Dream homeReviews from our Gold Coast clients
Jack Littlejohn has helped me tremendously buying my first home, securing an home that suited me best with my requirements that I want, as an agent I find it hard timing wise to have a look at inspections and to move forward. Jack was amazing throughout the whole process
First home
I honestly couldn’t recommend Jack Littlejohn from Cohen Handler highly enough. My wife and I have been searching for our perfect family home for the better part of two, nearly three years. During that time, we’ve had an addition to our family, and finding that big family home where we could settle down and raise our family became incredibly important to us. Over those years, we found a couple of homes we thought could be “the one”, only to be outbid or mucked around during negotiations. After going through the excitement of finding a house, getting emotionally invested, crossing our fingers and then being let down a few times, the whole process honestly started to become exhausting. A friend of mine had mentioned that another friend of his had used Jack Littlejohn as a buyer’s agent and had a great experience. The idea sat with me for a while until eventually I decided to pull the pin and give Jack a call. It was genuinely one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. From the very first conversation, Jack was amazing to deal with. He clearly explained what he does, how he does it, why he does it and how the entire process works. There was no pressure, everything was straightforward, and signing up was incredibly easy. Almost immediately, Jack started sending us properties in exactly the areas we wanted — and not just houses we could find ourselves online. We were seeing properties that weren’t advertised yet, genuine off-market opportunities and homes we simply would never have known existed. He created a WhatsApp group for my wife and me and was constantly sending through properties, information and video walkthroughs. Then, about two weeks after we started working with Jack, he found it. Our home. It was genuinely the most perfect property we had seen in nearly three years of searching. It ticked every single box and was actually better than anything we had found ourselves. From the moment we walked through it, my wife and I absolutely fell in love with it. But finding the house isn’t even the part that impressed me most about Jack. The second we told him, “Yep, we love this one,” he took over. Jack dealt directly with the selling agent, handled all of the negotiations, organised the building and pest process and basically took care of everything. We were kept informed the entire way without having to deal with all the stressful back-and-forth that had made our previous experiences so frustrating. And then there was the price. Jack negotiated it down a lot — and I really mean a lot. When you compare what Jack’s service cost us against what he managed to save us through the negotiation alone, his value became very obvious. There’s also something incredibly valuable about having someone negotiate for you who isn’t emotionally attached to the property. By that stage, my wife and I were completely in love with the house and, after searching for nearly three years, we absolutely did not want to lose it. Jack kept the emotion out of the negotiation, dealt professionally with the selling agent and got us the home we wanted at a price we were extremely happy with. Jack is genuinely worth his weight in gold. Before using a buyer’s agent, I questioned whether we really needed one. After going through this process, I genuinely don’t know why we didn’t do it sooner. We spent nearly three years searching ourselves. Jack found our dream home in about two weeks. I’m writing this on Wednesday, 19 August, and tomorrow we finally get the keys to the home we’ve spent the last few years dreaming about. We honestly couldn’t be happier. Jack, thank you mate. You didn’t just help us buy a house — you found the home where we’re going to raise our family and make memories for many years to come. If anyone is sitting on the fence wondering whether using a buyer’s agent is worth it, give Jack a call. We sat on the fence too. We only wish we’d called him two years earlier. Thanks Jack ! Jordan and Anna

Jack Littlejohn was our buyers agent, and he was fantastic. We live in Melbourne and we wanted someone exceptional to find a very important investment for us. We got lucky finding Jack. Our brief was tough and we wanted very specific property in a specific area. Jack got it done. Jack was intelligent in his approach and his communication was phenomenal, especially when it came down to talking about expectations and options. Jack is a true professional. Very diligent and a deep understanding of the market we were buying in. I will be using Jack again, no doubt.

