I found Mark to be a trustworthy, energetic, and understanding real estate agent for the sale of our studio apartment in South Yarra. I would recommend him to anyone else considering a property sale in this or surrounding areas due to his depth of knowledge, expertise and credibility.

We would absolutely recommend Mark to anybody looking to sell their property in the South Yarra / Prahran / Toorak area. For us, the five things we felt were most important when selecting a real estate agent to sell our property was: their knowledge, contact network, negotiating skills, administrative competence and general friendliness. In our opinion Mark rates a 10 out of 10 on each on these criteria. We originally met Mark a few years prior to selling our property at an open for inspection for a property we were interested in buying. From the get go we felt comfortable dealing with Mark. Personality wise, he is friendly but no-nonsense. There is no hard sell faux slickness that we think some lesser agents feel they need to engage in. Mark doesn’t need to do this. He is beyond that rubbish. This was one of the reasons we liked him. In between first meeting him and ultimately selling through him we called on Mark a number of times for property advice. He was always willing to help and we always appreciated the insights he provided us. We’d have no hesitation using Mark again. The sales campaign for our property was carried out exactly how we want it done. We also felt Hocking Stuart as an organisation overall got the job done too. So we feel the team behind Mark was competent also. Nothing went wrong with the administration side of our sale.

Mark handled the sale of our apartment and our auction and we were very pleased with his communication and his recommendations during the process.

Mark Konishi did a terrific job at selling my South Yarra apartment. From my first meeting with Mark around selling my apartment I had every confidence that the same level of professionalism I had come to expect from HS South Yarra as my rental property managers would continue through the sales process. Mark communicated with me on a regular basis and resulted in a very good outcome. Mark is very personable and it was great to feel that he genuinly cared not only to get the right price but it was achieved in a hassle free way. Well done to Mark and his team at Hocking Stuart, South Yarra. David

I found Mark extremely competent and useful. I would recommend to others.

I found Mark professional to deal with and very knowledgeable about the local market. When it came to negotiating the sale his experience enabled my wife and I to achieve what we believe was the highest price possible.

Mark represented the vendor from whom we purchased our unit in South Yarra. Mark worked together very productively with our buyer's agent and the two parties achieved a result that was mutually very satisfying. Following the signing of the contract, Mark was immensely helpful in answering all our questions regarding access to the property for tradies to quote, recommendations for tradespeople etc. and was always swift in responding to our questions either on the phone or via email. All in all, a very positive experience that made organising the purchase and preparation of our new property as easy as we could have hoped for.

Mark was fantastic selling my apartment, he made the whole process incredibly easy, explaining everything and keeping us up to date. He is professional but very friendly and was fantastic in negotiations. I would highly recommend him and definitely use him again.

Mark sold our South Yarra flat for us and achieved what we regarded as a very fair result. He was professional, provided a clear path forward, demonstrated an impressive knowledge of the relevant market, did what he said he would, had an excellent team, communicated well, and at all times acted as though a satisfactory outcome was important to him. Mark is a very enthusiastic and pleasant person and a pleasure to deal with. We gave considerable thought to choice of an agent and on completion of the process were glad we had utilized Mark.

Mark was a fantastic agent. Always responsive and worked tirelessly in what was a difficult sale. His knowledge of the market was valuable, and he was an honest and professional operator. Would definitely recommend Mark.

I had a lengthy and tedious selection process to find the right agent to sell my property. I found that Mark Konishi stood head and shoulders above the majority. I have found him to be trustworthy, patient, a good communicator, professional and a decent chap. It was a pleasure to work with him. I have no hesitation in using his services again for my next sale.

This property was sold 25% above the reserve price. Originally it was dilapidated and in need of repair. Mark and his assistant Alex organised everything including waste removal, painting, cleaning and hire furniture which complimented the presentation. We were referred to a solicitor and apart from signing documents we are not troubled even to the extent of collecting the deposit and sales proceeds.We were kept informed at every stage and provided with statistics regarding open houses and potential buyers. Communication was outstanding. The sales campaign and subsequent auction went exactly as predicted by Mark. A team of Hockingstuart staff was on hand at the auction and their input was professional and excellent. We were happy to accept his advice which was always good. Overall we were delighted with the whole experience and cannot recommend the agents at Hockingstuart more highly.It is good that there are agents out there who take the worry out of selling a home and Mark Konishi did just that.
