Danny Cobden

Sales Agent & Director

Danny Cobden

Danny Cobden is a name familiar to most local residents and a name synonymous with the prestige Balmain property market having been the owner of the business for over twenty-five years.

During 2020 he was responsible for the two highest-priced sales in Balmain including setting a new record price smashing the previous record by some $4.5m and maintaining his reputation as the area’s premium property specialist.

He originally commenced his career in Sydney CBD commercial real estate advancing to a Director of Richard Ellis (now CBRE) positioned in both Jakarta and Hong Kong prior to purchasing an existing Balmain real estate franchise in the early 1990s and subsequently re-branding to CobdenHayson in 2005.

Over the years, he has nurtured the business elevating it to be positioned as the dominant agency in the area and its subsequent expansion throughout the Inner West. The development of the business has included the acquisition of numerous property management portfolios resulting in the company administering one of the largest rent roll portfolios in Sydney.

Together with Matt Hayson, Danny's role is all-encompassing; from maintaining the overall control and direction of the business while upholding an unsurpassed sales record.

He has for many years consistently sold more $4m + properties in the Balmain area than any other agent, including major waterfront homes, commercial/retail properties and development sites.

Over the years, other personal achievements and previous records have included:

- Record price for a home in Balmain – Circa $11m
- Multiple Waterfront sales over $10m
- Set new records in Balmain, Balmain East, Birchgrove and Rozelle
- Over 100 major waterfront transactions

There is little doubt that Danny is the “premium property” specialist in the area and he attributes the key to this success as having established long term relationships, strong credibility and trust with both buyers and sellers in this sector of the market.

Providing quality advice is the cornerstone of the business which is underpinned by being the only registered property valuer active in the local sales market.

Client comments

"You did an outstanding job on the marketing and sale of our home. The strategy and tactics you employed were spot-on; the execution was great; and the result was fantastic. Congratulations, you continue to secure your place as the best agent on the peninsula."
Tim Pethik - Balmain
"Meeting Danny and Ada was most pleasant, a real delight. Both Danny and Ada were extremely professional and efficient, but jolly and gave us confidence in the whole matter of selling a real property for the first time. They kept us well-informed throughout the process. I was pleasantly surprised at how hassle-free the whole endeavour was, even though we were in a different country. Thank you both, Danny and Ada."
Ian - Balmain
"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!"
