This is literally the first review I have ever written but feel compelled to tell our family story, as a way of helping others, when deciding on which agent to choose. Unfortunately after losing our mother and father this year, in close succession, we had to sell two seperate deceased estates, with two different agents and our experiences couldn’t have been more contrasting. We chose Ben to sell our fathers home and we chose another local agent to sell our mothers home, at the same time. We could not have been more happy with Ben. He was a complete professional, who guided us through the process and shielded us from a lot of the stress and irrelevant data, which really only adds to an already complex experience. He communicated in a clear and concise manner, without bombarding us with numbers and stats. He listened attentively to our wishes and needs, instead of talking over us and ignoring our concerns. The biggest and most important financial difference with the other local agent was that Ben was right on the money with his PRICE RANGE. Unfortunately when we chose the other local agent, we fell for the oldest trick in the book of going with the highest price range and this was our biggest mistake. I haven’t written this review to personally attack the other local agent, hence why I have not mentioned their name but I’ve done this as a warning to others, don’t make the same mistake we made. The other local agent was approximately 20% outside the final sale price and had to drop the price guide by $500,000 in the first week! We trusted her through the process and as a family, feel somewhat deflated and disappointed in the final price and process. We wished we had used Ben for both sales and feel very confident that we would have received a better price, if we had. We feel Ben is the agent you need, in a tricky market. He is diligent, works hard and is simply more honest and transparent. If you choose Ben as your agent, you won’t be disappointed.

Ben was easy to work with. Straight shooter without over promising. We were really happy with the result. It is always a difficult time selling and buying. His demeanour and professionalism was reliable. Hope to work with him again. Happy to recommend him. Would not hesitate.

We had considered other real estate agents to represent us for the sale of the property but Benjamin and Samantha became our best choice,a choice that was in fact the best. We have bought and sold many properties, on this occasion Benjamin is the best agent we have ever had, every detail was covered, his communication was immediate and the service exceeded excellent. We are very happy with the result. Thanks again Benjamin, Robert and Ann

My partner and I had a great experience buying our first home through Ben. Ben was very transparent throughout the entire process which I believe is a standard that sets him apart from other agents in the market. It was clear that he worked in both parties best interest and what he told us from the moment we first spoke turned out to be exactly what would happen. Upon agreeing a price Ben worked tirelessly into the evening to make things happen very quickly as we were under time constraints. Overall a fantastic experience with a great agent.

Ben was accommodating during inspections and answered any questions I had about the apartment. He gave me the right amount of space I needed to look around but was always on hand to offer me helpful and pragmatic advice about the apartment. Ben also shared useful tips that were important to me as a first home owner entering the market, which I hadn't considered. Thanks for helping me out in the purchase of my first home!

We believe our agent Benjamin Martin worked non stop on this sale to 'marry' a buyer with our home. His market knowledge is based on years of experience, giving us full confidence of his salesmanship. He knows what he's talking about when it comes to gauging the market. His communication skills are brilliant - highly respectful, courteous and a lovely demeanour. Benjamin's professionalism is next to none, which we believe makes him an extremely. valuable player in the world of real estate. He actually can make one feel very 'special'

Ben and the team were frank and open the entire process. Great communication and market knowledge helped get the deal done

We recently had the pleasure of working with Ben again at Probert St Newtown. As always Ben was friendly, approachable, knowledgable and great to deal with. Ben's knowledge of the market is very sound and at all times he remains very focused on his clients best interests yet at the same builds very good relationships with his buyers. I would not hesitate to recommend Ben to family and friends selling in the local area and look forward to working with him again.

I highly recommend Benjamin from CobdenHayson. He was very knowledgeable & professional throughout the whole process of selling this property. His experience shone through in the negotiation phase and was able to secure a great result. Thank you Benjamin!

He kept us constantly informed and up to date with what was happening. He is a professional, efficient and personable agent who knows the market very well. His easy manner, patience, and very friendly approach made the whole process stress free. Highly recommend.

Benjamin is very bright , polite and professional agent who knows the realestate market and has great communication skills

I was living overseas when the time came to sell our previous family property. Ben was our man on the ground. His great commitment to communication and his attention to detail made the process so much easier than it might otherwise have been. We trusted his personal touch and he surpassed our expectations.
