Julian Montebello

Julian and Christina have been excellent to deal with

It’s very stressful buying a home and I’d been looking for over 18 months. It was sheer luck that I saw the listing for Williamstown and once I’d driven past I felt it was an area I’d love to live. I couldn’t make the open house so I called Julian for a private inspection. He missed getting lunch because he let me take my time which went over an hour. And then I had a second lengthy inspection. He knew a lot about the area and was very transparent about the circumstances surrounding this sale process. Julian answered my endless questions with generosity. We did the deal in an evening. Julian also gave me some referrals for services and trades once I move in. I am so happy with my new home made all the more enjoyable by a friendly and helpful real estate agent.

I highly recommend Julian and Christina from Hocking Stuart Altona . Selling my home was a smooth and stress-free experience from start to finish. They had excellent knowledge of the local market and gave great advice. Communication was fantastic, and I was kept updated every step of the way. Thanks to their hard work, we got a wonderful result. I would definitely use them again!

Great communication through out the sale process.

Julian and Christina assisted us to purchase a property they managed which was for Sale. They did lots to assist us with viewings, answered our many enquiries and stayed in touch with us as promised.

We recently purchased our home and couldn’t be happier with the experience, thanks to our real estate agent. From the very first inspection through to settlement, they were professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right property. What stood out most was their clear communication and transparency. Every question we had—no matter how small—was answered promptly and honestly, which made the whole process feel far less overwhelming. They also had an excellent understanding of the market and provided valuable guidance without ever being pushy. Their attention to detail and commitment to making everything run smoothly gave us a lot of confidence as buyers. We always felt like we were in capable hands. Buying a home can be stressful, but this experience was surprisingly smooth and even enjoyable at times. We’re incredibly grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a property.
