Dream homeReviews from our Brisbane clients
We first worked with Brandon in 2023 when searching for a unit we planned to renovate and sell. From the outset, he completely understood the brief, guided us through the entire process and ultimately secured the property off-market and below market value. We both work demanding, busy jobs, so having someone we trusted to manage the search, filter opportunities and navigate the negotiation process made such a difference. We loved working with Brandon so much that when it came time to buy again, there was no question we’d use him. This time, he helped us secure a design-led apartment that felt completely aligned with what we were looking for. He leveraged his relationships and network to get the deal done, and was also an absolute gun when it came to negotiating the furniture inclusions. Brandon is just a genuinely cool guy to deal with. Nothing ever feels overly transactional and he has a very considered way of navigating what can otherwise be a pretty stressful process. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough!
Upsizing
Brodie was a skilled negotiator who demonstrated great understanding of the market, agents and motivations in the buying / selling process. He has evidenced strong relationships with the agents in the areas he buys which is invaluable. Brodie is also patient and methodical in supporting a purchase from engagement to settlement. We really enjoyed working with Brodie and wouldn’t hesitating to return to him for any future purposes (although we absolutely love the house he assisted us to purchase and hope not to leave for a long time)!
A buyers agent was recommended to myself by a trusted person in real estate in the Caloundra area. They said they would only recommend one and that was Aaron Thompson of Cohen Handler. It was a very good call. Without blow by blow, it’s been a seamless experience with Aaron. I’m only here half the time with work so boots on the ground is important aswell as a broad knowledge of the area and communication with what appears to be a wide and varied base of human and IT resources. If you’re after a buyers agent for the Sunny Coast, I’d be looking him up. Well done A A Ron.😂👍🏻

It was a pleasure working with Brodie Stoker from Cohen Handler. As a selling agent, I really appreciate working with buyer’s agents who communicate openly and transparently throughout the process, and Brodie was great to deal with from start to finish. He worked hard for his buyers and did everything he could to help them secure the right home. I’d happily recommend Brodie to any buyers looking for a buyer’s agent who is professional, proactive and easy to work with.
Brodie Stoker was fantastic to work with and helped us find the perfect home. He was always approachable, professional and easy to deal with, and we really valued his knowledge and advice throughout the process. He was also an excellent negotiator and made the whole experience much easier for us. We’re incredibly grateful for all his help and couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

To be completely honest I was a bit skeptical about using a buyers agent with our recent home purchase. All that changed when we first met with Nikki. Her honesty, professionalism and personality put us instantly at ease. We had a house in mind but thought it was way out of our budget. Nikki negotiated like a champion and we ended buying the property well under the asking price and within our budget. We are one very happy family and none of it wouldn’t have been possible without Nikki. I can highly recommend her services.
We had an excellent experience working with Arpit Singh throughout our home-buying journey. From the very beginning, he was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right property rather than simply closing a deal.
Highly recommended Aaron Thompson - Sunshine Coast, Cohen Handler buyer broker. I moved to the Sunshine Coast from Cairns and needed to buy a home in a short time frame. The market was tough - good homes sold quick and to be honest I really didn’t know the coast well enough in terms of good areas to buy. Aaron took all the stress out of it and was able to access properties off market, look at places for me while I was working, help shortlist and handle negotiations. He also picked up issues not in the sellers disclosure for one property I was considering buying. His local knowledge, excellent rapport with agents and knowledge of the coast secured me a fantastic home, under budget in no time. He is also a genuine all round good bloke that is great to work with and you can trust he is on your side throughout the process. I wouldn’t buy a house any other way in future! Give Aaron a call, you won’t regret it.
Jonny was absolutely incredible. From the very beginning, he listened to every detail of what I was looking for in a home and managed to find me my perfect house in under two weeks of working together. As a first home buyer, I expected the process to be overwhelming, but Jonny made everything feel so smooth and straightforward that it almost seemed too easy to believe I’d actually bought a house. His communication was exceptional throughout the entire process, and I always felt informed and supported. His service was well beyond a 10/10 and exceeded every expectation I had of a buyer’s agent. I genuinely couldn’t recommend Jonny more highly. If you’re looking for someone who truly listens, goes above and beyond, and makes the home-buying experience stress-free, Jonny is the person to call.

Working with Josh was fantastic. Worth every dollar spent and was very happy with the end result. Really appreciate the work he put in.
It was great working with Aaron Thompson on the sale of Heathfield Road, Coolum Beach. Aaron was easy to deal with, communicated well throughout the process, and worked closely with his buyers to help keep everything on track. His professional approach made for a smooth transaction from start to finish. The team at Eastell and Co look forward to working with Aaron again in the future.
Aaron Thompson a great Buyers agent! Highly recommend! Gets the job done and very good at his job
Buying property on your own can be overwhelming, but working with Jonathan Chia (Johnny) at Cohen Handler made the entire experience smooth, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable. I was referred to the team by my mortgage broker, Katie Norbury from Settle In, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. From our very first coffee meeting, it was clear that Johnny had an exceptional understanding of the Brisbane property market and, importantly, the inner-city suburbs I was interested in. As a single buyer navigating the process on my own, I was looking for more than just property advice—I wanted someone I could trust to guide me through one of the biggest financial decisions of my life. Johnny exceeded every expectation. What impressed me most was how well he understood my brief. Every property he shortlisted aligned perfectly with what I was looking for—there wasn't a single inspection that felt like a waste of time. Johnny attended every inspection with me, provided valuable insights, and guided me through every stage, from due diligence and contract review through to negotiation and settlement. His communication and negotiation skills were outstanding and ultimately helped me secure an apartment that exceeded my expectations in both quality and location. I genuinely don't believe I would have achieved the same result on my own. If you're looking for a buyer's agent who is knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and a genuine advocate for his clients, I highly recommend Johnny and the Cohen Handler team. Thank you for helping me find a home I absolutely love!
AARON THOMPSON Sunshine Coast Region 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I have successfully secured 3 properties now in the Sunshine Coast Region as a direct result of Aaron’s work. Well connected and a great guy to deal with, his likability gets in doors with selling agents prior to going to market. Of my own experience, on each occasion, I would never have had the opportunity to secure the home without his involvement. In the industry myself, as a selling agent, my experience with him makes me a strong advocate of the value a quality Buyers Agent can bring to the table. If you are looking for a Sunshine Coast property, this man is your guy. Thanks Aaron, love your work and cannot wait for the next one! ☝️
We’ve known Aaron for many years, however we’ve never had the opportunity to work with him for mutual clients before. We finally got the chance and he made everything super smooth and easy. Communication was on point and always came with great energy! Congrats to all involved. Thanks Aaron and see you on the next one.
We had a fantastic experience with Brodie Stoker. He truly understood what we were looking for and helped us find our dream home that ticked every box. We trusted him throughout the entire process, and it absolutely paid off. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience working with Nic Comino throughout the buying process. Nic was friendly, professional and communicated exceptionally well every step of the way, making the entire experience smooth and stress free. I would highly recommend Nic to any buyers looking for expert guidance and support when purchasing a property.
We dealt with Aaron & he was fantastic. We are 1500klms away from where we purchased.. everything was transparent, easy & he couldn't do enough for us & was always on call to answer any queries. We couldn't have done it without him. Thank you 👍
Birth Josh & Nic were excellent during our investment search. They were able to turn our requests into a reality in a very short period of time. From start to finish, the process was seamless. We are confident we wouldn’t have been able to secure our investment without their support. Thanks again team, we will be back!

