Professional, knowledgeable, dedicated and honest.

We highly recommend Sam Pfafflin and Kristy Donkin from Raine & Horne Forestville who recently helped us with the sale of our Frenchs Forest family home. From the initial contacts to the actual sale, we felt we were in good hands. For the house preparation and presentation, we used all their recommended trades, which made the process smooth, efficient and stress free. We were impressed by Sam and Kristy’s level of dedication and availability. Although we knew they were extremely busy, no matter the question or the time of the question, we would receive a reply almost instantly. We trusted their advice and knowledge of the local market and were not disappointed. We feel we achieved the best possible outcome in the current market and do highly recommend Sam and Kristy to anyone looking at selling their property. We equally recommend the agency for their rental services.

REVIEW KRISTY DONKIN AND SAM PFAFFLIN  RE SALE 10/691-695 Warringah Rd, Forestville.

REVIEW KRISTY DONKIN AND SAM PFAFFLIN RE SALE 10/691-695 Warringah Rd, Forestville.

I was very fortunate when I approached Kristy Donkin and Sam Pfafflin as the team to sell my unit. They instilled a confidence in me that made all the difference throughout the process. I dealt primarily with Kristy who was very approachable and dealt patiently and promptly with all my questions. I was so appreciative when she explained matters in a way I could understand and when I asked to put them in writing nothing was too much trouble. When Kristy was not available Sam was equally pleasant and efficient keeping me updated all the way. Kristy dealt with the bidding and as it got underway she kept me in the loop the entire time and it is to her particularly that I not only got the price I was hoping for but it exceeded my expectations. Kristy and Sam’s professionalism, friendly demeanor and the effective outcomes they pursued, ensured that what could have been a very stressful and problematic experience was quite the opposite, resulting in a very successful result. I am very appreciative to both Kristy and Sam for their expertise, goodwill and friendly manner.

A highly professional marketing strategy with excellent results

Sam and his team worked extremely hard to ensure the product was marketed to the widest potential clients. The attention and access given to possible buyers was far more than expected but very welcome. Overall, an outstanding result for a highly professional outfit.

Sam was extremely committed to my best interests & the result of the sale. The property was a difficult property to sell but Sam was committed to my best interests & the best sale result possible. I would definitely recommend Sam to any future vendor thinking of selling their property. I would definitely sell with Sam again.

Put your trust in Sam with absolute confidence

Selling a home, particularly a deceased estate, is difficult and stressful at the best of times. We are so grateful to have had Sam Pfafflin and his team handling our sale. Sam's local knowledge of the area and the buyers is second to none. Sam was thoroughly professional at all times, and his deft handling of the complex family dynamics at play was a testament to his skill and wealth of experience. Sam's communication throughout the whole process was fantastic. We put our trust in Sam and that trust was rewarded with an outstanding result. Thanks Sam!

You don't get to be the top-selling agent in your area by accident!

You don't get to be the top-selling agent in your area by accident!

I've bought and sold property through Sam Kearney, so I've dealt with him on both sides of the property equation. It was because I was so impressed with him when we bought the property that we had no hesitation in going back to him when we needed to sell it five years later. I have found him to be an agent of the highest integrity and that gives you peace of mind when you are going through a very stressful situation. I think it's fair to say that Sam is the number one agent in Forestville by some considerable distance for a reason. The sales figures do not lie.
