Raine & Horne Five Dock

Local expertise and depth of experience. I bought and sold the same property, with Sam as the agent, ten years apart.

Sam and his team were extremely knowledgeable about the local market. Sam himself has worked and lived in Five Dock, including in the block where the property was.

Sam and team are experienced identifying and targeting the potential buyers in the market. In some cases he was the agent for the sale of their house as they downsized to an apartment.

Sam’s traditional marketing and sales approach, without bells and whistles, identified and targeted the right buyer, which resulted in a sale. Given the economic conditions and the Five Dock market the result was above market estimates.

And that’s why I both bought and sold the property with Sam as the agent.

I cannot speak highly enough about Josephine Russo! She has been great help from very beginning to end. Extremely prompt in responding to all my enquiries with extreme professionalism and understanding. I am so happy with the property I rented and Josephine’s efforts along the way.

It’s been a pleasure working with Sam to sell the property. He explained the process very clearly, and made it easy to understand. He worked very hard to engage each and every potential buyer. He was polite, punctual and most important of all, effective.

Great communication and proactive in the sale.

Sam was very helpful throughout the selling process. He made recommendations about updating the apartment and increasing the Buyer traffic.
He was very communicative with me and potential buyers over the selling period.

This is the third time we work with Sam. We are very satisfied with the entire process. Talking to Sam can always bring us calmness and confidence. His professionalism in understanding the markets and sales gave us the peace of mind, and we know we are in good hands. Look forward to working with Sam again. And really appreciate his help along the way.

Second week in a row they've come door knocking trying to drum up business. Please stop it's only going to make me choose to go elsewhere

Easy to work with. Sam & Fiona and the team where very professional and easy to work with.
They kept communicating with us through the rental of our home and all through the sale process.

Living away from our house they managed all maintenance and were able to organise cleaning and painting prior to sale.

Sam was never a pushy Realestate agent and told you what he thought without being overbearing.
We managed a quick campaign and sale and would recommend.

Experienced, professional and friendly.

Sam is an absolutely stellar sales agent. He was extremely professional, enthusiastic, friendly and easy to deal with throughout the entire campaign. His years of experience and expertise really shone through in every interaction that we had with him.

He’s also supported by an absolutely top tier team behind the scenes. Big shout out to Matthew who helped us and Sam and always brought a sense of urgency to his work, which I really appreciated given we were quite motivated to sell. We trusted Sam to do right by us while also being friendly and easy to deal with for buyers, and he certainly didn’t let us down.

I recommend him without hesitation and would 100% use him again. Thanks again Sam!

Top agent highly recommended
Professional and knowledgeable in providing a great outcome Highly recommended

THANK YOU Matthew Chilitta! For replying to all my enquiries you have been always so Attentive and Professional. A Credit to you as you always have gone over and beyond the call of duty. Amazing!

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff! Sam who has helped me to purchase my first home is very genuine and helpful! He has changed my whole view on real estate agencies. Highly recommend him if you are seeking for a good and responsible agent!

Amazing and genuine
Sam is a professional. He got our house sold in just 4w in current market with monthly rate rises the norm. Sam goes above and beyond, treating this as though he was selling his own house. Sam does not stop and is always available. An absolute pleasure dealing with Sam and being guided by his expertise and market knowledge.

Clarissa Estacio, and Fiona Varrica, managed the property I was renting for a number of years. They were always professional, courteous and responsive to me (within the limitations of the owners directions). Highly recommend.

Professional and understanding

We have bought a property and sold a property with Sam and both times, he was very professional and made the whole process seamless. Sam is knowledgeable about market trends and his advice helped us to sell our property at a good price that we were happy with. He has a good sense of humour and is also very thorough with all the paperwork and documentation needed for anything property related. He’s got a great team as well. Overall, you won’t regret going with Sam and his team to either buy or sell a property.

10 out of 10. Sam is very proficient in what he does.
When it comes to Real Estate, Sam and his team talk business. He is prompt, responsive, and understands the market through his extensive research, and knowledge of the local, and neighbouring areas.
Sam is patient, and works towards achieving the best result, whilst being realistic. Basically, he does not beat around the bush.

Sam Varrica is extremely professional, an excellent communicator and delivers results!

We met with numerous agents for our listing and settled on Sam mainly due to his professional manner, excellent sales record and reputation in the area - he came highly recommend by a number of friends in Abbotsford. Sam demonstrates deep expertise in both general real estate and the local market. His communication left nothing to be desired. He made himself available any time/day when we had questions but was usually so good at keeping us in the loop, we didn't need to call him at all. Sam was fantastic to deal with from start to finish and most importantly delivered us a great result - we would highly recommend him to anyone who is currently looking for an agent!

Huge shout out to our amazing realestate agent Sam Cognetta!
From our first meeting he was very professional, knowledgeable and well prepared to give us the best specific advice on how to market and present our home for sale.
He had all the information we required to move quickly so close to the Christmas break.
Sam was outstanding in his approach to our property with quality buyers ready to make offers. In fact, with-in 7 days of listing the property, we had multiple buyers and and great offers. He managed to secure the sale on the eighth day, which is definitely a record in my experience!
After 30 yrs in the building game and having worked with many other agents, I can not recommend Sam enough! He is by far the BEST agent we have had the pleasure of doing business with and will be our only agent moving forward!

Professional, Supportive and experienced
Selling your house is a stressful experience and Sam and his team helped us to navigate, advise and support us through it. We had a great outcome and lots of challenging circumstances throughout the campaign and he was a calm, experienced and wise counsel. I would definately use him again and recommend him. Thanks Sam we really appreciated all you and your team did!

Sam is an efficient, diligent and friendly agent. He kept me informed of the progress of the sale and always offered help in anyway he could.
