We chose the right agent!

We found Simon to be a professional and dedicated real estate agent. His prompt and detailed feedback after each opening was informative and kept us 'in the picture.' Together with his ongoing assessments of potential buyers we were able to approach our auction day with some degree of confidence! Simon's auctioning skills and performance on the day delivered us a great result! Thank you Simon for all your efforts and also for my beautiful 'auction day' flowers.

Great honest agent

We first met Simon at a property in Port Melbourne. Simon listened to our requirements and identified that the property wasn't quite what we needed. Simon kept us up to date with what was on the market then when we found the property for us he worked with us to make sure we had everything we needed to bid at the auction. We valued highly his honesty about the owner's price expectation, unlike many other agents we encountered Simon didn't tell us a lower price to keep us interested, he was up front and when the owner increased their expectations he let us know. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Simon.

Thank you Simon!

Simon did an excellent job selling our property. We first dealt with Simon 5 years ago when buying in Port Melbourne. From that experience we had great confidence in Simon going in to the campaign. We knew he had very sound knowledge of the Port Melbourne market and would give us the best possible chance of a successful outcome. He and Max Mercuri didn’t disappoint!

Highly recommend

Simon was a fantastic agent and delivered a superb result at auction. He was very professional, approachable, genuine and honest. We were overseas throughout the sales campaign and he kept us fully informed after each open home and we could always contact him if we had any queries at all - it was nice knowing we had an agent we could fully trust. As Simon did the opens and was the auctioneer as well he knew the potential buyers and did a fantastic job at auction to get us the highest possible price. We would highly recommend him! Thank you Simon, couldn't have asked for any better!

IMPRESSIVE

Simon Gowling did an excellent job on selling my property in South Melbourne, he did not put a foot wrong throughout the campaign and added significant value at the critical times. His advice was spot on, but what I appreciated the most was the integrity he displayed in his dealings with me.

Best Agent to sell your home with confidence and stress free

We had the absolute please of having Simon Gowling represent our home in South Melbourne and be our auctioneer. From the first meeting Simon and his colleagues at Greg Hocking Holdsworth Real estate were energetic, engaging and had excellent property knowledge of the area and could answer our questions with confidence. The level of service Simon and Max gave us in our marketing campaign was excellent. They were contactable at all times, friendly and always offered sound advice. Communication was frequent and flowing. As your agent and front face to your property Simon is charismatic and a great ambassador to sell your home. His experience was proven when his proposed auction day plan was followed and led to a very successful result for our home. I have no hesitation in recommending Simon and his wonderful team and Greg Hocking Holdsworth in Albert Park.

Amazing all round

I am so happy with the service I received from Simon Gowling and Greg Hocking overall with the sale of my home. From day 1, Simon has been extremely professional and supported us on this journey ensuring we made the right decisions. Simon's knowledge of the market in our area is second to none and his support through the campaign has made the selling of my house a very low stress and positive experience. Simon regularly makes contact and ensures that all your questions/concerns are answered. He provides great advice on what you need to do in preparation for your sale. Simon and Max make a great team and always follow through with their commitments. This also extends to the broader Greg Hocking services as it was all very positive (photography, copywriter, floor plans etc). I would have no hesitation on choosing Simon for my next home sale.

Integrity and care - a real estate rarety?

I met Simon when I bought my home through him four years ago. He struck me as a tough but fair back then. Over the years he kept in contact, and I'd regularly bump into him and his family in the neighbourhood. He advised me on what improvements I should and shouldn't do to the home. So when we were thinking of selling, he was keen (but not pushy) to help. Max and him made a great duo, helping us think through how to prepare and market our home, not to mention bringing flowers to keep my wife smiling. In the end, stressful as any auction sale is, we got a result ahead of our expectation. He also coached me through buying another house at auction that wasn't with Greg Hocking, a thoughtful touch around a moment of uncertainty that most of us have little experience in.
