About Maria
She didn't just cover Melbourne's prestige market. She helped define how it was written about.
Maria Harris spent seven years as the founding property editor of The Weekly Review — the publication that became Domain. Week after week, she was the writer vendors trusted to tell the story of their home to Melbourne's most discerning buyers.
She left in 2017 to work directly with agents and vendors — and hasn't looked back.
More than 3,000 homes later, she still approaches every property the same way: she visits in person, she listens, and she looks for the detail that no floor plan can capture. The light in the kitchen at 4pm. The way the garden draws the eye from the dining room. The story behind the renovation.
Then she writes — copy that finds the buyers who belong there.

My approach
-
01 Visit the property
Maria visits the property in person. She talks to you, walks the rooms, takes in the light, the layout, the details that make this home unlike any other.
-
02 Find the story
Every home has one. The architectural detail that stops you in the doorway. The garden that took 20 years to grow. The location that puts everything within reach. Maria finds it and then builds your copy around it.
-
03 Get results
Sharp, emotionally resonant content ready to publish. Copy that makes the right buyer feel something, and make an offer.
