Grant was very professional and a great guy to work with throughout the whole process. Grant was very approachable, knows the area and the market and responded quickly to a range of questions we had about the property, the building and the body corp during the campaign. I would absolutely use Grant in the future when I become a vendor and if we were to be a buyer on another property it would reassure me to see him there as the agent.

From 12 months of open inspections, and the emotional roller-coaster of losing 3 auctions and 2 offers, Nick was the only agent who really a) took me seriously from the start, b) bothered to establish a relationship, and c) proactively advised and assisted my house-hunt in earnest. He was not afraid to be honest, a trait which builds respect and trust. It was a long road for both of us, but after all the hard yards, I was thrilled it was he, who sold me my first house! Personality aside, and as a resident of the area for 10+ years, I was impressed with Nick's valuable insights on the area, something that only comes with experience and a penchant for property. Without hesitation, I will be looking to Nick when the time comes to sell or buy again (but i hope that won't be for a while yet! Sorry!). Thanks Nick!

Grant has a strong understanding of the market and was a pleasure to deal with. We like how he was prompt in answering our queries. We look forward to more of his assistance in the future for our property needs.

Mark is a hard-working agent who was great at being in touch during the sale campaign for my South Yarra apartment. I trust Hocking Stuart South Yarra, and Mark in particular, for their extensive knowledge of the South Yarra market. Mark is a great salesperson who, together with Georgia, achieved an excellent sale price.

Our contact with Hocking Stuart South Yarra began some 8 years ago when we purchased unit 1, 101 Caroline Street South Yarra at auction as an investment property. Peter Perrignon was the auctioneer at the time. Since that time HSSY have managed this rental property attentively and arranged trades people promptly when required and the unit had only been vacant two weeks. Earlier this year we decided to renovate the unit prior to sale, and Grant Wallace negotiated an early lease termination on our behalf on satisfactory terms and provided a schedule of trades people so we could renovate the unit which was very helpful as we reside in Sydney. During the renovation process I spent a number of weeks in Melbourne and am happy to say the trades people recommended by Grant Wallace actually turned up for quotes when promised and and those contracted actually turned up to undertake the works when promised. The quality of the work was very good and competitively priced and the interior display company recommended provided an excellent display to present the unit at its best. Grant Wallace provided recommendation on advertising and arranged photography, with open for inspections on Saturdays, midday midweek and evenings. There were considerable viewings and Grant provided regular feedback on the inspections, as promised. The auction was well attended and there were four serious bidders, a satisfactory result was achieved on the day. Grant conducted the auction in a very competent manner. We would have no hesitation in engaging Hocking Stuart South Yarra to manage another investment property or undertake a sales campaign for us in the future.

If you're selling an apartment in the South Yarra area you'd be hard pressed to find anyone as hooked in to the market as Nick. Throughout our campaign he provided insight to opportunities and managed to negotiate a great outcome before auction. We personally liked Nick's approach - never pushy, straight forward and very well informed.

Our experience with Mark was fantastic. He even managed to sell our apartment without placing an add online. This was a difficult challenge we set for him. He willingly took it on and delivered. Saving us thousands in advertising costs in the process and achieving a great final sale price. His local knowledge was extensive and he was a pleasure to deal with. Even assisting us with some friendly advice for our next purchase after the sale was done. I have to also mention his assistant Georgia Whitford was a huge help in the process bringing a lot of professionalism and skill to a great team.

Nick was throughout the entire campaign highly professional and helpful. His market knowledge and advice were central to our property reaching its potential.

Grant was fantastic, he was realistic not over selling expectation but got a great result. He respected that this was my first time selling so helped me through the whole process.

Charlotte and Myself were lucky enough to have Mark and his team onboard in the selling of our block apartment at 27 Darling st South Yarra. Mark and his talented team were more than knowledgeable and professional during the entire process, from organising inspections, handling advertising and liaising with potential clients Mark was always on the ball. We couldn't have asked for a better and reliable agent, they definitely delivered!!! But above all.......just a great bloke to have a around. Josh

Grant's handling of the sale of our property in South Yarra was extremely professional. There were frequent updates regarding potential buyers, and sound advice for preparing the property for the sale. The advice was both succinct and conveyed all relevant details needed to keep us fully informed of the progress in the lead up weeks and the day of the sale. Communication was frequent and informative every time.
