When I decided to sell my unit in Footscray in February this year I contacted three real estate agents. The one I bought it from and two other agents operating in the area including Jas Stephens and it was Mark Hutcheson who contacted me. Initially I went with my initial agent. I let Mark know of my decision (the third agent didn't respond to my inquiry) and he indicated that though disappointed he respected my decision and that if things didn't work out he would be more than happy to be contacted again. Over the next six months, with no interest being shown in my property, he sent me periodic updates on sales performance results for the area without being pushy or obtrusive. When I decided to change agents Mark was the obvious choice for me. He communicated very effectively with me, handled all the change from my initial agent to Jas Stephens with a minimum of fuss and then organised the sale process effectively and efficiently. He negotiated a fair price for our unit with the purchasers and kept me in the picture completely throughout the negotiation period. I have no hesitation in recommending Mark Hutcheson for his professionalism and will use utilise his services in any future purchases or sales I may have in the western suburbs.

HUGE Thank you to Mark for his outstanding work In Helping us achieve more than we thought possible with the sale of our townhouse. He was in constant communication with us through the whole process and helped us with his knowledge of the market and area, to make the best decisions for us. A very efficient agent and we would recommend him to anyone. Absolutely.

Mark was so helpful and reassuring to me with the sale of the property. His relaxed manner and invaluable guidance helped make the process leading up to auction so much easier to bear. Mark is such a true professional in his field, very hard working, always made himself available and kept me up to date at all times. A big thank you to Mark and Jas Stephens for a job so well done.

We have been so impressed with Mark's dedication, hard work, passion and approach. Each stage of the process was extremely well managed and importantly transparent for all parties. We highly endorse and recommend Mark.

Mark was very helpful, efficient, respectful and easy to communicate with, he kept me fully informed of any developments in the lead up to the successful sale of my property. Jas Stephens are a very professional outfit: and have managed the rental of the property for 10 years, hence why they were chosen as the seller, as I had very good dealings with them over this time.

I cannot recommend Mark highly enough. Mark was great through the whole process, keeping me informed of progress in a very timely way which I very much appreciated. The property sold before auction for a price above what I had been prepared to accept and this was achieved through Mark's ability to negotiate with the purchaser. Many thanks Mark for a very happy outcome.

Mark worked extremely hard on achieving the best result for the property. It was a hard sell being on a busy road but Mark came through and an excellent result was achieved. He went above and beyond with extra openings and was always available regardless of time. I would highly recommend Mark and Jas Stephens as an agency. Well done!

The service that I have received from Mark was excellent and he delivered on what he promised. He was always on time, friendly and contacted me back with feedback in a timely manner.​

Mark was highly professional, ethical, trustworthy and a great communicator. During our first meeting I was impressed by his preparedness and knowledge. He always delivered on his promises and was honest and realistic in his approach. He went out of his way to make himself available to me after hours as necessary, answer all my questions and I am sure he did this for the buyers and I am confident they had a great experience too. I have been recommending Mark to everyone I know and I will continue to do so. He is a great ambassador for Jas Stephens and the profession generally. Mark was simply outstanding and I would not hesitate to engage him again.

We purchased a property at auction through Mark. We couldn't be more happy with his customer service and his authenticity. Mark kept in touch throughout the process without ever compromising his position with the vendors. I felt if he is like this with his buyers then I would be very happy for him to sell my home.

Mark provided me with prompt and professional advice and I was impressed with how much time he spent following up prospective purchasers. Both Mark (and Craig Stephens) were a pleasure to deal with and kept me up-to-date at all times throughout the campaign as to what a realistic sale outcome may be. I believe this helped achieve a great result on auction day and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mark in the future!

I am very pleased with all aspects of the sale of my house in Kingsville which was coordinated by Mark Hutcheson. He outlined the steps that needed to be taken for the sale, was very helpful and communicated with me on all the processes that were happening, sometimes on a daily basis leading up to the sale. Personally he was polite and friendly and honest with me and I was very happy with the outcome he achieved.
