As a buyers agent i deal with sales agents every day however I was particularly impressed with my experience with Patrick Cosgrove during a recent negotiation and purchase. I found him to be a transparent communicator, polite and professional and he fought extremely hard to get his seller the highest price, clearly working in their best interest. It was indeed a pleasure doing business with an agent that truly cares about their client.
I recently sold my investment property in Darlinghurst with Patrick Cosgrove . Originally I had concerns that because of the value of this one bedroom apartment, that it would not get the full commitment of Patrick or his team at TRG. How wrong I was! Not only was Patrick focused on delivering the highest possible price, but he and his team worked around the clock to ensure I felt like I was on a plane sitting in first class. This was an experience, not only just a great sale price. Highly recommended. Thank you again Patrick and team!
This is now the second time Patrick has sold a property for our family and again I was absolutely blown away and delighted by the result achieved, especially in such a challenging market. From the time of our first consultation, Patrick explained to me the headwinds of rising interest rates and the impact it would have on selling the property. Time was of the essence and Team Cosgrove worked with us every step of the way to ensure our property came to market as soon as possible. Within weeks we had minor renovations completed using Team Cosgrove’s preferred tradespeople, finance in place to assist with selling costs, photographs, a floorplan, auction dates and everything else you can think of was smoothly facilitated by Patrick and his superstar assistant, Rhiannah Keuning. As soon as the listing went live, Patrick and his associates expertly handled enquiry and cultivated a huge amount of interest in the property. In the first week, we had hundreds of enquiries and over 30 groups through our first open home, the following Saturday. Whilst my partner and I were away, Patrick took the opportunity to take interested parties back through the property, on a Sunday no less and come Monday, we had 6 written offers to contend with. All of these offers were well above our price guide and Patrick could have easily convinced me to take any of them, but they didn’t push me at all but instead created lots of competitive tension with the interested parties and negotiated a fantastic deal for us late in the evening - Their motto was - “we’re not happy until you’re happy”. Patrick was up until past 10pm on Monday and the deal was done soon after. Four days on market with a really strong profit in one of the most challenging markets we’ve ever had - I couldn’t ask for a better result and will now be able to relax over the coming weeks instead of losing sleep each night wondering if I would lose money on our home.
“We have been property investors for all of our working life so have had many dealings with real estate professionals in this time. We selected Patrick Cosgrove to manage the sale of our family home as we decided it was time to downsize, and Patrick had approached us in the past to enquire if we were wishing to sell. At the time we were not ready, but liked Patrick’s manner and we agreed to have him keep in touch with his market reports and the occasional phone call updating us on sales related to our suburb. Based on our discussions over time with him, when we were ready to take this next step and list our home for sale, the decision of Agent was an easy one. Patrick and his close-knit team were the most professional people we have dealt with ever. From initial consultation to the auction night they proactively attended to all the marketing and inspection requirements in a precise but relaxed way, keeping us fully informed of all aspects of the process. They always did what they said they would do. They demonstrated honesty and integrity and we always felt confident their advice was based on their clear communications with the potential buyers. They did not inflate the likely sale price but gave us realistic expectations which were exceeded on the night it sold so we were ecstatic when the hammer fell. Buying and selling family homes can be a stressful and sometimes traumatic process but none of this arose in our dealings with Patrick and Daniel and that was all down to their high professional standards. We would recommend Patrick and his Associates extremely highly and are happy to discuss our experience with anyone wanting to find out more about this outstanding team of professionals.” James & Karen Allison
We engaged Patrick to market and sell our property. Throughout this process, he was always helpful, positive and responsive. He proved to be a lateral thinker by adjusting his strategy in response to changing market conditions and importantly, Patrick earned our trust. We will have no hesitation in using Patrick again and recommend him to friends. Vlad & Elena.
Patrick was prompt and on the ball. He chased up any information requested throughout the process. I would recommend him.
From start to finish, Patrick performed with a high level of professionalism and accuracy on the handling of the sale of my Woollahra Property, his market expectations were realistic and achieved in record time prior to Auction alleviating a lot of stress for the me. Their Open for Inspections were executed flawlessly as well. I highly recommend Patrick in this capacity, thank you, Karim.
After having a very unpleasant, unethical, and disappointing experience with a previous vendor and agent we were a little uneasy about the next time we entered the eastern suburbs property fray. We could not have been happier with Patrick and his team and the experience we had - from finding supporting information, interacting with the vendors to get our questions answered, opening the house for many off plan inspections and supporting the contract negotiation and exchange process to secure the sale prior to auction. I would have no issue recommending Patrick, and Raine & Horne Double Bay.
Patrick was recommended by family and therefor we had incredibly high and potentially unrealistic expectations. To say Patrick met all our wildest expectations would be an understatement. Not only did he achieve a spectacular result, his bright personality, thorough attention to detail and great experience provided us with the confidence to relax and enjoy the process as much as possible. Patrick's generosity with his time, his patience and perseverance are but a few of his admirable characteristics. All this coupled with the resources of an outstanding agency, I would not hesitate to recommend Patrick for the sale of any property, particularly your first. He is the real deal and we are eternally grateful and wish him continued success.
Great experience from start to end - professional, friendly, approachable and most importantly a man of his word. Never meeting Patrick before this sale, I picked him from a long list of agents based purely on my gut feel, I gained a great result and even a better friend out of this transaction.
