Selling in the Illawarra

Local agents who actually get results

We've been selling homes across Dapto, Albion Park and Shellharbour for over 50 years. Owners come back to us, and send their family and neighbours our way, because we know what local buyers will pay and we give you the straight story from the first chat to the last signature.

  • Genuinely local

    We live here, sell here, and know every street between the escarpment and the coast. We know what local buyers will actually pay for a home like yours.

  • Straight talk

    You'll get the real read on your home and the market, even when it isn't what you were hoping to hear. No sign-up spin, no surprises later.

  • Proof, not promises

    Hundreds of local families have moved on with us, and we'll show you the campaign behind every sale before you sign a thing.

Selling your property which has been your home for the past 3 decades can be difficult and daunting. Michael made it easy for us and guided us along the way. He gave us realistic expectations about the possible outcome. We were pleasantly surprised at the speed, professionalism and friendly approach. The result was a price that exceeded our expectation and attracted the right buyers.

What we stand for

Five things we don't budge on

They're the Harcourts values — here's what they actually mean when you're selling with us.

People first

Your home, your goals, your timeline. Everything else comes second.

Doing the right thing

We tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.

Being courageous

We'll have the harder conversation if it gets you a better result.

Fun and laughter

Selling is stressful enough. We keep it good-humoured the whole way.

Gratitude

We never take for granted that you've trusted us with your biggest asset.

Jarath helped us with tradesmen to help prepare the property for sale. His assistance and knowledge of the market helped us to gain a price we were extremely happy with. His attention to detail and communication throughout the entire process was outstanding.
Lynette Foran · Dapto with Jarath Moss
★★★★★
Friendly and accommodating. We met Jarath from Harcourt when we inspected the Calderwood house. Jarath was friendly and sincere at our first meeting and we felt that we could really trust him. Whilst he was very knowledgeable about the property I asked a number of technical questions and he did not pretend to know all the answers but did get me answers to all my questions within a short period. Through a number of inspections and the negotiation and sale process we came to know Jarath personally and were impressed with his openness and sincerity. Jarath is a fine young man and it was a pleasure dealing with him on this purchase, nothing was too much trouble and he made the process simple and enjoyable.

Jarath takes the work out of selling a property, making the process easy to navigate and keeping you informed throughout the whole process. This is my second time selling a property with Jarath and I would happily keep coming back to Jarath for future sales.

I had a wonderful experience working with Cassandra Koloski from Harcourts Dapto as my property manager. She was knowledgeable, attentive to detail, and highly professional throughout the entire leasing process. Her communication was clear and timely, and she made everything seamless and stress-free. I truly appreciated her expertise and dedication, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and capable property manager.