Recently I bought a property sourced and negotiated ,using buyers agent Jack Littlejohn. I was very happy with the sale and Jacks ability to source and negotiate.I would use Jack again and ,recommend him to others.It goes without saying, that to give this kind of recommendation ,Jack would have to be a highly skilled buyers agent. TIM McCARTHY
Nic Comino at Cohen Handler is a top-tier buyer's agent. Knowledgeable, honest, and zero nonsense. He really took the time to understand our goals and only brought us properties that fit our criteria. His warnings on 'bad' properties were just as valuable as his recommendations on the good ones. He made a stressful process feel easy and found us exactly what we were looking for. Heartfelt thanks to Nic and Lachlan, 10/10 would recommend working with them!
We had an great experience working with Arpit/Cohen handler throughout our property journey. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, our budget, and our long-term goals. What truly stood out was his dedication. Even after his formal role was complete, he continued to support us — answering questions, guiding us through the next steps, and making sure everything went smoothly.
Aaron Thompson was great to deal with. He is transparent , proactive and I would recommend Aaron to any potential buyers!
Aaron Thompson from Cohen Handler was great to deal with on a recent purchase on the Sunshine Coast. Communication was always timely and the deal progressed smoothly throughout the whole process. Highly recommend.
I’ve worked with Aaron on multiple deals and he’s always been fantastic. He’s knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely so easy to work with. He makes the whole process smooth (and even fun), and communication is always clear and timely. Highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking for a great local buyer’s agent!
We had the pleasure of working with Aaron Thompson recently and he was outstanding throughout the entire process. From initial contact through to settlement, Aaron was clear, professional, and consistently responsive. He made negotiations easy, kept his buyers well-informed, and approached everything with a calm and solutions-focused attitude. As a sales agency, we really appreciate dealing with buyers agents like Aaron — he was a genuine pleasure to work with and we’d welcome the opportunity to work together again.
Jonny kept us up to date every step of the way and was more than willing to work outside usual work hours to get the job done efficiently and ahead of time. Huge value with using Cohen Handler whether you’re experienced or not. Cheers Jonny! 👍👍
I recently had the privilege of working with James on a sale, and I can honestly say he was fantastic from start to finish. His communication and attention to detail were top-notch, and his generosity in handling the contracts on the purchasers’ side made the entire process smoother for everyone involved. James provided an exceptional level of service not only to me as the selling agent but also to the buyers, ensuring a truly collaborative and positive experience. If you're considering a buyers agent, I’d highly recommend getting in touch with James.
Arpit / Cohen Handler is Professional, Insightful, and Truly on your side. Simply superb. A true Maestro. I simply stated that I was looking for a house with certain features and before I knew it, he got me exactly what I had specified! His communication was flawless, and his local knowledge is unmatched. He handled the due diligence, the inspections and all other formalities with absolute precision. If you want to buy with confidence, look no further.
It was through chance that the name and branding of Cohen Handler came across our pathway in Toowoomba. My wife and I were looking for an investment unit in Brisbane, when an old friend mentioned the company. One month on and now owners of a unit in Southbank, this has been the most wonderful decision we have made in investment dealings, from our first meeting we were very comfortable with Nikki, Nikita and the team. In what seemed a whirlwind ride, the girls were incredibly professional, super-efficient and answered our answers with honesty and sincerity at every turn. The end product that just over one month ago that we started our journey from Toowoomba, we are the proud owners of a great investment property in the inner CBD. The whole time, the team was aimed at ensuring the best possible outcome for our investment and the future outlook. I cannot strongly enough recommend Cohen Handlers. Nikki, Nikita, you ladies were amazing, and the extra yards you went to with outside agencies to piece all the puzzle together made the task from Toowoomba seamless. Thanks for your amazing work and sincerity in all our dealings, kindest regards Chris and Karen.

We were vendors and were looking for a hassle-free way to sell our family home without the costs and complications of a real estate agent. We approached Jonny from Cohen Handler, a Buyers' Agent to see if they had any buyers interested in houses in our area. He was back to me within hours and within a week an unconditional contract had been signed. The service and communication were great, always polite and sympathetic to our needa. We were also happy with the price. There was no haggling and everything went smoothly. Thanks Jonny.

