Maurice was professional and easy to work with throughout our auction campaign. He put forward many useful and distinctive ideas, but was also open to our suggestions. His campaign attracted many buyers and he gave us good feedback throughout. At the end of the campaign, despite the distraction of a personal mishap, he conducted the auction and achieved a great price. I would not hesitate to sell through Maurice again.

The pre planning meeting for the auction was excellent with clearly defined targets in place. There was strong interest amongst the bidders and Maurice did an excellent job in getting the auction up and running . He sustained the momentum throughout and the resultant sale is very much reflection of his professionalism. He was well supported by the other Hocking Stuart sales team members ( special mention to Tim ) . Thanks again, for a job well done.

We used Chris from Hocking Stuart after buying the property from him 3 years prior. It made sense for us to use Chris after bumping into him at other opens in our area and being impressed with his local knowledge and sales history. The auction process for us was very nerve wracking but we got a fantastic result on the day. Overall we are very happy and would recommend Chris and the team from Hocking Stuart Balwyn/Surrey Hills.

Selling the family home is an emotional process. Having Chris guide us through each step of the way, was an absolute pleasure. His honesty and integrity were immediately apparent at our first meeting. Chris' knowledge and advice with regard to presentation, valuation, marketing strategy and timing of the auction, were absolutely brilliant. His work ethic was impeccable, while his compassion and understanding were always apparent. I cannot recommend Chris highly enough to anyone wishing to sell their home. He achieved a sale result way beyond my wildest dreams and greatly exceeded my expectations in every possible way.

To anyone thinking of selling their home, I would sincerely recommend Hocking Stewart (544 Whitehorse Road Surrey Hills - Cnr Union Road). Toby Parker & his staff were always there to help me sell my home. Selling to me, was quite stressful at times. But they were always there to help me whenever I rang them, taking the trouble out of selling & giving me a very good result. I am a very satisfied customer & would recommend them to anyone thinking of selling their home. Sincerely Margaret (formerly of Clifton Street, Balwyn North 3104)

At the time we were selling our house we were living interstate, Claire organised every aspect of the sale from having the pool serviced to getting the floors polished also arranging temporary furniture hire. We could not recommend a better agent. Claire worked tirelessly on our sale and we were very happy with the sale and price obtained was spot on. The agents and our valuation

Selling a home can be a stressful business of course, but Claire Wenn from Hocking Stewart Balwyn was a wonderful person to have in charge of this process. At all times she was relaxed and reassuring, and worked tirelessly throughout the campaign. We were always kept fully informed and up to date in all matters. Claire was professional and thorough. She understood and addressed any concerns we had during the sale campaign. The property sold at a price above our expectations. Thank you Claire. We would not hesitate in recommending Claire to anyone wishing to sell their property. Peter and Sue Buchanan.

When Selling an apartment in a larger complex it is important to have an agent that has a good knowledge of your complex. When interviewing agents for my sale it was obvious to me that Maurice and his staff from Hocking Stuart were outstanding in this area and the only agent to suggest sale by auction. I was kept fully informed through the sales campaign and the selection of Maurice was a reflection on the final result which was way over my expectations, outstanding and very informative Auction. No hesitation in recommending Maurice and his office. Peter.

I found Mark Purdey to be very professional and approachable. His knowledge of the Box Hill Market helped to make my decision making process much easier. I would be happy to use his services if the need ever arises if not I recommend him to anyone.

Dear Claire The first attempt to sell our house, with a competitor, was a disaster, no bids on auction day, no offers at all and frankly Tamara and I were wondering if we would ever be able to sell our house. We had an existing relationship with Hocking Stuart as we purchased our dream home from you 3 months earlier and you understood our situation. From that moment you told us you could sell our house. Over the next twelve months we had regular contact about the housing market, however at no time did we ever feel any pressure to list our house for sale with your company. In April 2015 our circumstances changed and we made the decision to list the house again and we appointed you as our agent. What a difference right from the start! The process mapping out the marketing campaign was not a sales push to buy “more marketing ” but more about how can we present the house to secure the best possible price. In the end, the result was exactly what we had hoped for the first time around. An offer before auction and the price achieved was due to your commitment, dedication, hard work and extremely professional team at Hocking Stuart. Tamara and I are immensely thankful and we certainly have no hesitation in remaining a customer of Hocking Stuart from either a vendor or purchaser view point. For now we wish you well and trust you continue to make many more buyers and sellers happy people in securing the great Australian dream. Tamara & Matthew

After meeting with (and interviewing) three local agents to Mont Albert it was an easy decision to choose Maurice and his team to sell my late father's and our family home. I was particularly impressed with the attractive and informative website for Hockingstuart. For me it was important to have an agent that was well recognised in the industry and this was well supported by the volume of properties for sale on their site. Maurice was quick to respond to early enquires and i liked that he had a good understanding of the desirability of the location not only anecdotally from his experience, but also from independent research from renowned resources. Tasked with selling the family home, as the vendor, i was interstate for the sales campaign. Maurice and his team, kept me up to date with interest generated through the sales campaign period at all times via email and mobile phone. The outcome from the auction exceeded all our expectations. I would highly recommend Maurice to represent the sale of your home. He understands his clients and more importantly understands how to generate interest in your home from potential buyers and through his expertise endeavours to provide a positive outcome for all.
