Right from our first meeting with Jack and Perry, we knew we were in safe and committed hands as we looked to buy our first property in a tumultuous Sydney market. They were a pleasure to work with, leveraging their market expertise and strong connections, and bringing a highly positive, professional and dedicated energy to our search. We couldn’t have felt better supported or had more fun along the way! They successfully secured us the right property in the right place at the right price, and they made the final negotiation and purchase process seamless and stress free. We couldn’t be happier with the final outcome, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jack, Perry and Henderson Advocacy to others. We look forward to working with them again in the future!

Want to thank Damien and Nick, what a team! Damien's communication is patient, clear and thoughtful, he generates a calm around him that's very reassuring to someone like me looking for my new home & closing last chapter. Nick's knowledge of the market and his positive attitude is a real asset, his honesty and disclosure in regards to reasonable expectations based on discussion with the vendor agent is very refreshing. They've really taken a lot of the heat and emotion out of the process for me. Great communication, even during holiday season, very responsive to all my questions and concerns. Looking forward to settlement & settling in. Never been a property investor, I'm inspired now and I'll definitely engage the Henderson team for all my future property purchases.

Here I am to write a review on the run five months after purchase of an investment property with the help of Henderson Advocacy. A believer in wanting to do things for myself, I realised I would be waiting forever if I wanted to have the knowledge and time required to understand the market and inspect properties.I started out rather skeptical and thinking whether to spend the money on engaging their services but Jack and Sam went above and beyond in answering questions and clarifying any doubts I had about taking the plunge. In retrospect, I shouldn’t have hesitated at all. They are worth every cent I paid in fees simply on the basis of the time saved, and averting the delay in making a purchase. If time is money I had to try something different. I had let 12 months go by and another 12 would have easily passed.Henderson Advocacy were knowledgeable, did their research, shared detailed information at every step, showed me off-market opportunities and provided amazing support and guidance from start to finish. Sam was knowledgeable and realistic about areas and houses that suited my brief and receptive to my feedback. He was always professional, polite, and enthusiastic and to date continues to check on matters in relation to the property and with offers of help. I would not hesitate to recommend Henderson Advocacy to others – the service is exceptional and particularly suited for anyone who is time poor and lacking the knowledge or contacts in real estate market .

We have just secured our new home with the help of Jack, Daniel and Perry - it was a wonderful experience.We first started looking for properties on our own and were unable to find many satisfactory ones in this cooling down market. With this frustration, we sought help from the Henderson team. We found them very experienced and knowledgeable in real estate investments. On top of sourcing off-market properties, they accompanied every single inspection, took care of communications with vendor's agents and provided insights on the building quality and investment worthiness. Once we narrowed down our choices, they made use of their experience and connections to negotiate the best achievable price.We can feel that the Henderson team genuinely wants to help us. The team is fun yet professional to work with. They are people you want to befriend with even after the acquisition is done. We would recommend their service to any friends who want to purchase a property in Sydney :)

Sam Black really went above and beyond for me, regardless of not purchasing a property in the end. Sam still kept me up to date with properties we were looking at, letting me know what the market was doing and educating me along the way.I will definitely be using these services again when I purchase.

Just recently we secured our first home with Henderson Advocacy. The whole process was an amazing experience.We spent 12 months prior searching for a property unsuccessfully before meeting Jack and his team.Within three months we secured a property that we never thought was possible! Jack and James went above and beyond in answering questions, showing us off-market opportunities and providing amazing support and guidance from start to finish.The reassurance we received being first home buyers made us feel at ease. Being able to contact the team at all hours was a huge relief.We highly recommend Henderson Advocacy whether it be your first home or last.Thanks again guys, you nailed it!

Talk about best of the best! These guys are the ultimate professionals. Jack, Sam and dan really know how to drive a bargain and they work around the clock to make sure what needs to happen, happen. There is no way I could have secured such a great asset without their help. At first, as a first home buyer, I wasnt sold on using a buyers agent but i am so glad I did. They made everything so easy. Simply put, the Guys at Henderson are legends and they have saved me more money than I ever could have thought.

Matt and Aaron were a must have to help us buy our first home, im positive we avoided so many traps and pitfalls and rookie mistakes along the way and have now moved into our first home!They took the time to learn our brief with some good test and adjust along the way do commit to the journey rather than getting a quick sale for you, sticking around for the home that speaks to you as you learn from each open house. Could not recommend more!