As a first home buyer in the market looking to make the first step I came to Cohen Handler for some guidance and have to see the way these guys operate is extremely impressive All information given was relevant and factual and really helped guide me in understanding my choices in the market. The team could not have been more welcoming of me even though I was probably a little more ‘tricky’ than some other clientele. Nic Comino, Jordan and James Navybox are worth every penny and opened doors and opportunities that I would never have considered before. Massive thanks to the team and look forward to more opportunities in years to come

Jonny was absolutely fantastic throughout our property search/journey. He was always available when we needed him, went above and beyond to find the right options, and offered calm, thoughtful guidance when things got stressful. We couldn’t have asked for better support , we highly recommend!
Jonathan did a great job of understanding our purchase criteria, presenting appropriate options, guiding us through inspections & key considerations, negotiating prices and ultimately secured us a property within two weeks of engagement.
Having dealt with Aaron Thompson on multiple occasions, we highly recommend Aaron and Cohen Handler. Aaron's communication is outstanding and he is always the ultimate professional.
Ben Genest was genuinely in my corner he is polite, easy to communicate with and was able to source an off market opportunity. I am very happy with the process and his professionalism. Highly recommend
After over a year of not finding the right property, Rebecca Lawler and Issie Holder provided unmatched service from day one. They provided videos of properties that I was not able to attend and liaising with my solicitors/broker whilst I was overseas. Besides knowing the market better than most, Rebecca and her team provided an invaluable service to me and I could not be happier. Worth every penny.
Nic was an absolute god-send; extremely knowledgeable, communicative and professional. The entire Cohen Handler process and insight was second to none. Being first home buyers and interstate the whole process couldn’t have been easier. Highly highly recommend. Massive thank you to both Nic and the whole Cohen Hanlder team.

Aaron helped us purchase a property in a market we knew little about (Sunshine Coast), providing expert guidance every step of the way. He was highly responsive, challenged our thinking, provided emotional support and ultimately helped us secure the perfect property—off-market and at a great price. Since then, the property has experienced significant short-term growth, just as Aaron predicted, outperforming others we had considered before engaging his help. We’re incredibly grateful to Aaron and the team at Cohen Handler!
We had an incredible experience working with James Navybox. From the very beginning, he listened closely to our needs and gave us honest, insightful advice that made the whole buying process so much easier. James’s knowledge of the market was outstanding, we actually joked and called him our property Siri ! He was able to identify opportunities we never would have found on our own or had access too. ( our case being pre market ) When it came to negotiations, James went above and beyond to secure our property at a fantastic price and with terms that suited us perfectly. James handled every detail with professionalism and care, keeping us informed the whole way through. We have bought and sold many properties and strong communication is incredibly hard to find these days from agents, but James truly was the best level of communication in a real estate deal we have ever had. Thanks to James expertise, we now own a property that every sales agent in the area has told us it was a phenomenal buy. Which we wouldn’t have secured had we had not engaged James Navybox. We will now only continue to purchase through him and the team at Cohen Handler !
After several months of property searches, we found that there was a shortage of suitable properties coming to market. With the reduced supply and steady competition, the limited properties we had found, we weren’t able to secure. Despite keeping a close eye on the market and maintaining regular contact with local agents, our property search was unsuccessful. With demanding jobs and limited time available to continue our search, we turned to Brodie Stoker from Cohen Handler to assist us. From the moment we engaged with Brodie, he has been nothing but professional, patient and extremely motivated to find us a property that met our expectations. Brodie tailored his approach to suit our busy schedules and ensured that we felt consulted and supported throughout the journey. We were extremely impressed with the quantity and quality of properties that Brodie was able to quickly get in front of us, and we were often able to get a private inspection within 24-48 hours. This allowed us to make quick decisions on each property. Once we found the property that met our expectation’s, Brodie was able to expertly handle the negotiations on our behalf, achieving a phenomenal result which we couldn’t be happier with. Brodie was able to secure us an A+ property for a fantastic price which we wouldn’t have been able to achieve had we not engaged him. If you are thinking about engaging a buyers agent, we would highly recommend Brodie, for his exemplary knowledge of the market, negotiation skills and overall just being a great bloke. The value we received in having Brodie handle the process for us and the purchase price well and truly paid for itself. Now we can’t wait to move into our forever home.

I recently sold a home to Brodie. The transaction was professional, seamless and an excellent result for both sides! Thanks Brodie
Had a great experience working with James from Cohen Handler on 1509/25 Connor St, Fortitude Valley. He was representing the buyers and was awesome to deal with - really clear and easy communication which made the whole process smooth. Always good working with a buyers agent like James! Andrew Tran Space Property
As a selling agent, we deal with every type of buyer in the marketplace, and I can confidently say Nic Comino was one of the best to work with. He did an excellent job protecting his client’s needs while also putting forward an attractive offer for the seller. His clear and professional communication made the entire process smooth and straightforward. I would highly recommend Nic Comino and the team at Cohen Handler to anyone looking to purchase in today’s competitive Brisbane northside market.
We want to say a huge thank you to James Navybox and the Cohen Handler team for going above and beyond our expectations to help us secure our dream home! We are absolutely thrilled with our new family home and we couldn’t have done it without James. He made the entire buying process enjoyable and stress free, bringing a wealth of property knowledge, experience and exceptional negotiating skills. We highly recommend his services to anyone looking to buy a home.

We had a great experience with the Cohen Handler QLD team. From the moment we signed up, James and his team were proactive and responsive, sending us a long list of off-market properties each week until we found the perfect one. Despite limited options in the market at the time, they managed to source properties that matched our specific brief. We’d happily work with them again for future purchases.
We have worked with James from Cohen Handler multiple times. Most recently, he helped us acquire our family home in Ascot - a super tightly held market. James’ knowledge of the market, what off market properties were out there and strong understanding of value were incredibly valuable to us, and ultimately help us secure our first choice. We wouldn’t work with anyone else and strongly recommend James and CH Queensland

We are so happy with our new home! Brodie from Cohen Handler was incredible. His market knowledge, relationships with agents, professionalism and auction expertise was exactly what we needed to secure our family home in a very competitive market. With his help, we were even able to line up settlement dates with our sale for a smooth transition to our new home. I know if we doing this on our own, we would have given up a long time ago.

