Simon Cohen is the founder and director of Australia’s largest residential property buyer’s agency, Cohen Handler, and the go-to person for luxury property in Sydney. He founded the business in 2009, and he has since grown it into Australia’s leading property buyer’s agency with offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. As of 2023, the firm has assisted clients purchase more than $7 billion worth of property. The firm has also expanded to include Costi Cohen, Australia’s first commercial property buyer’s agency, and Cohen Farquharson, an executive leasing and property management firm.

Simon started his career as a real estate agent with Ray White Double Bay, and was consistently ranked as one of the top five sales agents in the office, and ultimately became one of the agency’s “Top 3%” of agents Australia-wide.

Simon’s clients have included first-time buyers, investors, and luxury home buyers, and his extensive knowledge and experience have helped them achieve their goals, whether it’s purchasing a starter home, finding a high-return investment property, securing a luxury dream home, or even an island. He has a proven track record of successfully closing deals and exceeding his client’s expectations.

As Australia’s highest-grossing buyer’s agent, he has built his reputation on providing outstanding service for his clients and helping them secure properties for the right price and for unrivalled access to exclusive off-market listings.

Simon will share with us insights into his journey, developing a deep understanding of what his customer values, building a personal brand and the importance of providing client and customer service that is second to none. Following Simon's last insightful and entertaining session during our virtual training platform - his return in person is the result of many, many requests from our members.
