Having spoken to John a few times about selling my property, I eventually took the plunge with his help ( as I was interstate ) . He was extremely helpful in organising things for me , had the right contacts and made it so easy . I am very grateful for his expert advice and help pre-sale, and the professional team work during the sale process. I am very happy with the result that the Hocking Stuart team produced through my rental time with them, and my eventual sale of the property.

Before appointing Sam Inan we interviewed a number of agents and viewed their performance at auction. We were confident that we had chosen well but always concerned by the what if's. Sam was a calming influence in a process that could become emotionally charged. He kept to his promise of communicating at all steps along the way and introduced us to some very good service providers who ensured that we were able to present the house at its best. The video was fantastic as were the photographs. Not everything went the way we wanted, but Sam was able to explain his decisions, listened to our point of view and guide us on the right path. Happy to recommend Sam to all.

John and his team sold my house with overwhelming sucess. John continuously displayed a professional, positive and enthusiastic approach. His knowledge and experience were evident throughout the process. During the open for inspections i was kept well informed with regular updates and email summaries. Although some aspects of the service provided by Hocking Stuart could have been improved (communication and organisational skills) i was overall very satisfied.

I found Julian a man that believed and practiced good service, nothing was too much trouble. I bought a unit at auction that Julian was coordinating. Julian presented the unit to its full potential and knew the product he was selling. All technical questions I asked Julian he knew or he immediately followed up with the vendor and got back to me in a timely manner. If you want a honest, young, keen, good communicator I would recommend Julian to both vendors and purchasers.

I would highly recommend Sam and Rob as most professional, passionate and Sincere representatives of our property. They take the interests of their clientele very seriously, and have communicated all through the campaign the feedback necessary to make informed decisions.Their negotiation skills are of a very sophisticated caliber, and I would highly recommend them as agents to represent my property any time.

From day one, when I have to select among the agents to go with the sale. Sam Inan and Julian Cannata have impressed us with a great deal of information about my property which is more than what I personally know. All the proposed sale solution details made a lot of sense to us. Sam has fantastic communication skills. Based on all that factors, we decided to go with Sam. We followed all Sam's suggestions such as extra painting for the front look, renting furniture, and extra cleaning. All turned out to be absolutely right to do since it helped so much to attach the buyers' emotion. Sam and Julian kept us very up to date with what is going on in the auction campaign in person, on the phone and emails. All meetings we had covered important information for decisions. After every events such as inspection or important enquiry, Sam called me to let me know in details. We are very happy with those email reports which details all the facts about the buyers. What we love is that we have got the "bad" news as well as the good news so we can become very realistic. In the before auction meeting, Sam and Julian shared with us the details of the auction strategy which we found brilliant. And on the auction day, it happened exactly as Sam said. We appreciated very much Sam and Julian have put the heart and intelligence in place to make this sale successful. We already recommended Sam to our relatives and neighbours. My uncle Mr.Sai, will soon sell his properties in Laverton and he would love Sam to be his agent. In the future, when we have anything to do with property, we will definitely contact Sam.

I have just experienced the most amazing week of my life, from the very successful auction of my house and your expertise, advice and negotiation of the purchase of my new home in Mornington. From the very beginning, when I decided it was time, after forty years, to sell 29 Mason Avenue, Elwood, I had quiet confidence that you and your Company would achieve the best result for me. Thank you for keeping me well informed after each inspection, your constant feedback and updates, was very much appreciated. One again, Many Many Thanks to you and all the team at Hocking Stuart. Special thanks also to John Carter who did a magnificent job as Auctioneer. I have no hesitation in highly recommending your company to anyone wishing a very professional and successful sale of their property.

After being given the run around by an infuriating & unprofessional agent we were recommended Sam & never looked back. The simplest things were done the best Inc. communication & honesty which is all you strive for. Our goals were met & after years of dealing with Real Estate agents I couldn't feel more satisfied with the entire process - Great Work Sam & team - Thank you.

We were very pleased with Sam's efforts on our behalf in selling our house by auction. Throughout the marketing campaign, from initial contact to the follow up after the sale, the support he provided to us as vendors was very comforting. He worked exceptionally hard in negotiating with potential buyers and kept us informed of everything that was happening. His energy is amazing. We would recommend him wholeheartedly.
