Stephen is very easy to talk to and he responded to my questions very quickly. The experience dealing with Stephen is that he knows his stuff well and he kept me posted through out the whole process. I would not have any hesitation recommending Stephen to anyone who wants to buy/sell a property.
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Stephen and Julia when selling our home. From start to finish they remained professional, responsive and incredibly efficient. I highly recommend them as standout professionals in their field.
Stephen's honesty, great communication and friendliness restored our faith in buying property. We appreciated how he communicated the vendor's needs clearly so we could make an informed decision. After a long property search and many disappointments along the way, it was a relief to go through this process with a professional agent. Thank you to you and Julia for helping us get our dream home!
Stephen is a very knowledgable agent who has been very open, honest and transparent throughout the entire process from prior to listing all the way to settlement. We have sought his advice on lots of occasions even prior to listing the home and his local knowledge has been instrumental in a number of our decisions.
It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Stephen and Julia through the process of deciding on and purchasing my new home . I found them both to be extremely warm and engaging, positive, enthusiastic and only too happy to offer guidance, with a genuine interest in my needs. I am indeed grateful for Stephen’s knowledge and experience and complete transparency in our discussions and negotiations, going out of his way to keep me fully informed about the property and regularly updated in terms of what I needed to do. His interest in ensuring I was comfortable with my decision and any uncertainties was very reassuring. No question or request was too much trouble; he was available to reason and discuss any concerns at any time. The guidance and support he offered along the way made a potentially daunting process seem very comfortable and very streamline. I cannot praise him highly enough for the courtesy and professionalism he extended to me, his knowledge of the industry and passion for his local area.
We originally canvassed and met with many local Lane Cove agents. As a last resort, we found Stephen and Julia online. Having met them together, they were the most genuine, down to earth and honest agents when compared to the others. So we went with them. Throughout the whole process, they were with us step by step. Always advising and helping to push the process along but also with our best interests at heart. They communicated very well and always came up with options for us to make. Even when the market turned downwards, they always remained upbeat and positive, knowing that the right buyer was nearby. As a result, we found that right buyer and sold for a price that we were really happy with. Always helpful and honest, Julia and Stephen were a great team and we thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their property.
Stephen and Julia are very knowledgable and excellent communicators, they have extensive experiences within the industry and offered high quality professional service throughout my sales campaign. I would recommend them to my friends and family.
We approached Stephen due to his reputation as a premier Real Estate Agent in the Lane Cove area. The market at the time was certainly what you would describe as a "buyers" market and Auction clearance rates were the lowest in many years. Stephen was excellent at both outlining the best strategy at the point at which the property was put on the market and being quick thinking and flexible in order to successfully navigate through what became a fast changing market. Stephen was able to secure us a fantastic price for our home when other similar properties remained unsold. His negotiation skills at the end of the process were particularly impressive as was his constant communication throughout the process.
Stephen has been a amazing agent who made us feel at ease. He included us with every decision and process of the sale of our place. He gave us recommendations based on what was best for us, rather than what was best for his own pocket. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
We have both been delighted by the experience we have had in dealing with Stephen and Julia. We cannot praise them both highly enough for their courtesy, attention and professionalism. We were impressed by the way they handled the sale of our unit, from the first meeting when they worked out what needed to be done to the last meeting when everything had been organised. The unit looked amazing when the decorators had left, and the sale proceeded very quickly and smoothly from the first open inspection. They provided us with the conveyancing solicitor, so that we virtually had no work to do ourselves. We are extremely grateful to them both and would recommend them to any prospective seller.

When you put your most valuable possession in the hands of someone you are always apprehensive that you've made the right choice. However it didn't take long for us to realise that we had chosen wisely. He managed to get us a great result in a very difficult market.
Stephen Hankins and Julia Sikora recently sold our townhouse in Marsfield. From our first meeting with Stephen and Julia we were impressed with their enthusiasm, passion and positivity. Stephen and Julia were extremely patient and understanding towards our requirements. They kept us informed throughout the entire campaign, communicating constant updates and advice. Their knowledge and insight of the local market is extensive, and we received an exceptional result. Over the course of the marketing and resulting sale of our property, we became good friends with them both and will have no hesitation in engaging their services in the future. We unequivocally recommend Stephen and Julia to anybody looking to sell their property. P Hawkings & S Ibanhez
