Harcourts Foundation Ever since the Harcourts Foundation was launched in August 2008, Harcourts offices throughout Australia have been raising money to provide support that helps, grows and enriches their communities. Harcourts Foundation has raised over $9 million dollars, for over 1,356 charities since its inception*. We personally donate a portion of our fees to the Harcourts Foundation to continue the great work of Not-for-Profit Charities. This year, Harcourts Adelaide Hills proudly raised $1,200 through the Harcourts Foundation in support of Furever Farm Inc.. Through the participation of team members, family and friends in the 2026 Brooks Adelaide Marathon Festival, these funds will help provide care, rehabilitation and rehoming opportunities for more than 240 vulnerable rescued animals across South Australia, supporting Furever Farm Inc.’s ongoing commitment to giving animals a second chance. We welcome our clients to nominate local charities that could benefit from a Harcourts Foundation Grant. If there is a cause close to your heart, we’d love to hear about it.

A Word From Our Clients “Every aspect, from listing our property to final sale was just incredible. We had a remarkable result in a relatively flat period in the market and I have no doubt most of that result was due to Sam's expertise. The whole team was exceptional from day one. We were over the moon. Thanks again.” Seller in Oakbank

Off Market Why a Quiet Approach is Delivering Strong Results?
Off-market sales aren’t about secrecy - they’re about strategy. Many of our clients are choosing to begin their selling journey off-market, giving a select group of qualified buyers the first opportunity to inspect and offer, before deciding whether to launch a wider public campaign. With our tailored guidance, this approach is delivering outstanding outcomes. This is something we are able to offer with continuous success due to our database of over 70,000 buyers, who are kept regularly informed on off-market opportunities. Many buyers are keen to buy off-market, aiming to snap up properties ahead of the wider market, which frequently results in strong sale prices for our vendors.
