"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 better choice when I experienced the great communication skills they wrapped around all aspects of the sale process. There was always good dialogue around creating an effective plan of works to be done, organising tradesmen and tailoring a marketing plan for maximum reach. I received great ideas and advice and always felt heard and part of the process. This was backed up with great care and prompt attention to all matters at all times.
This attention to detail made the process so much easier for me and we achieved a fabulous result on auction day confirming that Jonathan and Julie were not just the right choice or even better choice -- they were the absolute best choice."
Julie - Petersham
"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
"Professional and thorough service. We recommend Julie from both a buyer and seller's perspective. Julie was extremely thorough with her approach to selling our property and gave us excellent advice and options based on her expertise. We were thrilled with the ease of the entire selling process especially during such a difficult time with the pandemic."
Christine - Rozelle
"Julie Hatch and Jonathan (Jono) Hammond recently sold our property in Stanmore.
They were an absolute pleasure to deal with, kept the process smooth and transparent and were always available to answer our questions. Julie's and Jonathan's knowledge of the inner west market is second to none and we recommend them wholeheartedly.
If you want experience, professionalism, patience and integrity with a healthy dose of humour thrown in you can't go past Julie or Jonathan. Thank you! Frank Garfield & David Butler"

Julie is an excellent agent and I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone considering selling or buying a home in the future."
Paula - Annandale
"Absolutely awesome!
Julie is absolutely awesome. She expertly guided us through selling our property. Being first time sellers, she made us feel reassured and confident. But even more than that, it was as though we were in it together as a team. You can tell she is someone who loves her job, will go above and beyond and has a great care for all the people involved. Balanced with a competitiveness to make sure we received a price that well exceeded our expectations!"

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
"Julie is a true professional. Her ability to relate with buyers, solicitors and tradespeople worked well to ensure a quick and smooth sale. Julie's in depth knowledge of the Real Estate market was evident upon our first appointment. I definitely would recommend Julie as an efficient and effective agent."
Bill - Lilyfield
"Hi Julie, just a quick email to thank you for everything throughout the sale of 40 Thornley. Your advice and expertise has been so very appreciated and you made the whole process for us a lot less traumatic and unsettling than it could have been. Hard to believe it was only 16 weeks ago we were toying with the idea! Time flies !"
Will and Amber - Leichhardt
"I had the pleasure of dealing with Julie as a purchaser. I was impressed by how helpful, pleasant and considerate Julie was. She was open with me and others about the property history and prompt in her responses to my questions."
Helen - Camperdown
"Exceptional agent! 10/10!
Julie knows the Inner West. She lives here and she loves it. She recently sold our home in Annandale. From the start, her approach was clear, honest and professional. Her attention to detail was faultless. She managed all the ups and downs and strange requests from buyers with grace and good humour. She handled the final negotiation with tact and care, wanting to do what’s right for us as vendors, rather than bagging a quick sale. We would certainly work with her again, buying or selling."
Melinda - Annandale
"I highly recommend Jonathan Hammond and Julie Hatch and their team at Cobden & Hayson Annandale. I was most impressed with their communication skills, friendly manner together with their thorough knowledge of all real estate matters in my area that was most useful in planning the best, most cost-effective strategy for selling my home that achieved the result I was after utilising their excellent negotiation skills. They were able to save us thousands of dollars on marketing by knowing what achieved results and what didn't. I strongly believe that they were committed to achieving for me the best possible outcome and they delivered."