I honestly couldn't recommend Luke and the team at Cohen Handler highly enough. To be completely honest, I was against using a buyer's agent in the beginning. We'd already spent almost 12 months looking for a home ourselves, and I couldn't justify paying someone to do something I thought we could do on our own. My wife convinced me to give it a go, and looking back, I'm so glad she did. I genuinely don't think we would have secured our home without their help. Luke and Oscar guided us through the entire process, from organising inspections and dealing with the selling agent to developing an auction strategy and bidding on our behalf. Having experienced professionals in our corner made what is normally a very stressful process feel far more manageable. The biggest surprise for me was that I actually think they saved us money. Their advice, negotiation skills, and auction strategy meant we didn't overpay for the property, so their fee more than paid for itself. While both Luke and Oscar were fantastic to work with, I have to give a special mention to Luke. From day one he was approachable, genuine, and incredibly easy to deal with. He always made us feel like we were his priority, gave honest advice without any pressure, and was someone we trusted completely throughout the process. He's not only excellent at what he does, but he's also just a genuinely great bloke. Even now, 12 months later, we still recommend Luke and the team to anyone looking to buy. Several of our friends have since reached out to Luke and Cohen Handler after hearing about our experience, and we've had absolutely no hesitation in sending them their way. If you're on the fence about using a buyer's agent like I was, I'd strongly recommend having a chat with Luke and the team at Cohen Handler. We couldn't be happier with the outcome, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
We recently used Cohen Handler GC for the second time to buy our home and we’d absolutely recommend them and use them again. We first worked with them a few years ago, and that property made significant gains, so when it came time to buy again there was no question we’d use them again. Their advice, negotiation skills and knowledge of the market made the whole process so much less stressful, and we ended up with a home we genuinely love.
As a sales agent, it's always a pleasure working with a professional buyers agent. Oscar was always well prepared, punctual and commiunicated clearly throughout the entire transaction, making the process smooth for everyone involved. He acted with integrity and professionalism from start to finish. I look forward to working together again.
Working with Luke and Tom at Cohen Handler Buyers Agents Gold Coast was one of the best decisions we made. Buying a property can be overwhelming, but they made the entire process so much easier. They took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, were incredibly patient, and never made us feel pressured. Their local knowledge and honest advice were invaluable, and they always gave us confidence that we were making the right decisions. What impressed me most was how much they genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for us. They were always responsive, professional, and willing to go the extra mile. Their negotiation skills and attention to detail were exceptional, and they found opportunities we would never have discovered on our own. I’m so grateful for everything Luke and Tom did for our family. If you’re considering using a buyers agent on the Gold Coast, I wholeheartedly recommend them. They exceeded every expectation, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future.
I can’t recommend Luke and Tom at Cohen Handler Buyers Agents Gold Coast highly enough. From the very beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right property. Their understanding of the Gold Coast market, attention to detail, and strategic advice gave us confidence throughout the entire process. What really stood out was their communication. They were always available to answer questions, kept us updated every step of the way, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel straightforward and enjoyable. Their negotiation skills and ability to identify opportunities were outstanding, and it was clear they always had our best interests at heart. If you’re looking for honest, hardworking buyers agents who truly go above and beyond for their clients, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Luke and Tom. Thank you both for your professionalism, dedication, and exceptional service—we couldn’t be happier with the outcome!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better buyer’s agent than Luke. He went above and beyond to find us the right home in an incredibly competitive market. While we were busy second-guessing everything, Luke was behind the scenes building relationships, negotiating, and somehow managing every selling agent like a mastermind. He was strategic, calm under pressure, incredibly knowledgeable, and always one step ahead. We genuinely felt like we had someone in our corner who knew exactly how to navigate the process and get us the best outcome. Buying a home is so stressful, but Luke made us feel confident every step of the way. If you’re considering using a buyer’s agent, take this as your sign!
Tom, Luke and the team at Cohen Handler provided a considerate, informed and supportive experience as we searched and secured our first home. Thanks to them, we were able to navigate the ins and outs of of the process with knowledge and understanding, and felt as though they were equally invested in our success. We can’t recommend them more highly, and would definitely want to work with them again should we be in the market to buy again. Thank you team!

