Sean's knowledge of the market in Torquay and Jan Juc is second to none. He's a great communicator who doesn't leave you feeling like you've been bamboozled.

My husband and I were nervous about putting our newly built home on the market, and knew we needed someone who we could trust and respect. We had agents ask us if they could look after our sale, but we knew there was only one local agent that we wanted to go through this emotional time with. Shaun has a proven success record on the Surf Coast, but it is his personal approach that we truly admired. I highly recommend Shaun to anyone that is considering buying or selling on the Surf Coast, his knowledge, commitment and communication is outstanding.

Being new to the area it was very helpful to be dealing with both Shaun and Amanda. They took the time to help me understand how Jan Juc has changed over the past decade and the pro's and con's of various locations. They very always available when I needed some help with arranging inspections and kept me informed throughout the process. I would be happy to use their services again.

Shaun was hard working in a tough market – he kept us informed with regular updates and made a difficult time much less stressful than it could have otherwise been. In the end we got a good result.

very happy homebuyers - many thanks shaun and amanda

Was happy with dealing with Shaun in our purchase

What a breeze the whole experience was! Extremely efficient and dedicated. Appointments organised straight away without a fuss. Loved Amanda too. A great team together. Will definitely recommend. Thanks guys.

It is difficult to form a trust relationship with any agent as they are always looking for the best price for the vendor. Early on in the relationship I was very sceptical of what any agent said to me. After a time however I felt more confident that Shaun was playing it straight and was very pleased that he was continually ringing to tell me about houses and changes in the market. Over the last 6 months or so I have felt comfortable within the relationship and felt we could talk quite openly regarding pricing and other complications. I have enjoyed working with Shaun and Amanda and on purchase felt a genuine collective bond.

Absolute pleasure to do business with.

Shaun and Amanda from Hocking Stuart, Torquay were highly professional, knowledgeable and very easy to deal with in all stages of selling our property, their communication skills were excellent and the final result was beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling a property.

Sean O'Callaghan and his PA are a wonderful team. I live in Queensland and even though I was a long distance away, I never felt out of the loop.They conduct business in a professional yet friendly manner. Most importantly the auction outcome was excellent. I highly recommend their services.

From the first day Shaun and Amanda did everything they could to make the purchase of my first house smooth, exciting and non-stressful. Shaun juggled the competing demands of a busy job to fit us in every time, and made us feel welcome and valued. Shaun's fun approach took the nerves away, and he was very organised and committed to keeping communication open and regular. Amanda has also been absolutely awesome to work with, maintaining plenty of regular communication throughout the process, including all the small details and great advice. Working with two happy professionals with big smiles really made the whole experience the highlight of my year. I would definitely recommend Hocking Stuart to any friends or family looking to sell or buy in the future. Thank you both so much. From Ali.