Exceptional Buyer’s Agent – Highly Recommend Ben Grill! Ben Grill recently purchased a buyer for Unit 15 at 30 Mercury Parade, Mango Hill, and couldn’t be more impressed with the outstanding service provided by Ben.. From the very beginning, Ben was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping his client secure the right property. His communication was prompt and clear, and his negotiation skills were second to none. Ben navigated the process seamlessly, always keeping clients best interests front and centre. Thanks to his insight and guidance, he was able to secure a fantastic property in a great location. If you’re looking for a dedicated and experienced buyer’s agent who delivers results, we wholeheartedly recommend Ben Grill. Thank you, Ben!
Ben was awesome to work with as our buyer’s agent. Super knowledgeable and always had our best interests at heart. He made the whole process feel easy and gave us great advice along the way. Highly recommend! Merci 😀
I could not be happier with the service I received from Rebecca, Issie & Nikita. Their knowledge, patience, support and negotiation skills are second to none, and it was a pleasure working with them. I secured a fantastic home in a few short weeks. Thank you so much ladies!
Great experience negotiating with Brodie Stoker, he was firm but fair to deal with. Knew his market inside out, and was compelling when it came to research of comparable sales in the area which is crucial for a buyers agent to know - especially when trying to secure a house in a rising market with multiple other offers being fielded
Exceptional Service from Start to Finish We came to Aaron with a specific brief, and within days he presented us with a tailored list of properties that ticked all the boxes. It wasn’t long before the perfect off-market opportunity came up — and thanks to Aaron’s expertise, we were able to secure it at a great price. I’ll admit, I was initially sceptical about using a buyer’s agent, but Aaron completely changed my perspective. His professionalism, market knowledge, and communication throughout the process were outstanding. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Cohen Handler again in the future.
I had the pleasure of working with Jonny and James from Cohen Handler and couldn’t be more impressed. Their professionalism and clear communication made the entire process seamless. They went above and beyond to deliver outstanding results, showing genuine care and commitment throughout. I highly recommend Jonny and James to anyone looking for top tier buyers agents.
smooth & seamless experience.
The team was incredibly professional and supportive throughout the entire process. Even when I wasn’t completely sure about what I was doing or what I wanted, they remained patient, clear, and genuinely helpful. Their experience really gave me confidence, and I felt looked after every step of the way. Great service and great people!
We found the the whole experience with Brandon and Nikita, invaluable in the purchase of our property. From the outset, they were keen to understand our requirements, then Nikita was amazing as she worked with us right through to a successful purchase. Her assistance certainly made the difference for us and we would highly recommend this service.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Arpit Singh. He is very passionate and knowledgeable about his work, extremely patient, ensures he carefully understands the client needs. Given an opportunity, would love to work with him again.
We cannot thank Rebecca, Issie and the Cohen Handler team enough for finding us our dream home - and at the right price. We truly would not have found it without the incredible support of Rebecca and Issie. From the moment we became their clients, it felt like we had their full focus and energy. They were attentive, exceptionally responsive, and cared deeply about the details. While we know they have other clients, it genuinely felt like we were their only one. Rebecca has an incredible gift for understanding people. After just one meeting with my husband and me, she seemed to understand us better than some people who’ve known us for years. And somehow, she found a home that met both of our (very different) requirements - not an easy task! The Cohen Handler team went above and beyond, offering support and giving us confidence every step of the way. We highly recommend Rebecca, Issie, and the whole team. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Rebecca and Issie tailored the service to my needs and provided exceptional advice. They were incredibly professional and secured a deal I would never have been able to get on my own. I highly recommend the team!!
The whole experience was seamless. Good communication with a whatsapp account. Our needs were listened to and a very good outcome secured. A stunning environment. We are very grateful.
Very thorough in pursuing the client's desires. Definitely worth the fee.
We had an amazing experience with Brodie Stoker and Cohen Handler QLD in finding our forever home. We were able to obtain a home in the area we wanted, near the amenities we needed and a property style we liked for a price we are extremely happy with. Especially grateful to Brodie in exceeding our expectations - Thank you!

