A few kind words

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. `

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Michael and his entire team were absolutely brilliant. We sincerely appreciated Michael’s expertise and honest communication. He came to us highly recommended and he did not disappoint. The entire team were a pleasure to work with. Their professional, informative and warm approach is what sets them apart. They achieved great results for us and we are eternally grateful.

Michael sold us our family home and we had such a positive experience as buyers that he was the first person we thought of when we wanted to sell.

Michael has built an excellent team around him that allows him to focus on getting the best price possible.

He is honest and reliable in an industry where that can be rare.

Thank you for all you help in the process Michael.

I was delighted with Michael's services - he was an exceptional communicator, flexible and accommodating. He provided wise advice and conducted the sales process with integrity for all parties.

Michael Harris is an excellent salesman, communicator and a true professional. He gave us a realistic appraisal for my unit in the current market, listened carefully to my thoughts, wishes and concerns, and then worked tirelessly to achieve a great price. He contacted me regularly with clear updates after each inspection and to clear up any questions from buyers, followed by a written weekly summary.

Michael and his team were friendly and efficient and went above and beyond to organise any trade or service required such as styling, building inspections etc and to answer my many questions. I didn’t have to worry about anything. They guided me at every step.

On the day of the auction he was calm, realistic and reassuring. I felt very confident he was working as hard as he could to achieve the best price but always in an ethical manner.

He is an outstanding real estate agent!

Michael and his Team did an excellent job in managing the sale of my property in Sydney, while I was based in Europe. They managed the preparation for sale ie quotes re painting, gardening, cleaning, styling etc seamlessly. From the moment the sale/marketing campaign commenced, Michael was committed to ensuring each interested party was followed up, a detailed report was provided to me after each open day, followed by phone calls to discuss next steps etc. In summary nothing was too much trouble, there were no red flags throughout the entire process and I was constantly updated with progress reports etc. I would have no problem recommending Michael and his Team.

Selling your home is always an emotional journey, but in our case it was a home that had been in our family for over 300 years. Michael and his team were exceptional in their understanding and achieved an amazing result in a really tough market. Michael is an absolute professional, extremely experienced and works hard for his clients. His communication was second to none and we were informed right through the campaign. I always felt we were in good hands! Michael is backed by a great team of Viv and Joanna. I would urge you to speak to these guys for any sale or purchase - they are the definitely the A TEAM!

Michael Harris has worked in our area for many years so his knowledge of the local market was invaluable. At all times throughout our campaign Michael guided us calmly, his communication with us was thorough, and by we felt we were in good hands. We successfully sold our property and are very pleased to recommend Michael Harris and his team.

Michael gave me guidance and sound advice regarding preparing the property for sale and referred me to appropriate tradesmen who were courteous prompt and their workmanship was very good.

Michael’s support team were polite helpful prompt and efficient.

Michael provided prompt and regular reporta and advice during the campaign. His service and assistance was outstanding.

Michael and team were professional and efficient and kept us informed through the whole process.

Michael and team were an absolute pleasure to work with during the sale of my property, with such extensive knowledge and experience, dedication and constant communication and support. Warm and friendly personalities made the process smooth! I'm very grateful.

Kind Regards,

Michael and his team were able to assist with organising trades persons to help get the house ready for sale which was a life saver given I didn't live in Sydney.

He was always willing to discuss any questions or doubts and offered speaking to other family members as needed.

This was an emotional sale and I could not have imagine being supported and held through the process more gently and clearly.

Thanks Michael.

Michael & his team including Viv, did an amazing job helping us sell our property. Michael gave us updates every few days so we were always in the loop even though we leave out of State. We valued his advice in the current market. Viv in the office was lovely too, she always followed up an email with a call so we knew we needed to action something. Overall a very positive experience.

It is with great pleasure that I write this review regarding Mr Michael Harris of Raine & Horne, Newtown.

Throughout our sales campaign, Michael kept us up-to-date every step of the way with his detailed and thorough reports regarding potential buyers. Michael's professionalism and his ability to steer us though our sales campaign was clearly evident through his deep knowledge of Stanmore, Newtown and surrounding areas over many years, his integrity and his innate ability to identify not only our expectations, but also the requirements of the potential buyers who filed through our home. Michael was always available to discuss in depth any aspects of our sales campaign. We indeed hold Michael in high regard.

Selling your home can be a stressful and difficult time, but our experience was made easy by Michael and his professional team who uphold the high standards we all value.

Michael and his team did a very thorough job. Good communicator and good advisor... worked tirelessly to understand the market and buyers. Thank you

Michael kept me up to date with the sales campaign and his understanding of the market was spot on. He was available to answer any questions at all times and was able to complete tasks that needed doing without drama and on time. He and his team were understanding ,knowledgeable, informative, efficient and prompt in all aspects of our working relationship from sales campaign to auction. I would recommend Michael and his team for any real estate dealings.

Michael and his team instill a high level of trust and integrity in the client relationship. This is the second property that Michael has sold for me and on both occasions he and his team demonstrated excellent market knowledge and professional acumen and kept me completely informed throughout the entire process. Thanks very much Michael.

Michael took the selling of our home in Newtown very seriously and went all out to get a good result despite a softening market.

He is completely reliable, diligent and has a large data base which he works constantly.

Michael is very responsive to client contact and feedback after open house inspections.

We did not realise the attention we would receive following the listing of our property. Michael and his team attended to all the organising which was important as we live in the country and more importantly promptly sorted out any issues, even to inspecting the property following professional cleaning to ensure it was up to standard. Michael informed us following each inspection and followed up interested purchasers and where possible arranged for buyer registration before the day. His assessment of expected price was good and he thoroughly discussed all aspects of concern. To Michael, Vivienne and Duncan many thanks for first class attention.

Selling our investment property with Michael and his team was stress-free. We easily decided on the necessary work required prior to sale and his tradespeople were professional and prompt in getting the property looking good. Communication was straightforward and easy. And we got the price we wanted.
