Sometimes saying less is saying more. If you are selling a property I can sum up my experience with Costa very succinctly - "He knows what he is doing". The next property I sell will be through Costa and the team at Belle. In fact over the years I rented through these guys/ladies, have bought property through these guys/ladies, have used these guys/ladies to manage rental property for me and I have sold property through these guys/ladies. I am not the type of bloke that likes "drama". I am not interested in nonsense, I need a "one stop shop". I just want the job done in a professional manner by people who know what they are doing and that's what you get with Costa, John, Emma and the team at Hocking Stuart/Belle in Barkley St St Kilda.

Although the market was challenging, Julian secured a great result for the sale of our investment property. He worked hard throughout the sale process and ensured we were updated on progress. His professionalism and knowledge was extremely helpful during the sale.

Working with Julian was a real pleasure from start to end. He is an extremely courteous young man, who operates with grace and good manners. He worked well to achieve a sale in the tricky Covid climate. He was quietly determined and without being overly pushy was certainly tenacious in following leads to achieve a good result. He never once left me hanging - he was particularly good on honest updates and a realistic fine-tuning of our strategy as we went along - and took the time to patiently explain his thoughts. He took my calls immediately - even on his holidays! A real asset to his company and a very good example of what the real estate industry should be looking for in its representatives.

I used Julian as a real estate agent to sell my two bedroom art deco St Kilda apartment one block from the beach. I found Julian a lovely person, really easy to talk to, consistent with communication and really easy to discuss market appraisal. He is a very sweet person. The apartment sold in four days - I know right? It was on the market for longer than this, however due to Covid restrictions buyers could not inspect. As soon as buyers could inspect, it sold. I had it on the market for $620K and while I sold below this figure - it was enought to enable me to buy a dream home on the Gold Coast. Working with Julian helped me achieve this dream. Thank you Julian!

Julian was an excellent person to work with. He was totally responsive to all my queries and provided comprehensive updates and projections right through the process. He is polite, very personable and determined. Without being too pushy he was able to engage prospective buyers completely u til the property was sold.

I have sold many properties with Sam over the last 5 years, including during the difficulties associated with covid. Each time Sam has displayed exceptional professionalism, real estate knowledge, commitment and high level negotiation skills to achieve outstanding results. I would not hesitate to engage Sam to act as my selling agent. One of the best in bayside Melbourne.

Same was always available and on top of everything with regards to our purchase of Docker St. He was friendly and professional in all cases and facilitated answers to anything that we needed to know about the property.

Sam was very professional, listen to my needs and kept me up to date in every step of the sale. At some point when it looked like I might not get the desired price, Sam worked with me on a plan instead of pushing me to sell in a lower price, which I’m very grateful for. I would recommend Sam to friends and would be happy to work with him again

So selling your house is said to be one of the most stressful experiences, add in a pandemic just for good measure. But introduce Sam Inan into the experience to completely change the whole process. Sam was incredible! His level of knowledge was outstanding, his approach to potential buyers was always positive and what blew us away was how close he stayed to the process, from the very first meeting, through to the very end. Sam was there, every phone call, every quick reply to every email. Nothing was ever too much trouble and we felt like we were in the hands of someone to truly cared, not only for us, but for potential buyers. We would hands down recommend Sam Inan to anyone looking to sell their property.
