Lawrence gave us a very good overview of the process leading up to a sale. He then kept us updated about the open houses and informed during the auction which was successful. We were quite pleased with his approach to the whole campaign.
Laurence was extremely professional and attentive from first contact through to Auction day. His knowledge of the local market was extremely beneficial. We were very pleased with the result on Auction Day. I would not hesitate to recommend Laurence and the team at Hocking Stewart Balwyn to anyone buying or selling property.
Great market research skills and was able to get me the best price upon sale. Works well with other agents and the auctioneer. Professional and friendly and I would recommend.
We found Laurence professional, resourceful and proactive. This made for a very pleasant and stress free experience during the entire process. He helped negotiate the right price for us and we will definitely engage him to be our agent again in the future.
Laurence has shown outstanding initiative in the sale of our property. He showed similar initiative in the sale of a major development undertaken by our son. We highly commend him.
We had the pleasure of dealing with Laurence Murphy for the sale of our property in April of this year and couldn't be happier. Laurence was fantastic to deal with. Always punctual, very reliable and an excellent communicator. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Laurence and he always greeted us as well as perspective purchasers in a very happy and professional manner. His retention of information from viewers at open house days was first class and always articulated well. His communication and advice was excellent and kept us informed and relaxed throughout the entire process and his local knowledge and professionalism was key to achieving a quick and impressive result. Laurence is a passionate and hardworking agent that we strongly recommend to other vendors. Regards, Nick and Effie Lalopoulos
what sets Laurence Murphy apart from the other professionals in his field, is concise written local data he presented & the support he provided us, through the sale of our home in North Balwyn
The brief: sell 2 properties, for 11 family members over six months Laurence stood out from the 4 agents Result: he knew the market, kept the info flowing and both properties got top $s
We had our property listed with Marshall White for 6 weeks without any form of negotiation, we then listed the property with Laurence from Hocking Stuart and within a week of it being listed he sold it! Laurence was not only professional the whole time, he did exactly what he said he would do. He has an exceptional knowledge of the area and is very easy to work with. We will defiantly use Laurence again and have no hesitation recommending him to others. Thank you Laurence for all your help. Belinda & Mark Farrington
Going into the auction scenario for the first time was quite daunting for me. How to target buyers, what we needed to do to optimize our position... I need not have worried. Laurence knows his stuff. We had a great turn out to the auction and achieved an above expected result. Relief.
Laurence was an absolute pleasure to deal with. From the outset his calm approach, professionalism, market knowledge and integrity left me feeling comfortable that I was in safe hands. Throughout the campaign he kept me informed and followed up effectively with potential buyers and interested parties. Laurence provided good advice in regard to presenting the home, decluttering, placement of furniture etc. He kept me calm and reassured and advised positively on an auction strategy and reserve price. The result at auction far surpassed my expectations. Very pleased with his personal effort and approach and I have already recommended him to list another property for sale. Thank you Laurence!
I have known Laurence Murphy since 2010 when he sold a project in North Balwyn. I found him to be extremely professional and competent in my dealings. I have since sold two more properties engaging Laurance as my agent. Laurence has a high level of commitment to his clients and he worked very hard to find a buyer, hosting “open house” days each weekend and on occasion both days. He often showed potential buyers through my properties on week days and evenings. He has excellent negotiating skills and has produced some tremendous results for me. One particular buyer commented to me that he trusted Laurence and found him to be honest. I can only agree with these observations I would not hesitate in recommending Laurence Murphy fro your next real estate experience.
