It was a pleasure to work with Sam Hobbs —which has never been the case with any other real estate agent. Sam was acting for the vendor of an apartment I purchased, and was so experienced, reasonable and personable that I asked him to sell my property. Which he did successfully. Sam was diligent, generous — even though a small property he gave the campaign his full attention — good humored and highly skilled. Sam and his team are outstanding.

My wife and I had the pleasure of dealing with Sam during the sale of our property. The market specific insight he provided us gave us great comfort during the process. Sam was in constant communication with us and on the day of the sale calmed our nerves and achieved a great result. Can highly recommend Sam and his team

Sam has sold several properties for me in the last 18 months. Each of which were completely different propositions from the others. But what was consistent was Sam's ability to read the room and hit the market with intelligence and confidence. And sell them! It is not always the great properties thay define the capability of the Agent. But the tough ones. And he can sell it all.

Right from the start Sam made us feel that he was there to do his very best to ensure that our property was well-prepared for the market and a key part of that was we were fully involved and clear about the process and happy with the decisions being made. At all times he kept us up-to-date with regular reports .on how open inspections were going and conversations with buyers. We can't speak highly enough about his professionalism, integrity, and patience.

Sam and Katie took time to understand our expectations and provided a selling solution that was a best fit for us. Some others we spoke to seemed to just offer the same thing no matter what the personal circumstances or market conditions are. Same and Katie provided a personal touch, listened to us and provided expertise in a consultative manner. This all resulted in us selling the property in 3 weeks in a challenging market.

Sam is friendly, professional and genuine. We trusted him to negotiate buying our new home and he made it a stress free and enjoyable transaction.

Most agents ply their craft by managing expectations. Particularly for a vendor. They entreat you with the optimistic view to get your listing. Then afterwards manage you down. I know this sounds cynical. But once you know what they are doing you have, well, agency! What I enjoyed about Sam is he listened to our expectations. Spoke to the challenges of them. And the possibilities. But never lost sight of what we had hoped. Rather than contest it...he went about matching our expectations. And to be honest..exceeding them . He talks straight with no hint of colour or fluff. And he listens. He got a record high for the apartment block for us. Our expectations were met. And then some. Sam does this better than anyone in the market.

Sam was attentive, knowledgeable and professional. I have no reservation in recommending him.

Sam Hobbs was a great agent to work with on the sale of my property. He had a very good knowledge of the market and gave very honest and useful advice as to the best way to achieve the result I was after. He was really easy to communicate with and always kept me well informed about needed to be done and what was happening. He got a price I was really happy with and I would thoroughly recommend him.

We bought our house from Sam over a decade ago and done an extension and renovation recently. Sam was able to appreciate the work that’s gone in and was able to get a good price for the property. He has a good knowledge about property market in St Kilda and surroundings. He was professional throughout the selling process and we are very happy with the outcome. I recommend Sam Hobbs without any hesitation.

We were really concerned about selling our place in a bull market. Sam and his team helped us set realistic expectations, plan a smart campaign and achieve a great price.

Got us a sale price we were happy with in a flat market
