Eddy I can't thank you enough for your help in selling my property. Your persistence, patience and enthusiasm is admirable and the level of communication you had with me throughout the process was outstanding. Even though I did not believe that Auction was the right way to go I am glad that I took your professional opinion into consideration and made the right choice. I would have no hesitation in recommending you and your team, you worked extremely hard and I was very pleased with the result.

Selling my little historic cottage was emotional but necessary .. the minute Peter walked in he "got it". From the start I felt I could trust his judgement . Peter does not waste words or phone calls, is efficient, informative, direct, yet friendly. The advertising was spot on and the process seamless, in fact the sale was so smooth that it seemed to be over before it even started, with an excellent result. Thank you.

It took me some time to decide on who would be the right agents for the sale of our old family home, so it is with great pleasure I write this recommendation for both Jonathan Hammond and Julie Hatch at Cobden & Hayson. A professional, but friendly, down-to-earth attitude, coupled with a healthy dose of enthusiasm and pride for their work, backed by a sound knowledge of the local area and a breadth of experience in the industry made them initially the right choice to represent our home. They became an even...

I want to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to you and your team. Over the past month you have done a fantastic job getting my house ready for sale and then successfully selling it, which has been so exciting, not sure how I would have done sitting through an auction. We really appreciate all the time and effort that was put in, which got us such a great result.
Gayle - Stanmore
I have recently been in a position where I have been selling 2 properties simultaneously; 1 in London and 1 in Sydney. The difference in the level of professionalism and more importantly urgency to get a good deal done was incredible. Ralph (under the stewardship of Peter Gordon) was absolutely tenacious in his efforts to sell my house. He would regularly show people through the property upwards of 5 times per week and was consistently proactive in keeping us informed on every step of the process. One of the worst...

I am very happy to provide the following recommendation for Cobden and Hayson Real Estate to use in any way they wish. When I had to contact a Real Estate Agent to list my deceased brother's house, the local bank I was dealing with suggested Cobden and Hayson and a few others. I looked into Cobden and Hayson and liked their knowledge of the area and their presentation. After contacting them, I was impressed by their advice and attitude and hired them as the agent. Since that time, they advised me,...

Julie was exceptionally professional without coming across as too ‘corporate’ or overbearing. She has a warm personality and is not pushy, unlike many real estate agents I have come across. After the sale, she was really helpful in terms of meeting up to allow us into the property to measure up etc. Before and after the sale, nothing was to much trouble and all queries were answered straight away. I would highly recommend Julie as a real estate agent.
Claire - Annandale
In early 2016, we embarked on the ambitious task of concurrently selling our three inner west properties. Based on our past experience (of local buying and property management) and owing to their outstanding local reputation, we chose to sell through Cobden and Hayson. We felt supremely confident from the outset that we were in the very best of hands with Danny Cobden and Ada Mastronado. We were guided through the process step-by-step, with responses to our questions always being timely and wise. Bumps in the road were managed professionally and...

