His and Bri were the ultimate team. They walked us through the process and informed us of every variable right from the start. They were caring, empathic and really like what they do. Obviously you never know what will happen on auction day, so being prepared for any outcome was key. Thankfully we good an amazing result and we couldn’t have done it without them.

I originally bought my property through Hocking Stuart. I had such a good experience that I contacted them straight away when I wanted to sell. They made the entire process easy, seamless and also compassionate. I am so grateful for a great result. Thank you.

After mixed experiences with several agencies...

After mixed experiences with several agencies in our local area, we settled on Hocking Stuart Preston and never looked back. Joe, Josie and their wonderful team have always worked diligently to manage our investment property right up until its recent sale. Ashleigh is an amazing Property Manager, who always brings great energy and a proactive approach. Ash always kept us updated on the health of our property, status of our tenants, their living experience and any maintenance issues that arose from time to time. Ashleigh would always present with honest and considered advice and recommendations when we sought it. We always had peace of mind, knowing our property was in her care and we were so lucky to have her for as long as we did. Joe and the wider team were all instrumental in leading a strategic approach to the sale of our first home. From our initial decision to sell right through to the auction, all aspects including minor preparation works for sale, market analysis, the advertising campaign, the intel we received after each inspection - everything was perfectly timed and sequenced. Joe is a very experienced auctioneer and negotiator, who finds the balance in guiding you through the process whilst always making you feel in control. Ably supported by Josie, Brie and Lucy - the whole team fully appreciate the significance of their client's important life decisions. We couldn't have asked for a better outcome and we will forever be in their debt. Jess and Paul

Josie Galati is an exceptional agent and outstanding auctioneer. Josie and her team at Hockingstuart Preston tailored a great marketing plan, were extremely helpful, supportive, professional, and a pleasure to deal with (Gavin you’re a star!). We were provided with clear and consistent communication throughout the selling process, including a phone call after every open for inspection, followed by a written report. Using her refined communication skills, Josie navigated our tricky family situation with compassion and ease. A consummate professional, she handled all matters thoughtfully and sensitively, making for a seamless experience. Josie’s a real class act! Josie’s auctioneering prowess shone through on the day of the auction, landing us a result that far exceeded our expectations. Our property sold for well above the asking price, and we are thrilled with the results! We would highly recommend Josie and the team at Hockingstuart Preston to anyone looking to sell their property. Thank you Hockingstuart for making this such a great experience – 10/10!

Joe has now sold two properties for our family...

Joe has now sold two properties for our family; he always goes beyond he's means to ensure our expectations are met. We would not hesitate to recommend Hockingstuart Preston, to friends and family. Joe & Jossie are also fantastic supporters in their local community, with over 10 years supporting the Preston Bullants junior and senior Clubs. It's not always about selling houses.

Personal and Warm I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience of selling the former family home! From the moment I reached out to Josie Galati and the team at Hockingstuart Preston, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. They made the entire process stress-free and seamless. They truly understood my needs, provided excellent advice on pricing, and marketed the property at its best.
