Mal was one of the most honest, realistic, fair and knowledgeable agents we have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. We are so grateful for his step by step guidance through such a huge experience. What separates Mal from others is his honesty and trustworthy demeanour. Mal was Realistic with our property appraisal but when it came to the actual sale he went above and beyond our expectations in the way he negotiated the final sale which completely exceeeded what we thought was possible. In our opinion Mal is not only an expert but a true gentleman and a class act.

Mal was knowledgeable about the house and the local area and followed up any queries about the property we purchased . He was professional in his manner and the process of purchasing our house was made easy.

Mal is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. He communicated regularly with us and responded promptly and helpfully when we sought his advice or answers to questions. A consummate professional at all times with an easy going manner and great sense of humour too! Thank you Mal.

Local knowledge, many years of experience and a very strong agency presence were the catalyst in choosing to list with Mal and the Belle Property team. We often received an email at 6am or 10pm at night which is testament to Mal's dedication and work ethic in getting the best result. Mal is professional in his approach and the sale process was both seamless and stress-free because we knew we were in good hands. Ultimately, it was the result achieved within a week of listing that best represents why we would recommend Mal to sell your property.

A conservative and realistic start without the fan-fair. Great organisation and communication throughout the process. Well informed and professionally handled negotiations.

Mal, was supportive and assisted to ensure we understood the property and how it met our needs. We are excited to commence this chapter in our lives for our family. Thanks

Mal went out of his way to accommodate my crazy schedule, meeting with me beyond usual expected business hours, as well as on his planned days off. He was incredibly helpful during the whole buying process, and provided referrals to related services. A true professional. I could not be happier.

Mal is a breathe of fresh air. He breaks the mould in terms of what you would expect off an agent. He is completely down to earth, honest and realistic in pulling together a deal that works for all parties. Agents I have dealt with over my time buying and selling property have been good, bad and indifferent - Mal separates himself from even this assessment because he relates in a way that embodies true authenticity - and regardless of which side of the buying or selling fence one is sitting on, clients will always sense this and be drawn to it because intrinsically we all know it’s going to give the best chance to bring the best possible outcome. My recommendation is not necessarily go with Mal (as you should follow your own instincts always) - but do yourself at least the service of putting him on the list of agents to call and see if he is right for you. My feeling is, if you are after some of the qualities listed above, you will have trouble finding someone that offer more than what he can offer. Mal is definitely the agent I’d be using again and the agent I’d recommend to my family and friends.

Contacting Hocking Stuart Blairgowrie and meeting Mal McInnes was refreshing. Communicating with many real-estate agents on the Mornington Peninsula over the past 6 months has been at many times restrictive, with few keeping open communications , leaving us feeling depleted and unsure if we would be able to buy a property. From our very first phone call with Mal to the purchase of our new house, we genuinely felt he worked with us. Mal also continues to support us as we prepare for the settlement of the property. He responds to phone calls and emails promptly, as well as keeping us informed every step of the way. His friendly and warm nature has been respectful, not putting any pressure on us or question of integrity in our minds. Overall, we feel honored to have met Mal and have his professional support. We feel completely trusted that Mal has worked in the best interests of all parties and would not hesitate to use his services again, and highly recommend others to do so to. Thank you Mal and the team at Hocking Stuart Blairgowrie. Until next time, Warm Regards, Christine and Bruno.

Mal sold me the property in Blairgowrie. He was knowledgable and helpful providing ideas on how to get it renovate and preparing for holiday rental.

Mal’s professional approach gained my respect for his prudent advice,re-potential price expectations, attention to detail summarising the potential buyers and his general all round sales disposition. I have no hesitation in recommending Mal as a Sales advocate for any potential seller!

Mal’s market knowledge was second to none He made the whole process easy and we were delighted with the sale price
