Andew Dowton – more like Andrew Selltown! What an experience it was to have Andrew as our agent, he is not only personable but he is also incredibly patient with new sellers. This was the first house we have sold and after interviewing several agents in the altona north area, no one had the persona of Andrew, he is in essence an outstanding professional.. however, on a personal level he is time efficient and makes you feel comfortable despite the 123214315124 lockdowns we have now been through. Andrew sold our house for what was a tidy little profit that will set my wife and I up for an incredible future. I can’t thank Andrew enough! (And obviously the hocking stuart team that Andrew worked with). Thank you so much Andrew. You’re a superstar

From our first communications with Andrew he was easy to deal with,prompt with his responses to any query and kept us informed of anything that was required leading up to the auction. He comes highly recommended if you are looking for an Agent who is knowledgeable and dedicated to achieve the best result possible.

Andrew was diligent, thorough, honest & his communication excellent. He went above & beyond to make sure we got the best price for our home while walking us through every step. Highly recommended

Having never sold a property before in Australia, Andrew guided us through the process with his calm measured approach. We particularly liked Andrew’s honest assessment of our property and the work that required to get it to a saleable standard. He kept us well informed at each stage of the process, he was easily contactable in and out of business hours to work around our schedule. The feedback he provided after the open for inspections gave very valuable insights. We sold the house within less than a week and achieved a great result with Andrew’s assistance. Andrew is highly experienced and has extensive knowledge of the property market. If you are looking for an agent that is down to earth and is straight taking, we would highly recommended Andrew.

The time has come to move on from Altona North for which I called home for five years and loved every minute. After completing a review of numerous real estate agents I decided to go with Hocking Stuart. This is where I had the pleasure of meeting Andrew Dowton who more than adequately guided me through the process of selling my property. I found Andrew to be very knowledgeable in relation to the local market conditions and answered all my questions on a timely and in a professional manner. Andrew's presentation and communication skills exceeded my expectations of a down to earth and competent real estate agent.

Andrew provided excellent advice and expertly guided me through the selling process. He kept me well informed and I appreciated his open, honest and detailed feedback after every inspection. He also liaised with the tenants to arrange suitable viewing times whilst the property was on the market. He remained calm and confident during unforeseen challenges including the snap five day lock down in Melbourne. I was extremely impressed by his dedication and commitment to achieving a great experience and outcome for all those involved. I highly recommend Andrew to others who are wishing to sell their property.

It was a delight to deal with Andrew regarding my recent house purchase. He enabled a smooth process from start to finish. I highly recommend him as an agent to go through.

Super friendly and helpful, Andrew responded promptly when we had queries and helped us secure our family home. Very knowledgeable about the area also. Thanks so much Andrew!

Andrew was very easy to deal with throughout the purchasing process. I found him straight talking with no “waffle” and we felt we were dealt with as people and not just a potential buyer. Our purchase was processed around the Christmas/New Year period and we had some delays but Andrew remained calm throughout and worked with us through those. We would highly recommend Andrew based on his unique, down to earth approach and wish him well with his future dealings.

I was fortunate that the property I recently purchased was through Andrew. From first phone call to settlement ( and his support is ongoing), Andrew showed all the professionalism, respect, reassurance, knowledge, prompt action and commitment that I could want. Each process of the purchase was carefully coordinated to provide a satisfying outcome for both parties. Thanks Andrew, you are highly recommended.

Andrew went beyond our expectations to support us in selling our property. His enthusiasm, combined with his friendly and relaxed manner provided us with a great experience.

Andrew is a easy-going, reliable and honest agent. He is a genuine person who values your time and goes out of his way to accommodate your needs. From our initial meeting through to settlement, Andrew was diligent and ensured no detail was missed. Communication is no doubt one of his best assets and we thoroughly appreciate his hard work. We would recommend him highly.