Had a great experience through Cohen Handler. They found me a wonderful unit on the Gold Coast and mentored me the whole way through the process. Thanks guys!
We had a great experience with Luke and the team. First time looking to buy a home, we identified the exact thing we wanted in an example that had recently sold. It was #1 of a duplex—Luke approached the owners of #2 and was able to get us engaged with them off-market. We had a fairly complicated buying process due to our personal circumstances having recently return from living overseas. Luke helped us navigate a lot of challenges and ultimately helped got us exactly what we wanted at a great price. There is no way we would have been able to secure it or a comparable home without Luke's help. It also gave us a lot of confidence having an expert to help us through what is a fairly intimidating process. Even down to the little logistical details, Luke has been extremely helpful the whole way through.
Engaging a buyer's agent wasn't something we had ever seriously considered, but we're so glad we did! Working with Luke and Oscar from Cohen Handler was one of the best decisions we have made throughout our entire property journey. From the very beginning, they took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. Luke and Oscar were intuitive, efficient, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right property and thanks to their expertise and network, were able to secure an off-market opportunity that ticked all of our boxes. We were guided through every step of the process, from attending initial property viewings and navigating negotiations, to helping us secure a move in date that aligned perfectly with the settlement of our property sale. Luke and Oscar's support, knowledge, and attention to detail made the whole experience seamless. Our expectations were exceeded in every way. Luke and Oscar are true professionals who combine expertise with a genuine, down-to-earth approach, making them incredibly easy to trust. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to buy property, and would gladly work with them again in the future.
James, Lachy, Luke & the whole team at Cohen Handler were brilliant to deal with. After toiling away ourselves for months, we had immediate traction and results with them. We should have engaged them earlier. Excellent market knowledge, strong relationships in the market, brilliant negotiation and all delivered to us in a simple, efficient and straightforward manner. Strongly recommend.
Luke and Oscar were a fantastic duo, balancing both the professional and emotional skills required to successfully find and execute on a home that is perfect for us. I was initially apprehensive on engaging a BA, due to prior experience but CH exceeded expectations and delivered on a service that was promised. They provided us access to properties prior to market and acted promptly and professionally in order to secure our home. Would strongly recommend if searching in the Gold Coast area.
I highly recommend Jack and Oscar. Buying a property, it couldn't have been easier. I gave them my budget and criteria. They sourced around 10 properties for me and ultimately finding the right one around $100K under budget. Their communication was excellent throughout. They inspected every property, provided details with photos, videos, body corporate information and their professional opinion, so I always felt confident making decisions. From the due diligence and inspections to liaising with my broker, solicitor the selling agent and settlement. They handled everything I genuinely didn't have to lift a finger. The whole process was seamless, professional and stress free. If you are looking for a buyer's agent who does the hard work and keeps you informed every step of the way, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Jack was an incredible buyer’s agent from start to finish. Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right property. His communication, attention to detail, and negotiation skills made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend Jack to anyone looking for someone trustworthy who truly goes above and beyond.

Well done team.

Luke is absolutely amazing! He was easy to work with, very knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. We had a hard brief and he delivered with an off market home that we bought within our budget. My husband and I both agree that we wouldn’t have been able to buy our new home without Luke’s help. We were a bit nervous to use a Buyer’s Agent with the fees but he actually saved us money overall. I highly recommend Luke and we will definitely be using his services in the future. Thank you Luke!
I have dealt with the team at Cohen Handler on several deals and I can say they are all fantastic to deal with. Recently Tom was able to purchase 2 properties for his clients off us before going to market so was able to save his clients from dealing with any competition. Always happy to recommend Cohen Handler to any buyers looking to buy
Luke made sure that our first home buying experience was as smooth as possible. Excellent service.

Oscar Lewis is fantastic. We have collaborated on a few properties and he always goes above & beyond for his clients. Overall the team at Cohen Handler is very professional. I would definitely recommend it to your property journey.
Luke and Oscar worked tirelessly to secure our dream retirement home. They are compassionate, understanding, and patient. Their problem-solving and negotiation skills are unsurpassed, and no hurdle in the contractual process is too big for them to overcome. The real estate market can be a tricky minefield to navigate, but it’s reassuring to know that Luke and Oscar are by your side every step of the way. For them, this isn’t just business—they take your happiness personally. You may only buy a handful of homes in your lifetime, so it’s important to get it right each time. Luke and Oscar can help make those decisions easier.
Downsizing
As first-time home buyers, we were initially intimidated by the process, especially after some uncomfortable experiences with seller's agents. Choosing to work with Tom at Cohen Handler was one of the best decisions we’ve made. Throughout the process, Tom was professional, communicative, and incredibly supportive. He went above and beyond to shield us from unnecessary stress, making the entire experience smooth and manageable. Thanks to his expert negotiation skills, we purchased our dream home within weeks and well below market value. I give Cohen Handler my highest recommendation and would gladly work with them again in the future.

