After missing out at auction that Saturday, Monday picked up after Murphy St appeared from what seemed to be nowhere. We met John that Wednesday afternoon after I had just finished a 14 hour day. I was tired, very tired. He was more pleasant than I could ever be. Smile from ear to ear upon greeting us. He gave us all the time we needed to view the house. Answered any questions we threw at him (even asked ones we knew the answers, testing his honesty). Though working for the vendor, he battled long and hard to secure the property for us. He called me numerous times with updates and answers. Obtained information we needed quickly. He knows the market. He knows the area. He can and does relate to you. He strikes while the iron's hot. This is what they do. This is what they're good at. Thanks John. Thanks also to Amy Thomas for the followup call on Murphy St. *** I've now given him a shot at selling our home. He'll do well...very well. ***

Thank you John and staff at Hocking Stuart Preston. Never did we expect the result from the sale of 43 Hardwick Street, Coburg. The first open for inspection was like 'The Block' open. John managed to invite enough prospective buyers where there was a line from the front door, around the block and down the street. It was crazy from the get go. John kept on top of all proceedings and we were always well informed. Nothing was too difficult for him to arrange and everything seemed effortless. He is a true professional in his field. As an individual I would describe John as easy going and down to earth. He understands the needs of the vendor and will accommodate all requests with your best interests in mind. Thank you again John for this outstanding result and tireless effort.

We would highly recommend John Pasceri from Hocking Stuart Preston. We were impressed by Johns personable nature from our first meeting through to the final stages at auction. For prompt, courteous, professional service we would highly recommend John and would not hesitate in employing his services in the future Keryn & Michael, Preston

I selected John Pasceri of HockingStuart Preston Branch with the task of selling our Reservoir family home. From day one I was impressed with John's professionalism, enthusiasm and positive attitude. At our first meeting in the Preston office John and his colleague John Petsinis explained in detail their step by step strategy in the advertising and sales campaign right up to auction day, from these discussions an action table was produced so at all times I was aware of what was being done and what was coming up next, I was pleased that my input into this process was encouraged and discussed. John provided constant feedback on the progess of the campaign not only over the phone and face to face meetings but also with lists of open house inspection attendees and brief comments on each. I believe that a measure of how sucsesfully the campaign was conducted was the huge number of people that attendend the auction on the day, which I believe contributed to the excellent price that was achieved for our property, well above the reserve. I would like to thank John and the team at HockingStuart on the professional manner that this pampain was conducted. Fred Gigliotti

Back in May, I had the task to sell the family home in Preston and I employed John Pasceri as my Real Estate Agent as he had come highly recommended from friends. That decision was the best I ever made. John came with a wealth of knowledge to prepare me and my family for the real estate market. John showed that he takes his job extremely serious and that he wanted a favourable outcome all round. His knowledge of the area and the ins and outs of the market was astonishing. He promised us a top sale price and he delivered, surpassing our expectation. John is highly committed and has a mature approach to his job with great professionalism. As soon as the authority was signed he organised an excellent diary of events, planning every aspect of the auction with great skill and determination. John went that little bit extra to expose the property. My parents house was quite old but John together with the photographer and their creativity made the house look absolutely wonderful in the advertised photos. He kept me informed throughout the process and kept me uptodate with all new developments and ideas. He made himself available at all times by either phone or email and replied promptly to all my queries or concerns. His easygoing manner was a blessing, especially on auction day when I was very nervous and stressed. He kept us all calm but at the same time focusing on the big task ahead and never forgetting that he had a very important role to play. With that he achieved his goal with a fantastic result. Right up to settlement day, John kept us updated and kept in contact, making sure there were no hickups.John is a very polite, charming and hardworking young man. I could continue with John's great qualities but instead I will simply say that I think very highly of John Pasceri from hockingstuart and I enthusiastically recommend him for the sale of your property. Put your real estate in his care and you will be a winner!

It was disconcerting to learn, less than three months into our lease, that the property was on the market. John is courteous and efficient and organised the campaign in such a way as to keep disruption of our lifestyle to a minimum. In my experience it is rare to find an agent who is so considerate of tenants. John was always willing and available to discuss any concerns we had and was very respectful of our rights as tenants and he managed to balance our needs and the owner's to quickly achieve a positive outcome for everyone.

We bought our family home in Preston with the help of John Pasceri. John is a very hardworking and dedicated real estate agent. He has excellent knowledge of the property and local area. Throughout the campaign, John was able to answer all the questions we had. He also maintained good communication during the weeks leading to the auction. John is also a very skilled auctioneer. He has good charisma which helped to manage the attention of the crowd. We appreciated John's conduct in the auction. He clearly pointed out the rules and legal requirements. His announcements of the bids were clear and concise. That gave us confidence in the auction process.

John was an honest, enthusiastic agent with great communication skills. Was realistic and open with us and always followed up and a timely manner and answered all our questions.. He even came out on a Sunday with limited notice to let us review something with an engineer which for me set him apart from other agents I've dealt with. Also a good bloke, would definitely recommend.

John quickly returned calls and was always available. He was very accommodating and did everything possible to arrange building inspections at late notice. Would definitely recommend.

Even though we worked with John Pasceri for a short amount of time, he showed great dedication in selling our property, going above and beyond. Thank you John for your hard work and obtaining a result that we are both really happy with! We would have no hesitation in recommending you to future sellers. Regards, John and Tanya Distefano

On behalf of my parents, It was a pleasure appointing John from Hocking Stuart to sell the family home. From the first meet and greet John presented well, was enthusiastic, honest and professional. Five weeks after meeting John, he sold our house at action. We couldn't be happier with the results and the service provided by John. Thank you!

From the buyers perspective, John was everything you could ask for. When making the largest single purchase of your life, you want to deal with someone that understands your situation and a person that is honest and available when you need them. John is all of those things and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. We would recommend John and Hocking Stuart Preston to any prospective vendor or buyer.
