5× RateMyAgent Agent of the Year – Forster-Tuncurry
2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2025 | 2026
When you're selling your biggest asset, choosing the right agent matters.
You need more than someone who can put your property online. You need an experienced local agent who knows how to position your property, generate buyer interest, create competition and negotiate strongly when it matters most.
That's what I do.
I'm David Hochkins, Sales Manager and Licensed Real Estate Specialist at Pacific Coast Property Network, with a proven track record of achieving outstanding results for property owners throughout Forster, Tuncurry and the surrounding region.
I have been named RateMyAgent Agent of the Year for Forster-Tuncurry five times – 2021, 2022, 2023, 2025 and 2026. This recognition is particularly meaningful because it reflects the experiences and reviews of real clients.
Experience. Strategy. Negotiation. Results.
Successful property sales are about far more than advertising a property and waiting for buyers to appear.
I take the time to understand your property, your circumstances and your objectives before developing a tailored strategy designed to maximise exposure, attract the right buyers and create the strongest possible negotiating position.
I believe the best agents don't simply find a buyer.
They create competition, protect their client's position and negotiate hard when it matters most.
My approach combines professional presentation, targeted digital and social media marketing, extensive buyer database exposure, proactive buyer engagement and consistent follow-up throughout the campaign.
The objective is simple:
Create maximum buyer interest. Generate competition. Achieve the strongest possible outcome.
Local knowledge matters
As a long-term local resident and active member of the local community and sporting groups, I have an intimate knowledge of Forster, Tuncurry and the surrounding areas.
I understand the different pockets of our market, what attracts buyers to particular locations and how to communicate the lifestyle that makes our region such a desirable place to live.
I also hold a Diploma in Agency Management, combining formal industry knowledge with years of practical experience in property sales and negotiation.
A commitment to my clients
Selling property can be a significant financial and emotional decision. My clients deserve an agent who takes ownership of the process from beginning to end.
That means honest advice, clear communication, proactive buyer follow-up and keeping my clients informed throughout the campaign.
I don't believe my job is finished when the property is listed.
My job is to maximise the opportunity right through to negotiation, exchange and settlement.
