An outstanding service: highly professional, extremely well-informed, completely thorough, but at the same time friendly and always sympathetic to our requirements. After six months of frustration, looking and bidding on properties without success, we were introduced to Cohen Handler. We set our sights on a particular property, with a Jordan and Matt delivered within days, and within budget. Exceptional. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

I was a bit ambivalent at the start as to whether it would be worth the while. We certainly would’ve pulled out our hair, and we probably would’ve made some serious mistakes. They had all the information at every point it was a one stop shop. We would not try and buy a house again without Cohen Handler, it was the best decision we made…

Our experience with Cohen Handler was brilliant. They took the time to really understand our needs and inform us on what was happening in the market. Jordan secured us a brilliant outcome and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended!

Service from Leon was excellent – communication was constant and he was very open to what we liked and what we didn’t like. The best aspect was when it came to negotiating purchase – Leon knows nearly every real estate agent in the east, which was of great benefit on knowing how to best move forward to secure the property for a great price. I would definitely recommend Leon to those looking to buy, depending on budget.

From the outset, Jordan was responsive and engaged. He negotiated a truly remarkable outcome for us in the purchase of an iconic landmark heritage property in less than 2 weeks of his appointment. His calm negotiation style and knowledge of the market were instrumental in securing this amazing property.

Thomas and Simon were diligent, knowledgeable, thoroughly professional and a delight to work with. It took much of the stress and anxiety out of the purchase process knowing we had them on our side.

Thanks for all the efforts finding us the right property to fit our portfolio. James was an outstanding support and offered solid advice throughout. Knowledge of the local market and an understanding of our requirements was top notch. Looking fwd to getting into the Reno, and realising the potential. Thanks to the whole team at CH.

Steven Langman is the superpower you want and need when searching for your dream home, in a highly competitive and fast-moving market that is Sydney. He understood the brief, delivered options the next day and helped navigate, with aplomb, a highly stressful and emotionally charged process. I bought a beautiful home in three days. I highly recommend Steven!

Eddy. M

This was our first experience with a buyers agent and both Matt and I enjoyed the process. Engaging Cohen Handler and working with Luke Serhan gave us the confidence to move quickly when it came time to put an offer on the property we wanted. Luke’s expertise in negotiation ensured our offer, though lower than some of the competing bids, was successful. I also appreciated the assistance from Luke with referrals for conveyancing and finance, both of which have been positive experiences. Luke’s professionalism, market knowledge and understanding of both our situation and brief made the whole process easy and we were able to secure our ideal property within 8 weeks.

Can’t recommend these guys too highly. They understand the market, have an excellent relationship with real estate agents and guide you through an otherwise stressful process. What’s more, there is a very good chance they will save you money, as they did for us.
