We were very happy with Mark Watkins who handles the auction of our property in Mt Waverley in April 2015. Mark listened to our concerns and respected those kindly. He went out of his way, as we had to travel from interstate, to meet with us at an area outside Melbourne that was convenient to us to discuss the sale of the property . Mark was polite and considerate at all times.

Mark is very friendly efficient fast responding agent, thanks for his great service in purchasing my new property.

Obviously as a vendor, a good relationship with one's agent is crucial. Mark was always responsive, accommodating helpful and worked at the relationship. He and his people did a great job of getting enough genuine buyers to our auction to make bidding competitive. Mark's enthusiasm is infectious. In an industry full of rhetoric and hype and where no one seems immune, Mark has an underlying ability to reach what is truly important for a vendor beyond (but including) a good sale price. Observing him as an auctioneer, which I did more than just for our sale, he showed an ability to read the bidders and make them feel positive about buying. This skill is not mechanical and process driven, but intuitive and in the moment. Auctions are an emotional game for vendors and buyers, and Mark exudes a confidence that deals with this. Mark from Mt Waverley and colleague Merelyn Bond (Glen Waverley) were a great cobination for us.

I have no hesitation in recommending that you talk to Mark when considering to sell your property. When we first met with him we were impressed by his knowledge of the market in the Mt Waverley area and his enthusiasm re the prospect of handling the sale of our property. He proved to be correct with his initial thoughts on what types of buyers would be interested in the property and the result on auction day was outstanding, despite the fact that Mark as auctioneer was afflicted with a bad flu.

I had been looking to buy property through other agents for a number of years but I just didn't feel I was getting the correct unbiased information. After I met Mark I was given correct honest advice and I purchased a place with his help a month later. The process was very smooth and easy and Mark is very knowledgable about the market. I highly recommend Mark.

I met Mark during my search for a real estate agent to sell my home and found him to be open, honest, enthusiastic & knowledgeable about real estate in my area. His reliability,hard work and above all he constantly kept me informed during the sale, making it a pleasure to work with him. Marks experience and his advice to me concluded in a sucessfull result with very little stress for me. I would highly recommend Mark Watkins to anyone buying or selling real estate.

We have sold and bought 4 houses over the last 7 years and Mark Watkins has been our agent. We have found Mark to be very passionate, approachable and has always gone the extra mile with our requests. His knowledge of and commitment to the industry is a credit to himself and I highly recommend if anyone is looking for and agent Mark is the man. I would also like to thank the staff at Hocking Stuart Mt. Waverley, they have always been very helpful with a smile.

Mark your commitment to not only the sale of our home but also the 'where to from here' concern you showed, has left a lasting impression upon us. Throughout the selling process you made sure not to inconvenience our family beyond what was necessary and your many years of sales experience and knowledge of the area proved to be a prudent and effective formula. Thank you once again, Peter and Xanthi Tochovitis

The whole process of selling was smooth and the price very good. I have had dealings with many selling agents over the years and Mark is the best.

Mark was extremely kind and considerate during the sale of my home. He is incredibly patient and professional and I would not hesitate to recommend him and the team at Hocking Stuart.

Mark's handling of the sale was second to none - the effort, promotion of the property and feedback along the way helped deliver a great result. Would have no hesitation is using his services again or recommending the Hocking Stuart Mt Waverley branch.

My wife & I spoke to a number of local real estate agents in Mount Waverley about selling our home. We were very impressed with Marks Watkins presentation & after sleeping on our decision for a few days we decided to go ahead with Hockingstuart. Mark & his team clearly mapped out the steps & process of the campaign. We had the photography taken & the campaign began. Two weeks later our house was sold. We were absolutely delighted with the result & the process was painless. We highly recommend Hockingstuart as you agent. You won't be disappointed. Regards, Alex & Cynthia Lahiff
