I recently sold my unit in South Yarra through Hocking Stuart. After interviewing several agents in the local area including vendor advocates I selected Grant Wallace. Grant's advice which extended to property styling, marketing to a target audience based on a deep understanding of the local area and open communication pathways made the selection of choosing Grant a key point of difference. All through the advertising campaign I received scheduled updates on levels of interest in the property and if hitting the mark. The combination of Grant and Marissa Serio I couldn't have been happier and felt at all times the property was in good hands. As an auctioneer Grant has a professional manner, strong voice and gets the audience attention. He does not get rattled and commands respect without being pushy. I was extremely satisfied with the sale price achieved and thoroughly recommend Grant Wallace and Marissa Serio, they make a great team.

We recently sold our Unit at South Yarra through Hocking Stuart. We did this all by remote as we live in Queensland. We had not seen the unit for 8 years and it has been rented during that time. Peter Perrignon and Grant Wallace handled the sale for us and advised a total paint and recarpet, and a fit out with furniture from a styling company. We were nervous about this expenditure but followed their advice. This was good advice as the price achieved at auction exceeded our reserve price by 10%. After every open house event they rang us to tell us how many groups attended, whether they were return visits, and what people were saying re price. This and other communication during the campaign were excellent. We could not have asked for a more professional performance and would recommend them highly.

Grant and the team at Hocking Stuart did an excellent job in the marketing campaign. I was very impressed with the online advertisement. Grant and Zoe were both very professional and efficient. Although the sale took longer than anticipated, it was managed well and I was kept informed of progress. The service provided was of high quality.

Mark obtained a great outcome prior to auction for my apartment. He was always professional, helpful and a strong negotiator. His market knowledge was spot on and his connections help secure the sale. I would highly recommend Mark and his team at Hocking Stuart South Yarra!

Early in February this year, having made the decision to sell my property in Malvern, I contacted Hocking Stuart. Grant Wallace and Zoe Harper took charge, and listed tasks required to make the property attractive and saleable. These were then competently carried out by tradesmen whose work was of a high standard, whose rates were reasonable and who were able, when required, to communicate clearly. Both Grant and Zoe kept in touch during the whole process with advice, and with willingness to give time. As I live interstate, their high standard of communication was greatly appreciated. Legal matters (with which I was previously entirely unfamiliar) were explained and dealt with competently and ,throughout the campaign, I was regularly kept up to date with documents such as 'Campaign report, Schedule of Inspections, Pre-Auction Report' to name a few. Advertising was wide and, some weeks before the auction, the property appeared live online. On the day of the Auction a crowd of around fifty people gathered. Grant, with his clear energising voice, kept the prospective buyers rapidly competing with each other until the final result far exceeded expectations. Neighbours, who had watched similar houses in the street sell for a lesser amount some months previously, were high in their praise. Thank you Grant Wallace and Zoe Harper. You are each admirable examples of the best your profession can be.

Mark is unlike other agents, he provides a high quality service that focuses on developing and maintaining a relationship before and after initial contact. His advice is realistic and credible. He always displays very high levels of integrity. I have now purchased and sold a property assigned to Mark and on both occasions I was highly satisfied with the results from a financial and non-financial (business relationship) perspective.

Mark is personable, positive, energetic, dedicated and clearly knows South Yarra and his stuff very well. He worked tirelessly from start to finish on our campaign. Aside from the actual selling of our house, he additionally provided styling advice for getting our home 'inspection ready', sourced a cleaner and a handyman for some minor maintenance work and even found someone to take our dogs during open homes. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone selling in the area.

Grant is the most professional agent and person that I have dealt with. He had the following attributes: - Extensive knowledge about the area and property market. - Made solid recommendations to how to market and sell the property; and get the best price. - Kept me informed of the whole process via phone or face to face contact. - Impeccable presentation.

It can be a stressful time, often escalated by horror stories people tell you regarding their Agent. I am delighted to say my experience was the opposite. Mark knows the area very well – thus setting realistic expectations at the outset. With his network and marketing, interest was almost immediate. Facilitating a better than expected outcome prior to auction made this a very positive experience. I highly recommend Mark.

We chose Nick to sell our investment property in Prahran, having previously engaged him for the successful sale of another investment property in Toorak. The end to end experience with Nick is all about market knowledge, highly efficient operations and mostly just about telling is straight. At the end of the day, what really matters is the result and for us that's 2 for 2 very successful sales. Engage with confidence.
