Grant was great to work with. He kept us informed on the progress of the sale of our property at every stage. I would highly recommend Grant and the agency Hocking Stuart South Yarra. This agency also sold my investment property prior to us working with Grant and I was extremely happy with the Auction result.

Thank you so much Grant for your help in selling my property. Grant made the process seamless and easy for me. He provided a very professional and friendly service and I felt informed and relaxed at all times. He is obviously very experienced in his field, I was very impressed with his communication and negotiation skills, and I would recommend Grant, Zoe and the team at hockingstuart South Yarra to anyone who is considering selling property.

A good friend who had used Grant twice recommended him to me. I met with him and his associate Zoe Harper and from the first meeting the synergy was obvious. He confirmed my research about the market, gave excellent insight into property in the abounding area with recent sale prices most importantly - he listened to what I was seeking to achieve. He mapped out a sales and marketing plan with contracts and other data beautifully bound and presented including recommendations re solicitors and property stylists. He and Zoe then rolled out the scheduled campaign seamlessly: photography, brochures, signage, advertising on and offline and multiple showings, communicating regularly by phone and email on progress throughout. The property went to auction within 4 weeks and we achieved an outstanding outcome. I was particularly impressed by Grant's enthusiasm, his remarkable knowledge of the area and his understated manner - under promising and over delivering. He is also a most impressive auctioneer - he and Zoe worked the crowd like rock starts!! Thank you Grant....we have some ongoing business coming up.

I would strongly recommend Mark for his ownership of the job in hand. I was kept informed at all times and he did not hesitate to put in the extra effort on my behalf when needed..

Mark Konishi was the selling agent for my property in Rockley Road South Yarra and produced a fantastic result at the auction. There were in excess of 60 people who turned out on the day which showed that Hocking Stuart had saturated the media and surrounding suburbs with information on the auction. Mark and the team followed through with everything that they told me to expect in relation to the selling process, needless to say that I would recommend Mark and Hocking Stuart for their great effort. Kind regards Peta Seargeant

Grant was the agent both for the purchase of my South Yarra property in 2006 and for its sale 8 years later. I recall clearly that of all the agents I met 8 years ago he was the only one who asked me what I was looking for and he was the only one who really listened to what I had to say. Thus it was no surprise when he called me a few days later to suggest that he had found a property that matched my criteria, one that I subsequently purchased and have loved living in. In the sale of the property Grant again demonstrated those same qualities that I saw 8 years earlier, only now they were enhanced by eight years of experience and a really deep knowledge of both the local market and human psychology, qualities that come in handy particularly in the lead up to a successful auction. Grant and his sales partner Zoe worked spectacularly well together, nurturing interest from potential buyers, while keeping open communication lines with me at all times. On the day, Grant conducted the auction with great professionalism, poise, and flair, keeping it moving along while remaining unflappable even in a few key moments early in the auction when my heart was about ready to jump out of my chest. There is no doubt that in my mind that his expert advice with respect to staging the property, his skillful cultivation of potential buyers, and his professionalism and ease in the role of auctioneer contributed greatly to the absolutely outstanding sales result on the property I was selling. Grant understands that buying and selling property is both a financial and deeply personal decision and he has the knowledge, professionalism, and human qualities to help guide you and keep you feeling safe throughout the process. This is really an added bonus it seems to me, making him a rare agent that goes beyond simply being able to produce a good result. I could not recommend him more highly!

I first contacted Nick several years ago to get an objective market view. Over the years, whenever I had a query - I'd send him an email - he always got back to me - more than happy to help. He'd touch base with me every now and again....but no pressure, just consistent good service. Finally when I decided I was ready to sell - I called Nick. Sure I got other quotes and valuations, just to be sensible, but the conversations only highlighted how on the ball Nick is. When dealing with my tenants he was fantastic - they felt respected and informed. Only another reason to pick Nick. I was selling from out of state - not a problem! We had regular chats/emails...send me photos to see how they were setting up the property, Nick and his team dealt with everything for me. I trusted Nick and it made the decisions I had to make so much easier. Nick orchestrated a seasoned and sophisticated campaign that got me significantly more than I expected to achieve. Although I was sick with nerves on the morning of the auction...Nick had already talked me through the process, step by step, so I knew exactly what was happening every step of the way. That gave me comfort. The results speak for themselves - I got a great result! The buyer is happy. It was a smooth process that was hassle free for me. Thank you Nick, Jessica and the team at Hocking Stuart - South Yarra. Seriously impressed!