Had a great experience working with Brodie from Cohen Handler. Brodie was very transparent & committed to his client. Would recommend Brodie.
Buying property for the first time was daunting, the best decision we made was to engage Cohen Handler to help us with our dream of purchasing property. The professionalism we received from Rebecca, Issie and their team was second to none. They took all the stress away, listened closely to our wish list of requests and delivered us a product that we felt ticked all our boxes and wishes for property in Brisbane CBD. Having moved in and putting our personal touch to the property, Kass and I regularly discuss that having Rebecca and Issie on board was the best decision we ever made. You cannot go wrong if you are looking for someone to help in finding a home, I would encourage anyone to use Cohen Handler in their pursuit for property and especially Rebecca and Issie. It was such a pleasure dealing with them over our journey. Thankyou.
Ryan from Cohen handler was amazing! We struggled for over 6 months trying to buy a house with absolutely zero luck. With Ryan helping us we landed an unconditional contract after only one month on a beautiful home that ticked all our boxes. The added bonus was he found us a house at a great price and in a suburb we otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, in a very competitive housing market. Ryan was clear with his communication, very accessible and always gave his honest opinion. Thanks Ryan and Cohen Handler team !!
This is my second time working with Cohen Handler in Fortitude Valley, and both experiences have been exceptional. Jordan Navybox and Nikki Carrodus provided outstanding service, showing a deep understanding of the local property market. Their expertise was invaluable throughout the due diligence process, which is quite complex in Queensland, and they were able to put me in touch with several great consultants that I used throughout the process. Nikki’s focus and attention to detail in particular gave me complete peace of mind with my purchase. I highly recommend Cohen Handler for their professionalism, market knowledge, and commitment to their clients.
Jared and his team were great to deal with. Super friendly, always communicative and had a number of options for us to see very quickly. Nothing was too much trouble and even after the purchase he’s still be extremely helpful as we’ve moved to a completely new area. Would highly recommend!
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Aaron Thompson from Cohen Handler over the last 12 months, and I can confidently say he is an outstanding buyers agent. Aaron's professionalism and commitment to his clients are second to none. He is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and maintains the highest standards of confidentiality in every interaction. His ability to build strong relationships is truly impressive—he not only focuses on his clients’ needs but also ensures respectful and transparent communication with me as an agent throughout the process. Aaron's client-centric approach sets him apart, as he consistently goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional outcomes. His respectful nature and understanding of the dynamics between all parties involved create a collaborative and seamless experience. It’s always a pleasure working with Aaron, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a buyers agent who embodies integrity, professionalism, and a genuine focus on achieving the best results for their clients.
I’m not usually one for these but in this instance it’s well and truly deserved. I reached out to cohen handler in a pretty desperate state and was allocated Ben. Right from the start he understood what I was looking for and continually kept me on the correct path. His knowledge of locations as well as his understanding of the property market was an absolute winner . I must say that this man took out the emotion with the property search and stuck to the original plan. It is because of Ben that I am now living comfortably, with a glimmer of hope and stability for the future. I couldn’t recommend anyone id rather have had help me through this process and I will be forever in debt to him. A true calm professional and a gentleman as well Thanks Ben from the three of us.
Aaron and Jarred went above and beyond to secure our dream property. They narrowed our priorities down perfectly. We have been more than happy with their hard work and determination. Thanks guys!!
Ben Genest was incredible in helping me secure the perfect home! After I found the house, he stepped in and skillfully negotiated on my behalf, ensuring I got the best possible deal and provided a valuable opinion of the house. What impressed me most was the transparency throughout the entire process—I always knew exactly what was happening and felt confident every step of the way. His expertise and honesty made a potentially stressful experience smooth and straightforward. I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate. Highly recommend!"

Brodie is always wonderful to work with. I find Brodie professional, honest and trustworthy. He is a fabulous Buyer’s Agent who can be relied on to achieve excellent results for his clients. I look forward to working with Brodie on many more deals in 2025.
We engaged Ryan Haller for our property search after a friend referred Cohen Handler having received exceptional service from them. From the moment we met Ryan, we knew he would help us find our new home! His local knowledge of the area and his relationships with local agents was fantastic, and although I have lived in the area myself for 16 years, his knowledge opened my eyes to new pockets I would not have considered before. We had access to off market properties, and it was excellent having Ryan leading the process and managing inspections/ negotiations. We found our perfect house that I would not have considered if Ryan hadn't presented it to us. It was completely off market, and our offer was accepted within 24 hours of viewing. The process from first meeting to post-settlement was fantastic and I can't imagine buying a property in the future without engaging Ryan or a Cohen Handler agent if in a different area. Ryan is really personable, professional and gets results! Thanks Ryan!
We have had Steph Cox be our buyers agent for a property while we were interstate. She was amazing 👏. Straight forward, honest, intelligent, professional, experienced with property. She is an amazing negotiator and we are so glad she was on our team. 💯 % if we look for property again, we will be definitely wanting her. Highly recommend!
We wanted to purchase our first home without drama or soul-destroying searches. Ben Grill at Cohen Handler was the perfect fit for our needs. He understood our budget and reminded us throughout the process of things to consider. He was very patient with all of our newbie questions and we felt confident going to auction. He values honest open communication because he wants his clients to be happy with what they get. Finally, we bought a home at auction and he performed wonderfully on our behalf. We highly recommend Ben for the above reasons and can see how valuable he would be for other buyers.

His knowledge and passion for real estate was invaluable, and he guided me through the process with detailed insight and expertise. Brodie was always available to answer my endless questions, kept me informed, and advocated for me during negotiations - which led to securing an incredible outcome. His professionalism and genuine care for my satisfaction made the journey seamless and alleviated stress through the complexities of real estate investment. It was a pleasure to partner with Brodie, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy buyers agent who has his finger on the pulse!!

I had a great experience working with Brodie Stoker from Cohen Handler during the sale of a property at 61 Wisteria Crescent, Mount Gravatt East. Brodie was professional, communicative, and dedicated to his clients, making negotiations smooth and efficient. I highly recommend him to other agents and buyers and would gladly work with him again.
Nikita did an excellent job sourcing a property for us in Brisbane. It was right location, right price in a market where it was hard to find what we were looking for. I would recommend Nikita's services to others looking to buy in Brisbane. Very nice person too!
Very happy to have worked (again) with Cohen Handler. I had the pleasure to work with Nikita this time who was a great asset and extremely available during my searches, and despite many changes, she adapted and pivoted quickly to help find the right place for me, providing with great advice along the way. Thank you!
We had an amazing experience dealing with Brodie Stoker from CH who secured our amazing property. Brodie is very professional, patient, has great market knowledge and provided great insights during our search which greatly helped our decision making. He communicates very well and provided us with confidence at each step in the process. We would recommend Brodie to anyone looking for a BA!
Rebecca and Issie were amazing and found us the perfect home, and handled so much of the stress of a simultaneous settlement for us! Could not recommend them more 😍
Dream home
Absolutely NO regrets engaging Cohen Handler to look after us. They made the absolute difference for us in ensuring that we now have purchased a beautiful home! Nikita looked after us and guided us all along our search to find the perfect property for our family. We couldn't be happier! =)
We reached out to Cohen Handler after spending over a year searching for a first home. From the jump James and the team were extremely proactive, professional, patient and savvy. One of the best things about working with James was the knowledge he has about the market, suburbs, houses, and strategy. It felt like you had strong insight on everything about a property and clear plan of attack. Even through our own indecision they never gave up on us and kept bringing forth a range of opportunities, offering to do the legwork for us and providing advice about almost anything. We ended up landing a great house in our ideal pocket under budget, but that wasn’t where the support ended. James and the team continued to help us through the purchase process which was daunting as first home buyers. We would definitely recommend James and the team (including Nikita and Lachlan) at Cohen Handler. They were truly awesome and we are stoked.

