High performance and professionalism undertaken with honesty and integrity were key criteria in us choosing an agent to represent us in the sale of our investment property. After much research, discussions with several agents, and receiving their appraisals, we decided upon Mark Konishi of Hocking Stuart South Yarra. From the first contact right through to settlement he displayed a voracious appetite for the task and worked diligently to obtain the best possible outcome for us. We were always kept well informed and his experience, sage advice, attention to detail and communication skills made for a trouble free sale. He confidently appraised higher than competing agents and delighted us by achieving that goal. The fee structure was fair and competitive and nothing was too much trouble for him and his team. Should the need arise, we would not hesitate to avail ourselves of Mark's services again.

As we live interstate we needed to ensure we had someone we could trust with the preparation of and the sale of our property. After doing some research we appointed Mark Konishi of Hocking Stuart. Mark and his team organised some minor cosmetic improvements (new carpet, vinyl and repainting) given our property had been tenanted for a number of years. He also organised professional property styling. All of this completely took any stress away from us in trying to arrange this ourselves. We were absolutely blown away when the professional photos were done and it looked even better when we finally got to see it the day before auction. We were kept up to date with the outcome of each viewing and the ongoing communication was great. We have sold properties before but never have we encountered such a positive experience from start to finish as we did with Mark and his team. A special mention to Georgia also. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her and all our queries were responded to immediately. We were very happy with the outcome on auction day. I would definitely recommend Mark Konishi and would not hesitate to use his services again. Thank you Mark. You made what is normally a fairly stressful experience completely stress and hassle free! We really appreciate all your efforts.

Mark Konishi and his team were absolutely fantastic, very professional. We can recommend them to everyone.

Mark was upfront, supportive and enthusiastic at all times. He was ably supported by Georgia Whitford who handled some delicate issues very efficiently and effectively, and also with tangible commitment. At the auction, Mark managed a nervous and reluctant bidder with considerable care and skill, but in a way that kept the bidding process continuing far longer than it otherwise would.

Mark is an excellent agent with great knowledge of and interest in his area of South Yarra. He is easy going yet highly professional and looks after his clients well. Mark's friendly demeanour and wealth of experience in the area make him the best choice if you are buying or selling in a South Yarra. We have been lucky enough to have him as our agent, twice now, over a period of nine years, and we were very satisfied with his service both times. Thank you Mark!

Mark is very professional and thorough, and has vast knowledge of the local market .

Mark was the first choice as our agent. His knowledge and expertise in the area and ability to negotiate to our best interest was a great advantage in selling our property. He did wonderful job, and successfully garnered the best outcome possible. Go MARK!

Dear Mark & Georgia, Randall and I would like to thank you for you kind wishes we are most appreciative. We would also like to take the opportunity to thank you both for your valued assistance in the sale of of our unit. You were both very approachable and helpful. What impressed me most was your willingness to offer ideas or suggestions in helping us to prepare for the sale of the property I believe it was that approach that compelled me to sign with you. I also liked the fact that you were both open to our ideas also. We appreciated the regular feedback in the lead up to the sale, it was good to get those progress reports. We wish you both every happiness and success in the future. Warmest wishes Randall & Mary

Mark was very good in assisting us with buying the house. There is a saying - a busy person always finds time. Mark was ready to assist at half an hours notice on the weekend even after the house had settled and we were given the keys. Great service.

Mark helped us achieve the target price for our house before the auction. He showed personal interest right from the time we started talking about sale of our house. He showed genuine interest in helping us getting house ready for auction in case it was warrented. We cannot thank him enough for all the help in selling the house while we were overseas.

Mark is a hard-working agent who was great at being in touch during the sale campaign for my South Yarra apartment. I trust Hocking Stuart South Yarra, and Mark in particular, for their extensive knowledge of the South Yarra market. Mark is a great salesperson who, together with Georgia, achieved an excellent sale price.

Our experience with Mark was fantastic. He even managed to sell our apartment without placing an add online. This was a difficult challenge we set for him. He willingly took it on and delivered. Saving us thousands in advertising costs in the process and achieving a great final sale price. His local knowledge was extensive and he was a pleasure to deal with. Even assisting us with some friendly advice for our next purchase after the sale was done. I have to also mention his assistant Georgia Whitford was a huge help in the process bringing a lot of professionalism and skill to a great team.
