We found Grant to be all the things you would wish for as a buyer of real estate responsive informative honest and nothing was a drama. Grant kept us well informed of the progress of our offer and even with some unusual terms and condition request on our behalf Grant supported these and communicated clearly the situation to his client who was most accommodating. Grant is a true real estate professional. If you are thinking of selling I would have no hesitation in recommending Grant and the Hocking Stuart team at Rosebud.

It has been a pleasure dealing with Philip and Hocking Stuart, very professional and easy to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble for him, our son who was unable to make it to the auction missed viewing the property, Philip was very accommodating making an appointment on a public holiday to show our son through his house. Many thanks Phil.

With historically low interest rates currently in place the hunt for property is extremely competitive and nowhere more than on the Mornington Peninsula. My wife and I have been lending a helping hand to my son and partner in this search that took us from Rye to Dromana. After about six months of disappointment I began to think we simply were not going to get on the home owner's train in this area. Phil Down from Hockingstuart placed our names on their early alert service which provided us with an edge into this competitive situation. He sent us a picture of a house that I immediately felt was right but it was not available for some weeks. When I spoke to Phil about it he made special arrangements for us to view the property and he came in to do this on his (no doubt very valued) day off. Phil took our offer straight to the owner and rang me twice on the way home to discuss the situation. Twenty four hours later the house was sold to us through a very organised and streamlined process. We are extremely satisfied with our purchase and the service we received and have no hesitation in recommending Phil Down from Hockingstuart to anybody buying or selling property on the Mornington Peninsula.

From start to finish of the sale of our property Phil was open and honest about everything. He didn't make promises he just told it as it was and he was spot on in every way. We could not have asked for a more professional person to represent us and our property and the result was outstanding. We were recommended Hocking Stuart Rosebud to manage our property and they did a sensational job over the years and because of that trust, we didn't hesitate when it came time to sell and we only have admiration for Phil and his team on the outcome. 5 Stars +

Phil came to meet my partner and I at the end of a long and frustrating search for our first home. He was quick, available, reliable, persistent, trustworthy and a nice bloke. Not something I could say for all the agents I now know by first name. We will never forget Phil's hard work for us. Thanks so much.

The Hocking Stuart team were knowledgeable on where the market was at, and Steve Edmund kept us up to date with all the inspections. Our property was one of a kind, but on the other hand not all that easy to sell, but at the end of the day a satisfactory outcome was achieved.

Steve Edmund

I cannot rate Steve Edmunds high enough. He talked me through the ins and outs of selling and then formulated a plan to Auction the house but due to his marketing of the house it was sold prior to Auction at a price that well exceeded my expectations. He then organised the contracts etc... and always answered my calls/emails promptly and gave advice on things that cropped up.
