I had the pleasure of working with John on the sale of my apartment in Elwood. John and his partner Christine displayed excellent communication with thorough updates after each opening & on going data and buyer feedback throughout the campaign. As a nervous vendor it was great to have such open communication with the agents & they put my mind at ease making the whole process stress free. On auction day a price was achieved which I was very happy with & I have no doubt this was because of the rapport John had built with key buyers over the journey. I would highly recommend John to all Bayside sellers.

We had a great experience with John. He is very likeable & connects well with people. His advice was spot on & in a tough market he did a fantastic job. His communication throughout the campaign could not have been better. We found john to be very honest & his market knowledge was also excellent. Kosta did a great job also as our auctioneer. Thanks John (& Kosta) for making selling our home such a pleasurable experience!!

All round you cannot fault them. Very experienced and caring team.

I wish I could buy another home from John as he was so helpful to me being an older lady client.... John made the sale of my unit very easy and his advice was spot on...

John is a great agent. His communications with us were insightful and accurate. In a changing market he was able to get us a very good outcome, largely because of his strategic understanding of the st kilda market and the potential buyers involved. Anyone can sell in boom market, but I was very glad we picked John and Costa to sell the flat because in a changing market a quality agent is essential and John and Costa are of the highest quality.

John has been terrific. He has given us great feedback and has been available at all times to answer any questions. He has discussed everything with us and assisted us through the sale process with really good advice. We have been impressed with his professionalism and his knowledge. I would not hesitate to recommend him. He achieved a great outcome.

Really happy to recommend John and Costa, we wanted an agent that would be real about the price of our place and the potential buyers. Whilst we didn’t get our dream reserve we got a fair price for our home and they found two buyers in this challenging market!

It was good to have John working on the sale of our Elwood property. As well as providing a comprehensive review of this market, he also gave us a continuing update on the level interest and likely prospects from biweekly openings, resulting in a quick sale at a good price at the top end of our target range. This is the second property John has sold for us in Elwood. He is a talented allrounder who we would highly recommend.

Great result at auction, auctioneer managed to squeeze the last dollar from the bidders.

We found John very easy going and highly professional during the entire sales process. As very nervous vendors he provided us with a high level of a guidance from what we needed to do to make our property “market ready” to holding our nerve on auction day. Communication was regular throughout the process with clear and concise updates after every open. Most of all for us was his preparedness to be available whenever we were close to meltdown! We appreciated the work of all the team at Hocking Stuart St Kilda, John and Christine also a big thanks to Sam the auctioneer on the day.

John was approachable right from the start. He was very enthusiastic to sell our property and is well versed with the property market. He kept us updated with the inspections and inquiries. John continued to monitor our sales campaign and provided recommendations. He was great to deal with and always contactable. We are glad that we chose you as our agent.

John recognised that we had not sold a property before, and guided us through the process to make sure we understood the plan at each stage. He answered our questions patiently and with knowledge. We took a while to make our decision to sell, and John didn’t give up, where others did, and kept in contact with a smile. Thanks John - would definitely deal with you again! Priscilla & Allan
