Mark Konishi and Alex are equally approachable and professional. Mark is the whole package with a great knowledge of the Melbourne property market in particular South Yarra, comprehensive marketing tactics and not to mention an impressive auctioneer. A highly recommended experience.

Very professional in every sense of the word. Well experienced and kept us informed every step of the process in selling our property. Kept things easy to understand. A fantastic team to work with.

Mark was responsive, proactive and did a great job negotiating the sale of my apartment.

Hocking Stuart in South Yarra (and not only there) is an institution. Their agents are also well known in the South Yarra community. What makes them stand out is their fresh approach to their profession which influences their communications and advice. There is nothing more reassuring to vendors and buyers than attention to details, and more importantly attention to clients' needs. My particular experience refers to a recent property sale that was effected by Mark Konishi and Alexandra Yaramanis. What really made Mark and Alexandra stand out against other agents was their direct and unaffected style, which is something I missed in other agents where I noticed, more often than not, a calculating attitude that removed spontaneity and surely worked against them in my specific case. I have found Mark to be a tireless negotiator, and a fair one also, because I noticed that he was eager to look at the interest of both parties in a sale transaction. I also found Alexandra very competent and a portentous time keeper, everything was done within set timelines, detail coordination was clearly one of her strengths. Yes, I can confidently recommend Hocking Stuart to anyone who is considering sale or acquisition of properties. And I confidently commend the performance of Mark and Alexandra as real estate agents.

I recently sold a newly renovated 1860's home in Drummond Street CARLTON through Mark Konishi at Hocking Stuart. The property was excellently supported with a strong advertising campaign and styled beautifully through a third party stylist provided to us by Mark. The property presented well and was campaigned more earnestly than any I have ever seen or sold. The house was open more than any other we have had, and we had almost 300 groups through inspections. The property was sold after 6 weeks for a price being the third highest price ever gained for a single fronted home in Carlton.

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 .
