Harcourts Complaints and Disputes Resolution Procedure
Harcourts is committed to handling any complaints or disputes that do arise professionally, fairly and expeditiously. Our standard in-house procedure is outlined below:
- Any client or customer who wishes to make a complaint will be referred to the manager of the relevant office. The manager will acknowledge receipt of the complaint and respond accordingly.
- If the complainant is not satisfied with the response received from the manager they can make a written complaint to Harcourts (the franchisor), preferably using the Harcourts Complaint Form. (See contact details for Harcourts on this page).
- Harcourts will acknowledge receipt of the complaint and commence a review, which if deemed necessary may involve discussion with all relevant parties.
- Harcourts will respond to the complainant upon completion of its review of the complaint.
- If the complainant is dissatisfied with the outcome Harcourts will suggest a further course of action.
Please note: Customers or clients may access the applicable Industry complaints process without first using our in-house procedure; and any use of Harcourts inhouse procedure does not preclude a customer or client from making a complaint to the Industry body.
