Our Industry Association exists to establish minimum best practice standards for Buyer's Agents working throughout Australia.  

As the elected President of this Association, I am proud to lead the professional body at a time when the Buyer's Agent industry across Australia is expanding rapidly.  Through education and consumer advocacy, it is my goal to raise standards across the Buyers Agent industry so that consumers can feel confident about choosing a buyers agent who will always act in the best interest of their client.

President

As the leading professional body for buyer's agents throughout Australia, REBAA's goal is to raise the profile of our industry and to establish guidelines for the professional conduct of real estate buyers agents nationally.

I am very proud to represent our industry body and help to further facilitate the professional development of our members here in Queensland.

Founder

Cohen Handler

Every successful business has a unique story to tell and the Cohen Handler journey is distinct indeed. 

What began as a chance meeting between Ben Handler and Simon Cohen at a Halloween party in California in 2009, quickly developed into a like-minded business journey. Underlined by the founders’ combined passion to solve a fundamental problem in the Australian real estate market – to provide fair representation for the buyers in real estate – Cohen Handler was born. 

It very quickly started growing, which developed into Australia’s largest Buyers’ Agency, with offices across Australia and California and expanded to 70+ people. 

Ben served as the CEO and exited the company in 2018.

Helping people turn buying property into a career

Getting made redundant from my corporate career was in retrospect one of the biggest gifts from the universe. 

Four of the best decisions I have made in my life:
- quitting alcohol 11 years ago
- changing my environment (with respect to where I live - getting out of the city)
- becoming a founder
- building a life with Rachel (my wife)

Over the last decade I’ve built 5 companies and also exited. I’ve worked across service and product business models. 

I am the first and only dude to build from scratch:
- Australia’s largest Buyers Agent biz 
- Fastest growing online education platform for Buyers Agents

I am currently the founder of Buyers Agent Institute - the community is like no other. 

My results:

- 4.200 + students 
- 1 x business exit 
- Bootstrapped multiple 8 figure businesses from scratch
- Helped 36 + founders launch a 7 figure career
