The old adage that selling your own home is stressful is certainly true for some. For us it really wasn't. Carl was the first real estate agent we contacted 12 months before we sold. In that period we also made contact with other agents. Carl presented a very professional report on what Hodges could do for us, if and when we decided to. The decision to engage Hodges and have Carl market our home was perfect. From day one he worked tirelessly with us, communicated clearly and had our interest at heart. His caring practical nature, market knowledge and ability to guide us through many difficult decisions is a credit to him. Most importantly, he is trustworthy and helped us achieve and exceed our goals. Both Josie and I would highly recommend Carl Hammond and the Hodges team, lead by their Director Marcus Falconer, who's auctioning skills are outstanding, to any prospective Geelong seller.

I visited the Property 3 times and every time Carl was very polite and helpful and l asked a lot of questions and also emailed and spoke to him on the phone. Always very pleasant no hesitation recommending him to people.

Very prompt at getting us through properties we were interested in and suggesting alternatives. Quick to negotiate an agreed price. We never felt we were subjected to “sales tactics”. Genuine.

“You were very thorough and professonal. I really appreciated how you were on top of things and how you kept us informed every step of the way.highly recommended.

Carl was excellent to deal with thorough, speedy and responsive. With the help of Stacey at Cate Bakos buyer advocacy we achieved a wonderful result. The process was seamless and we’re grateful to everyone involved.

Carl was able to use his expertise to assist me in making the right decision on what type of unit /apartment would best suit my needs and then assisted me with the purchase of a unit I am very happy with.

We have purchased 2 properties and sold 1 with Carl, and will contribute to use Carl in the future. He has been so easy to deal with and I appreciate his honestly and willingness to go the extra mile! Great work always!

Both my daughter and I could not fault the experience we had with dealing with Carl in our house purchase. From the first inspection to the signing of documents Carl was extremely patient and understanding with any concerns and the many questions we had. As we were purchasing during the midst of covid there were some hiccups along the way on our end yet Carl kept in contact with us and was always very accommodating. Was a pleasure dealing with Carl and can highly recommend getting in contact with him if you are looking at buying or selling

Carl has been fantastic to deal with in relation to the sale of the property. He has been professional all the way through and advised and worked hard to get the best possible outcome in relation to the price in such difficult times in 2020.

Thank you Carl for your services during the purchase of our new home in North Geelong! Buying a house is very daunting, especially during a pandemic but Carl has made the whole process as easy and as comfortable as possible. Carl has been fast to respond to any questions we have had and has been an overall excellent communicator. We would definitely recommend Carl as an agent!

Carl displayed a very good knowledge of the local property market and was courteous and helpful throughout our negotiations with him. He was easy to communicate with, had a good handle on the properties details and helped make it a positive experience for us.
