16 OLOLA AVEVAUCLUSE

Purchase price:

x5 Bedrooms x4 Bathrooms

Not Disclosed

This client was a family who were looking to upsize their house - Vaucluse is one of the most prestigious suburbs in Sydney right now, and this particular property is made even more special by the fact that it’s within walking distance to the beach!

For a family, that’s pretty much the perfect start to life that parents can give their kids. We’re very happy to have helped them with this opportunity.

41 EASTON ROADBEROWRA HEIGHTS

Purchase price:

x2 Bedrooms

$667,500

This client was seeking a property for their primary residence in the short to medium term which would later form part of their investment portfolio. It was important to the client that significant value could be added by renovating or extending as they have vast experience in this field, and capital gains abound!

The overall budget was limited and they realised that the opportunity of purchasing a house with land would have greater long-term benefits than opting for an apartment, which could potentially be quite limiting, and this Easton Road home was presented to them. After the first viewing, the potential to create a larger family home on a large block of land was immediately realised, and this led to securing the property for a very good price.

x2 Bedrooms x1 Bathrooms x1 Parking

This couple were looking for their first home, and Rose Bay really stood out to them as the place to be. Looking for a two-bedroom, one-bathroom property, our buyer’s agent got to work and the clients were delighted with this particular home.

Buying your first home can be a real challenge - especially in the current market and with so much competition. Our services are truly helpful to people in situations such as this, and we’re very pleased to be able to help first home buyers get onto the property ladder.


15 STEWART STREETNORTH BONDI

Purchase price:


Not Disclosed

A young couple wanting to upgrade their home specifically in North Bondi - we found this home for them before market. However, the seller wanted to put it in the public forum, and even with the increased competition around the home, we secured it for our clients before auction.

Stunning landscaping and wide-open living spaces are exactly what the client wanted, and they’re delighted with what we found for them.


BELLEVUE HILL

Purchase price:


Not Disclosed

These clients had missed out on a number of apartments during their tenuous property search on their own. After hearing about Cohen Handler, they decided to book in a consultation, and from there they immediately moved forward with the service.

Straightaway they were sent a number of apartments. They were escorted through the Bellevue Hill property in a private inspection, fell in love immediately and from there the team moved quickly to carry out all of the due diligence required. We secured the home and our clients are, once again, happy campers indeed.

DARLING POINT

Purchase price:


Not Disclosed

The client had been looking for many months on their own with an incredibly difficult brief prior to engaging with us.

They had very specific requirements, which we were able to fulfil, and do so within her budget to boot! We managed to successfully purchase a property with water views over Rushcutters Bay Park and Sydney Harbour before auction, after having presented this property to them whilst it was off-market. They are over the moon with the result!

11 GLENFIELD DRIVECURRANS HILL

Purchase price:


$550,000

The client was a first home buyer and did not have experience or skills with regards to purchasing. Her concern was that she could be misled by real estate agents and had no clue where to buy. Property is positioned perfectly on the block of land so there is an opportunity to develop a granny flat on the side. This will allow the properties to be segregated somewhat, which allows more privacy.

Similar properties in the area have been selling for $570,000, so this was a fantastic purchase.

80 MURRIVERIE RDNORTH BONDI

Purchase price:


Not Disclosed

We found this property for our client before it made its way onto the open market, and the client absolutely fell in love with it. We enquired about the purchase price and the seller was adamant that the home would go on the public market - even with this approach, we managed to secure the home pre-auction and in a very competitive environment, no less.

A beautiful backyard with some gorgeous features makes this home stand out as a truly unique attraction, and the client couldn’t be happier.

Purchase price: $380,000

For this fantastic property purchase, the client was a buyer’s agent from Cohen Handler who was looking to diversify their portfolio outside of Sydney. They chose to work with Jordan Navybox to tap into the great affordability that the south-east of Queensland currently has to offer.

Within 10 days of the search, Jordan was able to secure an off-market property in one of Brisbane’s most sought-after streets. The last sale in the complex for a similar floor plan was $450,000, so this purchase really represents great value buying.



7/10 WARNERS AVENUENORTH BONDI

Purchase price:


$750,000

Our client was looking to start a property portfolio in order to provide some future financial security for his young family. He came to one of the Westpac investment seminars, invited by his mortgage broker. Within a matter of a few months, buyer’s agent Walter Nanni had presented two potential properties and we were the underbidder on one of those - meeting the brief of the investment needing to have strong return and good capital growth potential.

