We are very pleased to comment favourably on our experience with Mike Whelan of Drew Lindsay Sothebys Real Estate Bowral. Mike quickly understood our needs and resources as we sought a residential property after 35 years of farming. His own background as a farmer and wide experience across residential as well as rural real estate was invaluable as he led us on our property search. It was a long and arduous process, eased by Mike’s careful selection of stock from the Drew Lindsay SIR portfolio as well as some from other agencies, so much so that every property inspected presented as a very real prospect, saving us much time and many hours of travel. We were also impressed by the standard of his research and the information he was able to provide in answer to our questions. Nothing was a trouble at any hour. When it came to negotiate, Mike communicated clearly and navigated our need for a prolonged settlement and a sale for his vendor with skill and aplomb. Though unwavering in his commitment to the vendors, his firm encouragement and patience with us in our negotiations eased a difficult process. Following a successful settlement we have been appreciative of Mike’s attentive follow up as the inevitable questions have arisen, as well as the comprehensive property and local information kit he presented to us at handover. Drawing on his wide knowledge of the local farming scene he has also been very helpful to us as we sought agistment opportunities and help in the acquisition of livestock in preparation for continuity in our farming business albeit on a very much smaller scale. These “over and above” touches as well as his assured professionalism throughout have made the experience of a major move as smooth as possible and we have no hesitation in recommending Mike to vendors and purchasers alike, residential or rural, as an agent of choice in the Southern Highland Read More
I had the pleasure of working with Mike, who truly knows the local area. Mike was always punctual, making the process smooth and stress-free.

His dedication and attention to detail ensured an efficient transaction. I highly recommend Mike for his expertise, reliability, and friendly approach. He is a standout choice for anyone seeking property in this beautiful rural community. Read More
Working with Andrew was a breeze. Not living in Australia he often had to communicate with my sister and brother in law, he kept us all well informed every step of the way.

Andrew was fantastic to deal with!From his very detailed, insightful and house specific appraisal we knew Andrew was the man for the job.
His knowledge of the local market was evident and we feel like he didn't try and over sell what our house was valued at instead he managed expectations from the start and suggested some minor house upgrades be done in order to maximise the sale which more than paid off. Communication from Andrew was always very clear and prompt. We would receive a call after each open home and get a pulse check from him. Overall Andrew was a very professional agent and we wouldn't hesitate to use him again and recommend him to others. Read More

We bought our property through Sam Lindsay and we sold our property through Sam Lindsay. His knowledge, approach and integrity is exactly what we look for in an agent. He and his team deserve all the success they have achieved. You need to trust your agent and you need to know that your agent is working for you as well as the buyer to ensure they are both satisfied with the result. There is no pressure in his sales technique but at the same time he is diligent and always working towards the result. The whole process from listing to exchange was about 7 or 8 weeks. On an 11 acre country property 20 minutes out of Bowral is an exceptionally quick campaign. Read More

I could not recommend Samuel any higher. Read More

The real estate industry is competitive, compounded by the current Sydney accelerated increase in the property market. In assessing a competent agent is no simple task, regardless of the location, especially in the Southern Highlands prior to the increased interest in cashed up Sydney buyers. One criterion in engaging a professional agent is the indispensable requirement that the agent's client is not the purchaser, but the vendor. As a former real estate agent I can convey that this prime ethical and mercantile practice is often bypassed by those merely seeking commission rather than serving their client's financial interests. The professionalism of Sam eschewed any attempt to wander down this slippery path of convenience. The price he carefully estimated for the property was the price attained. Judging by the types of properties that are listed and sold by this Real Estate firm it is obvious that discerning vendors recognise excellence and expertise in the complex real estate field. Likewise, potential purchasers, knowing the Southern Highlands real estate market, seek the firm's expertise. Another important aspect of the firm's standards is the attention to vendor's reporting. The property sold was an historic residence overlooking the township of Bowral, with unsurpassed views and grand entrance gates matching the grandeur of the property. The initial open house strategy, proved to be attracting buyers without the knowledge of the type of house, designed by an epochal Australian architect, and Sam's acute awareness of vendors' input, changed the sales direction to the appropriate market where excellence in housing is understood and appreciated. The ability to change marketing direction midway in a sales strategy proved successful and an astute purchaser was found who acknowledged quality. It is this awareness of each property's unique appeal exemplified in the comprehensive services of Sam and his team that deserves recognition for excellence. Read More
I had a vacant block of land to sell. It had some great aspects as well as some challenges due to the topography.

This is what I got when dealing with Samual. Read More
