Phil was incredibly helpful, knowledgable and available to step us through all aspects of our sale and auction. His advice, strategy and knowledge of the area was spot on and we were kept well informed the whole way through of how things were going and what that meant. Phil was proactive and friendly and made the whole process easy for us.

The family express their appreciation to Grant and Staff at Hocking Stuart in helping us with the sale of our Family Home. A delicate situation handled very professionally.

Even though our property didn't sell at Auction Phil and the team at hockingstuart never stopped working hard to achieve my price. I was always kept informed with the progress of the sale and inspections and couldn't recommend Phil high enough.

Grant was utterly professional and very knowledgeable, every step of the way Grant ensured that we had all the information at our fingers tips. From the first day we walked into the office his communication and follow up each week of our campaign was exceptional. This Included organising the photo shoots and advertising to the weekly phone calls and emails, we felt that at all times we knew what was happening with the sale. I am sure his knowledge of the McCrae area ensured we had a fantastic result and plenty of people attending the Auction. I would not hesitate in recommending Grant and the team at Hocking Stuart Rosebud to anyone.

PHIL was incredibly helpful with his knowledge of the location. He was fair in his assessment of the property and has been helpful in his follow up since the purchase. I would be happy to refer him to friends as someone they could trust with the purchase of real estate on the Peninsula.

I found Phil to be an outstanding agent in all matters from start to finish. He was timely in responding to emails or text messages and always had the answer or was able to provide a solution to my questions or concerns. I would highly recommend Phil to any future vendors or purchasers.

Professional, hardworking, courteous...are all words I would use to describe Grant McConnell. Selling the family home is an emotional and stressful process, Grant made the 'preparation and sale' process as easy as it could be by ensuring that everything that he said would happen did happen, on time and completely professionally. Great communication from Grant and his team meant we felt completely involved and informed throughout the campaign, which ultimately led to a fantastic result!

We were out side Hocking Stuart window just looking when Grant came out the door and introduced himself . We were not interested in selling at the time , but he took our details and he touched base now and again , not too much. When he heard my husband was sick he had flowers sent. We had in mind to go with someone else when the time was right but Grant asked us to let him come and see our property. There was no sales pitch, we felt totally at ease and we had confidence in him. With Samanatha his off sider on board we just left totally everything to them. They are a great team and a asset to our local community. Highly recommend
