Harris Real Estate

Will under quote by 50% - 100% on sale price then immediately try to flog you every service under the sun owned by them like home renovation / cleaning / landscaping at massively inflated prices. The dodgiest of the dodgy looking for a desperate quick sale. There is a reason they dont reveal any of their sale prices on realestate.com.au or domain.… Read more

A couple of open houses then best offer by. Which is like every other lazy dodgy do nothing agent these days. Avoid avoid avoid especially Stirling office.

We have purchased not 1 but 2 lands where Craig from Harris real estate is the agent. They are non transparent folks who do not care for anything but only commsion. Very unthical person is Criag. Stay away from Harris as you will suffer from a bunch of unethical dishonest folks. If there is god and justice for sure , harris and Criag should suffer the worst. Please do not deal with these folks.

Dishonest, loves lying The agent used our offer to seduce offers from other buyers when the contract is almost concluded. Leading to financial and emotional loss. The agent promised us to have an answer for the vendor and to call us before 17:00, but he never called, and of course, he got a higher offer at 18:30 despite our contract being almost… Read more

concluded between lawyers. DO NOT BUY ANY LISTED PROPERTY FROM THEM. Do not believe even a word that the agent says. Their moral bar is too low, and they have no good faith in negotiation. If you want to buy sth from Balmain, find sb else. This one will just let you suffer. I encourage everyone who suffers to file a complaint with the Fair Trade Commission. Even if no one is punished at the moment, at least such behaviour will be exposed to the authority.

Great Service & Result – John Smith and Judy Morris handled the sale of my property. Exceeded all expectations on experience, result and service/communication.

House sold with Simon Welford – Simon is very professional and was always available for any of our questions. We highly recommend him if you are looking at selling your house!

Excellent, Johanna is amazing to deal with – I dealt with Johanna, with Harris prospect and she was great to deal with. She always answered calls or texts quickly and is straight forward,which I like.

Incompetent rental managers – .. the tenants you placed in the rental are still smoking. Please do something to stop it. The very least you can do is reply to one of 4 phone calls, office messages left, and 2 emails.

Terrible Rental Management – Rental Manager took no responsibility for the neglect and damage to my property. In fact she was passive aggressive in her dealings with me and it has cost me $$$ to fix the damage under her supposed watch. I would not recommend them to look after your property.

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE SERVICE – The head of Property Management had a bad attitude / terrible communication skills. Turn over of agents that looked after my property was ridiculous. Clearly something not right with the management if they can not keep a steady agent on board. [Name Removed] by far has to be the worst agent i have ever dealt with. Lacks the ability to… Read more

communicate and keep on top of issues with the property she did managing for me. She held back bills for over 2 months and are now "overdue" which clearly shows lack of care. Ignores emails and phone calls and SMS/Text... So many other issues with her behaviour that there are too many to list here - best just to avoid Harris Realestate altogether. And her promise to help finalise bond payment return "quickly" turned into a 2 month experience... absolute joke... I DO NOT RECOMMEND EVER USING HARRIS REALESTATE

Very bad experience – I had a very bad experience with Harris as my property managers. They don't reply emails on time. They were not successful to find tenants for me and I found myself at last. Property manager was rude and unprofessional.I asked to change the manager but after 2 weeks no one contacted me. It takes several weeks to solve any issues there. I'm not happy at all. I won't renew my contract with them and I won't recommend them at all.

I know houses sell themselves at the moment but – Inspected a house today. Arrived early and saw the agent arrive. She was playing music so loud I think she thought she was still clubbing. Completely disinterested in my questions and interest in the property, feel sorry for the vendors. Seriously just do your job...

Impatient hosting opening – Open till 12:15 and arrive at 12:05. Actually being impatient. No greeting and playing mobile for seconds before a poker face ‘Hi’ Be sure to be right on time :)

Don’t Trish this agent – This agent in Adelaide always list their properties for rent with a low price to attract a lot of inspectors. But this is much lower than their expectations. So you wasted a lot of time in applying and no matter how good you profile are, you get declined because you didn’t place enough bid. Even if you place 20% higher bid they still decline you.… Read more

It’s ok to do auction for sale, but now those agent (especially this one) bring auction to rent. Waste of time!!!

