Connolly Walker Buyer's Agents

Living in Fiji and wanting to purchase a property in Sydney was never going to be simple so having Michael assisting us made the whole process easy and stress free. Michael was very professional, organised and understanding of our requirements, always quick to communicate with us and most importantly, had excellent knowledge in the Sydney property market.Michaels experience gave us the confidence that we were purchasing at the right price and we don’t believe we would have been successful without his negotiating abilities. We cannot thank Michael enough.

Engaging Michael Connelly from Cohen Handler as our buyer’s agent to help find our new home was easily the best decision we made in this process.Michael brings a lot to the table in terms of real estate knowledge, commercial acumen & professional integrity. He takes the time to understand exactly what you are looking for, is always supportive and removes the stress from buying a property.He has extensive knowledge of the suburbs we were interested in and a vast network of contacts with the numerous selling agents operating in our search area.I cannot endorse Michael highly enough to anyone looking to buy a property, I would certainly recommend his services to family and friends without hesitation.

With busy lives overseas it was difficult for us to devote the time, energy and effort required to purchase abroad so having Michael’s help was fantastic. He was constantly in touch, identifying opportunities both on and off-market and we often viewed properties ahead of other parties which put us at a significant advantage. Michael’s relationships with the local agents and his knowledge and experience in the market meant that we were always a step ahead. We wouldn’t have been able to secure our fantastic property without Michael’s help and we can’t thank Michael enough!

My partner and I had recently moved overseas to start new jobs in Silicon Valley so to say that we were time poor was an understatement. Michael and Hugh came highly recommended by a friend that we trusted, and provided the turn key solution that we were looking for to help us find an investment property in Sydney.The entire process was informative and frictionless. Michael and Hugh stuck to the key elements of our brief and we appreciated the vetting that was done ahead of time on each place - with pictures, videos and background commentary all provided for every property that was put on our short list. With access to pre-market listings they scouted out more properties that we could have found on our own.It was such a trip to attend our first auction while on a FaceTime call from across the world in the middle of the night! We had absolute confidence in Michael’s skills at auction and knew that he was motivated to get us the best price. Securing the successful bid while being thousands of miles away was exhilarating!

A frequent visitor to Sydney, I had been dreaming for a long time of having my very own comfortable pad close to my favourite areas of town. Michael was able to help me navigate the Sydney apartment market from abroad, something I had come to realise was very difficult to do on my own. He took the time to understand my preferences and to refine his understanding of them. He uncovered an off-market buying opportunity that I would never have found on my own, in an excellent location, that ticks all my boxes. Michael was professional, patient, supportive and diligent throughout the buying process and I would not hesitate to recommend him to any other buyer.

I had been looking to purchase a property in Potts Point for close to 18 months and nothing I viewed fit my brief. When I met Michael and Hugh, I took them to the apartment I was renting and asked them to find me something similar. They asked if they could find the owner of the apartment that I was renting would I be interested in purchasing it. A few weeks later I had made an offer to the owner, exchanged a contract, and I now own an amazing apartment that I love. A great result and the best part is, I don’t have to move. I definitely recommend Connolly Walker.

After looking for a property by myself for 5 months, I reached out to Michael and Hugh based on a friends recommendation. Within 4/5 weeks, Michael and Hugh secured a property covering all items on the brief. They are both extremely professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. The whole process end-to-end was super easy and they took away the pressure of having to make such a large financial decision. I don't think I would have been able to secure a property without their help. I recommend their services to anyone looking for a property in Sydney.

This is the 2nd property we have purchased through Connolly Walker and I cannot praise Michael and Hugh highly enough.We were looking for an investment property in the inner city of Sydney focusing on Potts Point and Elizabeth Bay.Michael and Hugh are highly skilled professionals, have extensive contacts to give you access to unlisted properties and conduct the due diligence on your behalf that is so important prior to making an offer.We gave them the go ahead to purchase the property on Friday afternoon. They immediately went into action, negotiating with the selling agent and organising their lawyer to prepare the contact for sale.They somehow managed to complete the sale at the price we wanted within 3 hours and the apartment was ours before 5.00pm.We’re were in shock that it all happened so quickly especially as the vendor was in New York where it was 1.30am. Without Connolly Walker on our side, we would have still been discussing what to do next rather than celebrating our purchase that Friday evening.I would not even contemplate buying a property without their guidance, expertise and support.

Michael and Hugh were always professional, prompt, and efficient in their service delivery and communication. I felt incredibly supported, understood and had a strong sense that there was no compromise in getting the best outcome for me. My confidence that I was making the right decision was boosted because I was able to draw on their invaluable knowledge, experience and skills. They helped me to secure my new home which I absolutely love and I'm so excited to move into it!! I can't recommend Michael and Hugh enough!!

This was my second purchase of an investment property with Michael, and having worked together previously I felt completely at ease that he knew what I was after and what would work to ensure the best returns. Michael provided great guidance and recommendations along the way, was able to jump at an opportunity that arose very quickly and managed to achieve a purchase price that I doubt I could have negotiated on my own. I can’t thank Michael and Hugh enough for all of their help and will definitely be returning to get their assistance for my next purchase.
