Sam Paynter was fantastic in assisting us with the sale of 206 Nott St Port Melbourne. His knowledge of the market was extremely detailed, and we are very grateful for the way he guided us through what can be a very stressful process with great professionalism and sensitivity. Sam and his team kept us well informed throughout the whole process, and the result on auction day was a testament to all the hard work Sam put in up to that point, and of course the way he ran the auction. Just brilliant. Thank you Sam, Elisa and Sam. I cannot recommend you highly enough.

Hi Sam, Colin and I were delighted with the result of the auction of my Father''s house. We were both very impressed with your technique Sam and were amazed how you managed to encourage the bidders. Thank you and Russ for making a difficult day easy for myself, Colin and our family. Regards to you both, Janis

Sam and Elise were very easy to deal with, kept us fully informed at all times and delivered a great result.

Sam was amazing and Elise too. So lovely, not pushy or full of talk. Honest, genuine people and just great to buy a house from! If I were selling, I would choose this pair. Thankyou so much!

I would definitely recommend Sam to family and friends to sell their properties. Everyone who came to our auction thought Sam was a great auctioneer. Sam kept me informed on a very regular basis of how our campaign was progressing and I always felt very involved in all the decision making.

Very happy with the whole sale process

The vendors of this property are very good, long standing clients of mine. When they asked me to help them find the best agent to sell their property in the Hampton area I recalled a conversation I had with a colleague who had engaged Sam Paynter to sell a property in the area earlier this year. It was clear that Sam had a good presence in the area based on his sale stats so I contacted him off my colleague's recommendation. I have worked in a professional capacity with many agents over the years and can say with absolute sincerity that from my first conversation with Sam I knew I wasn't going to have to look any further. Sam is a very good communicator who knows his core markets very well. His advice throughout the entire sale process was spot on, from presentation right through to what we could expect as a sale result. I was particularly impressed by Sam's ability to profile the most likely buyer of the property, which clearly comes from experience as an agent. On auction day Sam was incredibly confident and had a clear strategy for every possible outcome. Ultimately, the auction did not produce a bid, but Sam knew who the buyers were in the crowd and how to handle the pass in situation with complete authority. Within 15 minutes of the auction ending we had a very good offer on the table and were happy to take it. Sam's communication was calm and consultative, and never did he make my client feel pressured. He simply called the play as he saw it and gave the vendor the space to make the right decision. We were very happy with Sam Paynter's work in selling 7 Lagnicourt Street Hampton, and I highly recommend him as an agent to anyone looking to sell in the immediate or surrounding areas.

We had an extremely good experience with the way Sam conducted the whole sale process with our property. It was carried out with care, attention and complete professionalism from start to finish. From the initial engagement, through the promotional options including the property photography and accompanying descriptive text , the explanations of how the sale process would unfold over the campaign period up to and including the auction day was both thorough and complete. I was particularly pleased with the level of communication and feedback throughout the campaign which was even more frequent than the designated and detailed weekly campaign review process. With the level of detail and professionalism throughout it was therefore not unexpected that we would have the best chance of realizing the pleasing outcome that eventuated. I would not hesitate to recommend Sam Paynter, Elise Grant and Hodges of Brighton from our experience with them representing us in the sale of our home. They made a potentially stressful activity a non stressful event - we had complete faith in them throughout. So thank you Sam, Elise and Hodges for a job well done.

Through the entire process and hard work makes for happier clients.

It is with great pleasure that we write this testimonial for Sam Paynter at Hodges Brighton. We were very hesitant to auction our house as we have had limited success with previous properties. However, after our first meeting with Sam he put our concerns at ease. His professional and enthusiastic approach, together with the extremely detailed and methodical sales campaign strategy convinced us that this was the way to go. We could not speak more highly enough of the service we received from Sam and Eva during the campaign. The level of communication was extensive and ensured that by the time we came to auction we were very well informed and fully prepared. Sam auctioned our house brilliantly and we achieved an outstanding result. We would like to thank Sam and his team at Hodges Brighton and look forward to working with him in the future. Kindest Regards Phillip and Susan Spring
