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

Mal’s local knowledge, market knowledge and long term real estate back ground helped secure our purchase. He continues to be a great source of information.

easy to deal with and knows the area very well he was very helpful in all areas

Excellent professionalism, market knowledge and very responsive communication during the sales process with exceptional help post signing and settlement, especially given the challenges of COVID-19 lockdown. Mal was a great agent for us to deal with as purchasers and I would not hesitate to recommend him to any prospective vendors.

Mal has an excellent knowledge of the local real estate. He possesses exceptional communication skills, is always readily contactable and highly responsive. Most importantly, Mal is trustworthy and honest. His attention to detail and small extra steps to assist with the buying process have been greatly appreciated. Mal is highly considerate of both the buyer and vendor’s personal circumstances and facilitates the best outcome for both in a warm and friendly manner.

I chose Mal McInnes to sell my property based on my experience of purchasing the property through Mal and a family member engaging Mal -who successfully sold their property in Rye recently. On these previous occasions Mal was always professional and fair while achieving outstanding sales results for his clients. In marketing my property in December 2020, Mal has achieved an outstanding sales result which far exceeded the amount I hoped for. Mal has kept me informed throughout the sales campaign and I was completely confident with his expertise and knowledge of the local property market. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mal to family, friends who are selling or purchasing property on the Mornington Peninsula.

Mal made purchasing and moving in a dream. He was always responsive and assisted me in any way he could to get things done.