The property is a two-bedroom unit in an art-deco block, just a short walk to Bondi Beach. We managed to secure it prior to auction and the client was very pleased.

This client was an investor looking to purchase in one of Sydney’s emerging inner-city markets. They required guidance on the ultra-competitive market, and within a short period of time our team at Cohen Handler narrowed down their search, and exchanged on an apartment that ticked all of the client’s requirements. This represented fantastic quality buying in a very tough market, and our client couldn’t be happier!

This client had very specific purchasing requirements, and our Cohen Handler buyer’s agent believes this Edgecliff home was the perfect fit for them.

What’s more, it came in under the budget they had initially set out, and that makes the purchase all the more sweet! The modern apartment has a balcony and offers fantastic value close to amenities.


306/2-6 GOODWOOD STREETKENSINGTON

Purchase price:

This home is perfectly placed around the new light-rail construction, which will truly revolutionise the public transport industry around the region. It will also help to add capital gains down the track, and that’s what the client was after!

This brand new two-storey home has a modern design that makes a real statement from the street, and there is always something a little more special about moving into a brand-new home. It allows you to make it your own, and that’s what our client wanted. Another great find from our buyer’s agents.

Purchase price:

This client was an investor looking purchase in one of Sydney’s emerging inner-city markets. Being that they were extremely time-poor, they were referred to Cohen Handler because of our buying expertise. Within a short period of time, the team narrowed down their search, and we managed to agree on this fantastic piece of property.

Our client is thrilled, and we are for them as well!


10/55 KANGAROO STMANLY

Purchase price:


$1,080,000

This client was keen to start his investment portfolio with a quality property that offered a great yield and good capital growth. 10/55 Kangaroo Street immediately ticked a lot of boxes such as being on the top floor of a small block of 12, with a balcony, water views from just about everywhere, large double parking, two generous double bedrooms and easy access to the beach and local amenities.

It was too good to risk letting this home go to auction so we made sure to waste no time in securing a purchase prior to going under the hammer.

10 MEGALONG CRESCENT CAMPBELLTOWN

Purchase price:


Not Disclosed

This client is an overseas buyer looking to resettle in Australia a few years down the track, which is the reason for her investment purchase.

She was initially looking for a property that was located perfectly for public transport, schools and shopping precincts while delivering a good rental return. This particular property will also see strong capital growth in years to come, making it perfect. The Cohen Handler buyer’s agent was able to inspect the property prior to the first open home.

There was a lot of interest in this property and the vendor was already considering a strong offer. We were able to understand the vendor’s requirements and tailored an offer that suited both parties. Our client is very happy with the outcome - so much so, they are purchasing a second property!

36 SELDON STREETQUAKERS HILL

Purchase price:


$700,000

The client was seeking guidance and support with regards to their next investment purchase as they didn’t want to make the same mistake twice.

The brief was very specific and challenging as this next investment had to be the right one to set them up long term. The property must be within 15 to 20 minutes walking distance to Schofields train station as the area is being redeveloped and a major shopping centre is set to come through. New blocks of land adjacent to this property sell from $450,000 and only go up from there, and that’s for a place half the size of the number 36.

8/111 MORETON STNEW FARM

Purchase price:


$335,000

This client was looking to buy into a premium suburb of Australia; however, the average two-bedroom unit price in Sydney’s premium suburbs is over $900,000.

They decided to target Brisbane, a city in which we were able to secure this unit in New Farm for nearly a third of the price of the equivalent in Sydney. We managed to buy the property pre-market and hence had reduced competition to negotiate to only $335,000. There is another renovated unit in the same building on the market with a smaller floor plan that has received offers over $390,000.

86/54 VERNON TERRACETENERIFFE

Purchase price: $635,000

The client was looking for an alternative to the Sydney market, though had little experience with interstate investing.

As such, they appointed a Cohen Handler buyer’s agent to source a property in Brisbane, which we were able to turn around in under 10 days. The property was purchased for $635,000 and the most recent sale in the complex for a comparable unit was $695,000. This represents fantastic buying for the party and we couldn’t be happier for them.
