The Harris Difference

An award-winning, progressive agency putting customers and their property first

You don’t become South Australia’s largest independent real estate agency by chance; a respected, innovative agency spanning seven boutique local offices with unrivalled coverage across the state and its stunning peninsulas.

Harris Real Estate is a proud local success story.

Your success stems from a line-up of high-performing Harris professionals with the passion, market insight, and discipline to list, sell, lease, and manage your property like no other agency in Australia. Whatever social media or marketing strategy you choose, in any budget, your property’s online momentum is spurred by our talented in-house team of marketing specialists.

As industry leaders, we aim to surpass – not simply meet – the needs of the modern consumer. Our advanced digital platform leads the nation in automated real estate technology, meaning more face-to-face client engagement to improve our world class service standards.

Wherever you’re based – from the metro area to the Adelaide Hills, the Copper Coast, Eyre Peninsula or Yorke Peninsula – Harris has an agent, ready to talk property with you.