Reached out James Navybox for property hunting couple months ago. He is very experienced and knowledgeable, guide me thought from the begin to the end without any stress. Very happy with his service and advices, definitely will keep work with him for the future property purchase.
Excellent help and service in finding a new home. They take the time to really understand what you're looking for, the must-haves and must-nots, and narrow their search to those parameters, saving you a lot of leg work and online sleuthing. Their personal service is also excellent, always available and ready to help and answer questions. They took a lot of the stress out of the process, exactly as desired and promised.
I can't recommend Cohen Handler highly enough! From start to finish, their expertise and dedication made the home-buying process seamless and stress-free. They truly listened to our needs, provided invaluable insights, and negotiated a fantastic deal. If you're looking to buy a home, CH is the go-to agent for outstanding service and results!
I can highly recommend James Navybox at Cohen Handler. I was sceptical about the value a buyer’s agent could add but now am a total convert and think it’s the best money I spent! James is a complete professional and knows his job so well. His knowledge of the market , access to off market properties, his sharp negotiation skills and his excellent connections led me to a purchase I am very happy with at a great price. Also being time poor and busy I appreciated all the help and support James gave me through the entire process right up to and even after settlement. He is very responsive and gave me lots of excellent advice. James sought information for me , responded y quickly and helpfully to my many requests and attended all open homes with me. He also clearly was very well known to and has an excellent relationship with seller’s agents which helped me. Importantly as a buyer’s agent James always represented my best interests and I really felt the value of having him in my corner! I trusted him completely. I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Cohen Handler and especially James Navybox.
Had the pleasure of working with Ben Grill to find my next property to live in. After looking at the market for 6 months or more, I felt like I wasn’t getting honest and clear information from the selling agents and never felt like I was able to act with confidence to get the deal done. The process with Ben was so smooth and I felt well informed the whole time. Ben understood the brief really well and his keen eye for detail helped to make finding the one that felt like home a breeze. Whenever I was busy he was always able to attend open homes and supply great insights into the properties. The biggest difference for me was Ben’s network and his insight into the negotiation process. Particularly the final hours of negotiation and his help through process of signing the final contract. His communication and expert negotiation really made me feel like it was money well spent. Would 100% recommend for anyone who needs more clarity when buying their next house.
Aaron and the team from Cohen Handler went over and beyond searching and closing the deal for a home for our family. From the initial interaction through every stage Aaron was responsive, informative and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you to Aaron and the Cohen Handler team.
It was great working with Aaron Thompson from Cohen Handler - he found a property that perfectly matched the brief. Could not recommend him or his services more highly.
I had an excellent experience working with Cohen Handler, specifically with James Navybox as my buyers agent. James was knowledgeable, attentive, and always had my best interests in mind. He made the buying process smooth and stress-free, providing insights and guidance throughout. Very happy with the outcome, I highly recommend James and the Cohen Handler team.
It took a real leap of faith to enlist the services of a buyer’s agent, as we’d never used one before and weren’t sure they could find the property we wanted in such a tightly held and hotly contested Brisbane suburb. However, from the moment we met Ben Genest, we knew we were in safe hands. He has excellent industry contacts and negotiation skills; and Ben applied 100% effort and commitment to find us our dream home in less than two weeks. After actively looking for 10 months on our own, and missing out on numerous properties along the way, we are thrilled that Ben has achieved this result for us - with a little luck, but mostly, with incredible skill. Thank you, Ben!
Dream home
A very big thank you to Ben Genest for delivering a fantastic result to my clients. Ben delivered effective communication, presented great options and secured the deal within a very short time frame! Clients and myself as their mortgage broker are very satisfied and couldn't believe how smoothly it all went. Merci!
We have been extremely happy with our experience with Ben Grill from Cohen Handler. He was able to find us exactly what we had been looking for, a home that ticked all our boxes. He was a great communicator and listened to exactly what we were after. We highly recommend Ben. Many thanks again Ben.
We were in great hands from start to finish with Aaron and Jared from Cohen Handler. They were professional, enthusiastic, helpful and knowledgeable, especially in the locations we were interested in and nothing was ever too much trouble. All of your hard work helped us to secure an investment property in a well sort after area and we couldn’t be happier. Aaron was our main contact and an absolute pleasure to communicate with.. It was great to know we could trust him to walk through, video and explain the properties pros and cons in great detail inside and out as we were unable to view them ourselves. We highly recommend Cohen Handler and would definitely be calling on these guys again with any future potential purchases. Sally & Ken

Exceptional service from start to finish, James and his team helped us find exactly what we were looking for despite a challenging market. He keep us constantly up to date and we are delighted with the services they provided and the house we have purchased. Highly recommend if you are looking to get it done!
After almost two years of searching for a property we almost gave up hope . It was by chance that we met Arpit Singh and he said to us that he is a buying agent and guess what within two weeks of meeting Arpit we got a house . Arpit worked late into the night to get the contract done. Thank you very much Arpit. I would highly recommend Arpit if you are looking for a property. Jay
Arpit Singh is a True Professional to work with! Arpit, you have certainly embodied the reputation and values of Cohen Handler. From my keen observations of Arpit, he has been there all the way for his buyers from start to finish and helping them navigate the mazes of buying. He is determined, knowledgeable, asked all the right questions for his buyers and relentless till the end. It's no wonder his buyers loved him and I loved him too! :) To all buyers reading this, appoint Arpit and you are sure to be in good hands! Best Regards, Johnson Teo Ray White Springwood & Shailer Park
Jordan and Co are best in the business. Highly recommend.
We have been looking for the property for around more than 1 year. We were at the point of giving up! Getting on board with Arpit was the best decision we made He was great to communicate with and made everything easy for us. I highly recommend Arpit and his team to anyone in need of expert assistance in the home-buying process. Their dedication, expertise, and personalised approach truly set them apart.
As first-time homebuyers, we were extremely grateful for the expertise and guidance provided by Arpit (Ary) & his team throughout the entire process. Arpit was exceptionally patient, attentive, and knowledgeable. He took the time to understand our needs and preferences, and consistently went above and beyond to find us the perfect home. He also expertly navigated negotiations and paperwork, making the process as smooth as possible. We highly recommend Arpit to anyone looking for an outstanding buyer's agent!
Dream home
Thank you, Ary, for your exceptional service and skills in finding the right property and closing the deal before the auction. It wouldn't have been possible without your expertise and experience.
Fantastic working with Aaron and the Team. Fabulous market knowledge and insight with amazing service, attention to detail and very easy to deal with. I highly recommend Aaron to help source and purchase your next property. Greg
100 % recommended , Arpit from Cohen handler helped us to step into property investment market with complete( End to End) service , understanding our need, basic requirements , budget then providing and filtering all relevant property options (at negotiated price). We were able to find the right property within few weeks of engagement , and instead saved us months of researching and losing out the opportunities in market. Cohen Handler is there to make it happen for you. and i wish to seek their services again in future for next property as well.

