We are both early 60s and were nervous about the large decision on selling our family home and then buying in a new area for us. We immediately loved this place but need to sell first to know if we could be in the market. Mark was immediately attentive, informative and encouraging even though we may not have been able to be genuine buyers. Once we sold, he continued in that vein, available but not pushy. His style really helped us work through and make our decision and our offers in our own time. We have also appreciated his service and support since the immediate sale was made. His professionalism has been first class. He of course represents the vendor but brings with that a really good balance of working with us, the buyers. He and Liz work really well together which means one is always available

We had a great experience selling our apartment with Mark and Liz at Cobden & Hayson. As we were interstate for most of the campaign they managed everything from property preparation, styling and staging through to buyer feedback and regular updates, making the process seamless and stress-free. Together, Mark and Liz worked as a highly effective team and guided us through every step of the sale. Their local market knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail were excellent. They were always realistic, proactive and committed to achieving the best possible outcome for us. We were extremely pleased with both the process and the result, and would highly recommend Mark,Liz and the Cobden & Hayson team to anyone considering selling their property.

We recently purchased an investment property through Mark and had a very positive experience from start to finish. He was professional, approachable and consistently responsive. His knowledge of the local market gave us confidence that we were making an informed decision, and we appreciated his honest and transparent approach. Overall, Mark was a pleasure to deal with and helped make the buying process smooth and efficient. We would happily recommend him to anyone looking to purchase or sell in the area.

I had a great experience working with Mark on the sale of my property in Balmain. Mark provided clear, data-driven advice from the outset and ran a well-structured campaign. He was highly professional, organised and communicated consistently throughout the process, ensuring I always felt informed and confident in the approach being taken. He has a strong understanding of the local market and brought a calm, measured approach that made the entire experience feel smooth and well managed. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone considering selling in the Inner West.

I am thrilled with the outcome of the sale of my unit. Thank you for your hard work and expertise which has led to the result. I know this little unit generated multiple inspections . it was clear you had a lot of buyer communications to deal with. Thank you for organising all the pre-sale work also : re- painting, choosing carpet colour, styling and cleaning. I felt totally confident following your expert advice.

We would like to convey our thanks to Mark and the Cobden Hayson team for their exceptional professionalism throughout the sales process of our property in Birchgrove. Mark was an outstanding communicator—highly responsive, knowledgeable about the current market, and consistently able to instil confidence. Mark worked alongside Liz on our listing where their responsiveness to us as the sellers provided strong reassurance that the buyers were receiving the same high standard of communication and service. All important discussions were followed up with clear and timely written communication, ensuring accuracy and transparency at every stage. Mark's attention to detail in relation to the property was exemplary and made us feel fully supported and genuinely partnered in the journey to achieving the best outcome. Mark demonstrated a high level of expertise in navigating the housing market and showed a strong ability to adapt effectively as market conditions evolved. We would not hesitate to recommend Mark and the Cobden Hayson services.

Ours was a deceased estate disposal of the family home. Mark was sympathetic to our needs. Mark worked everyday to coordinate an on target refurbishment of the home, fantastic marketing plan and committed to me and my sister separately throughout the process. His briefings to us were terrific and he managed to remove the anxiety from an extraordinarily emotional time. I cannot recommend Mark’s services more highly.

Mark achieved a great result selling the home we had bought from him 16 years ago. The strategy, planning and execution was spot on. I particularly enjoyed his professionalism, the level of skills and experience he brought in and his friendly manners.

A wonderful agent - gave us reliable advice, guided us through the process in a way that was completely stress-free for us, put together a brilliant campaign, and secured an excellent result. We are very impressed with his professionalism, clear communication, and obvious expertise.

We've been fortunate enough to have Mark represent us in two property sales over the course of the last decade, and have never met another agent with the level of care, attention to detail, transparency and kindness that Mark brings with every interaction. We trust Mark implicitly and he has never let us down - always going above and beyond to ensure we got the best possible price for our property. He has an intimate understanding of the area and the market and is extremely professional with everyone he works with; from my wife and I as sellers, to potential buyers and additional trades Mark helped us to secure to get our property ready for sale. He has a wide and personally vetted network of professionals at his fingertips, offering clients a full team of experts to help them sell. I cannot recommend Mark highly enough - he is a brilliant agent, a trusted adviser and a friend.

Mark impressed me from day 1 with his down to earth communication, professionalism and market knowledge. We were guided confidently every step of the way. Inclusive with family members and aware of the emotional journey we were on selling a family home. We thank Mark and know how strong his work ethics are. Would not hesitate to recommend Mark at all.

Mark guided us through the process from start to end in a very professional and a detailed way. This gave us the confidence in the process, which resulted in the sale meeting our expectation prior to auction. I am very complimentary to Mark for representing us as our agent
