A word from our founder
Everyone deserves to have a Cohen Handler Buyers Agent by their side when purchasing property.
When I founded Cohen Handler in 2009, property buyers were unprepresented in real estate transactions. Today, Cohen Handler has helped our clients purchase more than $13 billion worth of property around Australia. We have purchased property at all price points - from $300k, through to more than $80 million.
My favourite Cohen Handler company value is "More". We aim to do more for our clients than anyone else. More inspections, make more calls, find more off-markets, and do whatever it takes to secure the right property at the right price.
We look forward to helping you with your property search.
Simon Cohen, Founder and CEO, Cohen Handler

Frequently Asked Questions
What services can a buyer’s agent provide?
A buyers agent, also knows as a buyers advocate, offers various types of services such as:
Searching and gathering properties that meet your criteria and then negotiating the purchase of that chosen property (whether by auction or private sale.) Depending on your needs, a buyer’s agent may search for one particular property or an entire portfolio, or they can negotiate a better price for you by compiling insights via due diligence and conducting building and pest reports on your chosen property and then developing a negotiation strategy, or they can bid for you at the auction of a property you may have found.
DISCOVER HOW A BUYERS AGENT CAN HELP YOU – AND WHY HAVING ONE MATTERS
What is an off-market property?
An off-market property is a home that has yet to be advertised to the public and is not yet ‘on the market’. The sellers may have already engaged a selling agent and have a price point in mind, but they might be sitting back or taking their time to prepare before taking the property public. They use this time to see if their agent can attract any interested buyers before they must advertise the property publicly.
What is a Buyer’s Agent?
Buyers agents and Buyers advocates are licensed and regulated real estate professionals who act on behalf of the property buyer. Their purpose is to research, find and negotiate a perfect property for their client.
This is as opposed to a real estate agent who has a contract with the seller and therefore has their best interests at heart. A buyer’s agent will always negotiate in favour of you, their client.
What are the fees involved to use a Buyer’s agent?
Buyers agents will typically charge a fee based on the purchase price of the property. The fee will typically range from 1 percent to three percent of the purchase price, but is based on your brief and on the service type the client wants and needs.
Some times clients may ask for a fixed-fee arrangement. However the risk is that if the property purchased is below the price this fee is based on, the client can end up paying a larger fee than if they had chosen a percentage fee.
How can a Buyers agent assist overseas buyers?
Whether you’re relocating to Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide or Canberra for the first time, returning from years overseas, or looking to invest in the Sydney property market, Brisbane property market, Perth property market, or Melbourne property market, our services are specifically designed to make the process as simple and successful as possible.
Our executive leasing partners at Cohen Farquharson offer relocation services to assist in the transition.
How do I know I’m getting genuine local expertise from a national buyer’s agency?
Cohen Handler’s clients work directly with a dedicated senior market specialist who lives, works and buys property specifically in your target suburbs. Each team and buyers agent has areas of expertise, and we don’t operate as a single generic call-centre. That’s why we have offices in each of the cities and towns we operate in. This gives you the best of both worlds: hyper-local real estate agent relationships and off-market access from a neighbourhood expert, backed by national research, data infrastructure and purchasing power.
