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.

We are very pleased with the service we received from Mark and his team from the day we decided to use Hocking Stuart as our agent, through to the sale date and beyond. Mark, Alex and Sean very quickly put our minds at ease that any issues that could arise though a selling campaign would be easily resolved. They have an excellent knowledge of the local market. Their expertise, ability to coordinate the selling process and efficiency was amazing. And the result - Sold before auction and for more than we were expecting. No hesitation in recommending this team. They are great.

Mark obtained a great outcome prior to auction for my apartment. He was always professional, helpful and a strong negotiator. His market knowledge was spot on and his connections help secure the sale. I would highly recommend Mark and his team at Hocking Stuart South Yarra!

Mark is unlike other agents, he provides a high quality service that focuses on developing and maintaining a relationship before and after initial contact. His advice is realistic and credible. He always displays very high levels of integrity. I have now purchased and sold a property assigned to Mark and on both occasions I was highly satisfied with the results from a financial and non-financial (business relationship) perspective.

Mark is personable, positive, energetic, dedicated and clearly knows South Yarra and his stuff very well. He worked tirelessly from start to finish on our campaign. Aside from the actual selling of our house, he additionally provided styling advice for getting our home 'inspection ready', sourced a cleaner and a handyman for some minor maintenance work and even found someone to take our dogs during open homes. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone selling in the area.

It can be a stressful time, often escalated by horror stories people tell you regarding their Agent. I am delighted to say my experience was the opposite. Mark knows the area very well – thus setting realistic expectations at the outset. With his network and marketing, interest was almost immediate. Facilitating a better than expected outcome prior to auction made this a very positive experience. I highly recommend Mark.
