Grant recently sold a property for us in South Yarra successfully negotiating a sale in what appears to be a relatively tough re-sale market. His communication and focus on the property were outstanding as was ability to ensure a sale was made. We would highly recommend Grant as your exclusive selling agent and were highly appreciative of his efforts.
Grant was great to work with. He kept us informed on the progress of the sale of our property at every stage. I would highly recommend Grant and the agency Hocking Stuart South Yarra. This agency also sold my investment property prior to us working with Grant and I was extremely happy with the Auction result.
Thank you so much Grant for your help in selling my property. Grant made the process seamless and easy for me. He provided a very professional and friendly service and I felt informed and relaxed at all times. He is obviously very experienced in his field, I was very impressed with his communication and negotiation skills, and I would recommend Grant, Zoe and the team at hockingstuart South Yarra to anyone who is considering selling property.
I would highly recommend Grant Wallace and his team at Hocking Stuart, South Yarra. Grant has fantastic local market knowledge and his professionalism, enthusiasm and passion are second to none. Grant provided insightful advice and guidance throughout the entire campaign, keeping me well informed at all times. He is an excellent communicator and an absolute pleasure to deal with!
A good friend who had used Grant twice recommended him to me. I met with him and his associate Zoe Harper and from the first meeting the synergy was obvious. He confirmed my research about the market, gave excellent insight into property in the abounding area with recent sale prices most importantly - he listened to what I was seeking to achieve. He mapped out a sales and marketing plan with contracts and other data beautifully bound and presented including recommendations re solicitors and property stylists. He and Zoe then rolled out the scheduled campaign seamlessly: photography, brochures, signage, advertising on and offline and multiple showings, communicating regularly by phone and email on progress throughout. The property went to auction within 4 weeks and we achieved an outstanding outcome. I was particularly impressed by Grant's enthusiasm, his remarkable knowledge of the area and his understated manner - under promising and over delivering. He is also a most impressive auctioneer - he and Zoe worked the crowd like rock starts!! Thank you Grant....we have some ongoing business coming up.
We were very pleased with Grant's service. He was very friendly and professional. He kept us well informed and showed great knowledge of the market which helped us to find our new home. We will definitely be looking to utilize Grant's services again in the future.
Grant was the agent both for the purchase of my South Yarra property in 2006 and for its sale 8 years later. I recall clearly that of all the agents I met 8 years ago he was the only one who asked me what I was looking for and he was the only one who really listened to what I had to say. Thus it was no surprise when he called me a few days later to suggest that he had found a property that matched my criteria, one that I subsequently purchased and have loved living in. In the sale of the property Grant again demonstrated those same qualities that I saw 8 years earlier, only now they were enhanced by eight years of experience and a really deep knowledge of both the local market and human psychology, qualities that come in handy particularly in the lead up to a successful auction. Grant and his sales partner Zoe worked spectacularly well together, nurturing interest from potential buyers, while keeping open communication lines with me at all times. On the day, Grant conducted the auction with great professionalism, poise, and flair, keeping it moving along while remaining unflappable even in a few key moments early in the auction when my heart was about ready to jump out of my chest. There is no doubt that in my mind that his expert advice with respect to staging the property, his skillful cultivation of potential buyers, and his professionalism and ease in the role of auctioneer contributed greatly to the absolutely outstanding sales result on the property I was selling. Grant understands that buying and selling property is both a financial and deeply personal decision and he has the knowledge, professionalism, and human qualities to help guide you and keep you feeling safe throughout the process. This is really an added bonus it seems to me, making him a rare agent that goes beyond simply being able to produce a good result. I could not recommend him more highly!
Grant Wallace recently sold a property for us in South Yarra. We were very pleased with his professionalism, market knowledge and truly excellent communication skills, particularly when dealing with a sometimes recalcitrant family member. Our thanks also to Grant's associate Zoe Harper, who kept us informed at all times and was always available if we had any questions. We would have no hesitation in recommending their services or using them again if the need arose.
Grant Wallace of Hocking Stuart recently auctioned our apartment in Caroline Street, South Yarra, obtaining an amazing result. From the outset, Grant's professionalism, enthusiasm and confidence made our journey through the sales campaign seamless and stress free. Gran't knowledge of the market was 'spot on' and his excitement (as opposed to our nervousness) on auction day resulted in selling our property $80K in excess of our reserve, which left us speechless - what an impressive Auctioneer!! Every request for assistance was carried out with swiftness and clear communication. Thank you Grant for helping us achieve the best possible result with the greatest of ease at our end.
Grant acted for the vendor I bought my South Yarra property from. I was so impressed with his service that when it was time for me to sell I knew exactly where to go.. straight back to Grant. His knowledge of the local market is outstanding and I was at ease during the entire transaction. Grant sold the property prior to Auction which allowed myself and the purchaser to negotiate a fair price without the stress of an auction. The 'fair price' was more than I was expecting. If you can secure Grant as your agent you are in good hands. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again and I don't hesitate to recommend him to family and friends.
I found Grant Wallace to be an excellent agent. Apart from showing a comprehensive knowledge of the market, and the position of my property within that market, Grant and the Hocking Stuart team were very attentive and proactive in marketing my property. Grant, particularly, went out of his way to help me in the preparation of my property for sale, which I believe enabled me to achieve such a pleasing result.
To start of, I don’t leave testimonials for anyone or anything and this is first, so it's got to tell you something. We've bought and sold and bought several properties over the years with average customer service from various Real Estate Agents. When it came to selling our property in South Yarra, I've visited at least 5 other agents in the area for appraisal. None of the other agents have put in as much effort as Grant and his team put towards the information and presentation and ensuring I was in line with everything that was discussed in our meeting. Once we have decided to go with Grant (He was a clear winner), I was updated with every step of the advertising and inspection day results like clockwork (without being over whelming) . Overall Grant has delivered what he's promised and he didn’t stop there and assisted us with purchasing our next property. He went out of his way to contact other agents to obtain information on my behalf (mind you there was several properties I was interested) and assisted with great in-depth information on how should I tackle my next Auction day which worked!!! Overall, great service which exceeded my expectations tenfold. Great communication, negotiation and people skills!!! Very Highly recommended!! Regards, Oz