The Henderson Advocacy and Jack Know How to get the deal done.My experience with Jack was seamless, professional, and fun all at the same time.As a first home buyer I truly would not have been able to do it without Jack. He went above and beyond just finding me the perfect property, but his wisdom and knowledge helped me navigate this stressful and at times, chaotic process.I have known Jack for many years and one of the best things about Jack is that when he says he is going to do something, not only does he deliver, but he will always exceed any expectations.Would I recommend Jack? Absolutely.Henderson Advocacy Know How to make it happen

We were recommended to Jack and the Henderson team after searching for a property for over twelve months, failing at auctions and unsuccessful in finding what we were after.We were quite skeptical at first, but after talking with Jack, understanding his wealth of knowledge, his great relationships with agents and his no nonsense approach and a good sense of humour ???? we decided to use Jack as our buyers advocate.The whole process was uncomplicated and streamlined. It only took 8 weeks and we got a property that fits exactly our brief and took all the stress out of the negotiation process. Jack was our primary contact and even though he’s the founder of a large business, no conversation was rushed. I had his ear the whole time. Having said that, we met Aaron and Perry who were both extremely professional and clearly knew our area, the agents and the market very well.I would certainly use Henderson Advocacy again and have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone trying to find property. In fact, I’ve already recommended them to a friend!

As this was my first ever property I was buying. I turned to Jack and his team at Henderson Advocacy for guidance. From the initial windows teams meeting, until the purchase of the property. They trained me in what was going to be the best property for my price range and provided me with Suburb reports to back up their facts. And now in a year or 2 I might be able to purchase my 2nd property using their tips that they gave me.I was so happy with their service that I even referred them to a friend of mine and my father is now thinking of purchasing a property with Henderson Advocacy.

I was referred to Henderson Advocacy by a local real estate agent after looking to buy for several months. I spoke to Tim Walker and he was genuine and very helpful. Tim gave me some great tips and advice regarding buying a property.

Being new to the Newcastle region, we knew we needed some expertise to help us understand the market, and how far we would be able to stretch our budget. Sam was knowledgeable and realistic about areas and houses that suited our brief and really worked hard to secure our new home in a super tight area. I would not hesitate to recommend Henderson Advocacy to others – the service was unbelievable and I am confident the money we paid for their fee we more than covered by their expert advice and by securing an off market opportunity. Thank you Sam.

We engaged the Henderson team to assist us in purchasing an investment property. Our experience with Sam was absolutely fantastic! It was more than just purchasing a great property - it was a journey of sharing knowledge, patience and providing so much value to us as investors! We’ll definitely be using the team again for our future purchasers.

After missing out on multiple times in the Eastern suburbs I decided to work with Jack and his team to help me purchase my first property. Within a short period of time Jack and Damien had secured an incredible property that matched my criteria perfectly. I couldn't recommend working with Jack and the Henderson team enough!

05:05 30 Apr 22

Jack was very genuine and honest in our dealings with him. He never pushed us into a decision and calmly provided us with his expertise to help inform our own decisions. Jack never wasted our time and stuck to the brief provided knowing exactly what was important. Highly recommend!

Jack and his team are literally the “A” team. Super professional, accurate and understanding. Excellent out of the box thinkers that are there to make you money. Couldn’t recommend higher! I’ll be a repeat customer for sure!

We engaged Henderson Advocacy to assist us with a recent purchase. The transparency and responsiveness of their communication was present from the start all the way through the buying process. Jack and Daniel initially assisted us with drafting a plan and then swiftly moved into execution. At all times we had access to the right info to make an informed decision as well as the right people for post purchase activities which was an added bonus. As someone who is time poor, and a reasonable understanding of the market we still felt the Henderson Advocacy were able to add enormous value to a commonly stressful process. We would certainly use the team again, and definitely recommend the Henderson team to our friends and family. The again for your help!

We have had a great experience with Jack and Daniel from Henderson Advocacy. Buying what we were looking for at a great price.We didn’t have much spare time to look for inspections as we are busy with our small business and work and growing family. Jack and Daniel made it easy, by selecting suitable properties at convenient times for us to see.They gave great advice and local knowledge and all the time being very friendly and down to earth people.Thanks guys,Hera and FelixPaddington Grind

We engaged Henderson Advocacy to find our family a home in Newcastle. Matt and Darcy well and truly exceeded our expectations - finding us a fantastic off market home, in exactly the location we were after, all in less than 5 weeks. Communication was stellar during the whole process - it definitely felt like we had an advantage over any other buyers in the market due to the connections and knowledge we had at our fingertips the whole way through. We would not hesitate in recommending Henderson to others!

