Introduced to Simon Graff via another very satisfied home owner who had also sold their property in Port Melbourne via Simon. Simon's knowledge of the area invaluable in the instance of the property I was proposing for sale. His recommendations for improvement of the property prior to sale and the décor and tradespeople he had access to at very short notice was quite impressive and their work excellent. In all Hocking Stuart a very professional well and professional business I would have no hesitation in recommending Simon and his team to any prospective seller of their home in the area

Last June, my wife Juliana and I decided to sell our property in Liardet Street. Our property sales was attended by Simon Graf and his team. We were impressed with his professional approach at all stages from organising for marketing to auction. Simon worked even during his off day to accommodate a time convenient to us and regularly updating us with the progress throughout as well as when we were overseas during the auction day.

Simon from the beginning was very committed to achieving an exceptional result. He worked hard, constantly communicated with me and kept me informed throughout the entire process. He was extremely reliable, always called me when he said he would and never let me down. His professionalism was outstanding, he was responsive, knowledgeable and personable. The marketing strategy was spot on concluding with an outstanding result at auction. I would without a doubt, highly recommend Simon and his team at Hocking Stuart Albert Park. A very positive experience.

Simon was an excellent choice as agent and gave wonderful support and feedback throughout the process. He knows the market and the strategies required to get the best result, in my case well above the reserve price. I am so grateful to him for his professional and friendly approach at all times!

We had previously tried to sell our investment property with another agent -with no luck. Less than 12months later our property was put back on the market with Simon and sold well above our reserve. Simon's strength is in his knowledge and strategy and being able to communicate that in a simple way for us to understand the pros and cons. This is the first property we've ever sold, so we were learning as we were going, and no question was ever too simple or complex for Simon. Simon was open and kept us up to date all the way through the process. As we are now based interstate we needed the open and constant flow of communication to keep us up to speed. Nothing was ever too hard - eg Simon had recommended that we keep our tenant in whilst selling, however plans changed when they moved overseas, so Simon changed the plan and in the end it turned out to be a positive. Overall I would recommend Simon to anyone looking to sell in Melbourne, no matter the type, size or price of the property. With so much on the line, you can't afford not to choose the best - and in my opinion Simon is just that.

We found Simon to be extremely professional. His communication skills were fantastic and he always presented as a true gentleman. We would not hesitate to recommend Simon to family and friends.

Simon and his colleague David Wood provided excellent service on the property sale from initial discussions through to settlement. There was a fair and honest upfront appraisal of the property's value and market conditions. The sale marketing strategy was clear and frequent communication was provided during the sales campaign on a timely and balanced basis. I felt at all times that Simon was working on my behalf to get the best possible result on auction day and not just to get a sale. David Wood ran an excellent auction on the day and I was happy with the final outcome (which was in line with Simon's original appraisal). I would highly recommend Simon and Hocking Stuart Albert Park to potential vendors in the area.

Simon did a great job recently of selling our property. He listened to our needs and was accommodating to our circumstances. During the campaign he constantly kept us informed of progress, updates and strategy recommendations. Simon managed all aspects of selling the property from property staging, photography, property maintenance, owners corporation interface and open inspections. We found the marketing and advertising material to be of a very high quality and believe that the way Simon ran our campaign was key to our successful outcome.

Simon and his team did a wonderful job throughout the sale campaign of our property and I wouldn't hesitate using the Hocking Stuart team again. The advertisement, photos and sign board were all expertly presented as was the timing of our auction pre Christmas. Everyone was attentive during the campaign, on time to open & close our home to the public and available to answer any questions we may have had pre / post each open during the 5 week period. Simon in particular displayed great people skills (and in a people business this was top of mind for us). He took time out after hours to respond to any queries we may have had, always checked in with us in terms of any potential opens outside of the designated dates & times, showed great respect for our home, our belongings and our privacy during what can be an intrusive experience, particularly when you have up to to 30 people through your home in a 30 min window. He also took time out to go through daily and weekly reports with us, called both myself and my husband individually to update us on all the enquiries and welcomed us at other auctions spending a few minutes with us each time in the lead up to our own auction making the campaign a very smooth and positive experience. Lastly Simon and his team achieved the highest sales result in the complex for our property which we are delighted with, obviously

From start to finish Simon Graf and his Team were extremely professional and dedicated to the cause re; selling our house We had met with other local Agents prior to awarding Simon our campaign. For us the choice was simple - Simon made the difference by giving us a genuine level of comfort on all aspects of selling our house. Not only did Simon go beyond the call of duty he kept us updated on all facets of the campaign to achieve a great result. Without hesitation we'd highly recommend Simon as a preferred Agent Of Choice. Thankyou Simon and Team Hocking Stuart!

Thank you for your efforts in securing the sale of 505/65 Beach St. It was great to have you spend the time each week in contacting both myself and dad to give an appraisal of how the sale of the unit was proceeding. We were very pleased with your recommendations for conveyancer and renovation team. Given we are some distance from Port Melbourne, it was greatly appreciated that you took the time to drive over to dads place on two occasions to give your appraisal of how matters were proceeding. With respect to the day of the auction, it was a really smooth day. Your team at Hocking Stuart presented the place in excellent condition and we were happy with the price that you were able to achieve. It was nice to have the day go so well when there is potential for things to get stressful. Your calm approach to all of these things ensured that everything went smoothly and to plan. On behalf of our family, I want to express to you and your team our thanks for a job really well done.

Dear Simon I write to express my gratitude on your handling of the Sale at 14 Tucker avenue Port Melbourne. Your understanding and demeanor towards my Mother who is 83 years old was exemplary. We thank you for your guidance in achieving a result that surpassed your suggested maximum price. Simon I have no hesitation in recommending your services to any prospective client and ask you to freely pass on my phone number should a verbal reference is needed. Once again thank you and hope to engage your services again in the future. Regards George and Maria Steffen.