Do NOT recommend – I do NOT recommend buying a house from Marco Fellegvari or selling a house through this agent at Harris Real Estate. He will not respect the laws in regards to tenants rights, he was caught in multiple lies/false pretences about a house he was selling, he will express his unnecessary rude opinions about sellers/buyers/tenants to one another.… Read more

Leaving a very bad taste in people’s mouths. It’s been expressed to me he makes people uncomfortable by doing this but I’m assuming he thinks it’s some sort of strategy while he tries so hard to bond with people to get what he wants then disappear

Excellent – I’ve had my property managed by Prospect for some time, the recent staff change has been refreshing. They have their mobiles available and are happy to answer at all times. A recent maintenance issue due to heavy rains on a weekend was assessed, dealt with no fuss with constant updates so I didn’t have to worry. Thank you Harris Prospect

Harris real estate Prospect Avoid – I rented a property through Harris Real estate in Prospect. It was such a horrible experience that i ended up just selling the place. I had Louie as my property manager. You could never get him to return calls. They charge even for things that they didnt do. The couple of tenants they found where to a very poor standard, always behind in the rent… Read more

and causing damage. But the service was so bad that even the tenants stopped trying to get in contact with them. They ended up just ring me. So many property managers around try to find one that has a mobile instead of having to contact the office all the time.

Excellent service – We chose Harris Real Estate after renting our property with two previous companies that we were less than satisfied with. From the first phone call to Harris Real Estate to rental of our property we found the whole process and presentation extremely professional especially in finding the right tenants. Their service is exemplary and of high standard. I highly recommend Harris Real Estate.

Unprofessional and unorganised agents – I rented a property through Harris and from day one everything has been so unorganised. The first agent I dealt with forgot about my appointment to pick up the keys before work so I arrived at a closed office. I was given the wrong gate keys that didn't fit the lock. Every single inspection I had in the two years I lived there, they either forgot… Read more

the keys or brought the wrong keys. I then had to get a key cut for them because they misplaced the spare set. One occasion they just didn't show up (because they had the wrong key) but they didn't tell me until a month later and tried to reschedule it. The few maintenance requests I had during that time were dealt with promptly so that is one credit to them. However, I am still waiting for my bond refund and it is now a month since I left. Overall I am unhappy with Harris and was regularly frustrated.

No communication – Phoned [Name Removed] re property in Adelaide like most agents didn’t answer his phone left a message and asked to call me, short time later I get a text asking me how he can help me. How bad are agents getting when they can’t talk to you.

Unprofessional – Harris accepted 5% instead of 10% deposit on auction sale of house of my elderly friend, ignored her Power of Attorney and failed to disclose and discuss a 60 day settlement, instead of 45 days. I do not recommend them and be aware that they will behave without care for client.

Insensitive to my dad death – My father died and was pushed to finish settlement no care about my feelings of my dad death cris c,then kept sending letters asking am i selling new house .insensitive

Very Happy – I Bought my property in Warradale through Zac Watts.He was very fair/professional.Very transparent on both sides of the process-great to see a young guy with such a professional/balanced work ethic. I then had the property leased through Livvy and once again they found a tenant quickly and on time despite the restrictions of the… Read more

pandemic.Communication so far has been excellent and look forward to more dealings with a company that I have found to be honourable thus far. Very happy customer. Thanks Jason

The property manager has horrible manner – 1 star is even too good for Harris. As a tenant in a house that was rented with Harris real estate i wouldn't recommend Harris to anyone. The property manager organized regular house inspection. On the day the inspection supposed to happen, he didn't show up. No notice or message anything. I waited for him for 50 mins as I wanted to be there when… Read more

someone's in my house. While I was waiting I messaged and called him multiple times but was ignored. Then out of blue he messaged me another inspection time saying this inspection had to be canceled. No explain or anything. Then I replied him that he should've given me a notice then he said "notice get given when the opportunity arises to give notice". How rude. This property manager with horrible manner wouldn't even apologize properly. Well I guess he's just not property educated in his whole life. How sad. Harris real estate need to educate their employee properly.

Terrible unprofessional agents trying to rip you off !!! – I have been with Harris real estate from 2017 till the end of 2020. I got the property manager David Henry, he was such an amazing a professional easy to work with and fair. However, he left Harris real estate and the 2 property managers i got after that were shocking. Being a single professional woman with no kids or pets , I kept the apartment… Read more

in a tip top condition. However, my last property manager has been as absolute nightmare. For example when I left, I got the property cleaned by professional cleaners even though the South Australian tenancy law does not require you to do so. Property manager Rachael Brown was still trying to rip me off my bond by saying the professional cleaners hasn’t done a good job and she needs them to re clean. She was bringing up silly points like 2 dead bugs in the light globe etc . For the record this apartment was more than 50,60 years old and she was wanting the cleaners to make it look like brand new. I still to re sent the cleaners( as they had a guarantee to re clean if required and get 100% bond back ) but Rachael denied them access and wanted to charge me for another random cleaner from Harris . I called CBS for advise and they said she is 100% in the wrong and said they will help me dispute her demands and wrongful actions. Eventually she realised that she can’t get away with her dodgy acts and released my bond . Not worth the trouble, stay away from them!