We had an exceptional experience working with Luke when we bought our house in October 2020. From the very beginning, he demonstrated a deep understanding of the local market and provided invaluable insights that guided us through every step of the buying process. Luke was incredibly responsive and always available to answer our questions, no matter how trivial they seemed. He went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and confident in our decisions. The level of professionalism and dedication he showed was truly remarkable. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Luke was his negotiation skills. Luke secured a fantastic deal for us, even in a competitive market. We felt supported and well-represented throughout the entire process. In addition to his expertise, Luke was genuinely a pleasure to work with. He made the often stressful home-buying process much more tolerable. We are incredibly grateful for his hard work and dedication and are thrilled with our new home. We highly recommend Luke to anyone looking to buy a home and he has now helped purchase for several of our friends.
We worked with Luke and had a fantastic buying experience. Luke provided valuable local property insights that assisted us in making decisions and managed all negotiations for the property we chose. His negotiation tactics were strategic, ultimately securing the property we preferred at a great price point. Highly recommend the Gold Coast Cohen Handler team.
I can't recommend Cohen Handler Gold Coast highly enough. We have worked with Luke on a number of properties and can attest to how professional, well connected, knowledgeable and friendly he is. i look forward to working with him on future purchases and would recommend others do the same.
Luke of Cohen Handler - Buyers Agent - is the consummate professional. He took the time to actually listen to what I had to say -he is/was very kind to me. Of note was his ability to find all the coffee shops within a 15km radius of his office. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending Luke - he is a good man
It's a pity that only 5 stars are available as Luke and the Gold Coast Cohen Handler Team deserve 10. Would not have secured the purchase that we did without Luke and his team. Genuine, honest and a calming voice during a major acquisition.
Luke was fantastic to deal with and found us the perfect home as promised in under 2 weeks. It was the best decision we made and felt great having Luke on our side dealing with real estate agents. Would recommend him and Cohen Handler to anyone.

Working with Luke was the best decision we ever made. Hassle-free, smooth and accommodating with our short lead time. We managed to find the perfect dream home and it didn’t feel like we lifted a finger, let alone purchased a property. I can't recommend a Buyer's Agent but specifically Cohen & Handler (and Luke) more.

Luke treated us as if we were his only client . Professional, personable and knowledgable ..... we would only use Luke for future property searches .We have recommended other people to Luke ,and have heard the same feedback. The only man in the game to use best Richard and Julie
Working with Cohen Handler made the purchase of our new home, by far, the best home-buying experience we’ve ever had. The vetting of properties, what felt like ‘inside information’, and patient professionalism guided our journey. Luke Serhan’s outstanding level of market expertise gave us so much confidence in what we were doing. The market is a bit nuts so having expert advice on such an important investment is worth every penny. The transaction itself was literally served to us on a platter. We’re both busy professionals, so having Cohen Handler do all the heavy lifting was just brilliant.

I highly recommend Luke and the CH GC team given my recent property acquisition experience. Luke was a true professional and proved to be an expert in not only property as a whole, but also the Gold Coast area in general. Luke has his finger on the pulse with all things Gold Coast and I will not hesitate to trust in him and his team again soon!
Luke and the team are exceptionally good at their jobs. If you are busy professional like myself and the market is as tight as we’ve seen in the last couple years and you can’t afford to continue missing out. Look no further, money well spent if the property you want is out there they will find it. Once again thank you
Having missed out on multiple properties, we were introduced to Cohen Handler, particularly Oscar & Luke. We were genuinely surprised by the amount of off market properties that were presented to us. We had been provided off-markets previously by agents but they were sporadic, and often did not take into account our preferences. Suffice to say, not only was the property we ended up securing bang on brief, but we ended up securing the home for a price we thought was unachievable in such a tight market.
Amazing team that helped us secure our first property! Can’t thank them enough.
First home
Wasn’t confident using a buyers agent and I was definitely reluctant at first. After talking with Luke, I was more than confident with his strategy on Off market networking and deals he has access to within his company. First property he showed us didn’t meet our requirements. He quickly tested and adjusted. Second one was a slamdunk at a price point under market value in Burleigh heads. Bank immediately told us it was well under current market value. Will be using Luke moving forward to purchase.

Loved working with Luke and the CH team, great buyers agents!!!
Luke and the team made me feel really comfortable and confident as a first home buyer. I was thrilled with the house he purchased for me and the whole process from inspections through to contract. Highly recommend working with Cohen Handler if you’re looking for a new property whether for a home or investment!

My experience with Cohen Handler Gold Coast was efficient and of great value to me and my company. They responded well to my brief and gave a continual supply of potential sites, working tirelessly to bring forth the best available opportunity. This resulted in a site I could not have secured in the open market - a perfect fit to my requirements. If you are considering to engage cohen handler I would not hesitate, there is immense value in partnering with someone in their team to understand your needs and secure you the best property available.
My husband and I live in another state and were looking for an investment property in the area. Not only did the team at Cohen Handler help us navigate the local market but they took a lot of the stress off our plate by managing the whole process. We ended up finding a property that completely ticked all our boxes and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to do the same!

As the owner of a very large international corporation I just don't have the time to search for properties. The properties Cohen Handler presented me were within the scope of my instructions and in a detailed format. The penthouse apartment I settled on, was beyond my expectations. Thank you team.
Working with Cohen Handler buying Agents was a delight ! I am a single mother and I was not looking forward to going through all the stress of buying a house on my own. They guided me through the whole process to a successful purchase . They kept to my brief and the customer service was amazing .
