Josh Stirling has been working in the area of Balaclava for quite some time and my wife and I have seen many successful results. Josh and his colleague Melanie were invited to take care of our property because we wanted a team that were knew the area, were people that we felt we could work with to get the best result possible. Throughout the campaign Josh made every effort to keep in contact and work relentlessly on every interested party. In the end we were incredibly happy with the result and felt that Josh and Melanie did everything to get the best result. We would certainly use Josh and his team again.

We opted to sell with Josh and Melanie at Hodges St Kilda partly due to their strong track record of success in the local market, but also because as interstate sellers it was really important for us to work with people that we could trust without our being involved in every step. Throughout the campaign they were extremely vigilant in keeping us informed of every development and as first time sellers they took the time to ensure that we understand all the ins and outs. We found the Hodges St Kilda sales department to be wholly professional and I would have absolutely no reservations in recommending them to anyone looking to sell in the area.

Josh and Melanie Walden did an excellent job in marketing and selling our property. They were professional, kept us fully informed at all stages and gave good advice on presentation and marketability. The auction was very well conducted, achieved a great result, and was backed up by an effective marketing campaign and getting good numbers for the open inspections.

We have now seen the reports in the Age and the outcome not only of our auction, but others on the day. I think it is fair to say that we achieved about the best result possible in the market. • We had an almost perfect campaign • We listened and reacted timely and appropriately to the feedback • You set the right price range (!) • We worked together well As a result we had the necessary number of interested parties at the auction to move the bidding along. We had the reserve at just the right point, so there was a second wind to carry it to the final price. You guys should be chuffed with where we got to, I certainly am. I like to congratulate you on your professional approach and the fantastic backup by the rest of your team. A well-deserved ‘thank you’ from me and the rest of my family.

It has been a pleasure dealing with Josh Stirling and his team. We did a lot of research before choosing our real estate agent and chose Josh because he was personable, professional, had proven success in the area and is by far the best auctioneer in our area. The entire process - from putting our house on the market to selling was made as stress free as possible. I recommend using Josh and his team highly.

Market knowledge, attention to detail, good listener, charismatic, confident presenter, good finisher. Works hard for your business and takes nothing for granted. Three cheers for Josh Stirling and the whole team at Hodges St Kilda. A great effort and another happy customer.

We highly recommend Josh Stirling and the team at Hodges in Carlisle Street. Josh, Mel and their support team were professional, driven to achieve a good result and always a pleasure to deal, thank you!

I have no hesitation in recommending Josh. Our experience with Josh and his team was professional and reassuring in what can be a stressful time.

Josh and his team were recently able to sell our property prior to Auction. The process was seamless and easy. Josh was professional and went the extra mile when communicating with me and I'd like to thank him for his assistance. Great outcome & I would recommend him to family & friends.

We met with three prospective agents and chose Josh because he stood out as professional and with a good level of real estate "smarts" while also coming across as genuine. We also felt he’d be willing to accommodate our queries and concerns as we went through the process. Josh proved us right and demonstrated those traits throughout the campaign – he provided regular feedback and was patient and receptive to our questions and suggestions. He led the campaign well, had a good knowledge of each of the key potential bidders and accommodated their queries and requests, and, importantly, did an excellent job at the auction. We were very happy with how Josh, Melanie and Cristina managed our campaign and thrilled with the result.
