Simon and Thomas helped us narrow our search from a wide brief, find a fantastic family home quickly and help us secure it. The experience was faster and better than working without advice - they are well networked and excellent negotiators who represented our interests well. We recommend their service without hesitation.
LJ · 2 months agoBuying a property without an agent is like showing up to a gun fight with a water pistol, it just doesn't make any sense, especially in the highly competitive Sydney market. Julie and the Cohen Handler team are highly talented professionals who can level the playing field on the buyer side and help to ensure you get the best outcome possible in your property search. I couldn't recommend this amazing service more!
Matt Haakinson · 2 months agoSimon and Bel are a godsend. Prior to engaging Cohen Handler’s services, we had been searching for a property in Sydney’s east for more than six months without success. We were unsure about the benefit cost ratio of contracting a buyer’s agent, and falsely believed the concept to be more a luxury than a necessity. We were happy to be proven very wrong. From the first meeting Simon and Bel were proactive, warm, and highly accessible. Responses were swift if not immediate, no matter the hour (or the timezone). In the weeks that followed, many suitable off and pre market properties were efficiently sourced and inspected, and for each property Bel would serve us nuanced, unbiased intel on a silver platter, saving us time and bandwidth, and indeed saving our sanity. When the time came to make offers, Simon was a consistent voice of reason and wisdom, curbing our temptations to overpay. He shielded us during the brutal negotiation process, but also involved us at every turn and pivot, ultimately empowering us and giving us complete ownership of all decisions. We secured the perfect property for our needs well within budget. We could not have done it with such ease and momentum without Simon and Bel. Never in our combined property purchasing history have we experienced this kind of advocacy, support, and safety. Call them, it’s a no brainer.
Dianna Li · 7 months agoWe recently engaged Cohen Handler (Marcus) to assist with the purchase of a property and was thoroughly impressed with Marcus and Doron's professionalism and expertise. From the outset, they focused only on properties that met our requirements and stayed within our budget. Their market insight and network allowed them to source an off-market property perfectly located in our preferred area. The team did an exceptional job managing and executing the off-market transaction efficiently and seamlessly. I would highly recommend Marcus / Cohen handler to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and results-driven buyers agency. Extremely helpful throughout the whole process.
Daniel Ezekiel · 6 months agoI could not have expected a better outcome. Having not had the time to explore a complete number of options, I was comforted by the customer service I received from Thomas. It appears that the market to satisfy my requirements had been thoroughly researched in a very short time span, a satisfactory and realistic price submitted and acceptance prior to auction which was welcomed by this interstate purchaser.