Impressive – We were very happy with Harris Real Estate we bought the property from Laura Prest who was always helpful and reliable. She was always willing to assist us with any questions we had.

Second experience with this people, they are the worst!! very rude agents, unfair and no professional! – Stay away from them!! I am looking to buy a house and also renting. so definitely deleting anything from them! They don't reply to rental applications if they don't want you.

Very professional – Kirsty was very professional. On her first visit, she was able to answer all our questions and alleviate any anxiety we may have felt. Importantly ,I did not feel she was reading from a script, she took her time and thought about every question before giving us the answer.She was efficient and prompt with all her correspondence. Would highly recommend Kirsty John

Ethically bankrupt – Harris claim "our agency understands that many people have been affected by job losses, which is creating financial hardship and stress on households". The reality for this single parent with full-time care of two children is a letter threatening eviction, demanding a SACAT tribunal hearing despite my attempts to negotiate a fair and equitable… Read more

settlement. Despite a hearing date being set they continue to spam my email and text demanding payment which further increases an already stressful time. Very disingenuous.

Fantastic – From our first discussions with Daniel Oliver and Millie Campion the approach was highly professional, motivated and focused. Their attention to detail was ever present from the staging of the house through to marketing across all platforms and into the well managed inspections. We were in excellent hands throughout and in the negotiations with our ultimate purchaser which was handled with a keen attention to achieving the outcomes we wanted.

Tenant Perspective: Complete lack of transparency and professionalism! – Just signed a 12 month lease on a +$500 p/w rental property. Upon signing the lease, we were advised verbally that "inspections would be completed quarterly (every 3 months)". That's fine. Pretty standard routine. 2 weeks after moving in, we were advised the first inspection was due in 2 weeks (less than a month after moving in!). Literally 20… Read more

seconds after signing the lease, we were then handed our first water bill which we were then advised needed to be paid in advance!? Absolutely no mention of this before hand or in the rental description other than "tenant to pay all water usage". Also other things like "we aren't allowed to use the central heating" was dropped on us during the signing of the lease (not when we were inspecting the property). So now we are stuck paying a substantial amount of rent for a house in one of the coldest part of the Adelaide Hills with young children with only a split cycle in one small room of the house. Winters going to be fun! Years ago I rented through Harris and it was a terrible experience and I know of others who will also never rent or use their services to rent their properties again. Just take a look at their offices, load of money hungry people!

From owners side Rental Management is horrible and very unfair – We used Harris to manage our property, and as we were going to move into the area only a year later rented it out through them. The tenents moved out this week and we were shocked to find so many issues with keeping the house clean. Everytime there was an inspection we got a report - kept clean and tidy. We have solid wood floorings and the… Read more

entire house was full of scratches, even the front door and porch area was not cleaned. The garden and plants were totally killed virtually mean that. The tenants even dented the fence while moving out and didn't bother to inform us. Harris charging 9.5% for the rental maintenance and doing nothing to look after, I would never ever deal with them for anything buying, selling, renting anything, I would want to give they negative ranking if it is available here.

From a very unhappy client

From a Renter's Perspective – I would describe the customer service delivered by Harris Real Estate to be very poor and it seems as thought they rely on an automated emailing and sms system to do the actual work of customer communication for them. On several occasions we were sent generic urgent and threatening rent reminders that were non-applicable to us and simply caused… Read more

concern and confusion. There was also a rental inspection planned a week before the lease terminated. They were impossible to reach in terms of maintenance and repair issues and the end of lease inspection became stressful as they waited three weeks to conclude the inspection. Very Disappointing

House sale – Harris Real Estate recently sold my house in the Magill area. Scott Moon and his team were brilliant. The sale was swift, well organised and financial result excellent. At all times I was kept informed of progress and if I had questions they were answered promptly. I highly recommend this team to anyone considering selling or buying. I would definitely use them for any future real estate dealings.
