Maurice Dimarzio (& Joe Falzon) live up to their reputation as one of Australia's pre-eminent real estate consultants. I would not hesitate recommending them to anyone wanting peace of mind with regard to getting the best possible price for their property. Ken Collette
We are delighted to have made the decision to approach the Balwyn agency of Hocking Stuart and particularly Mr Maurice Di Marzio and Tim Mursell. Both have given great advise and assistance with marketing our property While we were interstate they presented our property to the market leaving it in immaculate condition. We wish to thank them for the great Sales result and highly recommend the Balwyn office.
Very happy with Maurice and his offsider joe. They kept me well informed through process and then did some fantastic negotiation on auction day. Would recommend highly.
The complexity of selling three tenanted units in one line should not be underestimated. Maurice and his team managed the tenants (and their issues) to provide drama free inspections and auction. The attendance was higher than average which resulted in a high level of communication to establish how the market assessed the property both in appeal and value. That required finessing toward the end of the campaign to establish who was genuinely interested and to what value. This task was done extremely well so that on the day Maurice knew how far to push the boundaries without dropping the ball. There were six prospective bidders, two of whom participated until a knock out bid from a Buyers Advocate. Even then Maurice recommended holding back on final acceptance until he was totally satisfied there were no more players or money on offer. All of this was done without self promotion or reliance on a well known "large brand name". It just comes down to good old fashioned service from an individual and his assistant rather than a "machine of a company" that treats you as a number rather than an individual. I would have no hesitation in using Maurice again - nor hesitate in recommending his services elsewhere.
Thank you Maurice and Sharon for doing an amazing job in selling my home. It wasn't easy but your experience , patience and negotiation skills got us over the line.
Maurice was professional and easy to work with throughout our auction campaign. He put forward many useful and distinctive ideas, but was also open to our suggestions. His campaign attracted many buyers and he gave us good feedback throughout. At the end of the campaign, despite the distraction of a personal mishap, he conducted the auction and achieved a great price. I would not hesitate to sell through Maurice again.
The pre planning meeting for the auction was excellent with clearly defined targets in place. There was strong interest amongst the bidders and Maurice did an excellent job in getting the auction up and running . He sustained the momentum throughout and the resultant sale is very much reflection of his professionalism. He was well supported by the other Hocking Stuart sales team members ( special mention to Tim ) . Thanks again, for a job well done.
When Selling an apartment in a larger complex it is important to have an agent that has a good knowledge of your complex. When interviewing agents for my sale it was obvious to me that Maurice and his staff from Hocking Stuart were outstanding in this area and the only agent to suggest sale by auction. I was kept fully informed through the sales campaign and the selection of Maurice was a reflection on the final result which was way over my expectations, outstanding and very informative Auction. No hesitation in recommending Maurice and his office. Peter.
After meeting with (and interviewing) three local agents to Mont Albert it was an easy decision to choose Maurice and his team to sell my late father's and our family home. I was particularly impressed with the attractive and informative website for Hockingstuart. For me it was important to have an agent that was well recognised in the industry and this was well supported by the volume of properties for sale on their site. Maurice was quick to respond to early enquires and i liked that he had a good understanding of the desirability of the location not only anecdotally from his experience, but also from independent research from renowned resources. Tasked with selling the family home, as the vendor, i was interstate for the sales campaign. Maurice and his team, kept me up to date with interest generated through the sales campaign period at all times via email and mobile phone. The outcome from the auction exceeded all our expectations. I would highly recommend Maurice to represent the sale of your home. He understands his clients and more importantly understands how to generate interest in your home from potential buyers and through his expertise endeavours to provide a positive outcome for all.
Maurice, Adrian and his team did a great job at the auction with only one bidder, still getting within their appraisal range for us. Thanks guys! Happy to recommend to everyone.
We engaged Maurice DiMarzio of Hocking Stuart Balwyn on the recommendation of friends. Maurice, Paul and Tim gave us advice on the best way to present out property, performed detailed follow-ups with all of the attendees at the Open For Inspections and communicated really well during the entire campaign. Maurice's highlight during our campaign were his negotiating skills and if we're in the same position again in the future we would look to engage Maurice again.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Maurice during the sale of my apartment. Maurice was very professional and constantly provided me with updates, he also exceeded expectations on sale price.
