You might think that these qualities would be standard for a real estate agent. Unfortunately we all know that they are not. In fact it is rare to find any service provider these days that does what they say they will do every time. Ben does. He was a pleasure to deal with, nothing was too much trouble and he worked hard to get the best possible outcome. . For an event that most people find stressful, it was surprisingly unstressful! Thanks Ben (and Ben).

I was recommended by a friend - whose judgement I value - to use Julie Hatch and was not disappointed. At every turn she was helpful and encouraging, negotiating several problems when they arose so I could focus on the task at hand. Both Julie and Hayley worked in a totally professional manner, assisting where they could to make the sale a success. Their knowledge of the market and the local area was invaluable. Throughout the entire process I really appreciated their encouragement, guidance and friendly support. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services!

Julie went out of her way to fit in around our schedule (as our purchase was made from interstate), not to mention she went above and beyond by driving us to the shopping centre on our settlement day to get necessary supplies. We thoroughly recommend Julie.

I have observed Julie Hatch working as a Real Estate agent for more than 25years in Sydney's Inner West and I have always been impressed by her level of professionalism. In late 2015 my husband and I very reluctantly needed to sell our house in Annandale due to family illness. We considered four different agents and selected Julie because of what she was able to offer us and because of her experience in the industry. Julie is an outstanding communicator and kept up constantly updated during the sale process. She also exhibited a high level of empathy during this process and, together with Hayley, made the sale much less stressful than it may have otherwise been. Julie's extensive experience means that she is able to advise on anything and everything from recommending builders to finish off small jobs to suggesting local solicitors to draw up the contract. We would not hesitate to use Julie and Hayley again if we found ourselves in the same situation and cannot thank them enough for what they did and for achieving such a positive outcome.

I have found Ben Southwell to be a personable young man who without a great deal of hyperbole has managed to help me purchase the property I so wanted without in any way compromising his first duty to his clients, the owners of the house I recently have purchased.Thank you Ben!

No hidden agenda, only helping the vendor and the buyer to reach an agreement. Straightforward and honest with the outlook. Very professional and communicable. Highly recommended.

I was introduced to Ben via a personal reference and as the property I had for sale was an investment property I needed an Agent who would go that extra mile as I was not going to be on site. What I needed was someone I could trust to know what was happening In the local market managing the auction process and keeping me fully Informed. After each inspection. I received a phone call with feedback on outcome as well as a written report of the week's results. I also appreciated Ben advising me where we should be and how we were going to get there. I was delighted with both Ben and his Agency and feel you should at least talk to Ben when you are considering selling in Alexandria, you won't be sorry should you choose to have him represented you.

Ben and the team at Cobden and Hayson were a pleasure to work with. They had our best interest at heart and promptly kept us informed on the interest/progress around the sale of our property. I highly recommend Ben.

Being a buyers agent I see the full range of real estate agents across the Sydney market. Having recently purchased through Ben Southwell I can honestly say it was a great experience. Ben knows the market very well, and importantly has great communication skills not just with his vendors but also buyers. Ben made the process easy, ensured at all times he was maximising the interests of his client but absolutely knows how to put a deal together. I would not hesitate to recommend Ben to any of my clients who are looking to sell. His honest and direct approach is a really refreshing one.

Buying a house can be a traumatic experience at the best of times. Ben made the whole process a lot easier with his personable style, frank and honest approach (extremely rare quality!) combined with a 100% attitude to resolving any issue. He was a consummate professional throughout and an absolute pleasure to deal with. His commitment to customer service has seen him assisting us in relation to the property, well beyond the settlement period, including arranging access to the house for trades, when we were on holiday. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone who is looking at selling or buying a house.

I found Ben to be consistently sincere and caring throughout the whole process of selling my mother's house. He had an energetic, fresh and upbeat approach to marketing the home. He achieved the promised results. I would recommend him.
