I had the pleasure of dealing with Julian for the sale of a family property in St Kilda East, in conjunction with his director, Sam Inan. Julian was always prompt in contacting me with feedback after every open for inspection. We got a great result and I would not hesitate to recommend Julian, Sam and the Hocking Stuart team at St Kilda.

As Sam Inan's offsider, Julian was a pleasure to work with when it came to selling our investment unit and former much-loved home. He communicated clearly, courteously and as frequently as he promised. His presentation was always excellent, which is especially important given Julian handled many of our opens for inspection. Nothing was too much trouble for Julian, and we are grateful for all of his hard work in helping to make our sale happen.

After previous experiences with agents who communicated poorly or dropped the ball, working with Sam was like a breath of fresh air. From day one, he was attentive, informative, extremely hard-working and most importantly, honest. As a vendor, one is always aware of the incentives agents have to achieve a sale irrespective of price. With Sam, we always felt he was focused on our interests and his reputation rather than the commission from a quick sale. He worked as hard for the last $5k as the first $5k, which, when one is selling an investment property that was once a much-loved home, was especially gratifying. We have no hesitation in recommending Sam for anyone looking to sell a property in the bayside area or beyond.

Sam is an impressive agent.. Across the time of our advertisement period he kept us fully informed of the interest in the property and utilised that insight in advice on setting/adjusting the reserve figure. He responded to email queries promptly and helped out in a minor complication concerning signatures on the contract. On sale day he was very clear with us about his tactics an as an auctioneer, and then we could see that he managed the flow of bids effectively. i would recommend him to anyone who wants to sell a house and feel they are part of the process. .

We engaged Sam Inan from Hocking Stuart St Kilda to sell our house. It sold for a record price. We could not fault Hocking Stuart or Sam in all our dealings and recommend him to anyone selling their property.

I recommend John wholeheartedly. John is not only a great agent with impeccable professional skills he is also a really nice person. It is very stressful selling a house (especially a family home of 40 years). John was always respectful of my emotions throughout the process. And of course he was able to give good professional advice and achieve a excellent result at our auction. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone else.

Sam is the best real estate agent and auctioneer you can find. He's my favourite auctioneer. I've been to many auctions and I have never seen an auctioneer that can even compare to Sam's expertise in the area. He has amazing unique skills to sell a place on auction. He's honest and straightforward. I'd recommend that anyone who is trying to sell their property should use Sam.

I engaged Julian and Sam Inan to sell two apartments in St Kilda. From the first meeting l found Julian to be extremely professional and knowledgeable about the selling campaign we were embarking on. Julian was most efficient in viewing my properties, coming out the very afternoon after our first meeting. Throughout the selling of my properties, Julian kept me informed, and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Julian and the team at Hockingstuart, you made a possible stressful event much smoother. Sam and Julian look forward to a continuing professional relationship. Regards, Faye Buttner

I engaged Sam Inan to sell two properties of mine in St Kilda. I found Sam to be extremely knowledgeable on the area, and very enthusiastic about the campaign. Throughout the whole selling process, l never once had to chase Sam up as to the status of the campaign, and was always kept well informed of potential buyers and progress of the sale. I would have no hesitations recommending Sam and his team to any prospective vendors. From the beginning to the end, the level of professionalism was exemplary. Many Thanks, Faye Buttner.

When we decided to sell our St Kilda apartment we selected Hocking Stuart to manage the campaign. From the beginning we found the team to be knowledgeable and personable. Costa had recently sold a property across the road with great success, so we felt comfortable that we were dealing with an agent who knew the area well and could achieve good results. Throughout the campaign Costa's communication was excellent; we always received timely updates following the open for inspections, and any questions we had were promptly answered. We felt Costa worked very hard to show all prospective purchasers through the property, and felt confident when it came to auction day that the campaign had been a success with all potential buyers having been reached. The auction results spoke for themselves; the apartment sold for well above our reserve! It was a pleasure dealing with Costa Karabatsos; I have no hesitation in recommending Costa and the Hocking Stuart St Kilda team.
