We were extremely pleased and satisfied with the professional service provided by the team at Hocking Stuart Preston, from the early appraisal stage through to the successful sale. Thanks very much to Josie and Joe, in particular to Josie who communicated effectively and warmly and was always encouraging. She worked diligently to achieve a great result for us.

Although we did not achieve the sale price...

Although we did not achieve the sale price within the initial expected price range, we believe the outcome was due to current market conditions. Josie gave her all in negotiations and promoting our apartment and we strongly believe no other agent would have achieved a better result. We thank Josie for her energy and commitment to achieving the best outcome possible.

I have Hockingstuart and Josie managed my rental property before. They were alway on top of things and well communicated. When I decide to sell my property they were the only choice that I would work with. I didn't compare with any other agent I the area because I know that I can trust Josie and her team.

Cathal was great to work with, was responsive...

Cathal was great to work with, was responsive and informative on the processes and communication. Could not fault Cathal on his communication and understanding of our situation. Note: the problems we encountered were with the processes themselves (or the timelines) and with our lack of understanding on “the next steps” for bank/conveyancing etc. we are in nether. Country vic, where a contract does not need to be signed for the offer. This then started a chain reaction of not meeting deposit terms, organising building inspection, then following up with the cooling off period. Although “preapproved”, the bank and there processes held up deposit. Adding a lot of confusion, and time urgent items, which is extremely stressful and affected our family/life/work. Understanding you work for the vendor, but not sure if this is a new Melbourne thing because of the market - it did not occur like this when we bought in Melb about 15 yrs ago.

Josie was fantastic in all communications, always quick to respond and a pleasure to deal with. She made the process very easy, even working out of business hours to help me secure the property.
