How’s this for a polished, heartfelt version? It keeps your personal touch while framing Gavin’s work in a professional light: "I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Gavin Johnston at Hockingstuart Preston for his exceptional service. It was an absolute pleasure to work with him throughout my property journey. From our very first meeting, Gavin’s friendly and professional approach put me at complete ease. He provided a level of comfort and confidence that is rare to find when searching for and purchasing a 'forever home.' Gavin went above and beyond to make every step of the process—from the initial inspections to his expert advice—far easier than I ever imagined it could be. If you are looking for a dedicated agent who truly cares about his clients' outcomes, I cannot recommend Gavin highly enough. Thank you, Gavin, for helping me secure my dream home!"

Josie and the team are professional in every sense of the word. They made a stressful situation seamless.


Josie was professional. She explained the process, kept me updated and forwarded reports outlining feedback from prospective buyers throughout the process. Her team sent me the appropriate paperwork and the whole kept me updated and the whole process ran smoothly.

Josie and her team were friendly and always professional. It was the first time I had sold a property and yet Josie & Joe made the process less stressful. It was a pleasure to work with them, they kept me informed and I think Josie even worked a few late Sunday nights for me. Thank you Josie and the team at Hockingstuart Preston.

Josie Galati was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was always professional, kept me updated via many means of communication - phone calls, SMSs and email. She was knowledgeable and persisted to, not only get the price we were looking for but also the time frame. I would not hesitate to forward Josie's contact details to anyone else I knew that was interested in selling their property.

Josie and Gavin were clear communicators, diligent with their feedback and reporting, and had a calm approach to the sale process. We chose them for their genuine care and non pushy approach - and they did not disappoint!


Josie was warm and engaging, and interested in our back story as to why we were selling the house that had only been lived in by our family for over 70 years. We didn't want to make any improvements to put the house on the market and weren't keen on the stress of an auction. Josie suggested an off market sale as she had prospective buyers on her books. Josie had buyers through and negotiated a fair price within 2 weeks. We would highly recommend Josie and found her trustworthy, punctual and a good communicator. All our dealings with hs staff have been positive.

Amazing team! They were very thorough and great to work with. They set very realistic expectations and led us through the process perfectly to where we landed which was an excellent result.