Dear Danny and Ada, We just wanted to thank you for all your efforts in securing a fantastic outcome for us - we're very pleased with the price and with how quickly the whole sale process happened - when we saw the photos we wanted to buy it!
James and Fiona - Balmain
It was great dealing with Alex and his team. Alex has demonstrated his market knowledge around the area in the first encounter. Throughout the negotiation process, he has demonstrated his professionalism and fairness, which had removed a lot of unnecessary stress that usually created in this process. Alex and his team have made this process easier for us. I would highly recommend Alex and his team.
Nori & Kitty - Gladesville
Seriously what I liked about Alex and Angie was that they weren't pushy and they listened and kept us informed every step of the way. Most of all genuine and personal it felt like I knew them for years I will and have recommended them to people that I know and don't know.
Helen - Marrickville
One of the good guys! Alex was a fantastic throughout the whole process. As the property was unoccupied during the selling campaign, Alex was more than happy to open the property for us at any time of day without hesitation.....even on his day off! I would highly recommend Alex across any facet of the real estate business. We will certainly be calling Alex in a few years when we are ready for our next move.
Damien & Briohny - Leichhardt
Tim and Adrienne were wonderful ambassadors for the sale of my property in Drummoyne. They were highly professional, open, reliable and considered in their approach to the sale with all the interested parties. Their knowledge of the local area, combined with their passion for their profession, assisted in securing a sale in challenging market conditions. I am grateful for their hard work dedication and knowledge. I have no hesitation in recommending Tim and Adrienne and the team at Cobden & Hayson Drummoyne.
Julie - Drummoyne
As a commercial property agent, I am highly critical and particular of the sales process. Impressively, Daniel displayed a high degree of market knowledge and professionalism. Additionally, his vendor reporting was concise and straight to the point. Overall, a very well presented and professionally run campaign, achieving a record result for the building.
Tom & Annika - Drummoyne
We are very grateful for the recent outstanding work in the sale of our home at 14 Edwin Street by Daniel Patterson. The immediate detailed feedback on day-to-day buyer inquiries, open inspections, and offers submitted, was much valued - together with anticipated auction outcomes later in the campaign. His level of professionalism is not always easy to find.
Roslyn & James - Drummoyne
Ben maintained an excellent level of communication through both the sales campaign and settlement period. He was always transparent and easy to work with. Thanks for working hard for us when we had to sell in such a short period of time.
Gyles & Victoria - Annandale
Thank you for all you help getting the sale of our home over the line. Your efforts did not go unnoticed. You have a great career and a bright future ahead of you.
Anne - Drummoyne
I would like to pass on my sincere thanks to Chad Egan for all of his help and sound advice prior to and throughout the auction campaign which culminated in achieving a great result on the day. The marketing he suggested was outstanding and he kept me informed every day with updates via telephone, also providing a well documented written buyer report weekly. I would have no hesitation in recommending Chad to anyone requiring a genuine, honest agent who provides the best service 24/7. Thanks for making a stressful process...
Joel - Abbotsford
Selling our house was actually incredibly easy with Jono and his fantastic associate Steph. In particular, we loved that; Jono was realistic with us from the beginning regarding what sale price was achievable. They arranged everything from painters to gardeners to get the house ready to sell quickly. Jono is experienced enough to identify the serious buyers and negotiate hard to get the best possible price for the seller. No request from us was ever too annoying for Steph, she was a fantastic person to be dealing with during a stressful period. In summary we feel...
Campbell & Emily - Stanmore
I recently engaged both Mark Bowis & Ben Southwell from Cobden & Hayson to sell my home in Louisa Road, Birchgrove. Being a high-end waterfront property, being sold in challenging market conditions, it was important I engage agents who would be highly proactive yet strategic. Apart from being super professional, Mark and Ben worked relentlessly to achieve a successful sale in a relatively short timeframe. In particular, Mark worked diligently and closely with a number of discerning buyers - intensely negotiating till the late hours of the night on numerous occasions...
Cherie - Birchgrove
Now we’re dealing with the easy task of wrestling empty moving boxes in our new house i can reflect on the last 6 weeks of your work leading to the sale of our house in Gipps st Brichgrove. The results you created for us were above expectations and your entire approach was comforting and professional. Thank you. ( magnum of spumante is on order!) From our early discussions about the best sales strategies to the genuine sustained effort and commitment you all put in from start to finish, I’m happy to say...
Robert - Birchgrove
Its not often when buying a property that you feel like the selling agent is on your team. Not that they aren't on the team of the vendor but that they've found the balance of professional, friendly and authentic for both parties. That's how we felt buying from Alex Trovato and Daniel Patterson. Alex had a natural instinct about him - knowing what we wanted, needed and would suit us - that you don't often see in younger agents. Every interaction I had with him left me feeling heard, supported and...
Michelle - Russell Lea
We have had the pleasure of buying our first Sydney property with Rosemary and the team from Cobden and Hayson and we could not recommend them more highly! Rosemary has been incredibly diligent and always available to answer questions/solve any issues. Her manner is so calm and positive which we found very re-assuring. We really appreciated Rosemary's honesty and commitment to achieving the best result, both for us as the buyers, and for her vendor. Thanks so much, Rosie!
Matt & Pip - Balmain
We have used Peter and his Cobden & Hayson team’s services on both the buy and sell sides for two properties, our second being in Lane Cove. Peter provides an outstanding service from inception to post settlement. He has a genuine manner and gives sound advice given market conditions and campaign progress. We have always found him to be a trusted and honest agent, underpinned by a solid team that executes to a high standard.
Sarah & Miles – Lane Cove
Fantastic Customer Service, the best realestate option I have ever experienced. Off Market sale. Our property located in the Inner West of Sydney sold Off Market in a matter of hours, such a good option recommended by Alex. Also a very good sale price! Give Alex or the team a call if you are buying or selling. Very easy property transaction and I have done quite a few over the years.
David & Mark - Marrickville
Alex Mastoris surpassed all my expectations Words cannot express how wonderful Alex made the whole experience for me! He made a very stressful and overwhelming situation so easy for me. Alex is very professional, a great communicator and went above and beyond as a real estate agent, surpassing all my expectations.
Evy - Gladesville
Ben Southwell and his team did a great job of selling our house at Leichhardt. The positive impression we got about him through the agent selection process was multiplied during the sale period. Trustworthy, experienced, responsive and good communications made Ben a "trusted adviser" that led to a result we are very happy with. Jenny and I highly recommend Ben, Marcus and Alina.
Barry - Leichhardt
Alex and his colleague Kate could not have been more professional and helpful, during an extraordinarily tricky time to sell a property. We have used Alex before and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again if we were selling a property in the inner west.

