After 28 years in our home, we decided it was time to sell and downsize. We did our homework of the local agents to assist in making an informed decision about who was the right agent for us. After meeting with 5 agents, we very quickly decided that hockingstuart – Rosebud was the one. In the first instance, the professional presentation and meeting preparation of both Grant McConnell and Adam Alexander was very impressive. Throughout the 4 week campaign leading up to our auction we were kept informed of all prospective buyer interaction and given feedback within minutes of the close of each open house. Detailed weekly reports were emailed and we felt completely informed at all times. On auction day, Grant did an outstanding job to achieve a great sale price for us with a short settlement. We can’t speak highly enough of the professionalism, commitment, and level of information that we enjoyed with Hocking Stuart - Rosebud. In an industry that is often seen in a negative way, we can only say positive things about our experience. We would happily recommend Grant Mc Connell, Adam Alexander and the team at hockingstuart – Rosebud for anyone wishing to deal with professionals who will get any client a great outcome.

Grant McConnell is a professional agent of the highest calibre. He guided us through the sales process ensuring that we had real world expectations of market value and selling price of our house. His guidance and negotiating skills on auction day with the setting of reserve prices to ensure the best possible outcome, were second to none. We would have no hesitation in recommending Grant to act as your agent if you are looking to sell.

We were impressed with Grant McConnell's knowledge of the local real estate market. He was prompt, professional and good to work with to achieve a pleasing result for the sale our home.

We found Grant and staff very friendly and professional in their dealing with us and would have no problems recommending them to any to any future people in the future .

We were fortunate enough to have Grant McConnell of Hocking Stuart Rosebud Auction our Dromana property. His knowledge and experience provided an overwhelming comfort and calmness with regards to Auction Day and the process thereto. Having discussed with us the likely possible outcomes ensured we had knowledge as to what to expect prior to Auction Day. His control during the Auction and clear spoken words enabled all concerned, both buyers and vendor were given the best chance to achieve respective goals. We were very happy with the ultimate sales result and it would seem the Purchasers we also very excited at buying their new home. Win Win for everyone!

Choosing Grant as our Agent was based on his market dominance in the area. As a Real Estate agent myself I had high expectations. Grant met all my expectations and exceeded many. His honesty allowed me to understand exactly where the market saw value in my home. Although I did not get the price I was wanting I believe Grant got the best price available with sale conditions that suited me. Along this journey I have learnt from the client point of view what really counts. Some of the traits of Grant and Hocking Stuart will now become part of my own professional behaviour.

Grant was very good to deal with and was helpful & professional across all aspects of our house sale. His assistant Elly was also great , responding to all our queries straight away. I would recommend Grant to those looking in the Rosebud/McCrae area to sell their property.

Incredible marketing campaign and communication. Supportive agent and supportive associated staff. Great outcome.

Grant was regularly in touch to keep us updated on progress, and with good advice on the sales issues. He set up a good strategy which unfortunately was not successful on auction day, but was helpful in setting the benchmark for a good sale price and outcome for us as vendors. Grant and the team responded really well to the challenge and negotiated with interested buyers to achieve a good outcome.

From the moment we decided to put our property on the market, we knew we wanted somebody who was extremely knowledgeable of the local market and above all, somebody with whom we could trust. Grant McConnell provided all of this and more. He made it a priority to communicate with us openly and honestly throughout the campaign sharing buyer feedback so that we knew what to expect come auction day. He also made himself available in the evenings to fit in with our work commitments and having young children. Grant and the team were able to access their database and contact potential buyers interested in our area and I believe that this also made a difference in the high number of people who visited during the open days. My husband and I are very grateful to have our first family home sold by Grant and we will continue to use him as our agent in the future. Carli and Adam, McCrae.

Grant McConnell is an extremely professional and competent Auctioneer who ran the auction efficiently and without fuss. We were extremely pleased with our recent purchase and we are sure the Vendors were satisfied with the result.

We would sincerely like to thank Grant and Phil on a great result. The unit was sold off the plan very shortly before construction had started which was faster than anticipated. The whole process was very smooth and we would highly recommend Grant and Phil to all local builders/developers thinking of selling or buying.
