I was happy with the sale of my property thru Hocking Stuart and Grant Wallace and his team Joel and Zoe the sale was within their estimate and acheived a fair result for myself

Grant was absolutely fantastic in our dealings with him buying our property. He was able to be flexible with times of viewings and meetings and went above and beyond in making sure our first home buying experience was a positive one. This was a relief after interacting with some others in the field. We can highly recommend Grant.

My wife and I decided that rather than follow recommendations of people we knew that that we would to choose an agent based on scores and reviews available on-line. A search showed Grant Wallace to be one of the top two choices near to us so we engaged Grant. Our feedback is that he and his team (notably James and Zoe) ran a perfect auction campaign that was well exposed by the Hocking Stuart marketing machine, they were a pleasure to deal with for us as the vendor and I’m certain that buyers had the same experience. While one can never be certain of the outcome of an auction, on auction day we got the kind of result that is only possible with a perfect process, all expectations of price were exceeded and a new record was set for sale price in our apartment building.

From our first meeting with Grant Wallace and Marissa Serio, of Hocking Stuart South Yarra, to subsequent meetings and finally auction day, we were given clear and professional advice. Grant, who was our auctioneer, allowed Marissa to structure and run the campaign. He provided us with clear instruction and recommendations in the final week, and again just moments prior to the auction itself. Grant maintained an extremely positive, calm and assertive manner. While providing us with his best insights, he was open to our own interpretations and wishes. The auction was once again, evidence of his professionalism and assertive. He was a strong presence, no unnecessary cheese, with straight forward control of the situation. We set a goal and he was committed to helping us achieve it. We comfortably cleared our reserve and couldn't be happier with how Grant helped us get there.

I recently sold my unit in South Yarra through Hocking Stuart. After interviewing several agents in the local area including vendor advocates I selected Grant Wallace. Grant's advice which extended to property styling, marketing to a target audience based on a deep understanding of the local area and open communication pathways made the selection of choosing Grant a key point of difference. All through the advertising campaign I received scheduled updates on levels of interest in the property and if hitting the mark. The combination of Grant and Marissa Serio I couldn't have been happier and felt at all times the property was in good hands. As an auctioneer Grant has a professional manner, strong voice and gets the audience attention. He does not get rattled and commands respect without being pushy. I was extremely satisfied with the sale price achieved and thoroughly recommend Grant Wallace and Marissa Serio, they make a great team.

We recently sold our Unit at South Yarra through Hocking Stuart. We did this all by remote as we live in Queensland. We had not seen the unit for 8 years and it has been rented during that time. Peter Perrignon and Grant Wallace handled the sale for us and advised a total paint and recarpet, and a fit out with furniture from a styling company. We were nervous about this expenditure but followed their advice. This was good advice as the price achieved at auction exceeded our reserve price by 10%. After every open house event they rang us to tell us how many groups attended, whether they were return visits, and what people were saying re price. This and other communication during the campaign were excellent. We could not have asked for a more professional performance and would recommend them highly.

Grant and the team at Hocking Stuart did an excellent job in the marketing campaign. I was very impressed with the online advertisement. Grant and Zoe were both very professional and efficient. Although the sale took longer than anticipated, it was managed well and I was kept informed of progress. The service provided was of high quality.

Very good to deal with. Really tried to assist both buyer and seller. Would be happy to work with again.

Early in February this year, having made the decision to sell my property in Malvern, I contacted Hocking Stuart. Grant Wallace and Zoe Harper took charge, and listed tasks required to make the property attractive and saleable. These were then competently carried out by tradesmen whose work was of a high standard, whose rates were reasonable and who were able, when required, to communicate clearly. Both Grant and Zoe kept in touch during the whole process with advice, and with willingness to give time. As I live interstate, their high standard of communication was greatly appreciated. Legal matters (with which I was previously entirely unfamiliar) were explained and dealt with competently and ,throughout the campaign, I was regularly kept up to date with documents such as 'Campaign report, Schedule of Inspections, Pre-Auction Report' to name a few. Advertising was wide and, some weeks before the auction, the property appeared live online. On the day of the Auction a crowd of around fifty people gathered. Grant, with his clear energising voice, kept the prospective buyers rapidly competing with each other until the final result far exceeded expectations. Neighbours, who had watched similar houses in the street sell for a lesser amount some months previously, were high in their praise. Thank you Grant Wallace and Zoe Harper. You are each admirable examples of the best your profession can be.

Excellent advice, promptly attended to any of my concerns and negotiated well getting more than I expected.

Grant is the most professional agent and person that I have dealt with. He had the following attributes: - Extensive knowledge about the area and property market. - Made solid recommendations to how to market and sell the property; and get the best price. - Kept me informed of the whole process via phone or face to face contact. - Impeccable presentation.

I found Grant and Anthony to be knowledgable , courteous , punctual and professional . At all times they kept me informed of the selling process . Would I use and recommend them - absolutely .
