Mark and Alex did a superb job presenting and marketing my property, ensuring there was plenty of buyer interest on auction day. They also were very reassuring and took the stress and worry out of the process for me. I have no hesitation recommending them to anyone selling a property in the South Yarra area.

Mark was proactive and extremely professional in all aspects related to the sale of my property: I would recommend him and have done so already

I recommend Mark if your buying/selling especially in the South Yarra area. His knowledge of the properties in the area past and present is very extensive which makes highly valuable if your choosing an agent.

Mark Konishi and Alexandra Yaramanis were at all times polite, punctual and very professional. Mark was completely transparent in all activities relating to the sale of our property, and his estimates on pricing were proven to be extremely accurate. In addition Mark's knowledge of the auction process and the relevant strategies and tactics to be adopted were second to none. We also found Mark to be an excellent auctioneer. We highly commend both Mark and Alex for their support in our sale, and have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone selling a property, particularly through an auction process.

I found Mark was extremely professional , fabulous marketing knowledge, great communicator,( if I asked for anything and I did ask for lots of extra's it was done immediately) & his negotiation skills were very fair. I have bought and sold many properties over the years and most times I wouldn't rate the agent I was working with, but I found Mark to be the exception. I would have no hesitation to list a property with him and recommend him to my family and friends

Mark Konishi gave us a very practical view of what was likely to happen in relation to the marketing of our apartment. Communication was excellent with all emails and messages answered very promptly. The plan for the auction was very clear and achieved an excellent result.

I dealt with Alexandra Yaramanis and Mark Konishi in relation to the above purchase . I found them both to be very professional in their dealings with me and they conducted themselves with integrity and I experienced excellent communication . It was a hassle free and enjoyable experience to deal with them and I highly recommend them to any prospective client .

Mark Konishi and his team at Hocking Stuart provided us with a painless, seamless service when we sold a small investment apartment recently. In preparing the apartment for sale, Mark and Alex supervised the painter, bought some furniture, and negotiated with the tenant, with the least fuss and created the maximum impact. The selling campaign was conducted with enthusiasm, and Mark reported on a regular basis to keep us updated with inspections and potential buyers. The final negotiations were completed smoothly and successfully, all the time carried out by Mark with his special brand of enthusiasm, courtesy and humour. We would not hesitate to employ Mark Konishi again, and are happy to recommend his services.

We felt very lucky to have Mark Konishi and Alexandra Yaramanis of Hocking Stuart South Yarra selling our property in South Yarra. They proved to be the best real estate agent which we have ever dealt with. They are knowledgeable and friendly. They kept frequent communication with you through out the sales campaign to the auction which proved to be very effective and successful. They looked into every details of your property including all the physical and legal aspects to make sure of a sound condition of your property prior to putting it on market. They are trustworthy not only to vendors but buyers as well. We highly recommend Mark and Alex.

Able to exceed our expectations with regards to sale price and always clear communication from Mark and his team

Mark and Alex were great to work with during the campaign and have achieved a result beyond expectation. Communication was key when deciding which agent to choose to sell my property. I had contacted a couple of other agents to get an appraisal for the property and Hockingstuart/Mark was the standout in getting back to me and arranging a time to see the property. They kept me informed at each stage of the campaign and were always prepared to give me the time to discuss any concerns. Prior to the auction, they took the time to meet with me and explain the auction strategy and the potential scenarios so that I was well prepared on the day. Mark and Alex acted with integrity throughout the process by detailing the positives and potential setbacks about the property upfront, and then providing strategies to achieve the best outcome. This was paramount to me as I had experience with other agents who only sing praises about the property before you sign and then prior to the auction they tell you all of the negative points to try and decrease your reserve. This did not happen with Mark and Alex and it made the days leading up to auction less stressful. I would highly recommend Hockingstuart South Yarra for the above reasons but also their reputation and presence in the market. Thank you once again Mark and Alex.

Mark and Alex from Hocking Stuart were very competent and effective. I felt like I was dealing with experienced agents with excellent local knowledge and communication skills. Alex was able to very quickly assess exactly what we needed from her and then deliver the results without any dramas. I never had to chase anything up, they were both proactive, no nonsense and reliable. They understood my time was valuable and that I had other priorities and just got on with the job.
