John was wonderful all the way through from first visit to our house to after the successful sale. We had many conversations which were always pleasant and while John maintained a professional manner we found him friendly and relatable. Communication was so important. It was a really nice experience selling our house.

We enjoyed Costa's enthusiasm and organisation when selling our home. The communication was so friendly....we kind of miss him now. He seemed totally committed and was always at the other end of the phone when we had questions. We were happy with the result and can now go shopping for a new house. We wish him all the best in a very long career ahead that he seems to love.

We couldn’t have been happier with the service and the result we got for the sale of our apartment with Sam and Julian. We had a number of agents through to look at our property and we chose Sam and Julian based on a recommendation from a friend (who had an outstanding result with them for their 3 bedroom St Kilda east apartment) and because we were so impressed by their strategic and positive approach. Where other agents were bemoaning the changes to the laws around valuing properties and price estimates, Sam and Julian were talking strategically about how they work within the laws and deliver great results for their vendors. I appreciated their optimism and enthusiasm for their work. We never felt any pressure from Sam or Julian to sign with them but when we called to say we were ready to go, they made themselves immediately available to us and acted swiftly to help us get the campaign underway. Their support team including assistant, copy writer, photographers and conveyancer, were equally as on the ball. Every exchange was friendly and professional. Sam and Julian had a decisive strategy for our oversized one bedroom apartment and delivered a result for us that we were thrilled with and that was right within what they estimated we could get for the apartment. The apartment was bought by a couple in the demographic that they had advised would likely be interested too - which makes me feel like they really know the market. During the campaign Sam and Julian were attentive and thorough. They met with leads outside of advertised open times and kept us well informed and managed our expectations well. Even though our apartment was much more modest than some of the other properties they had listed, we felt they really cared about getting us the best possible result. And they negotiated well on the auction day to ensure that we did.

Julian Cannata has been very honest & straight forward throughout the process of selling our property. He kept us constantly informed. The communication back & forth was regular – by phone & email. I liked how we would receive a report through our email that enabled us to see the actual comments that people made during inspections. I felt we worked as a team & that Julian & Sam worked well as a team in selling our property. I felt there was a whole team behind the scenes that supported the process, so as a company, I recommend Hocking Stuart St Kilda! Thanks again so much Julian, we are so happy with the result, & I am happy to recommend you to others.

It is with pleasure that I write a review for Sam Inan. He has been very honest & straight forward about the property that we were selling. Spot on with valuing it. Kept us constantly informed. The communication back & forth was regular – by phone & email. I felt we worked as a team. Sam’s Executive Assistant Lyndsey Hollywood was also great to work with & no doubt she is an asset working with Sam. I really felt there was a whole team behind the scenes that supported the process, so as a company, I recommend Hocking Stuart St Kilda! Thanks again so much Sam, we are so happy with the result, & I am happy to recommend you to others.

Julian is efficient, patient, helpful, respectful and very knowledgeable. He is always willing to assist with any query we may have. Lovely guy too!

From the moment I met Sam were impressed with his enthusiasm and knowledge Sam is friendly, honest and efficient always keeping us up to date with our campaign. His communication skills are second to none. Would definitely recommend Sam - a very professional agent !I
Sam Inan
Right from the start I had confidence in John because he communicated so well and often. At every stage of the process of property preparation for auction, the legal paperwork and the lead up to auction day, he kept me in the loop. Even though the property did not sell at auction he assured me it would sell very soon, and it did. He negotiated a price with a buyer that suited all, and very efficiently sent through the paperwork within 30 minutes. He is a busy man, but I felt he was working for me, as his attention to detail was admirable. Thanks John.

Couldn't fault the service from the start, good advice and guidance on how to best present the property for sale including organising work that needed to be done, excellent ongoing communication on progress, results of open days and generally keeping us fully informed and we got a sale!

Sam and his team were excellent throughout the sale of our St Kilda property. We were in Sydney throughout the campaign and Sam made the process very easy. We were very happy with his advice and I have no hesitation in recommending him. We will use him again in the future. Cam
