If you decide to entrust the auction of your house to Andrew James you will not regret your decision. Andrew is very well informed about property values and knows his market. He commenced the auction by addressing all the important features the house had to offer - presentation, location, and proximity to local facilities. He reminded buyers that this was an excellent opportunity to purchase in a prime location. He conducted the auction with skill, humour and a touch of theatrical flair. Most importantly, he achieved for us an excellent price well exceeding our expectations. I highly recommend him.

From the first appraisal meeting I found Lauchlan Waterfield and Andrew Summers experience in the local market and their guidance very helpful. Following appointment Lauchlan gave me detailed updates following all open for inspections and submitted weekly feedback for online interest, site visits and formal enquiries. The profiling of potential interested parties was very valuable and reassuring during the campaign and I felt well informed at all times. Following a solid marketing campaign, Lauchlan, conducted the auction on the day achieving an excellent result. It was a real pleasure to deal with Lauchlan and I appreciated his sincerity and professionalism at all times. Thank you!
Lauchlan Waterfield
Lauchlan was professional from our first meeting. He and his colleague, James, came very well prepared to meet me with detailed information about comparable sales in the area, as well as the sales process. Lauchlan was very realistic about price expectations and didn't try to win my business by making promises that were unrealistic. I was kept well informed throughout the sales campaign and felt that Lauchlan dealt with potential buyers very well. His knowledge of the area is fantastic.. Lauchlan wasn't pushy for us to set our reserve too early or at a certain level. His auction technique was fantastic and we ended up getting a better price than we expected. Although we didn't witness the auction, by all accounts he read the crowd extremely well and was able to successfully get us a very good price. Overall, we were very pleased with Lauchlan, James and Hocking Stuart Armadale.

Andrew and his team at Hocking Stuart, Armadale, recently delivered us an outstanding result on our flat in Prahran. Andrew and his team were courteous and professional throughout the process. We were particularly impressed with his knowledge of the market and attention to detail in ensuring that the flat was presented, and the campaign pitched, to a high standard. As interstate vendors, we especially appreciated the sound advice and level of communication we received, with updates by phone and email after every inspection.

As a person with a marketing background myself, I thoroughly recommend Lauchlan Waterfield as one of the best Agents I have come across. In the last 12-18 months I have been in contact with many Agents both in and out of Melbourne and I can truly say that Lauchlan was a real stand out performer. His honest and straightforward approach in marketing my property was very welcome. His regular updates following each open for inspection made me quickly aware of the level of interest throughout the campaign period. His great rapport and style also meant he was a pleasure to deal with. I would have no hesitation in appointing Lauchlan again.

We have no hesitation in strongly recommending HockingStuart. We did a comparison of a number of agents before appointing HockingStuart to sell our property. We assessed the agent’s ability, strategy, marketing costs, commission and expected sale price to be more favourable in making our decision. Our research was highly rewarded. Andrew Summons was our prime point of contact an d he was very ably supported by his son, Wally. Both were excellent listeners and very quick to be aligned to our needs plus exceptionally skilled, efficient and professional. Andrew and his team kept us well informed and were very realistic throughout the entire process and achieved an above expectation auction result, which we felt was in no small part due to their experience and ability. Hocking Stuart made us feel comfortable at all stages; there were never any surprises or cause for us to feel concerned or distrustful. Andrew was simply the best in the way he ran the show and Wally and the whole team seamlessly involved us when necessary. They provided excellent guidance on how to prepare a house for sale including contact details for a range of useful services we engaged at short notice to best market the house.

I unreservedly recommend ANDREW JAMES of Hocking Stuart if you want effective and thoroughly professional service at a very reasonable cost. You will find Andrew attentive (but never pushy) courteous and thoroughly on top of the current market. He always kept us in the loop, did a fabulous job at the actual auction and achieved a great result. Geoff Currey.

Andrew's skills as an auctioneer are second to none. He knows the local area, its attractions and key selling points and has an incredible ability to engage the crowd on auction day to get bidders excited and engaged. I could not recommend Andrew highly enough as the agent of choice for selling a property in Prahran.

I am pleased to provide feedback and recommend the sales expertise of both Andrew James and Alexandra Yaramanis from Hocking Stuart Armadale. With a high level of professionalism, knowledge and competence they made the sale of my investment property as seamless and stress free as possible. They worked to achieve and exceed the financial objectives I had for my property with a positive 'can do' attitude. I would also like to commend Hocking Stuart Armadale's property management team for their efficient and consistent management of my property over the past eight years. Wishing you all continued success. Kathryn F