First time using a buyers agent and couldn't be happier. Nikki and Nikita were super professional and personable. We looked at houses for about 6 months and hated the process. Nikki and Nikita did a lot of research on our behalf and took away a lot of the stress, no need to deal with real estate agents. We had a specific criteria but it took Nikki and Nikita only 6 weeks to find us a home. So happy and wish we did it sooner. Thanks Nikki and Nikita!
Having Anna take the lead on helping buy my first home 6 months ago was brilliant. Sure was super patient and helped me build my confidence and knowledge and ability to say no. Ended up with exactly what I needed and when 🙌

I couldn't be happier with Cohen Handler's services. Nikita & Joanna went above and beyond to help me find a good townhouse. I highly recommend them.
Top Communication & Straight forward. Nikita was fantastic to deal with from start to finish & I would highly recommend her to any buyer looking to purchase!
Cohen Handler was wonderful to work with to buy our first home! They were prompt with enquires and always reachable. Would highly recommend working with them to navigate the realestate market.
First home
This is the 1st time that we have used a Buyer’s Agent. Given we always use agents to sell properties, it actually makes common sense to have a professional handle the purchase. Ryan was definitely that and took a huge amount of stress out of the process. His communication was excellent. Availability spot on and knowledge of the areas that we were looking at top notch. His relationships with selling agents also assisted. He has delivered a home to us that represents great value.
In the current market it's tough as a buyer with limited stock and highly competitive open homes and negotiations. Cohen Handler takes the stress out of the experience and provides support and expert market guidance. We will never transact on property without them again.
My wife and I are first time investors with zero knowledge. Nikita is really professional, knowledgeable, and cares deeply that she gets the right property for us. She recommended the right team that can help us with our purchase. I am really excited with our property. No time is off limits with Nikita, weekend evening, send her a message you get a response right away. You will feel that you are glad you have Nikita and Cohen Handler on your side on your adventure. Thank you Nikita.

Ary was amazing from start to finish. He found me an ideal property, just what I was looking for. He was also constantly in communication at all the important times to make sure things went smoothly and I got the best deal. Can't thank him enough for his help. Thanks Ary !!
Jared and Aaron were fantastic in helping us secure our home on the Sunshine Coast. They were very professional and responsive, and it was great to have someone in our corner to manage the negotiations. Will definitely use again. Thanks Cohen Handler!
Deciding to sell our family home of 18 years meant we needed to find another! We could have bumbled though, probably making all the mistakes inexperience brings. Thankfully our selling agent recommended we meet James Navybox of Cohen Handler and talk about how he could help us. From the start we felt comfortable, James’ relaxed nature and quiet confidence meant we didn’t hesitate to engage him. While our selling agent worked on our home we were seeing multiple off market properties. Not having to join the rest of the home hunters on Saturday mornings was wonderful. It meant finding our next home was relaxed, giving us the time to refine what we wanted. Not feeling rushed or in competition with other buyers meant we could narrow down our top choices, pay second visits and most importantly set our budget. Once our home sold at auction we were ready to make an offer. The exciting part. This is where James really worked his magic. Guiding us calmly through a nerve racking 24hrs with a clear strategy to save us maximum $$$. James’ professional relationship with Brisbane’s best-selling agents gave us easy access, often in short time frames to a beautiful selection of homes. We would recommend working with James, we will be again. He’s been tasked with finding a budget friendly holiday home. We know he’ll find it. Leisa & Brad Bulimba

We cannot thank Aaron enough for his professionalism and assistance in sourcing us our dream home on the Sunshine Coast. Highy recommend his services!
Dream home
Ryan was amazing! Finding us the perfect house fitting the many expectations we had. Even when we thought we were looking for something that was impossible and were ready to compromise on our wishes, he kept working hard to get us everything we wanted and more. I'm sure his negotiating got us a great price at a time the market was extremely competitive for buyers.
Jordan and Ryan were a truly fantastic team from the start of our search, through DD, to ultimately formulating the auction strategy, introduction to a great managing agent and securing a great property for us at a price lower than we had thought possible. Seamless, responsive and high quality service. Would not hesitate to recommend them and wish them much success in the future !
Can't speak more highly of Ryan and the Team and Cohen Handler. Ryan's very very good at what he does and once we signed the hunger and drive to really help us find our desired property was second to none. It felt really good knowing we had the weight of experience behind us. We will certainly be repeat customers in the future.
The Team from Cohen Handler, in particular Ryan and Rebecca, helped us find our new long-term home. After a few months of searching they were able to help us secure the property for a competitive price. We had very specific criteria which made things a bit tricky and without their help we would probably still be in the search. We learned a lot about the market and the negotiating process. The service also included really good contacts for cleaners, building & pest inspectors and conveyancing. We are super happy with our purchase and highly recommend Cohen Handler. Thank you.
A very professional organisation and we were well represented by Ryan Haller. When it came to concluding the purchase of our home Ryan certainly came to the fore and gave us the outcome we were looking for. I have no hestiation in recommending Cohen Handler and in particular Ryan Haller.
We had a great experience purchasing our home with Cohen Handler. After looking ourselves for over 6 months, Ryan Haller was able to secure us a property in only 7 days of working with him in a pretty tough market. We had communication with him every day and he really took the time to understand our needs and negotiate a great price with the agent. Will definitely be using Ryan for our next home purchase and highly recommend.
James from C&H helped us secure the house we wanted, in the area we wanted, at the price we wanted. Made it simple!
It’s always been a pleasure dealing with Cohenhandler, James and the team work very hard and go the extra mile for their clients.
Highly recommended! Arpit Singh is a seasoned buyer's agent with a wealth of experience in residential property investing and finance.
Josh was a pleasure to work with through the buying process. He was extremely responsive, proactive and always checking in with us to communicate any properties he believed would fit our requirements and show us through numerous places so we could find our perfect home. I would highly recommend to anyone to engage with Josh from Cohen Handler for your next property!