"Great experience!
Julie was very professional and hands on with the selling of our property. She went the extra mile and I highly recommend her expertise."
Sandra - Lilyfield
"Julie was extremely good to deal with from our very first meeting, throughout the campaign and well beyond the sale date. She had sensible suggestions for presenting my apartment without going 'overboard' and I was happy to follow all of them. Her communications with me and with potential buyers were all thorough, polite, transparent and obviously based on a wealth of experience. She achieved an excellent price for me on the day and never lost her cool. I can't recommend her highly enough."
Barbara - Camperdown
"Above and beyond.
As a first time seller, Julie was incredibly patient and helpful. Being an investment property that was tenanted, there were various ways we could go about selling. She worked with all parties involved to get the best outcome possible. She made what could have been a very stressful experience a very positive one throughout. Her communication from the beginning to the end of sales process was great."
Kate - Redfern
"We couldn’t recommend Julie highly enough! We had total confidence in her from beginning to end, which gave us great peace of mind. Julie was so responsive and kept us informed every step of the way. Her years of experience was evident as she made all the right decisions for us and set us up for a great result on auction day."
Louise - Marrickville
"Julie helped me buy the house and then provided excellent support when deciding to sell a few years later. Always honest and realistic about market conditions and always willing to go the extra yard in getting the property ready for sale."
Heather - Leichhardt
"Julie is an excellent real estate agent who we will recommend to our friends and neighbours. The results speak for themselves – we sold at auction for $150,000 above our reserve, setting a street record and possibly a suburb record for a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom semi-detached house. We are thrilled.
We chose Julie because of her impressive track record for sales in the Inner West area. Her focus was on getting the best price for our house, which for us meant an auction campaign. Julie was involved in every step of the campaign.
Julie made the selling process easy, talking us through each step and what it meant for the sale. Julie organised for a home dressing service to style our home for selling, and many potential buyers commented on how beautifully it was presented. Her local knowledge was invaluable, and we were really pleased with her recommendations for a solicitor and auctioneer.
Julie was quick to respond to calls, texts and emails, and was available 7 days a week. She was always willing to arrange additional appointments for committed buyers.
We are so pleased we chose Julie as our agent and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to achieve the best price for their Inner West property. "
Jessica & Peter - Petersham
"I recently purchased through Julie and found her a pleasure to deal with and would recommend her for both both sales/purchase transactions.
She kept me informed throughout the process and went out our her way to assist by showing me the property on her day off and other times I requested at short notice . She also offered to meet me at my office for document signing.
She was very knowledgeable on the area and while trying to negotiate on price I did feel that she was being honest and acting with integrity in comparison to some of the agents I have dealt with.
Highly recommended.
"
Paul - Annandale
"I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work and for making one of the most stressful experiences a more enjoyable one! I really appreciated all your updates and calls throughout the process and your continuous drive to make sure I got the best deal possible. I wish you all the best for Christmas and a very successful and enjoyable 2017."
Veronica - Lilyfield
"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

I would highly recommend Julie - she is above all motivated and caring; as well as professional and knowledgeable. Cannot thank her enough for her support and transparency."
Maria - Leichhardt
"Thoroughly professional
Julie was completely professional and kept me fully informed of the progress of my campaign. Her experience and knowledge of property sales in the area was exceptional. She provided excellent advice regarding the presentation of my property and was always available for any questions. I received verbal reports after every open house and a detailed written report each week. Her advice on the pre-auction offers was excellent, resulting in me selling before the auction date. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone thinking of selling."
Brett - Annandale
"Trustworthy and Professional with Communication Skills
It was a pleasure working with Julie in selling my first property. She put me at ease and I trusted her completely from the first day we met.

Rhonda - Ashfield
"I can not speak highly enough of Julie's professional and courteous service. She kept me well informed throughout the sales process and went out of her way to help us."
Priscilla - Annandale
"I was so impressed with the way Julie handled the sale of my property in a tough market. While other agents in the suburb were panicking and clearly giving their vendors poor advice (based on some of the low sale prices they achieved), Julie kept a level head. She kept me informed every step of the way - good news and bad - correctly identifying the strongest buyer from the pack and expertly negotiated a price that I felt was very fair. ln an uncertain market, having an agent on your side with the extensive experience that Julie has had, made all the difference."
Veronica - Leichhardt
"The level of professionalism and hard work Julie delivered was outstanding. After a nasty experience with another unsuccessful agency, Julie proved successful on every front. Positive, realistic, exceptional and personalised communication and I recommend her unreservedly as a professional and great person to deal with who got the house sold and was a pleasure to work with."
Amanda - Annandale
"Julie pulled together a robust plan to help sell our house. She was collaborative and created a strategy that worked for us and also was designed to get maximum value for our house. We had over 150 groups look at our house and ended up with some very motivated buyers at auction."

