Sam was great to deal with and very personable. He had a good knowledge of what was going on and was up front when it came to expectations.

Sam acted for me selling properties in Daylesford, on of which took a great deal of patient negotiating on his part dealing with a very nervous offshore purchaser. He was exemplary in his tenacity, tact and diplomacy. We achieved what we wanted and the purchasers were happy. He subsequently found me a pearl of an apartment in Melbourne which he sorted for me off market at a most attractive price. He is a great communicator, keeping you right in the loop all the time. He also has a charming and straightforward manner, with a good sense of humour! I recommend his services highly.

I recommend Sam most highly. He managed the most appropriate styling, conducted a well targeted and organised marketing campaign keeping me informed throughout. At auction he achieved a sale price well above market expectations and I am delighted. He was a pleasure to work with throughout the challenge of selling my house.

San handled the sale of our property in October. At all times he was friendly, accessable and professional and provided valuable advice. The property sold for a price which was a little above my expectation. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone else.

Sam measures up well on all key performance indicators. He is in tune with the requirements of both the buyer and seller and communicates at a level beyond his years.

It was a pleasure purchasing my property from Sam. He was obliging, flexible and answered any queries I had within 24 hours. His follow up and attention to detail have been outstanding. He did an exceptional job for the vendor and purchaser. I would highly recommend Sam to anyone looking to list their property in the markets he knows. He managed the whole marketing campaign and was also the auctioneer. He is diligent and trustworthy.

From the outset you were unfailingly courteous, attentive, and helpful. You kept good records of potential buyers and kept us informed at every step along the way. We were delighted at the high level of interest that you and Abercromby’s generated in the property, and the way you attended to the many who showed interest. We admired the way you managed our expectations by indicating what sum potential buyers might be prepared to pay, and the care with which you informed us about the auction process and what might transpire there. In the end, as both real estate agent and auctioneer, you achieved a very satisfactory outcome, close to our nominal figure. We were delighted with that result. Your personality has made the process of selling the apartment a congenial experience for us; it has been a pleasure to liaise with you. We are impressed with your professionalism and your style. We know you will have a stellar career in real estate with Abercromby’s, and beyond. We can recommend you to others unreservedly. With thanks and best wishes Marian and Wes Fabb

What Sam did really well was to know the buyers. He knew exactly who would be bidding on the day. with that he was able to communicate to me the likely outcomes. Communications was great - he kept me informed of the visitors during the OFIs. On the day he conducted the auction very professionally. Good outcome.

In a business place where "some people" are not always upfront and honest, this was and is "not" the case with Sam.! We felt at ease dealing with him, and he was very helpful through the negotiating process. Would recommend Sam anytime.

Having had a false start with an inappropriate agent, who brought through loads of people who were never going to make an offer on our house ( e.g. first home buyers, people who told us they were looking for a flat and had been sent a text inviting to attend an OFI at our house) , we changed horses and chose Sam and Abercrombie's on someone else's recommendation that they were a company who could deal with the 'unusual'. Sam was on the ball from the start, and was showing appropriate people through from Day One. He had a list in the his back pocket of people who were asking him to keep an eye out for the unusual. Before the advertising was complete, before the launch had started, Sam had an offer on the table which was more than our reserve. We couldn't have been happier. Sam became our advisor as we made an offer on our new place and we were successful there too. Go Sam!
