Nick's experience in real estate shined forth through the entire process to sell my property. He shared his practical years of experience with his knowledge of the market and buyers to lay out an excellent plan that led to a great result at the auction. The advice and guidance Nick gave was spot on and full of integrity. Nick is clearly at the top of the ladder in all ways including when looking for agent that understands, that tells it how it is and not just what you want to hear, and will do the best for you. I am pleased with Nick and will use him to sell my other property.

Nick went above and beyond for not only me as the purchaser but also the vendor. He made things happen, working within our budget and time frames. I felt that Nick was respectful of both our needs and the vendors needs and we all walked away with the best outcome for everyone. I was so happy to deal with Nick and he should be commended for his extremely polite, professional work ethic and easy going nature. Thank you Nick for making our home dream a reality.

Having just sold our home of 47 years and bought another through Nick Goold of Hockingstuart, Mt. Waverley we can highly recommend him as a dedicated professional who is also friendly and very approachable. He listened to our requests, never pressured us but kept in constant contact informing us of the current market, the procedures we needed to follow and answering our innumerable questions. Nick certainly made our experience a pleasant one with a most satisfactory result.

I have come across Nick on both the buyers side and sellers side of the property market. On the buyers side he was conscientious and we had a great rapport almost instantly. Weeks later while I was still looking for a place to buy he remembered me straight away and even could recall my background and why I had missed out on a previous property. He was able to answer most of my questions about the property and the area and was very good at pointing out other, non-obvious features about either the property or the location. Three years later I spoke with Nick about selling my property. Warm, friendly and knowledgeable, we signed with him after a great chat - discussing everything from the bigger picture of selling the place to the minor details of the mechanics of the transaction. Throughout the process it was solely Nick who dealt with our property, running every inspection, doing all the follow up through during the week through to auctioning the property. Nick and hockingstuart showed their innovative side with a great targeted social media campaign and digital brochure pack. Bi-weekly updates on the campaign were appreciated, both phone calls, in person meetings and email summaries - which while trying to buy a property at the same time meant that if I missed a phone call with Nick I still had the details of how the campaign tracked. The proof of the excellent campaign Nick ran for my property was that we received an outstanding outcome in a falling market; exceeding out expectations. There were at least five buyers in the crowd for our property which lead to the excellent result.

With so many agents anxious to be the one to sell your property, it is difficult to choose. Nick Goold stood out from the rest with his friendliness, knowledge and professionalism without being patronising or condescending. He was very professional and courteous, and took a great interest in doing the best for selling my property. He was there on Open Days and was the auctioneer. He even took time away from his new born baby to run the auction, with a great result. I am very grateful for the advice and attention Nick gave me with the sale of my house. Thoroughly recommended.

Excellent agent and would highly recommend him to anyone selling

We found Nick to be enthusiastic, very presentable and professional throughout the marketing campaign of our property and extremely hard working to get the best possible result. Would have no problem in recommending Nick to any prospective vendor.

We are very happy with Nick's approach to the overall campaign of our property. From initial discussions, to the marketing campaign, to liaising with prospects, conduct at auction, succeeding with a sale and after sales, he proved to be very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

When looking for an agent I spoke to my sister who had purchased in the area and asked who she found to be the most helpful and the best to deal with during the process of her purchase. She recommended Nick who she purchased through and I couldn't have been happier with my choice. Nick is enthusiastic and full of knowledge and experience which is what I needed to sell my unit as it was going to be a bit difficult one to sell being a stratum title. He reassured me throughout the process, putting me at ease and was excellent with his communication throughout delivering all expectations and promises. I was really happy with the advertising package which was recommended and the standard of the photos which I believe brought the big numbers through. As an Auctioneer he is confident, loud and got the job done, he always had our best interests at heart and getting the best result we could on the day. In what can be a stressful time Nick's support was a blessing, thank you!

Great experience , fully professional, amazing industry knowledge . Would not hesitate for referrals to friends and family.

I was pleased with the way in which the auction was conducted and the achievement of a very good price for the property. Nick Gould, as auctioneer, was personally well presented, professional and enthusiastic.

Hocking Stuart were professional and accurate in their price estimation. Communication throughout the campaign was good and we are happy with the result.