Anyone who is considering a buyers agent must speak with Aaron Thompson! I have dealt with Aaron on multiple occasions, both on a personal and business level. He is extremely knowledgeable on the Sunshine Coast property market, and I highly recommend his services to any potential clients. 10/10
Really good service, highly recommend!! 🙌
It's hard to put into words just how wonderful Joanna was to work with in helping me to buy my first property. She managed to find me an off-market property in a building I love which I absolutely would not have been able to secure on my own. Joanna listened carefully to my hopes and preferences and arranged all of our viewings. If I wasn't able to make a viewing, she took a video and emailed me with key details about the property. All the time and stress of liaising with agents and arranging everything before, during and after purchasing my apartment was taken care of by Joanna. Her professionalism including transparency and reliability was outstanding. I can't recommend Joanna highly enough as a buyer's agent and am forever grateful for all her work to secure my new home.
First home
Our property buying journey was made very easy & convenient by the Cohen Handler team. Arpit (Ary) has proven to be the biggest help in acquiring our dream home. The sourcing of properties, especially the off markets, inspection videos, negotiations and the emotional support was what led us to finalise on the right property. Thank you team 👍

Professional and hard Working buyers agency.
The Navybox crew really know their stuff. Best experience ever they made purchasing so easy. They sourced and did all the negotiating! Thank you.
Anna from Cohen Handler helped me achieve my goals which I thought wouldn’t be possible in this difficult market. She has an incredible wealth of knowledge and is there for you every step of the way. You can tell she has a true passion for assisting people achieve their property goals. I highly recommend Cohen Handler (and Anna in particular) to anyone.
I have had the pleasure of working with Josh multiple times now and I have to say, it is always an absolute delight. Josh has great attention to detail, commitment to quality, and exceptional communication skills that have made working with him a breeze.
Best in business !
A real estate agent suggested our consulting a buyers agent Rebecca Lawler when he learnt the trouble we were having finding a slightly larger 2 bedroom unit and having to compete with many buyers in a very hot apartment market. Having missed out with two offers we made, we decided to use Cohen Handler. We had a very interesting and informative initial interview with Rebecca, and decided to sign up with them. Rebecca is very friendly and engaging, a real people person, hardworking and efficient, with a strong market knowledge. She explained that she would source, show, research and negotiate a purchase of a great property for us to suit our budget. We ended up continuing to find some good properties because we could not help ourselves, being realty addicts, but where Rebecca proved her stuff was advising us and then negotiating a great price for a unit we love. We paid our commission to Cohen Handler and although we believed our contact would then cease, Rebecca has continued to do other work for us toward completion of the sale. This is a very results focused company that has been a real pleasure to deal with.
We had been looking for a home for a while now but the competitive market and trying to find the time to spend every weekend at open homes was getting increasingly difficult. We were referred to Cohen Handler from a real estate agent at an open home. Our buyers agent Lucinda Owen found us a home that fit our brief in just three weeks. She took so much stress off us, attending open homes, sending us videos and finding many off-market options. Her relationship with multiple real estate agents was useful and helped us in the negotiations. Lucy was always available for our questions and open to all our feedback on properties to find us what we wanted.
We started looking for a home nearly 2 years ago now. We would plan how many open homes we could drag our then 1 year old son to every Saturday morning/afternoon/after work during the week and looking for a home just became even more stressful when the market did what it did competing with so many other people on securing a property. Being on the real estate app at every spare second of the day had engulfed us.I stumbled across Cohen Handler in a local FB community group page and we decided to give them a go. I wish I'd found them sooner. Our buyers agent Luke took so much stress of our plates - he was invaluable!! He attended open homes during the week that we could just never make because of work commitments and send us videos, we regained our Saturday mornings back and he always had our best interest at heart in what we wanted in a home and our budget. The relationship he has with real estate agents is invaluable and ultimately led to us securing a home off market recently. Buying a house is such a stressful thing to do, especially with a young family and working - so do yourself a favour and get in touch with Cohen Handler. The professionalism, commitment and level of service shown by Luke was incredible. We are forever grateful that you found our home for us and made it happen. Thank you!!!
We received an excellent service from Jordan Navybox and Brandon Mein in finding an off market property. They were able to identify a property based on our needs and negotiated shrewdly to get the best price.It was particularly impressive during the period of sellers market. Will definitely use their service again in the future.
Shane is very professional, excellent post sales support and will definitely use again. 5 stars
This morning we finally bought our perfect new home and it is Jacob Butler that we have to thank. He managed to remove so much of the hassle and frustration from the process and most importantly, kept the auctioneer and vendors in the room to get the deal over the line. His relationships with agents, knowledge of the local market and ability to read the auction process was invaluable. Worth every cent and he’ll be one of the first people we invite round for a cold beer when we move in next month. Thanks Jacob, you’re a champion
An amazing experience with Jordan and the team. A great result in such a short time. We definitely saved a lot of time and money . Wouldn't buy a home any other way.