Arlene - Leichhardt
"I have worked with Julie for the sale of two properties over the last few years and I continue to seek her out due to her professionalism, genuine care and consistent outcomes.
Julie is a rare agent who takes absolute ownership of the sale of your property from start to finish, and helps guide you through all of the details to ensure a well presented property, access to her client base and constant contact and support throughout the sale process.
Most recently, my property sold and settled within 6.5 weeks of the first open home, which is an exceptional outcome and is one of the many reasons why I would highly recommend Julie to help you with the sale of your home."
Julie - Camperdown
"Julie Hatch has sold two properties for me in the Inner West, a terrace house in Marrickville, and now a modern apartment in Rozelle. She has responded with great professionalism to the specific demands of each sale, putting her unique personal knowledge of the Inner West property market to great use, and achieving wonderful sales which are a tribute to her extensive experience. I can always rely on Julie to give me honest feedback on the market situation, and i have great respect for the respect she shows for both vendors and purchasers. It is always a pleasure to sell property with her."
Jennifer - Rozelle
"Down to earth with local knowledge
Julie was a pleasure to work with through our purchasing process. We were put at ease by her down to earth nature and we felt she was being frank with us. We appreciated being able to reliably reach her easily. Julie also had helpful local insights to the area. We felt Julie gave a fair representation of her vendor's interests and worked with both parties to reach a mutually beneficial outcome. If we are buying again or selling in the future, I would look to Julie for advice."
Catherine - Camperdown
"Easy, stress-free experience with a great result
I've used Julie to sell a couple of properties and each time she has been a pleasure to deal with. I love that she is a people person – interested in you and what you have to say, and what prospective purchasers are saying. She is a no-nonsense, straight shooter so you can believe what she tells you. Julie seems to love what she does and has a great sense of humour but also has sound knowledge of real estate and the market. In these tough pandemic times, she got me a great result before auction – I thought that would be impossible. Trust Julie's advice, believe her take on the market, and you will get a result ... and a pleasant experience to boot."
T Bancroft - Camperdown
"Honest, personal, friendly and super professional. Every step of the way from toying with the idea of selling to looking for a new home Julie has been immensely helpful and supportive. Her no nonsense approach to selling and buying is a breath of fresh air and her knowledge and personal interest in the property market is 2nd to none. If you work well taking advice from a professional and want an honest and seamless campaign Julie is a wonderful agent with bucketloads of experience and enthusiasm."
Amber - Leichhardt
"Very happy with Julie and Jono during the marketing of our house very attentive to our needs and pleasant at all times, we would highly recommend Julie and Jono to anyone wanting to sell their house."
Jane
"We can’t say how happy we are with the exceptional efforts of Julie Hatch and her Team. Julie did an outstanding job throughout the sales process, always keeping us up to date with weekly reports so we could relate to what buyers were looking for. From the word go, Julie gave us valuable advice, resolved our queries promptly and professionally and was always available for a quick discussion to touch base if required. Although we were a little nervous about on-line auctions, with Julie’s guidance and reassurance, it definitely proved to be the right decision! We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend Julie to anyone thinking of selling their property.
Thanks heaps"
Marco - Annandale

Dealing with Julie makes the transaction effortless. Julie operates with the highest level of integrity and professionalism.

Nothing was a problem for Julie, her over all industry experience made a positive impact on the final project outcome. Thank you
"
Harry - Ashfield
"I first spoke to Julie on the phone after my rental agent put me in touch with her. She promptly called me up and I was greeted by a very positive, enthusiastic yet soothing and refreshing voice as I was in a rush to make a sale on my property.
Julie organised to visit me at my home after hours which suited me perfectly after my working day. When she arrived Julie swiftly and confidently ran me through everything I needed to know and put my mind at ease that she had everything under control and she kept to her word.
My sale went through perfectly and I could not have been happier. From initial contact through marketing, negotiations and eventually sale it was all done without too much hassle.
I would definitely recommend Julie to anyone wishing to sell a property, she takes what she does with so much pride and commitment and if I ever need to sell again I will be in touch.
Thanks Julie!
"
Emma - Annandale
"Julie was an excellent agent
Julie was really helpful when buying my apartment. She was upfront with information and very responsive. She let us know of any movement happening on the property and made sure I was informed of any changes to strata and contracts that may have affected me. Thank you!"
Georgina - Leichhardt
"Julie Knows the ropes, always swings into action
I’ve been totally thrilled with Julie and her professionalism and her knowledge as an agent. Importantly, I trusted her and she delivered, obtaining a fantastic sales price for our home. We made almost $250,000 profit in just over a year of ownership – that’s outstripping any normal price growth in the current market. I’d recommend Julie to anyone selling …. as she’s a stand out agent with credibility …and that’s what counts. Thanks you Julie!"
