PEARSON STREET BALMAIN EAST

VENDOR - ROSE

"Steph, you could not have been more focused, helpful, enthusiastic and calm to all despite changing variables. She showed prospective buyers the house at all times of the day and night to fit in with their requirements. We were kept up to date with comments from those who inspected the property, positively and negatively, and felt constantly assured by Steph despite the downturn in the market.  The property sold $280k over the reserve at auction. I can't recommend Steph Lees highly enough."

"Hard working, reliable agent. Helpful ideas in house presentation.Gave us a steadying confidence when the market softened a little. I have always had 2nd thoughts in using a real estate agent, but she helped take the stress out of selling and I would use her again."

WATERLOO STREET ROZELLE

VENDOR - CHRISTINE

"Stephanie from Cobden and Hayson, together with Peter Gordon ensured that the sale of our house was hassle-free whilst obtaining the best price in a HOT property market . Stephanie from recommending tradespeople to follow through of the work being done was always on top of her game . She not only organised everybody and everything but did it with a beautiful smile! Her professionalism, warmth and credibility will ensure that in future I will choose to partner with Cobden and Hayson, Balmain again."

PROSPECTIVE BUYER - NICHOLA

"Although we didn't end up buying a property from Steph, we were seriously looking at a couple of properties she was selling. Steph was very professional and helpful, without being annoying, throughout the process. I would have liked Steph to sell our property, but unfortunately we were selling outside of the areas she works in."

BUYER - SUSIE

"Steph was fantastic. She is very approachable, relaxed and cooperative. She went out of her way to show us the property again and to reassure and advise us about the area and the property itself."

COVE STREET BIRCHGROVE

BUYER - FIONA

"My husband and I met Steph very briefly before we decided to buy the property she was marketing. We were both instantly struck by her warmth, good humour and depth of knowledge of the area within which she works. Over the next 24 hours Steph assisted us as we negotiated the various steps required in buying a house and we found her to be unfailingly helpful, calm, courteous and an excellent communicator. Certainly as buyers we cannot recommend Steph highly enough."

JOSPEH STREET ROZELLE

VENDOR - LYN

"I cannot recommend Stephanie and Peter highly enough. I asked them to sell my house after such a positive experience buying a house that they were selling. I felt that whilst they were clearly trying to maximise the vendor’s outcome, they acted in such a way that everyone was really happy with the process and ultimate price. Steph and Peter’s deep experience and market knowledge are very clear, and their approach both meant a great outcome for me financially in selling but also took a lot of the stress out of the process. There were no surprises, they have a great network of tradesmen and stylists that I could access and they had great insights re market soundings and buyer interest, and as an added bonus they are both lovely to deal with and always displayed great integrity. I very much recommend them."

MANNING STREET ROZELLE

VENDOR - SOPHIE

"Thank you to Stephanie for the effort that you put in as part of the Cobden and Hayson team, for the sale of our property in Manning St. Stephanie managed all aspects of the interactions between various parties such as solicitors and prospective purchasers, seamlessly. I would have no hesitation in recommending Stephanie to anyone who is looking for a pleasant and professional agent to manage the sale of a property."

FOUCART STREET ROZELLE

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone and would happily engage her for any future sales."

EWENTON STREET BALMAIN

VENDOR - DI AND KERRY FRASER

"I couldn't fault Stephanie's expertise in selling our house. She understood our requirements from the outset and communicated with us at all stages of the process. Her extremely hard work was evident and she helped us achieve a terrific price. I would definitely recommend Stephanie in selling your house."

MAY STREET LILYFIELD

VENDOR - CATHY

"Stephanie's local knowledge, experience, sound advice and no-fuss attitude gave us confidence and comfort from the beginning. Peter, Steph and their team made the entire process far less stressful than it might have been in less capable hands. Any and all obstacles were handled in a pleasant, professional manner and without delay. This was no straightforward sale - involving complex dealings, old system title and a very anxious elderly mum. Their team displayed great sensitivity and thoughtfulness at all times and always sought to keep the whole process as seamless and stress-free as possible, especially for our mum. The same good things can be said of all the tradesmen and associated services that Steph organised on our behalf. Steph and Peter, through much hard work and determination, achieved a truly amazing result for us by sourcing and negotiating with a buyer at a level that meant we happily sold prior to auction. We can’t recommend them too highly or thank them enough."

 

BELMORE STREET ROZELLE

VENDOR

You made sure everything was running smoothly and on track at all times and I was kept informed of how things were going through good communication. As a vendor, it was great to know that I could call you any time with any questions or issues, and that you would have any problems sorted out for me so that I would have nothing to worry about in the process of the sale. I now know for certain that I made the best possible choice in giving you the job! "
