I met Sam Kearney five years ago whilst researching the Forest area and was really impressed by his friendly and professional approach. He had a very knowledgeable grasp of the market and his communication skills were excellent. The other thing I saw in Sam was his high regard for his client owners. He patiently answered all questions from prospective buyers in a friendly manner whilst maintaining respect for the owners. I knew he would be the person to sell my house when I was ready to do so. Fast forward five years and I left a message for Sam to call me. He remembered exactly who I was and it felt like chatting to an old friend. He introduced me to his team, who were also brilliant and guided me through the sales process. I appreciated his honesty and integrity when we discussed a realistic value of the property. Their sales strategy was clear, organised and efficient, I was amazed at how seamlessly it all went. All the trades people Sam contracted to help get my home ready for sale were all of high quality and I have kept their contacts for future. Sam and his team were always available at a moment’s notice for any questions or concerns I had and my house sold before auction for much more than I had hoped for. I was absolutely thrilled with the result and grateful to Sam and his team for achieving such a wonderful result. I have recommended Sam Kearney and his team to everyone I know. And I would use his services again in a heartbeat. Their support throughout the whole process was exceptional. Thank you so much Sam!

I met Sam and his team several years ago during inspections when I was looking to purchase a house in Forestville. From the outset, Sam stood out as a highly experienced and knowledgeable real estate agent, very approachable and genuine. I purchased the house with great ease and confidence with considerable help from Raine & Horne and Sam and his team. Following that experience, few weeks ago I went back to Sam to ask Raine & Horne to sell my property. Thanks to his proactive approach and strong understanding of the local market, my home sold in just two weeks—something I never imagined possible! Sam and his team specially Skye supported me every step of the way, offering valuable guidance on styling, recommending small but impactful changes, and helping to position the property for the best result. When selling a property, you may require access to tradies for small jobs. The important thing is to have quick access to reliable, honest and reasonably priced tradies to help prepare for the sale. Sam provided contacts and they all did very well. His communication was always prompt, clear, and professional, making the entire process incredibly smooth and stress-free. To keep it short and sweet: I’m truly grateful to Sam, Skye and the team at Raine & Horne.

Sam provided excellent advice on how to present our house for sale and what we needed to do prior to listing to achieve the best result. He referred us to a wonderful team of tradespeople, cleaners and a great property stylist who did a terrific job in record time. Sam had a very clear idea of how to market our property which was spot on. He worked within an extremely tight deadline to achieve a really good result. His local knowledge and experience in the area was a huge plus and his team at Raine & Horne Forestville is outstanding.

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.

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.
