We talked to a few agents initially. Most were long on promises, disregarded market headwinds and talked down to us. After decades in industry, my partner and I were not impressed. However, we WERE impressed that Kevin answered all our questions honestly, had unparalleled local knowledge and was willing to acknowledge market headwinds. He remembered our names and always returned our calls - that might not seem a lot, but its gold. We took his advice on timing and pricing and sold in a month in tough market condotions. In retrospect it was an even better result than it appeared at the time. Thanks Kevin

Kevin is an outstanding agent. Because we’re interstate there was a huge amount of trust we put into Kevin and his team to lead the campaign and finalize the sale. We cannot speak more highly of their efforts. Kevin was always a pleasure to deal with and a reassuring presence during the whole process. He came up with a considered strategy that was effectively communicated and executed. The process of finalizing the sale was also equally painless. It was clear to us that Kevin places a great deal of care in his clients and is determined to get the very best outcome. Despite living interstate Kevin was excellent when it came to contacting us and we never felt like we had to chase him for anything. He dealt quickly with any issues that arose and provided quick and excellent advice when we needed to make important decisions. With Kevin you feel like your campaign is in a safe hands and the sense that nothing is left to chance. If you’re a first time vendor picking the right agent can be hard, but it is too important a decision to get wrong and find out later down the track that you’ve stuffed up. Take our advice, give Kevin a call and have a chat. You won’t be disappointed.

Review for Michael Cooney • From the very beginning, Michael guided us through the entire campaign with professionalism and care. • He was always respectful, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly — real estate made simple! • At times, Michael even played the role of counsellor — a true all-rounder! • He respected our pricing goals and worked tirelessly to achieve the best outcome in a flat market. • Although our home was passed in at auction, Michael didn’t give up. • He was an absolute superstar when it came to private sale negotiations — securing a fantastic price with two interested buyers! • We are thrilled with the result and so grateful for his effort and persistence. • If you’re thinking of selling your home in Bayside, we highly recommend Michael Cooney! Thank you, Michael! You’re a ⭐️ in the real estate world!

You will not regret listing your home with Kevin. Right from word go, Kevin was warm and friendly and we were never treated as just a seller. We consider Kevin our friend

Michael negotiated the sale of our long-held family home with professionalism, courtesy and understanding, mindful of our wishes throughout the process. He knew the market well, gave us realistic options and kept us informed at all times. I recommend Michael to other vendors in the Beaumaris area.

From the first contact that I had with Stephen, I was impressed with his open, confident and relaxed manner. He was always very efficient and prompt in all his communications.At all times during the lead-up to my property being on the market, he was very helpful and positive in his advice re presentation and tactics. Once the property was on the market he kept me fully informed about the viewings and the potential buyers.I think that he managed the final negotiations with a very high level of skill and professionalism. I am very happy with the outcome of my sale.

We cant thank Michael enough for his support while both selling and buying a new property. His communication was always very clear and guidance and knowledge of the local area was second to none.
