I read the reviews and I chose Jo - best decision ever! She had the wonderful mix of all the qualities I wanted for selling my house...patient, professional, kind, knowledgeable and the all important positivity coupled with a lovely sense of humour, keeping everything in perspective. Whatever I needed, she had the solution with prompt, seamless communication and the determination to get my house sold for the best possible price in a very tricky market. Forever grateful Jo, for your incredible support, encouragement and a great result.
Myself and my husband were exhausted going to open homes all weekend, every weekend, the last of which we met Jo. She went out of her way to reach out and offer to help us find our first home. We had a listing on our watchlist which was by viewing only and Jo managed to get us in right away! She could tell we loved it and she went above and beyond to negotiate the price within our budget and had everything organised and ready for us to go unconditional in less than a week. It was truly an amazing service and we don't think we would be in the same position without her! So happy with our home and can see ourselves here for a very long time, thank you Jo!
Jo was definitely the right person to sell our house. Right from the start, we were impressed by Jo's energy and positivity, backed up by her knowledge and professionalism. Communication from Jo was excellent (phone calls and emails) throughout the process of selling our house, and we were pleased with all the advice we received about how to sell, open homes etc. We had an issue that needed to be addressed during the selling of our house and Jo went above and beyond to help us sort it out. We cannot rate Jo highly enough and absolutely recommend her to anyone thinking of selling their house.
We had a wonderful experience with Jo selling our home. She was incredibly bubbly, professional, knowledgeable and had excellent insight into the local market. Her communication was top-notch; she kept us informed every step of the way and responded quickly to our questions without hesitation. Even going the extra mile to organise home staging, maintenance jobs and private viewings. We can't thank her enough and highly recommend Jo to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
Jo kept us informed every step of the way and went above and beyond when it came to selling our property. She totally exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend her to sell any property.
This is the second time Jo has helped me with a sale and purchase and I would definitely engage her again! Jo is professional, hard working and thorough from start to finish, with an eye for detail and what makes a difference. Highly recommend Jo
We couldn't imagine selling our house without Jo! Her passion, professionalism, and expertise in the real estate industry were evident throughout the entire process.

She orchestrated everything seamlessly and achieved a highly satisfactory price for us. With Jo at the helm, we felt confident and informed every step of the way. She laid out a clear timeline and plan from our very first meeting and kept us updated with detailed reports and excellent communication.

We recently purchased a house that Jo was listing and have been extremely impressed with her as an agent. She helped us through the whole process, was timely with her responses to questions and very accommodating to us as we were buying from overseas. I highly recommend her and she will be the first person we call if we decide to sell in the future!
I have no hesitation in recommending Jo to help you through the sale process of your home. Jo is friendly, reliable, professional and always makes herself available. She goes the extra mile with help in finding stager, cleaners and other trades people to help get you ready for marketing. At auction she was able to gain me a great price on my house which was above my expectations. Thank you Jo and good luck on your future sales.
We listed our home with Jo, and from the start we found that her communication, advice, proactivity and service was fantastic. Through the marketing, open homes, liaising with building inspectors, prospective buyers, other agents, all the way through to the auction itself we always felt Jo had our best interests in mind and kept us informed. We have been delighted with the process and result, and would have no hesitation recommending Jo to anyone looking to sell or buy.
A slightly different review in the fact that I am not only the vendor but also a colleague as I am an auctioneer and therefore had the choice of literally hundreds of agents with whom I have worked for over 17 years, not an easy choice. I chose Jo for her passion for real estate, and having observed her interact with vendors and buyers, I felt she was the right choice. I wasn't disappointed; Jo covered every aspect of the sale meticulously: photography, staging, advertising, social media, open homes, reporting....everything. I basically just walked out and left her to it. Jo then sold my home at a very satisfactory price in a difficult market. There is no hesitation in recommending Jo to sellers as a great agent.
We contacted Jo at the end of December and said we would like to find our perfect family home in January, to ideally move in so the children could settle at a new school in Term One. Jo listened to our requirements and delivered! We have moved in and are thrilled with our new home. Jo is professional, passionate and has an eye for detail. A pleasure to work with! Highly recommend Jo if you're buying or selling.
Jo took the stress out of selling, providing help with tradesmen, selling unwanted items, and preparing the house for sale. Nothing was too much trouble, and she was always ready to go the extra mile. I can't speak highly enough of Jo's professionalism, enthusiasm, energy and ability, all culminating in a great result.
I had the situation where I needed to sell my property before I could purchase another, stress levels were high and I could not of achieved this without Jo. I had dealt with many agents prior to meeting Jo and Jo was the only one who gave me the time and confidence that we could achieve my dream. Jo worked hard for me and kept me updated every step of the way. Thank you Jo! Lets do this again soon :)
We just bought our first home in Hatfields Beach through Jo Harwood. She was instrumental in the negotiations between vendor and buyer .. honest, upfront and completely passionate about making it all work. In my experience if you don't have these kind of incredible people around you connecting the dots and pushing things along, your experience can be a very different one. Highly recommend Jo!
