At an auction the Market sets a property's true value. But it is the Agent's skill and endeavor in engaging that Market that is the crucial factor in having a successful auction outcome. Andrew and his team, particularly Alex, have been professional and astute through the entire process. They engaged and energized the 'right' potential buyers for our property and the resulting outcome at auction was exceptional.

Thanks for your help in selling my mother's unit under quite difficult circumstances. I found you and your team to be professional, helpful and diligent and we achieved a great result.

Andrew was extremely helpful through the whole process. He has exceptional knowledge of the Prahran area evident from our first meeting. We purchased before selling and he was available for advice through the whole process. When it came time to sell, Andrew outlined the process thoroughly and the team we would be working with. We felt fully informed and supported during the campaign and are thrilled with the result. We would highly recommend Andrew and the team at Hocking Stuart.

The house was sold at Auction with Mr Andrew Summons as auctioneer. The Auction and preceding campaign went smoothly and successfully and the outcome was above our expectation. Mr Summons and his team (Andrew James, Lauchlan Waterfield and Walter Summons) provided continuing feedback and followed up thoroughly on prospective buyers’ questions. Mid campaign meetings kept us fully informed of progress and very useful advice was given prior to auction day. The auction itself was very well staffed with support to bidders and especially support to us when we needed to decide on when to actually say that the house was on the market. Our auction stalled briefly at a figure just below the reserve and having a highly experienced member of the team with us at that moment helped immensely. Eventually, once the house was put on the market with their advice, a bidding war took the price up significantly. This indicates the value of the support given to us. Their advertising bill was sensible and fair and even coming in under budget. The campaign was short and effective. The human relation skills exercised by all staff were excellent. As for the auctioneer, Mr Summons is a very experienced auctioneer who we have seen conducting auctions in our area for 25 years, possibly more. He knows the psychology of the business well and he has a highly developed sense in auctions as to exactly when to act and in what way. We were extremely satisfied with hockingstuart’s handling of our sale and with the result.

this is my first dealing with Andrew and the team at Hocking Stuart, and i was most impressed. the campaign was very professionally managed, and i was updated after every open for inspection. i was particularly impressed with the way they managed the price expectation, building momentum as the campaign progressed. This enabled us to get a good crowd at the auction, and several people bidding to create some competition, and drive the price up! i would have no hesitation in recommending Andrew and his team.

Andrew James could not have worked harder to ensure a successful campaign. Everything from the initial proposal to the auction day was handled with complete integrity and professionalism. Have already recommended him to other friends in the market to sell their homes.

Lauchlan is an agent that stands out as an absolute professional. His listening & communication skills are first class. In my dealings with Lauchlan I found him to be pro active but not over powering. At every stage of the sales campaign he was able to concisely articulate buyer interest & likely outcomes.

Andrew, thank you on behalf of my family and myself for obtaining an outstanding price for the sale of our mother's house. You were professional and engaging throughout the whole marketing campaign. You understanding of the local property market was exceptional and greatly contributed to the end result. Your performance during the auction itself was described to me as inspring, humourours and authoritive. I would recommend yourself and your company to anyone willing to sell their house. I wish I had another house for you to sell!!

Andrew was the agent for the sale of a property in Upton Rd, Windsor. From our first meeting I found his approach to be honest and direct. The entire selling process was hassle free with Andrew providing detailed comments to me at every stage of the sale from preparation through to settlement. At no time was I left wondering what was happening with the sale and i felt confident that if the potential buyers were receiving half of the attention I was there was no doubt in my mind that every dollar was being chased on my behalf. I would recommend that anyone considering a sale in the area should deal with Andrew and his enthusiastic team.

I had used Hocking Stuart before in selling a dwelling. I was not disappointed in choosing them again. Andrew James and his team were very considerate to my long term tenant who as a result was very co operative with de cluttering the house and being very co operative on inspection days. The auction result with Andrew as the auctioneer was close to my expectations and most satisfactory. I would noty hesitate in recommending Hocking Stuart to manage your house sale.

Andrew James and his off-sider Fraser Cahill did a great job throughout the selling process, right up to and through the auction as well. I highly recommend Andrew as a fantastic agent, and would happily utilise his services again

Andrew was a great. He was very open and honest. He helped us with preparing our apartment for sale, engaging painters and designers to make the apartment look great for the photos and "open for inspections". He was a clear and concise communicator and I would highly recommend him to anyone selling in the area.