David Halliday

As buyer's agents, Jack and Daniel, helped secure a good deal on the purchase price as well as help in finding what I was looking for. They made made me feel comfortable from the very beginning, and guided me through the process to ultimately purchasing the perfect home. Throughout they were professional, knowledgeable and full of helpful advice. I would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone starting their house hunting.

Andrew Pritchard

09:39 25 Feb 22

Our first home purchase was one of the most challenging experiences we’ve ever faced. If it was not for the expert guidance from start to finish through the entire purchase we would have never secured our dream home in our dream suburb. To the most genuine, hard working legends Sam and Jack for working every single day no matter how many hours I sincerely thank you both. Our property journey has only just begun but with the strong foundations you guys have provided us we will have no problem continuing to expand our portfolio under your guidance in the future. ??

Enjoyable, professional process to buying our new home. We found exactly what we wanted and Jack's eternal optimism and approachability made it easy to navigate what can be a stressful process in a tough Eastern Suburbs market. Also saved us a lot of time and hassle with a young family. Much appreciated, would seek out Jack + team services again and happily recommend to others.

We were recommended Henderson Advocacy by a local real estate agent after over 6 months of looking for properties ourselves. We had recently changed our specifications and were struggling to find suitable options with our new brief. While we were hesitant and a little skeptical going in, after taking with Jack we decided that expert assistance was going to be the way to go in finding our home.After initially talking with Matt and outlining our (slightly complicated and sometimes contradictory) requirements he immediately starting sending us potential properties and quickly honed in our what we wanted and needed. His expert opinions and insights into locations, building potential etc were invaluable to us and boosted our confidence that working with Henderson’s was the right decision.Jack promised us results within 3 months and they delivered! Matt found us a great property after 2 months of searching - we ended up buying the one next door! It hadn’t been on our radar due to its auction status, but Matt gave us every assurance that it could (and would) be ours. He masterfully lead us through the auction process and succeeded in securing us the perfect home. We would never have had the confidence to do it on our own, and are forever grateful to the Matt, Jack and the extended Henderson’s team for their patience, experience and good humour thought out the entire process. We trusted the experts to get the job done and they certainly delivered us a perfect home.

The purchase of our first investment property was an exciting and seamless experience thanks to Frank and Jack. Teaming up with Henderson Advocacy provided us with off-market access, ever changing market knowledge, and long-term growth predictions.Frank and Jack liaised with all relevant parties, removed the emotive spend and guided us through purely a business transaction.Frank’s negotiation skills were masterful and resulted in a great purchase price for an apartment which ticked all our criteria. We highly recommend Henderson Advocacy for anyone wanting to be one step ahead of the market.Steve & Kristen

We had a fantastic experience with Matt at Henderson Advocacy. We had a few specific requirements and because of Matt's local insight and knowledge of the market, he helped us find a house in an area that ticked all the boxes.Matt's extremely professional and went above and beyond providing detailed information about properties and was always available to answer any questions we had.

Matt Chamberlain is a true professional that knows his market very well. He just helped us secure a great property in Waratah at a good price with tactics that eliminated the usual emotive crazy bidding from the other bidders at an auction. Very impressed with his work and would highly recommend Matt in your corner. He saved us thousands. many thanks Matt.

My husband and I had an excellent experience with Matt Chamberlain from Henderson Advocacy. Matt was professional, knowledgeable and supportive through all stages of the process. We were apprehensive about using a buyer’s agent, but found that the level of experience Matt brought to the table was priceless. We would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to invest in property and look forward to working with him again in the future.

Kirsten Shannon

I have just exchanged contracts on an apartment in Double Bay and I can happily say I am delighted with the results. I interviewed a lot of property buyers before settling on Henderson Advocacy. I chose Henderson because of Jack's obvious knowledge and expertise, as well as his energy. Unlike many other property buyers I had spoken to, after speaking to Jack, I learned a lot about the market and he highlighted important factors that I needed to consider, in order to find the right home. I was very confident that they could find me the right property and they actually managed it in a week! I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Felicia Xi

02:25 12 Sep 21

We have absolutely enjoyed working with Jack and the team. They have been always responsive to us and keeping us updated on every single step. They have successfully fully secured a property within 6 weeks and have fulfilled the requirements we have discussed in the initial consultation. We would recommend them to anyone who would need assistance in buying their property in this hyper competitive market.

