Mark was friendly and helpful. He was very upfront with information and kept us informed of the progress of negotiations during the sale so that we had a good idea at all times of where we stood. He clearly knew the property well and could communicate its features to us. With Mark's assistance, we were able to complete the sale in a short time frame with minimum fuss.
When considering selling Mark indicate a price range and he was on the money. Mark and his parents have been known to our family for a very long time as Hockingstuart Mt Waverley is literaly around the corner from our house/property. I know Mark and his parents to be honest and upright people who do not distort or embellish in order to get the job done. They simply tell it as it is and not try and pass a sows ear off as a silk purse or sell a silk purse as a sows ear. Mark provides good timely advice and keeps you up to date. On auction day he apparently did a very good job as evidenced by a friend and the price obtained. I was not present as I do not have a poker face and therefore chose to be away from the site contactable by mobile phone so people could not read my emotions. In all I was very happy with the only comment was sometimes Mark would indicate he would call you back shortly and it would be day or two later. Mark was a good friend to my mother for a number of years before her passing often stopping to chat with her. Her instructions were to use Mark for the sale of the property and I am glad that we had. It is unfortunate other franchises of Hockingstuart are in the media for negative reasons as Mark and his team are a credit to themselves and there franchise. Jim Peachey
Mark is so good. Just confidently believe him. Everything will be easy. And you will be happy
I was very impressed with the professionalism with which Mark handled me as a client.He no doubt explained things well throughout the deal and reverted on issues with which I had certain doubts.He also accommodated certain of my requests and I think he is definitely a big human asset to Hocking Stuart.
Was nothing but Professional and sensitive to our situation, I would highly recommend this real estate agent.
from initial contact Mark demonstrated understanding, compassion market knowledge and was willing to work in the background to determine the potential sale opportunity. once engaged was efficient and professional from beginning to end and was willing to go the extra mile to ensure both vendor and purchaser were satisfied. I would highly recommend Mark Watkins to anyone considering selling or purchasing in the Mount Waverley area.
Mark Watkins and Co, were ' Brilliant, compassionate, informative and positive!' Mark was with my Mum every step of the way. He kept in touch, was realistic price wise and also knew this was hard for her, this being her family home for over 40 years. It wasn' t just about the money gained, but about what was best for Mum. His inquiries and thoroughness was second to none. We felt that he was on our side, it wasn't just about getting a sale. As l said before, It was all about what was best for Mum and to achieve her goal in old age. Retirement, feeling safe and being comfortable. I know this was what was foremost in Mark's mind and attitude. As a family we can not thank him enough! We have peace of mind and this was paramount to all involved in this huge decision. A tremendous, caring and thoughtful service in such a difficult time. This was such a smooth and easy process. Thanks to all involved. Much appreciated.
Mark is your friend working in real estate business. He is professional as well as attention to details and very organised. He has been very helpful and straight forward with how about going forward to seal a purchase. Two thumbs up!
Mark was professional and friendly the whole way through. He continued to stay in touch during the process to keep us informed about everything that was happening and achieved an excellent result.
We were selling our parents home after 45 plus years of happy family memories. Mark and his colleagues understood our needs and emotions very well. We were given clarity around our role as vendors to present our properties potential. Mark was always enthusiastic, professional and friendly. We were regularly updated on the state of the market and Mark achieved a sale on the day of auction in a slowing market.
