We cannot thank Nicole and Zac enough! From day one, they went above and beyond to help us secure our dream home in an area we never thought we could afford or access. Their knowledge of the market, genuine care, and tireless work ethic were outstanding. They were consistently patient, incredibly supportive, and always responsive, and at no point did we feel pressured to buy or rush into a decision. They truly had our best interests at heart every step of the way. Having Nicole and Zac represent us gave us complete confidence in the process, and the result speaks for itself!
We had such an incredible experience working with Lucinda and Zac to purchase our family home. When we first started the process, we weren’t entirely sure what we needed, but Lucinda helped guide us through all the options and really took the time to understand what would work best for our family. She went above and beyond throughout the entire process, taking so much of the hard work and stress off our shoulders. Her communication, professionalism and knowledge of the market were outstanding. They were able to secure our dream home for an amazing price for us during the busy Christmas period, which we were so grateful for. What can often be a stressful experience, felt seamless and enjoyable. We couldn’t recommend the team more highly.
Zac and the team were excellent- calm, patient, and dedicated to finding the right property for me. They were also fonts of wisdom and savvy, directing me away from properties that wouldn't be a good fit for what I needed, and able to negotiate with realtors to advocate for the right price point. Zac took all the stress out of the auction, and the team helped me at every step along the way - from purchase to conveyancing, trade recommendations for renovation, and even arranging movers. They were an absolute blast to work with, and I couldn't recommend or trust them more!
We can’t recommend Zac and Nicole at Cohen Handler Melbourne highly enough. After struggling to find exactly what we wanted and seeing a number of homes selling off market, we decided to approach them for help. Even though we gave them a very limited pool of potential streets, they proactively reached out to homeowners and managed to connect with someone who had been quietly considering downsizing in the future. That conversation ultimately led to us securing our perfect home. Without their initiative and relationships in the area, we never would have found this property, let alone navigated the process of negotiating and purchasing off market. They guided us through every step and made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable. The trust they have built over the years was clearly instrumental. It was obvious the seller needed to feel comfortable before moving forward, and Zac and Nicole handled that with professionalism and care. We’re incredibly grateful for their effort and couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
Zac and Nicole from Cohen Handler helped me secure an investment property in Melbourne while I was based in Sydney, and they were great to work with throughout the process. Buying interstate can be tricky, but their experience and local knowledge made it much easier to navigate, especially in a competitive market. They were patient and persistent in finding the right opportunity, and their advice on strategy and pricing was really helpful when it came time to make decisions. Communication was excellent as well - they were very responsive on WhatsApp and quick to answer questions or provide updates. Overall a really smooth experience and I'd happily recommend Zac and Nicole to anyone looking for help buying an investment property.
