Dynamic agent, great result
I bought my Melbourne apartment through Hocking Stuart, and used them as my letting agent when I moved to the UK, so I knew them to be one of the most active and knowledgeable real estate agents in Melbourne, particularly for the city centre.
Gina was very clear and candid about the market conditions, confirming my own research, and we agreed realistic expectations.
She was highly organised and pro-active from the start of the process, helping my through the process to get the apartment on the market very quickly with all of the paperwork and activities in place. She helpfully recommended solicitors and stylists, and liaised with them to make the coordination extremely smooth, given that I was overseas and in another time zone. She was again pro-active in making sure that issues arising were dealt with quickly, and without unnecessary delay or complication.
She quickly identified potential buyers, and we discussed and agreed positions on the best offer received. From there, she proved an extremely effective negotiator, exceeding both my expected selling price, and the timeframes for the marketing and completion.
All in all, a great agent who made the whole process as simple as possible for me.