We can not thank Matt enough for all of the help and guidance he offered us during the purchase of our new home. From our first call to the auction Matt was always available at an hour that suited us, knowledgeable and supportive in his advice and willing to help out where we needed. During these challenging times of COVID and our inability to travel and house search in a different region we trusted Matt to undertake this process for us and in the process he secured our dream home. Through the auction he kept us in the loop, explained the strategy and process and celebrated in our success. We would highly recommend Matt for anyone looking to buy a new home!

Peter Nay

We were delighted to meet Darcy Brown, his upbeat energetic personality was a breath of fresh air. As well as his personable manner, he is a ‘can do’ person who did what he said he’d do. He respected our challenging ‘wish list’ and helped clarify ‘the essentials’ and then sought suitable properties, negotiated on our behalf and stayed involved to the end. We are happy to recommend his services.

Jack is very much a no-nonsense style agent.He was hyper aware of what had sold in and around the area as well as within the building. But beyond his market knowledge, he was well equipped to help advise his client about the opportunity costs and market trend to secure exactly what they were after in a complex process in what was a very competitive bidding war.I would feel very comfortable having Jack in my corner if I was buying.

Charlotte Bruton

07:16 29 Jul 21

After 8 months of searching Jack and the team ensured we found our dream home, quickly (in less than 2 weeks!) in a suburb we didn't think we could afford. We couldn't be more thrilled with the experience and service provided.Jack & Sam made a stressful experience fun and enjoyable again, and it was obvious they cared.We believe we got a great deal in a market where no one gets a bargain, completely down to Jack's talent and determination.We'd highly recommend the team, and they'll be the first people we call if we ever decide to move again!

Free Morrison

05:26 20 Jul 21

I wouldn't have been able to purchase the property I ended up buying without Jacks help,Navigating what seemed to be a near impossible market, for someone who had never purchased before, with no agent relationships or time was proving challenging and when I was introduced to Henderson Advocacy they proved it possible.Jack was professional, friendly and fun to work with, turning a painful & long process into an enjoyable one.Jack was extremely prompt in all communication and took feedback of preferences on and every property he showed got better and better until I found my dream home homeI could not recommend Jack & Henderson more highly!

JULIE ENTWISTLE

13:09 27 Jun 21

From our first meeting where we outlined our goals, Jack and the team actively listened and helped us refine the investment strategy, sourced and pre-vetted the properties, negotiated the acquisition… and we can honestly say that we have ended up with a great investment property portfolio with properties we wouldn’t have found and/or bought without Jack’s team. We’ll definitely enlist Henderson Advocacy to find future property and would highly recommend other prospective buyers to benefit from their knowledge and expertise. A great result all round, we couldn’t be happier.

04:37 24 Jun 21

Jack was an exceptional buyers agent who was thorough, honest and very helpful. He helped me locate a house in the area I wanted and negotiated fiercely so I ended up with a property at a better rate then if I had not engaged him. Highly recommended

Jeremy Harper

Jack is a young talent in the Sydney real estate market. He is professional, honest and to the point, rare traits in this market. Previously my clients have used his services and he assisted personally at a recent auction. Thank you for all your hard work Jack and can't wait to buy again with you.

Jigesh Patel

13:45 02 May 21

My experience with Jack and Matt was flawless,professional prompt and honest. If you don't have the time or new to area to find the right property give them a call. The team at Henderson Advocacy is very hard working and at times they were answering my queries outside work hours, such was the commitment. I highly recommend Jake and Matt for their due diligence, honesty and their passion to achieve best outcome for their clients.

Zack Levy

08:47 26 Mar 21

If you’re serious about buying a property, Jack is your guy. He knows his stuff, well connected and goes out of his way to help. He also surrounded himself with cool and capable team. Jack communicated regularly and worked in a vary collaborative way. He found properties for us to look at very quickly and they were spot on - ended up buying off market within a few weeks from the brief. I would very much recommend Jack and look forward to needing him again in the future.
