I highly recommend Peter Kennett and his team. He is of course experienced and knowledgeable, but what I think sets him apart is his direct, transparent approach - he listens, he understands a vendor's objectives, he provides appropriate guidance, and is focused on outcomes. I had absolute confidence in him throughout the campaign.

My husband and I recently sold our property using Peter Kennett from Hocking Stuart as our agent. The process ran very smoothly and could not fault any aspect of the experience. We would highly recommend Peter to any prospective vendor.

We were truly amazed at his auctioning abilities namely persistence and determination to deliver the results on auction day and his personal guidance in helping vendors through the campaign process and on auction day. We would also like to thank tamara who contributed to the sale of our property and her constant follow up. We recommend Peter & Tamara to any potential vendors who are considering selling their property through Hocking Stuart.

Peter was courteous and helpful in presenting the property which we were successful in purchasing. I would certainly want to consider him if we were in a position to sell in the future.

Peter and his team, including Ben and Tamara, all suggested that I would like 14 Vaucluse Street, although it was almost the exact opposite of what I thought I wanted. They were right.

Peter handled our sale campaign very well; his assistant Tamara was also professional and very helpful. The auction went well and I believe we got the best possible price. Their hard work and diligence lead to a great result and I would not hesitate to recommend both Peter and Tamara as well as Hocking Stuart Brighton.

Dear Peter and Tamara On behalf of Carolyn and myself I’d like to say thank you very much for your fine work in presenting our house to potential bidders during November and for running such a successful auction on Saturday. It was great to exceed our “Gold” target. Whilst you, like we, might have been taken by surprise by the purchasers only coming through for the first time on auction day, which leads one to wonder what all the preparation was for, the eventual price wouldn’t have been achieved without the bidding of the other five interested parties who had been seduced by the property during the campaign. We liked the way you worked, your personal presentation, your passion for the job, your research and the way you connected with us. Auction day itself was nerve-wracking, of course. We’d like to have been out front watching proceedings, to see the performance and the engagement with the crowd - we’ve seen Joan from next door since and she reckons she deserves some of your commission for her input ! - and to see all the different bidders take their turn. Peter, it’s clear you still retain a passion for your work. The sparkle hasn’t diminished iin the 19 years since you last sold 125 Head St. I can’t let Peter take all the credit, Tamara. Thank you too for your hard work. I’m sure that being a local to the area, made it easier to convince interested parties of the merits of the property. Say thanks to your mum and sister for coming on Saturday please. Thank you for the small touches too: the flowers from Jackie and the hamper after the auction in particular. I will be contacting Linda for some Christmas hampers for our office tomorrow. We are so pleased we trusted our instincts and went with Hocking Stuart rather than Marshall White - Saturday’s results just underlined that. Regards Mark and Carolyn

Peter and Tamara were most helpful; their assistance was much appreciated

Peter has just sold our home (for $$ above our expectations). And has also sold an investment property for us with great success prior to that. We found Peter to be astute regarding both our property and the market in general....he listened to us at all times, and gave great advice and information throughout the sales campaign. We felt supported by Peter and his whole team.....and would recommend him TO EVERYONE! The neighbours enjoyed the auction.....and we enjoyed the result!!! Peter is a GREAT auctioneer!

We recently sold our Brighton property through Hocking Stuart Brighton. Peter and Tamara executed an excellent sale campaign that resulted in a high level of interest in the property. Having Peter as both the Selling Agent and Auctioneer no doubt was a point of difference to other Agents that resulted in our sale price expectations being met. We would have no hesitation in buying or selling from both Peter and Tamara again in the future.

Peter Kennentt together with Tamara Whelan and the entire Hocking Stuart office provided a highly professional and successful outcome to the sale of our property. Peter is arguaably the most experienced agent in the Brighton area and this experience certainly played a significant part in the excellent result that was achieved. A great deal of emphasis is often placed on the number of properties sold by various agents, the true test is not on the quantity but on the individual results of each sale. Peter is without doubt the "QC" of bayside real estate.

Peter and Tamara impressed us so much with their approach to selling the home we purchased and also in their approach to that of other 'open houses' we had attended, that we decided to afford them the opportunity to showcase their real estate approach against that of a number of other potential agents when we were canvassing and considering which real estate agent to appoint to sell our property. Peter and Tamara were selected based on their immediate Bayside focus, market savy, realistic marketing proposal, competitive pricing in addition to their genuine commitment to work with us as vendors to achieve the objective we desired using the methodology we most preferred. Throughout the campaign they were totally reliable and provided us with constant timely regular feedback. On the day of sale, Peter's auction prowess proved to be extremely commanding and attracted numerous compliments from many who attended the auction - resulting in a successful conclusion to our campaign. As a property professional myself, I would wholeheartedly commend the services of this formidable team to you.
