John Manning was our agent when selling 22 Mason Ave, Elwood. John had a great understanding and knowledge of the area. We were very impressed with his communication, touched base with us during the sale.We could not be happier, and what an amazing result he got on auction day.!! I would highly recommend John and Hocking Stuart.

Overall great rounded service provided with a excellent result for our house. Sam listen to our needs and wants when selling our house and was very motivated and explored his resources to achieve the best result. Sam Keep us informed at every point extending himself into what i would consider personal time. The teams feedback and his advice helped us make decisions whilst leaving us in control of the final say. Very pleased with the outcome and the process that got us there.

We bought 6/35 John st of John Manning in approx 2006,we came from country Nsw and we're looking for a property for our daughter to live in as she was moving to Melbourne We have been in the building industry for 50yrs and have delbt with numerous realestate agents over that time . We found john to be up there with the top end of the industry,so much so as we contacted him to sell the same property for us in November 2015 with a very satisfactory result Roz and Phil Andrea

We can't speak highly enough of John Manning and the team from Hocking Stuart's St Kilda office. The campaign was executed perfectly, under fairly tight time constraints, and John kept us informed of its progress every step of the way. He is friendly, engaging and nothing seems to be too much trouble. We were extremely happy with the end result, due in no small part to John's negotiating ability (we ended up selling before auction). But the best thing for me was how both John and Rob Harvey supported us during the purchase of our new house in the months beforehand – even being there on auction day to lend their support. This was, in my view, above and beyond what we could reasonably have expected, given there were no commitments in place at that time. It was such a great help to us as we navigated the often tricky road of looking for a new home. Overall, we were very happy with the final outcome and could not fault the planning, service or communication throughout. We would heartily recommend John and his team to anyone looking to sell their home. Michael & Belinda

John is great to work with and very knowledable about the Elwood area. Have used Hocking Stuart twice and both times happy with the results. Thanks John!

Costa Karabatsos was brilliant to deal with as we had personal circumstances that meant, we needed to rely on Costa over and beyond what would be required of an agent. Costa always went the extra distance, was helpful, polite and a true professional. Costa, very evidently, is passionate about what he is doing and this was obvious in the many dealings I was able to witness and experience first hand. Presentation of himself and assistance with our property, and a welcoming personality to people attending inspections, and help so that our home looked at it's best, along with detailed knowledge acquired if our property, lead to a great result in the auction of our unit in Westbury Street. Costa was nothing less as a representative of Hocking Stuart as expected and this company has a very fine reputation within our suburb. Costa was a delight to deal with and he really deserves a good critique as he really did everything he could to help us. Enthusiasm and a positive approach were consistent and this helped our great result. Thank you Costa and the team at Hocking Stuart.

It was an absolutete pleasure working with Sam Inan and the team at Hocking Stuart St Kilda in the recent sale of our property in Elwood. High level of professionalism, communications and negotiating skills all added up to a vet satisfactory result.
Sam Inan
Sam well and truly exceeded all of our already high expectations. He was at all times professional, courteous and a pleasure to deal with. More importantly, however, he delivered on auction day with his outstanding negotiating skills. We highly recommend and would not hesitate to engage Sam in the future.

Hi Rob Just a note to thank you Sam, Dan and the rest of the team involved for the excellent job you have all done in the selling of mum and dad’s property. As you know it was an emotional sale for us, with the house having been in the family for so long and I really appreciate the teams understanding of our situation. Mark certainly made the right choice when giving you the job of selling the house and we could not have been happier with the communication, commitment and overall time and effort the team gave to ensure such a good outcome. Sam has to be auctioneer of the year, he does an amazing job. Family members watching all commented on his exceptional talent as an auctioneer. Once again Rob on behalf of the family thank you all for your support and extremely professional approach over the past weeks. Well done! Cheers Pam Hayes

We cannot fault Sam Inan in the slightest. From the first time we met him and throughout the entire campaign, Sam kept us up to date, informed and education on the whole selling process. Sam is incredibly trustworthy, genuine, realistic and most of all friendly. Nothing is too hard or inconvenient for him. Sams knowledge of the Elwood/ St Kilda area and his ability to communicate with both sellers and buyers and keep them engaged is second to none. He does everything with a smile on his face and is probably the hardest working professional we know!! We cannot thank Sam enough for such an incredible result and cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are considering Sam to run your campaign, do yourself a favour and don't hesitate - you will not be disappointed the honesty, integrity and personable nature of Sams character. Thank you for all your hard work Sam, it has been an absolute pleasure working with you!
