Phil was a pleasure to deal with. He took the lead role in our campaign which ended in a fantastic auction result. He always made himself available and kept us well informed. Phil has a quiet and respectful approach that was most appreciated in our more stressful moments as vendors! His confidence never wavered, along with his calm and gentlemanly approach. We would highly recommend Phil to anyone. Job well done :)

The whole process with Hocking Stuart was highly professional. Grant was always polite and well informed. He guided us along a path to our end result which made the Herald Sun front page Real estate section for an outstanding auction outcome. I will always remember Grant for being like a dog with a bone at auction. He was just not letting go until we got the result we were seeking. Our expectations were very high. We trusted his judgement to declare our property on the market before we were happy to sell. We then listened as he expertly drew out and ultimately wrestled bidders to the ground (including a couple of savvy buyers advocates) and came away with the bone. Well done Grant and thank you.

Grant was a pleasure to deal with in this transaction, it was refreshing to deal with an agent that has integrity, he showed a great deal of care to all parties in the transaction. I would not hesitate to recommend Grant to anyone looking at real estate on the Peninsula.

Hi there, We first contacted Grant more than six months ago, when interested in another property. Whilst we were not able to purchase this property at the time as it went to auction, we have been well informed of several other similar prospective homes as they came on the market since then. Grant has understood our, at times, particular property selection minimum requirements, and eventually we found a suitable option in McCrae. He, and his fellow Hocking Stuart agents from the Rosebud office have been professional, informative and forthcoming in helping us, as buyers in what has been recently, a fairly "hot" market section by the bay. We felt well respected and informed throughout and would have no hesitation recommending Hocking Stuart to venders and sellers, alike. Yours sincerely, Brett Manders and Shaarn Pateman.

There where 2 other similar units for sale close by and Phil did a great job selling ours first. Not only did we sell first but we ended up selling for much higher than the other units close by. Highly recommend Phil and all his support network at hockingstuart.

We first met Phil when we spotted a house in Rosebud Vic that appealed to us . He was available and cooperative from the start to show us the property and answer all our questions. He has a pleasant manner and gives the impression that nothing is too much trouble. We have subsequently had several calls emails & messages with Phil where all have been prompt and the communication has been excellent. We highly recommend Phil as a real estate agent. Paul & Adele

There was a delay with the paperwork but through this process we were always aware of the progress. Phil was always available when we wanted to get in contact with him and he helped us with all questions. We would have loved the lawns to be mowed before settlement but understand some things are out of everyone's control.

Phil is informative and has a good grasp of the balance between Vendor - Purchaser relations. The assistance and direction given was useful in achieving the right outcome in regards to purchasing this property in Rosebud.
