WHY HARCOURTS ADELAIDE HILLS? “Our vision is to offer the highest quality, transparent service to our clients whilst contributing to the wider community becoming the first real estate agency locals will think of and recommend for all of their property needs.”
YOUR AGENT SAM OBORN Residing in the Hills for his entire life, meet Sam, who’s not your typical real estate agent with a strong passion for helping people achieve their dreams. Formidable marketing skills, an impeccable work ethic and a talent for identifying his clients’ needs have set Sam on an impressive career trajectory selling rural and lifestyle properties across the beautiful Adelaide Hills, with a particular focus on Hahndorf. And nearly a decade later, his drive and enthusiasm are stronger than ever. Following a successful career in the highly competitive wine industry that saw him working overseas and achieving top level results, Sam returned home to study a Master of Business (Property). To work as a valuer was his end game, but real estate had other plans. And so, he settled into sales as quickly and naturally as he settled his young family into the Stirling community. Sam is a passionate promoter of Hills living, citing the incomparable appeal of a country lifestyle within easy commute of the CBD, and the area’s solid track record for growth. Radiating a refreshing modesty that cloaks his many talents, Sam nevertheless recognizes the importance of having complete confidence in your choice of agent. Run your eye over the multiple pages of reviews on ratemyagent.com.au and you’ll soon see that knowing your market, keeping you in the loop and negotiating happy outcomes are all in a day’s work for this seasoned professional. As for results, they speak for themselves. Working with a talented team is a bonus, a team that shares Sam’s vision for a better real estate experience and ‘gets digital’, creating effective marketing strategies that are right for your home.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING. "Having made the decision to sell our much-loved home of 34 years we were apprehensive about finding a trustworthy real estate agent. Our fears proved to be unfounded as we were fortunate to have found the very best available in Sam Oborn of Harcourts Adelaide Hills. Nothing was too much trouble for Sam and his wonderful assistant Ashleigh. Of course, they took care of all the necessary paperwork for our off-market sale but also helped with contacts to excellent conveyancers, carpet and house cleaners. Their knowledgeable, friendly and open approach made what was a very daunting experience so much easier for us. We could not have achieved the great result that we did without Sam and his team at Harcourts. Sam Oborn was a pleasure to deal with, he was prompt, professional and showed great integrity whilst handling our sale and we would recommend him unreservedly to anyone looking to sell their home." Colin & Gail Brimson
"We recently sold our property with Sam and he proved to be an absolute professional. He made the selling process as stress free as possible and through a very well put together marketing campaign, use of his extensive established network of buyers and a great ability to engage with and service interested parties he successfully got us the price that we had hoped for. The selling process with Sam was transparent, honest and open and he consistently engaged with us throughout to ensure we were comfortable with progress. We couldn't recommend Sam (and his assistant Ash) highly enough. What a team." James & Gabrielle Smart
"We recently had Sam and Ashleigh sell our house and we can comfortably say that we could not be any happier with their service. From being so accommodating with making plans around our busy lives, to recommending other quality services to help get the place looking it’s best, they really did deliver on every little thing. Not to mention that we got a lot higher sale price than we expected!! We can not recommend Sam and Ashleigh any higher - they are absolutely brilliant at what they do and are the friendliest people to go with it! Thanks guys Jarrad, Katie, Freddie and Huw." Jarrad & Katie Tait
“We interviewed 4 local agents before selecting Sam and Ashleigh. WHY? You know that feeling when you meet someone who is very at ease and yourself becomes relaxed and chatty? This is Sam, professional but a very 'real person'. If the seller feels this way surely prospective buyers will see what we saw? And that’s the way it played out as our property was not at all what everyone wants it was a huge relief to have not one but 2 offers after just 3 weeks. Well done team Harcourts.” Lee & Sue Merchant