Steve & Jenny - Camperdown
Alex and Kate were indispensable in securing the sale of my home. Alex confidently responded to the challenges Covid 19 presented. Predicting the impact on the market a sale before auction was achieved. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alex and Kate as they went over and above my expectations.
Michele - Enmore
Hi Frank, I like to say big thank you. I cannot expect anything more than what you have delivered. Your confidence, professionalism, strategic plan and creative thinking made the whole selling process much easier. This is the first time in my life to go through Auction process, can be very stressful, but you guided me through this journey and made this life time experience unforgettable and pleasant. This is my second property you have sold for me. You have created a miracle in my life. I will definitely recommend you...
Carol - Petersham
Excellent service! Very pleased Frank made suggestion as how to best get the maximum return on my unit. To be frank I was reluctant at first, but went with his suggestions. I got a fabulous price for my property and we achieved a price far higher than I thought possible. Very, very pleased! I highly recommend him.
Tony – Leichhardt
We met Alexander Trovato over 1 year ago, searching for the perfect waterside retreat for our retirement. He has been nothing but professional, courteous and conscientious. Patience is his middle name! He puts his clients needs first and always keeps us informed. He is prompt with answers to my endless questions! If you need to sell or buy, look no further than Alexander and the Cobden and Hayson team at Drummoyne.
Hilda - Chiswick
Trustworthy, caring, knowledge of the area, proactive and easy to work with. Alex and his team were hands-down wonderful agents to work with. They made the process of preparing my house for sale, and the selling process incredibly smooth and hassle free. I truly believe Alex got me the best result possible, and he worked so hard to get a great sale price. The entire process took only weeks, and the house needed significant work to get it in good shape, which Alex handled from start to finish. No fuss, no...
Yvette - Marrickville
Mario was highly recommended to us and really, he was even better than the recommendation. His advice from the beginning to the end was exceptional. He guided us through and made us feel confident in the whole process. He helped us to make the house look absolutely great so that it was at its best for an amazing result. He was considerate, knowledgeable with great integrity so that we could trust him every step of the way. I know that he was just as professional in his interactions with potential...
Anthea - Haberfield
Jono and Steph were the dynamic duo! Selling our place for a good price during a difficult COVID-19 period. They were always available for my many calls, great communicators, helpful, professional & fun all at the same time.
Jodie - Stanmore
Julie is an excellent agent. Truly the best I have dealt with. She has a rare combination of consummate professionalism and genuine warmth that supported us through the process of getting to know the house in a very short period of time. She anticipated what we would need and did it with a calmness and care that bolstered our confidence come auction day. Thank you Julie.
Peter & Kate - Lilyfield
Maggie & I are happily ensconced in Taroona Tasmania. We often pause to appreciate what a great job you did for us in selling 3 Reynolds St. Best wishes to you & your family … merry Xmas.
Rob & Maggie - Balmain
When it came to selling one of our investment properties, I knew that I did not need to look any further, and I trusted that Santos Sulfaro and Frank Sulfaro were the right real estate agents to market and sell our property. I knew of Santos' and Frank's stand out sales results in both the residential and commercial real estate market and their knowledge and awareness of the 'inner west' market, would lend an opening to achieve the best outcome in selling our investment property located in Leichhardt. Working with...
Maria - Leichhardt
Anthony has been my property manager for 2 years now. When the owner was selling the unit I was living in and it was time for me to vacate Anthony found me another place to live within a couple of days. He has been extremely helpful in all matters relating to the property. He’s a nice guy and great agent.

