John and I are very happy with the result of our recent property sale and we impressed through-out with Marissa's hard wok and useful updates.

We have followed Marissa Serio since we bought a property from her many years ago. Her appeal is that she makes what is essentially a business transaction, personal and honest. She strives to do the best by her client but also by potential buyers. She has integrity and has maintained her genuine interest throughout. We believe she understands the property market but is wise and measured.

Marissa is a fantastic agent to deal with. She was the selling agent when we purchased our property and we remembered her and had no doubt that she would get the job when it came time to sell. A key aspect of Marissa's professionalism is the way she maintains an open channel of communication throughout the sale process. We were kept in the loop and informed at all times. She is also a very calming influence during a time that can be stressful. Marissa is a tireless worker. We feel that there was no stone left unturned and that no opportunities were missed to engage with potential purchasers. The fact that we had a great result on auction day was nearly wholly attributable to her efforts. We think that Hocking Stuart is the best agency in our area and that Marissa is their best agent. We have no hesitation in recommending Marissa.

I can find Marissa did a lot of works help me purchesed or sell the property. She always very patient and kindly explain my question, gave me advice and analysis the property market. I trust her very much.

Marissa made the process of selling my apartment hassle free. I no longer live in the area, so I was reliant on Marissa for market knowledge as well as advice on presenting the apartment. Marissa kept me well update during the advertising campaign and clearly knew and understood the potentially interested parties. I have complete confidence in Marissa and have no issue in recommending her to others.

I would highly recommend Marissa to anyone selling in the South Yarra area. What set Marissa apart from previous agents I had worked with was a) her strategic thinking ability that specifically widen the target market b) her knowledge of the area and contacts within the potential buyers market (developers, renovators and local families) and c) her patient approach to negotiations. Coupled with excellent, straight up and timely communication she was just a delight to work with and took the stress out of a complex sale. I would use her again without hesitation.

Excellent skills,professional and classy. Thanks again !!!

John and I would like to thank Marissa on the great result on the sale of our home at auction. Marissa was extremely professional thorughout the campaign, had extensive knowledge of the market and provided regular feedback and updates on where we were at in terms of prospective buyers. Not only that but she went out of her way to have the dogs taken for a walk during mid-week inspections and even had a home open during a week she was on leave. Thanks to Mariss'a dedication and hard work to secure prosepctive buyers for the propert, we achived a result well beyond expextations (almost $140k above our reserve). Wouldn't hesitate on recommending Marissa to anyone wanting to sell their home in the South Yarra area. Regards, Myles Howard & John Martinez

Myself and my husband cannot recommend Marissa and her team highly enough. Not only was she efficient, knowledgeable, extremely helpful, but she also gave a very personal and individual touch. We couldn't have managed without her. She made the experience of getting ready for the sale of our house smooth and easy. Wonderful communicator.

I couldn't speak more highly of Marissa. I met Marissa a couple of years ago when I originally listed the property. I chose not go with Hocking Stuart at the time and in the end I took the property off the market. Since that time Marisa kept in contact letting me know about auctions of similar properties that were coming up in the South Yarra area and inviting me to attend auctions if I wished. Never at any time did I feel pressured to go or felt a hard sell coming on like you feel with some agents. Over the two years I felt we'd built up a very good relationship so there was never any doubt in my mind I'd chose her when I listed in September. She really listened to what I wanted, was happy to negotiate a "success" based fee, and she help me manage a difficult neighbour. She went above and beyond to help me out to prepare the property, manage the open and settlement inspections. I achieved a result beyond anything I expected. I would recommend Marissa to anyone as I know she'd do exactly the same for them.

Marissa was not only accommodating of my busy schedule, she also supported me through negotiations and an easy settlement. Her pleasant demeanor and honesty is refreshing and I highly recommend her.

Marissa was very helpful throughout the sale process and ensuring we were fully kept informed up until the time of settlement She clearly has a good knowledge of the area and I would advise anyone looking around South Yarra to give her a call.
