Since beginning his career in September 2001, Sam Gamon has built a reputation as Elwood’s number one rated agent – a trusted professional renowned for his dynamic auctioneering, sharp negotiation skills and unwavering commitment to his clients. With more than two decades in the industry, Sam’s track record speaks for itself: consistent suburb winner on Rate My Agent since 2017, finalist in the REIV State Auctioneering Championships, and ranked among Australia’s Top 100 Agents by Real Estate Business (REB) every year from 2018 to 2024. His success is fuelled by a deep understanding of buyer psychology, strategic campaign advice and an ability to communicate with clarity, supported by a Bachelor of Arts and a Diploma in Professional Writing & Editing. Sam’s strong base of repeat business and referrals – more than 90 per cent – reflects his professionalism and consistent results. “Every property is unique,” Sam says. “I work closely with vendors to create tailored campaigns and keep buyers engaged at every step, so we achieve the best possible result.” Specialising in coastal and bayside homes, from charming period properties to contemporary apartments, Sam expertly manages every method of sale whether it’s auction, expression of interest (EOI), or private treaty. Guiding clients through every stage of their property journey, be it upsizing, downsizing or finding their dream home. His personable style, comprehensive market knowledge and diligent follow-through give sellers confidence from the first meeting to auction day. Deeply connected to the community, he has conducted countless charity auctions over the past 24 years and cherishes the village atmosphere, tree-lined streets and vibrant beach lifestyle of the bayside area.

Combining his natural competitiveness with genuine care for his clients, he brings a unique energy, discipline and dedication to every campaign. Before launching his career in real estate, Corey competed in professional tennis across Europe and North America and played Division 1 college tennis in the U.S. That experience gave him resilience, discipline and a fierce drive to succeed — qualities he now channels into achieving the best possible outcomes for his clients. “I’ve always had a hunger to win, and I apply that same drive to deliver the best outcomes for my clients,” he said. Known for his personable nature and ability to connect with people from all walks of life, Corey builds trust quickly and communicates with confidence, clarity and empathy. “Communication is at the heart of everything I do,” he says. “I treat my clients like family because, during a sales campaign, that’s exactly how I see them.” That genuine care, paired with smart positioning, thoughtful presentation and data-led advice, has earned him lasting relationships, repeat business and strong referrals. Passionate about architecture and design, his enthusiasm for the unique character of each property helps him showcase its strengths and connect it with the right buyers. Based in Port Phillip, he thrives on the area’s community spirit and unbeatable lifestyle and feels privileged to work in such a vibrant and connected part of Melbourne.
