We found Mark Staples to be very professional in all his dealings with us. His advice was always well researched and credible; he was a very good communicator with follow up as agreed and on time. We enjoyed his sense of humour, which reduced the inevitable stresses of a sale by auction. There were a number of strong bidders at the auction, with a good sale price, and reflected Mark's efforts to ensure the bidders were "well primed" for the auction day. We have already recommended Mark Staples to other potential vendors.

Mark was great. He kept in contact with us regularly throughout the sales campaign, giving us updates on everything. He worked hard to get us a result we were happy with.

Mark has sold two of our homes, as well as his office managing our tenants in an investment property. We now live out of Melbourne and recently sold a house in Carnegie. Whilst living over an hour from the property, the amount of support Mark and his team provided was extraordinary and we never felt too distant from the situation. At all times, we felt completely informed by being given regular reliable and informative feedback and advice, and as a consequence we felt calmer in a typically very stressful time in one's life.

320 Koornang Rd is the second property we have sold with Mark Staples and Hocking Stuart. Mark is an estate agent who offers outstanding customer service, he has broad knowledge of he local market, he is an excellent communicator and has a warm, laid back style. Throughout the whole of our auction campaign we felt incredibly well supported by not only Mark but also his wonderful team at Hocking Stuart. The auction day itself did not go to plan however Mark kept us calm throughout, updating us regularly on the progress of the bidding whilst his immediate team worked hard to secure the best outcome for everyone involved. I have already recommended Mark and his team to several friends in the area and will continue to do so based on his fantastic customer service, his attention to detail and his truly genuine nature. Thanks again Mark and everyone at Hocking Stuart for a wonderful result at auction and making our dreams come true! Sam Shanks & Lisa Wright

Mark and Sarah operated very well as a team. Any questions or queries we had were answered promptly. All dates in the sale diary were met on the day. And we received prompt reports after every open house. On auction day all staff we very helpful and respectful of our wishes and treated us though we were the only clients on the day. Mark conducted the auction very professionally and the sale price exceeded our reserve and expectations by over $200,000.00. Mark is still in contact ensuring everything is going smoothly until settlement.

I would highly recommend Mark Staples. Mark is very approachable, friendly and is an expert in the real estate industry.

Mark is incredibly friendly and professional, he works very hard and gets result. I would not hesitate in recommending him

Hocking Stuart as an agency and Mark Staples as the Director in charge of the campaign, were terrific in selling our home of 12 years. Marks honesty in the approach and strategic advice were spot on (even if it differed from my own thoughts) which ultimately resulted in a breath taking result.

Mark and the team were very proactive in keeping us informed around the process and in progress of the campaign at the various stages. They were not overly pushy with us as some agents can be, but instead provided us with appropriate information and data in order for us to make informed decisions. We were very pleased with the auction result. Tim and Brooke, Carnegie.
