"Just a short note before we go to thank you so much for your efficiency and good humour in selling our place in a week. You were a joy to deal with and achieved a price well beyond our expectation. We would not have believed we are flying back to England 9 days after meeting you with the deal signed and sealed. Many thanks from us both."

"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 at the auction. The outcome and process absolutely exceeded my expectations. At all times she was professional, prompt and responsive. It was an absolute pleasure working with such a capable and professional team! Thankyou Sam!"

"I would like to express my appreciation of the efforts Samantha Elvy and the rest of the Cobden & Hayson team put into selling my house recently. There was no pretence, lies nor a hard sell, just an honest approach, with no false promises.
I found Samantha to be a woman of great personal integrity and determination, taking pride in delivering an exemplary service. During a somewhat stressful time where the market was in downturn, Samantha made it easier with great support, local knowledge, service and availability.
Especially of note were the extras provided, such as advice on presentation and provision of staging, alternative promotion and sales ideas, thinking outside the box with alternative ideas, etc. Going the extra mile meant a great deal to me.
I highly recommend Samantha and Cobden & Hayson."

Sam is brilliantly in touch with the market and knows what buyers want & expect. Sam handled all executional & administrative issues for me and ensured that I was kept updated every step of the way. Sam is a true professional, a thorough communicator, an energetic & passionate real estate agent who was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend Sam to all."

Stuart - Balmain East
"Thank you for your excellent and professional service in the recent sale of our home in Balmain.
The result you've delivered was outstanding, even more so in light of the challenging times that emerged around the sale due to the impacts of Coronavirus on the property market.
Our property was sold quickly and efficiently, off-market after many years of consistent tenancy management by CH (thank you also, Leigh).
Samantha, we believe that our access to your clear strategic thinking and strong network of qualified and motivated local prospective purchasers really made the difference in our sale."
Karen - Balmain
"Thanks for your help in navigating a difficult and emotional situation. Although we were sad to see the house go, you managed the situation with empathy and professionalism which ultimately resulted in a great outcome. Juliet and I felt that you kept us well informed throughout the sale process, and we trusted your judgement at crucial points.
All the best in the future.
"
Britt – Balmain
"After recently selling our home through Cobden and Hayson, I would highly recommend Samantha Elvy. Sam demonstrated an amazing depth of knowledge of the local Balmain property market and was able to give us some incredibly useful tips that allowed us to achieve a credible sale in a competitive market. Sam's persistence, patience and enthusiasm is infectious and admirable and we can't thank her enough for her help in selling our home."

"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.

""Dear Danny,
I am writing to say how happy I am that I chose Sam to act as my agent.
I picked her initially because of her enthusiasm and larger-than-life presence when some other agents appeared to be phoning it in and she maintained this attitude unfailingly throughout the process.
She was the only one to suggest back-selling my property with a minimum of marketing expense and hoopla and, indeed, had it sold within a fortnight. She recommended a terrific gardener and an excellent home stylist and did everything she could to minimise any work or stress to me.
I would recommend her to others, in fact I have already done so.
"

"We have had the pleasure of both buying and selling with Sam. On both occasions her knowledge, communication and professionalism has been outstanding. We found Sam to be reliable, committed and honest."
