Fantastic communication and very easy to deal with! Great all-round service!

Big thanks to Sam Pfafflin and the team at Raine & Horne Forestville - Frenchs Forest for the successful sale of our property. Sam and Kristy were an absolute pleasure to deal with. They provided advice and guidance when needed without being pushy and always kept us up to date. From the start they made us feel like we had made a great choice using the R & H team. Their expertise through the sale process from start to finish made it a simple and stress free experience. I'd happily recommend their team to anyone thinking of selling.

Reliable, trustworthy and Honest

I've known and engaged Sam's help across a number of properties over the past 14 years or so, both in selling and managing properties. He has consistently been reliable, trustworthy and honest, and manages a great team at R&H Forestville who also work tirelessly behind the scenes. There are a lot of new players in the Real Estate space, not all have the lived experience and history with this area of Sydney. Please don't base your decision on promises of a high returns, or those who prefer to under promise and pretend to over deliver. Straight shooters are hard to find and for that, I cannot recommend higher than Sam and this team.

We can't say enough good things about our experience working with Sam! From the very beginning, he was professional, responsive, and genuinely dedicated to helping us achieve our real estate goals. Whether it was answering our many questions, organizing viewings on short notice, or providing honest advice, Sam was always one step ahead. What truly set him apart was his deep knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and ability to make the entire process smooth and stress-free. He listened carefully to what we wanted, advocated for our interests, and guided us every step of the way — from the initial search to the final closing. We felt confident and supported throughout the entire journey, and we’re beyond thrilled with the outcome. If you're looking for a real estate agent who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares, look no further. Sam is simply the best! Highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of working with Sam during my recent property journey, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From our first meeting, Sam was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. He took the time to truly understand my needs and was always available to answer questions or provide guidance, no matter how big or small. What stood out most was Sam’s honest and calm approach. He never pressured me and was always transparent about the market and what I could realistically expect. His local expertise and strategic advice made a real difference, and I felt supported every step of the way. Whether you're buying or selling, Sam is the kind of agent you want on your side—reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely committed to achieving the best result for his clients.

Seamless experience

Sam is one of the most honest and competent agents we ever have met. He is efficient, hard working and a skilled communicator and negotiator. We rented our property through his agency for almost two years and sold our property with him directly and the entire experience couldn't have been easier or better managed. We wouldn't go anywhere else when needing an agent again.

Exceptional Local Knowledge and Worked Hard to Achieve A Great Result

Sam provided excellent advice on how to present our house for sale and what we needed to do prior to listing to achieve the best result. He referred us to a wonderful team of tradespeople, cleaners and a great property stylist who did a terrific job in record time. Sam had a very clear idea of how to market our property which was spot on. He worked within an extremely tight deadline to achieve a really good result. His local knowledge and experience in the area was a huge plus and his team at Raine & Horne Forestville is outstanding.

Professional, knowledgeable, dedicated and honest.

We highly recommend Sam Pfafflin and Kristy Donkin from Raine & Horne Forestville who recently helped us with the sale of our Frenchs Forest family home. From the initial contacts to the actual sale, we felt we were in good hands. For the house preparation and presentation, we used all their recommended trades, which made the process smooth, efficient and stress free. We were impressed by Sam and Kristy’s level of dedication and availability. Although we knew they were extremely busy, no matter the question or the time of the question, we would receive a reply almost instantly. We trusted their advice and knowledge of the local market and were not disappointed. We feel we achieved the best possible outcome in the current market and do highly recommend Sam and Kristy to anyone looking at selling their property. We equally recommend the agency for their rental services.

Absolutely committed to looking after the interests of the vendor

Sam was extremely committed to my best interests & the result of the sale. The property was a difficult property to sell but Sam was committed to my best interests & the best sale result possible. I would definitely recommend Sam to any future vendor thinking of selling their property. I would definitely sell with Sam again.
