property sold quickly and at a satisfactory price. We are grateful for Michael's dedication and would confidently choose him again for any future real estate transactions.

Right suggestion at the right time.

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.

I had an exceptional experience with Adam! The service he provided was top-notch, going above and beyond to ensure my needs were met. His communication skills were excellent, keeping me informed throughout the process, and calm as it came down to the wire. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, the sales results exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend working with Adam for an outstanding and rewarding experience.

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.

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

Michael Wyatt provided the outmost assistance to me during the process of selling my home. His expert knowledge of the local market was amazing. His assistance during renovating, marketing and success sale of my property was nothing short of outstanding. He was always available in the event I needed advice and regularly kept me abreast of developments. His communication took much of the stress out of the process of selling my property and I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone looking to sell.

I highly recommend Adam, my husband and I were very happy with the sales experience we had with him, he is easy to work with, honest and always friendly.

He facilitated a fantastic result for us. Thank you Adam!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
