We engaged Nick and Hocking Stuart South Yarra to sell our apartment. Despite a slow start into the campaign, we got the result due to Nick's negotiation skills with buyer advocates. Being first time seller though, we were not informed of when money changes hands and when we would receive deposit. Overall we had a good experience which could have be better if we were informed better.

I had a lengthy and tedious selection process to find the right agent to sell my property. I found that Mark Konishi stood head and shoulders above the majority. I have found him to be trustworthy, patient, a good communicator, professional and a decent chap. It was a pleasure to work with him. I have no hesitation in using his services again for my next sale.

We had been looking on and off for 18 months to buy our first home before we came across Grant. Over the preceding months we were constantly under quoted, misinformed or not taken seriously by other agents. Grant was respectful, honest and happily went out of his way for us making sure all our questions were answered and that we felt comfortable with the process - we knew we were in good hands. We could not recommend Grant more highly!

I engaged Nick Gatacre and the Hocking Stuart team to sell my townhouse in Richmond. The entire experience from start to finish was excellent. A lot could have gone wrong however the team managed my expectations extremely well. I was lucky that there were two interested parties on the day of the auction and the house sold for $35,000 over my reserve. The reserve was set inline with the latest valuation so there were no surprises. I would definitely recommend using Nick if you are looking for a professional team to sell your property in Melbourne.

HockingStuart Real Estate has been managing my rental property in South Yarra up to standard for some years and it's just fitting to choose them to sell my property. Nick Gatacre, the Real Estate Agent has been very professional and well organised and the timeframe the property was sold with a satisfactory outcome considering the current market situation is exceptional. Thank you so much and best regards.

I couldn't have asked for a better outcome, thank you Grant!
Grant Wallace
Grant gave me a clear picture of the market, listened to my bottom line, and explained the auction process very clearly to me. I was overseas on the day of the sale, but that was no problem, and I I was kept up to date and informed by Grant and his team.

Nick was incredibly supportive and thorough during the process of our purchase. He was very committed to ensuring the best result for the Vendor whilst appeasing our nerves and helping us towards a successful outcome. I would certainly recommend Nick to any prospective purchaser or vendor.

Grant Wallace and his team handled the sale of this investment property for us through the whole process covering - recommendations for suppliers of painting, carpet, air conditioning and furniture hire - personallly managing these services for us due to our residential address distant from the property - a very comprehensive and successful advertising campaign The end result was extremely pleasing and painless especially considering the potential distance issues.

This property was sold 25% above the reserve price. Originally it was dilapidated and in need of repair. Mark and his assistant Alex organised everything including waste removal, painting, cleaning and hire furniture which complimented the presentation. We were referred to a solicitor and apart from signing documents we are not troubled even to the extent of collecting the deposit and sales proceeds.We were kept informed at every stage and provided with statistics regarding open houses and potential buyers. Communication was outstanding. The sales campaign and subsequent auction went exactly as predicted by Mark. A team of Hockingstuart staff was on hand at the auction and their input was professional and excellent. We were happy to accept his advice which was always good. Overall we were delighted with the whole experience and cannot recommend the agents at Hockingstuart more highly.It is good that there are agents out there who take the worry out of selling a home and Mark Konishi did just that.

Sharon And my intention was always to speak to a number of Agents with the view to Auction our Grosvenor St house , we approached Marshal White , Greg Hocking and Hocking Stuart . From these meetings it became obvious that Peter Perrignon from Hocking Stuart had a vast Knowledge in the STH YARRA area being a STH YARRA owner and Hocking Stuart having street presents made our decision easier. The whole Team at Hocking Stuart are fantastic and a special thanks to Grant Wallace who always has an upbeat approach which would put any owner at ease. On the Auction day a team of 5 or 6 from Hocking Stuart arrived set up and no doubt went about the pre sale walk through the crowd setting the mood. The auction started without a bid being called which is always a down moment in anyone's mind but Peter persisted to finally get a bid and get the Auction started. Peter skill's in this area was evident and both Sharon and I feel so lucky we had such a great Auctioneer on hand to eventually go over our expectations . Many Thanks to the whole crew at Hocking Stuart STH YARRA
Peter Perrignon
