When Damien started Cooley Auctions in 2003 he had one clear vision – to put together the best auctioneering team in Australia. Now, as the auctioneer of choice for Australia’s most respected real estate agencies, his clients rely on his inimitable style and unsurpassed calibre of service to achieve consistently exceptional results.

At the helm of a rapidly growing, successful business, Damien has received a number of accolades which stand as testament to his focus and unwavering commitment to his craft. He was a finalist in the 2010, 2009 and 2008 Australasian Auctioneering Championships. He won the 2010 and 2008 REINSW Awards for Excellence in Auctioneering. He also won the Australian Property Institute’s Young Achiever of the Year Award in 2007 and was a finalist in 2006 and 2004. These commendations have reinforced his fine reputation and confirmed his status as one of the best in the business.

It is not surprising then that in November 2009 Damien made history when he sold 93 Victoria Road, Bellevue Hill for $23 million – a result well over the written reserve and smashing the former Australian record for a single dwelling home sold at auction.

Damien’s drive, enthusiasm and innate ability to read a crowd are invaluable assets when it comes to the fine art of auctioneering. He has been recognised as contributing significantly to the revitalisation of Sydney’s auction market.

Fully licensed and specialising in all facets of real estate, investment sales and charity events, Damien’s results speak for themselves and he consistently achieves an auction clearance rate well above the industry average.