Joseph Karam was the perfect choice for us selling our property in Marrickville. He is extremely hardworking and will go the extra length to ensure that your property will sell for the best price possible. He is an excellent communicator, honest and reliable and his humour lightens up an otherwise stressful process. He was highly recommended to me by 2 friends who also sold through him, and I would not hesitate to recommend him as a top selling agent for the Marrickville area. Well done Cobden & Hayson Marrickville.
Bill & Rosemary - Marrickville
Chad is the most typical yet a-typical agent you would expect: he's super friendly, smart, works hard, diligent, has a great pool of potential buyers and off-the-market vendors, and is a great communicator - in short, the full package you would hope for in a top-end, professional agent. However, he is also so a-typical in a way that unlike the typical agent who is either super pushy and deal-oriented, he is super friendly, gives the vendor and the buyers enough room and space but with just the right level of...
Phillipa - Abbotsford
Alex's proactive approach to communication, market research/knowledge and process amounted to a great result for the sale of our property. He was confident, to the point and transparent throughout the campaign. We would highly recommend Alex and Kate as agents.

Exceeded all my expectations! Sam made the process of selling my property absolutely seamless. From the moment I met her she made me feel at ease, as though she had my best interests at heart. Sam advised me of the best options for marketing and property enhancements to ensure the best possible outcome for the property all whilst minimising costs. She organised all trades and ensured the work was complete to a high standard. I was kept well informed at every point and best of all Sam secured an exceptional result...

Mia made us feel comfortable from the beginning, was a great communicator, and assisted us with many aspects of preparing the property for sale. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her and her team, with her extensive knowledge and experience delivering a successful outcome for all. We feel incredibly fortunate that we decided to appoint Mia for the sale of our property, she is a champion.
Jacqueline - Ashfield
Stephanie has a wealth of information regarding sale price, area sale prices and what we needed to do to achieve a healthy price for the property. Stephanie’s knowledge of all policies and procedures necessary to make the sale run as smoothly as possible was remarkable. She was in constant contact, updating us with any and all information that she needed to sell the property. Stephanie was kind and polite in all communication, and went above and beyond was would be deemed necessary to sell the property. Extremely happy with Stephanie’s...
Kate - Stanmore
A delightful, professional exchange. It was a delight dealing with Julie in the purchase of our new home. She kept me in the loop on all developments, was honest and helpful. I never felt pushed or pressured, but professionally advised and guided through the process. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sales agent.
Amy & Nic - Annandale
Absolutely amazing! David achieved an incredible result for my wife and I in the sale of our unit. He provided an exceptional level of service to both us as vendors and to our prospective sellers. His professionalism, integrity and capability made the process completely stress free. He typically deals with sales in the order of several millions of dollars, but he gave our unit sale absolutely no less attention - we were in great hands and we felt it from the very start. From start to finish, he organized pre-sale fixes...
Charbel & Christina - Belmore
Smart, Street Savy, Strategic & Trusting. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for Steph when buying & then selling my house. I was extremely surprised by her ambitous project plan re: pre sale works & thankfully trusted her to organise and complete within the timeframe. She put a huge effort into every aspect of the preparation & the sale and it was exceptionally rewarding financially and sheltered me from a lot of the stress that selling can create. I particularly liked her low key, straightforward manner and trusted her...
