Having been a real estate agent years ago, I had a very critical check list to find the right agent and agency. We renovated our property to where I knew it would sell, so I didn't want an agent who could just "sell" the house. We needed an agent that would get the absolute MOST for our property that the market could offer, through the campaign, professional follow up, auction buyer preparation, and final auction day. After several agency interviews, the most impressive was Daniel & Adam from Hocking Stuart Chelsea who gave me confidence that all the critical elements to a successful and professional campaign were going to be met. And throughout the campaign, they did not disappoint. The high level of detailed preparation that Adam put together for our opens (including public transport maps, rental return estimates, local area info, etc) gave buyers confidence the agent they were speaking with knew not only about the property but about the surrounding area. His genuine nature and prompt followup were very well received on both ends. Daniel's extensive area knowledge and similarly genuine character ensured every buyer he spoke with felt assured and well informed rather than hearing a practiced speech by a pushy salesman. Auction day came with a massive turn out and with the professional and experienced lead of Daniel running the auction, it ended with a fantastic result well above our reserve. I wouldn't hesitate recommending either Daniel or Adam to any of my friends or family when wanting to sell their home. And that's saying a lot from a former real estate agent! Dina Maihi
