I have been buying and selling real estate since 1995. I interviewed Santos, along with 2 other agents to sell my Petersham property. The main concern was a neighbouring property, fully renovated, sold for the price we were hoping to achieve with our unrenovated property. Santos was the only agent who gave me confidence that he could get this price- and he achieved it! I highly recommend Santos if you are looking for an agent to sell your property.

From the moment we began working with Santos to sell our home, we knew we were in good hands. Santos was not only incredibly thorough and hard-working, but his open and honest communication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He kept us informed every step of the way, ensuring there were no surprises and that we fully understood every detail. He had an incredible array of trades at hand to complete works to our property, all of whom we would use again as their attention to detail was incredible.

One of the things we appreciated most was that there was never any pressure—Santos truly had our best interests at heart. His approach was transparent, and he made sure we felt comfortable with all of the decisions throughout the sale process. His expertise and trustworthiness are unparalleled, and we always felt confident knowing he was in our corner.

We would not hesitate to call Santos again if in need of an agent in the future, we are truly grateful.

The wonderful team At CobdenHayson, Ben, Tye and Melissa, have done an amazing job at selling our house in Leichhardt. We are very pleased at the great result they have achieved.

Extremely unprofessional. We were approved for a property, but two days later, someone named Lucy called us to provide more information. We complied and provided everything they asked for, yet they bombarded our current landlord with calls and texts as if people have nothing better to do than answer their phones. Then, despite all this, they rejected our application, citing 'lack of information'—after they had already approved us! This agency is disorganized, inconsistent, and a complete waste of time. Be very careful if you choose to apply through them.

We have worked with Santos Sulfaro and his team several times over 15 years and couldn’t be happier. Our latest house sale was unique and required some creative thinking. Immediately Santos demonstrated a passion and enthusiasm for our property that was different from other agents we talked to and made a huge difference to us. Santos listened to us, found out what was important to us with the sale and created a plan to maximise the intended outcomes. The first thing Santos recommended was partnering up with Alex Mastoris who knew the local area well. We were so grateful to Santos for making the dream team! The next thing was time, picking the best possible time to sell and giving his team enough time to put the plan in action. Santos used his industry contacts to style the house in a compelling way and have photography done differently, like an architectural magazine. Finally Santos designed an effective social media campaign so that when our property hit the market we felt all eyes were on our house. It all came together with a sale within the first 10 days of the campaign for a suburb record price. Santos guided us through the entire process for almost a year to bring an incredible process to completion. If you’re looking for someone with the experience to know how to best present your property and the integrity to look after both you and your buyers, look no further than Santos Sulfaro.

We had such a disappointing experience renting from Anna Muir and Daniela Azzouni at this agency. Aside from basic incompetence, their behaviour was pretty unscrupulous. We were paying a high rent between homes. Once we moved in we realised the stove, the oven and the dishwasher were all non functioning, as was the gas fireplace. It took six weeks to be able to have cooking facilities with no rent break. Then we were advised that the fireplace was not an ‘inclusion’ despite it being a plumbed fixture and not excluded anywhere. The owner decided to sell the house after our six month lease term, as presumably they could not afford the repairs. At which point these agents tried to have us pay for new carpets and floor sanding. They then suggested we take it up with NCAT and refused to delay the tribunal hearing despite my being in hospital after surgery on the day. All of this was so stressful and wildly unnecessary. The house was in great order and we had already been offered a lease extension when the owner had to sell, so we were in good standing. The way this agency is run and the culture is such that, we would never buy any house they were selling and never recommend anyone rent from them, or even place their rental property with them. They just take zero responsibility across the board. Interesting to note that the owner of this house chose a different agency to sell with. I have a rental property myself and would never treat anyone in such a disgusting manner, especially when high rent is paid upfront and on time. Daniela is in a position of authority and is absolutely dreadful.
Response to below- the exit inspection BY this agent did not mention an odour. We have this in writing. Our professional carpet cleaner did not agree that an odour was present. The carpets were removed by the owner subsequently and seemed to want to have some of their sale
prep paid for by us. This agent simply cannot manage to be truthful. They initially asked us to pay for new carpet and then new floor sanding. It was ridiculous. We had been in the house mere months with a fully house trained dog and the house has a dog door. None of this explains why we had no heating through winter and no cooking facilities for six weeks. Or when the toilet was overflowing when it rained, they wouldn’t get the drains sorted. We were incredibly patient, this agency simple takes zero responsibility for their professional role. They sent accounts that we had already paid for water, repeatedly. The entire dealings with this agency lacks experience and professionalism. I have two rental properties and would never put them with an agency who would treat tenants in this manner. The last time we rented between houses (same small dog) we received the entire bond back immediately. CH is a shocker.

Santos is an absolute area specialist - very personable, solution focused and left no stone unturned in ensuring a good result and ideal settlement terms for both parties, and within 14 days!.
Thorough with detail, a strong negotiator, transparency and open consistent communication was key. He made the process end to end feel seamless for us as a family.
I look forward to working with Santos and his team again in the future.

WOW WOW WOW. Ella Karpeles has only been our rental agent for these last recent months and the radical shift in management has been completely mind blowing 🥹 she’s been so attentive, consistent, relatable (easy to chat too!) and made any forms of communication simple and effortless. Whilst my husband and I have been looking for a new place to live as we just got married, her approach to ensure she makes this stressful time of changes of properties during Christmas so stress free!! We couldn’t have asked for a better agent! Thank you so much! X
