I thought Andrew James was exceptional in how he handled the whole campaign and auction day for my property. In the future I will seek Andew to sell my next property. He is extremely professional, charismatic, has excellent knowledge of the market and a brilliant auctioneer. Andrew had to work hard on auction day to keep the buyers bidding and motivated. The auction result was excellent thanks to his experience. Andrew has worked for many years in Armadale and I remember meeting him when I bought my first apartment many years ago. He is dedicated and in the property market for the long term. In addition his team/agencies (the property styling, advertising copywriting, and photography) was outstanding! We had no issues through the campaign. Better than other agents I have worked with.

I have known James professionally for 5 years since he started selling property in the building. At all times he has been enthusiastic, willing to listen, given attention to detail and successful in all areas of the marketing and as an auctioneer.

James was great to deal with on the sale of my unit in Prahran. It was only a one-bedroom, but James always made me feel like my property was important to him. He was always available and kept me updated at every turn. He's hard-working and always gave me the reality of what was happening - never trying to sugar-coat things only to knock the wind out of your sails later. Would definitely use him and again and recommend to others.

Lauchlan was excellent. He put us in touch with all the right people to prepare the property, was always available to let in tradespeople and potential purchasers and kept us constantly updated regarding potential buyers. He and the team at Hocking Stuart definitely understood the local market and the realised value on sale justified the agent's fee many times over

Very pleased to have James as our agent. From the first meeting to the moment the property was sold, we found him to be professional, realistic and capable to identify the genuine interested buyers. Well done, James.

My flat in Winter Street Malvern was recently sold by Lauchlan of Hocking Stuart Armadale. It was a very professional campaign handled extremely well by Lauchlan and his assistant Carla. I was very happy with the way they both kept me continuously updated and informed at all times. Lauchlan was a great help explaining the campaign process along with the pros and cons and even helped to arrange small but important details such as display furniture. He also scheduled additional open sessions during the campaign to keep the momentum going and went the 'extra step' on more than one occasion during the lead up to the auction. He was very clear on explaining the auction process and on the day was calm and in control of the situation at all times. The property was sold post-auction within 24 hours and the weekend work of Lauchlan and Carla was dedicated and very impressive, nothing was too much bother or too late to call. Lauchlan ended up negotiating for a price greater than I said I was willing to accept and I was very happy with the outcome. I was very comfortable during the entire process and I would have no hesitation in recommending Lauchlan to anyone wishing to sell their property. Steve Marsh

We found Andrew to be very professional, efficient and he communicated with us throughout the whole campaign- keeping us sane - as it is not every day you sell your house. His skills and knowledge were second to none, and his team were fabulous too. Very happy indeed!

Met lauchie at an open for inspection a few years ago and he kept in touch with us over time. Very professional and personable, he kept us calm throughout the process especially on auction day when all the stress kicked in. I highly recommend lauchie to anyone looking for an agent

From our first meeting with Andrew (and Eloise), we knew he was the agent for us. He was clearly familiar with our area - Windsor/Prahran - and he brought all of his knowledge and expertise to the table when selling our house. Importantly, Andrew plays by the book, so we knew we could trust him to look out for our best interests while doing the right thing as an agent. Andrew was also fantastic at communicating with us at every step of our campaign; and sharing his advice post-campaign as well. We would recommend Andrew to anyone!

Andrew has sold two properties for us and both times he and his team have been outstanding from the start to the finish of the sales process. He is professional, communicates very well, is energetic, has a thorough knowledge of the market and his skills as an auctioneer are second to none. On both occasions he has achieved outstanding results for us, above our expectations. We know the next time we sell a property it will be in safe hands with Andrew at the helm.

In 2013 I bought a property of Lauchlan and was so impressed with his professionalism and overall approach that when it was time to then sell that particular property in 2018 I knew Lauchlan was the best person for the job - and he didn't let me down. Lauchlan guided us in the renovation of our property to prepare it for sale and then proceeded to put together an excellent marketing campaign which ultimately achieved a great result. and made himself available for any questions or queries I had. If your looking to sell in the Armadale area I cannot recommend Lauchlan and his team highly enough. Anthony Morley

We sold our art deco apartment in Armadale with Andrew. He set our expectations accurately and managed the sales process with us well. He was positively communicative and managed our anxieties, aspirations and queries well. Andrew has a very confident and collaborative approach which gave us the confidence we needed throughout the process. We were happy with the result. Thanks Andrew!
