I've known Gina since the early 2000's when I first moved into the city. Back then most people thought I was crazy renting an apartment in the city. Maybe I was, but I quickly realised what Gina already knew, the city is a vibrant place to live with a surprising sense of community. I immediately started to look for a place to buy and when I found one in 2006 I asked Gina to handle the sale of my investment property in the CBD. Over the years I have gotten to know Gina quite well and it's obvious that she really understands the CBD market and all it has to offer. No doubt that is why she has built such a loyal following and continually achieves great results for her clients. Selling my property. I'm currently living OS and on a recent trip back to Melbourne Gina asked me if I wanted to sell. My immediate answer was a firm no; I was happy leasing my apartment. Though I did say, if I achieved a great price I would sell. Gina told me she had a couple of really interested parties looking for a property like mine and that it would be a quick no fuss process. I explained to Gina that I was about to release the property and I was heading OS in a week, but if she achieved my price I'd sell. I knew I could trust Gina to handle the process for me while I was OS but, honestly, I didn't really expect anything to come from it and didn't give it much more thought. A few days after I got home I heard from Gina to say she had someone very interested, shortly after they purchased. Fantastic result. It was the easiest property transaction I've ever had. In less than two weeks with no fuss, no advertising, just straight to the point. Gina handled the whole process from start to finish. If you're thinking about property in Melbourne, talk to Gina.

Gina and Sam at Hocking Stuart are the perfect team, who are responsive, highly knowledgeable and skilled negotiators, who ultimately landed a great outcome for us. In addition, they were able to support us with associated matters and have access to a team of service providers that can assist in the sale of your property. Gina and Sam come highly recommended to anyone who is looking for frank and knowledgeable advice about particular aspects of the property market.

Gina very quickly sold our apartment at the Spring Street end of Flinders lane, with a minimum of fuss and with a great outcome for both parties. Her knowledge of the market and who is realistically buying instead of sight seeing, made the marketing focussed and the process simple. As well, Gina understood the value of bespoke apartments with direct sunshine, cross breezes and high ceilings etc which made for a quick sale but at a price where both parties could be comfortable.

From the minute I met Gina Donazzon and her assistant Sam Penna, I felt confident that I was in good hands as an interested buyer in the property they were representing. Gina appeared to have an intimate understanding of the property and local market knowledge, offering timely and clear advice not only on the property but the buying process. Although she was essentially working for the vendor, I felt that as the buyer, she was also interested in meeting my goals and needs in in achieving the best property fit for my needs. I knew earlier on that if my bid on the property she was representing was not successful I would’ve continued to use her expertise and specialisation in finding me another CBD boutique apartment D for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gina to anyone selling or buying into Melbourne’s boutique property market.

Gina has recently sold another apartment for me - her 7th in the past 3 years - and at a very acceptable price. Gina's advice over the past 10 years has been invaluable both in buying appropriate apartments, refurbishing, letting to quality tenants and maintaining those properties to a high standard. I would highly recommend Gina to those who appreciate indepth Melbourne residential market knowledge and the edge it can give in your property buying, letting and selling. She is the real deal!

Gina was the perfect agent; she was attentive, thorough, knowledgeable and very capable. She knows the market particularly well and sold my apartment for an excellent price in a very short time. What else can you ask for???

Gina is absolutely focused on achieving the best result for her client. The marketing plans she creates are effective and she energetically pursues all avenues to promote and sell the property. This is the second time Gina has assisted me in selling a property. On both occasions the target sale price was met or exceeded.

Anyone buying or selling heritage or special property in Melbourne CBD knows how hard it is. We first met Gina as potential buyers and were so impressed with her direct and warm approach and remarkable expertise in exactly these properties that we engaged her to sell our property in the CBD. That sold just a few weeks later, with a minimum of fuss and over-estimate. Gina is a great negotiator and communicator and we really appreciate the time and effort she, and her colleague Sam Fenna, put in to achieve the result.

Gina and Sam worked hard to find a purchaser for my CBD apartment, and under tough market conditions and circumstances. However through their ordered process, knowledge of the market, experience dealing with purchasers, and hard work, they were able to secure me with a buyer and with a result that I am happy with. The process was managed very well with regular updates and communication about prospective buyers with feedback about the property and location which helped with my understanding and expectations. A big kudos to Gina and Sam for a job well done, thanks guys!

The sale of one's property installs fear, trepidation and uncertainty in most people. Gina allayed all my concerns very quickly by outlining an excellent 5 week sales campaign with: - Styling of the apartment - Top notch photography and a sales video expertly narrated by Gina - Intense advertising campaign in major news papers and on property web sites, which was so good, that we had an editorial on our property as well! Gina kept as up to date through out the campaign and her negotiating skills finally landed as a sale price well in excess of our expectations. I rate Gina undoubtedly as the best Real Estate Agent I ever dealt with, and can, therefor, without reservation, strongly recommend her services.

from the first meeting, gina showed professionalism in all our dealings. nothing was too difficult and i was kept informed at all stages. monies were spent as required with advice without overkill.expectations were achieved as her program was rolled out. her negotiating skills certainly came to the front with both parties being happy with the result. well done.

Gina is - without doubt - the 'go to person' for property in Melbourne's CBD. I have known of Gina's formidable reputation for some years and chose her to represent me in my recent property sale and remain in awe of her astute and enthusiastic professional guidance. Gina, together with Sam, demonstrated exemplary market knowledge, were open and responsive communicators and delivered a very favourable result. I recommend Gina to prospective vendors without reservation.
