Stephen has been extremely helpful with my partner and I purchasing our dream home. He is very knowledgeable with the real estate market and I would be more than happy to recommend him as a top quality estate agent!

Stephen has been extremely helpful during the whole process of buying my first property. He has been very patient while I asked a thousand questions, and not one time, made me feel bad about asking them. His knowledge of the area has been fantastic. Stephen has made this experience of buying a property very enjoyable, and I once again thank him for all his hard work!

I would sell our property with Stephen again or refer him to anyone who wants to sell. Stephen was referred to us by our good family friends. Stephen made us comfortable with our decision and we trusted him from the start. He was always available for any questions, he gave us all the important feedback from the buyers and advised us on where to make the necessary adjustments as we went through the process and best of all we sold!!!! Thank you Stephen, it was so easy going through this with you.

Stephen was an extremely helpful, attentive and caring agent. He was available whenever we needed his advice or had any questions to ask, and always came in with the highest level of knowledge, which was super important in the current market. We were so so happy with him as our agent, and couldn't think of anyone better . Our sale was smooth and we were pleased with the result. Thanks Stephen!!

Stephen was a friendly and attentive agent - without being over the top. When he didn't know an answer to my question, he was honest about it, and made every effort to find out and come back to me - usually on the same day. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Stephen is professional and highly motivated with a mature, personable attitude towards his clients. He is assertive, driven and demonstrates understanding and compassion. We found him really easy going, he was transparent through the whole process with frequent communication. He is committed to reaching our high expectations which he exceeded, so we’re pleased to be engaging him again on our next property. A pleasure to work with.

It was such a pleasure having Stephen as our agent. We were selling a property with some difficult issues, and Stephen was up-front with buyers, talked them through their options, persisted through a lot of barriers, and was always friendly, cheerful, informative and immaculately presented. And in the end he sold the house for a price that worked for us - we honestly didn't think anyone would be able to do it. A very impressive job.

It was a pleasure working with Stephen Simmonds and the Hockingstuart Yarraville team. Stephen's knowledge about the local area is second to none and his calm and friendly approach is a real testament to his professionalism. Stephen's enthusiasm and positive can do attitude made the entire exercise of selling a property easy. Thanks again.

Stephen is young, but that does not mean he is short on smart, wit, personality, business acumen and downright professionalism, but what do you expect when he works for Hocking and Stuart - I sold my house recently, I think the only thing I had to do was sign a form, the rest was done by Hocking and Stuart - we achieved an terrific sales result and I just want to buy another house so that Hocking and Stuart can sell it for me... I could not recommend Stephen or Hocking and Stuart highly enough ! go to to them to buy, sell, rent and whatever else they can do for you in the real estate market. DEB

I can honestly say that Stephen was exactly the person I needed to handle the sale of my first property. Not only did he have the skills and knowledge required to make it all happen, but he kept my nerves under control with constant updates and support. A massive thank you to Stephen and the team from HS Yarraville.

Stephen followed through with all promises made at the initial meeting. He organised the marketing package, attended each of the opens and communicated the buyer interest and information regularly. Thanks Stephen.

Stephen was a pleasure to work with! He was very helpful with every query or request we had and you could tell he actually cared about our experience throughout the buying process. I would highly recommend Stephen and would love to work with him with future properties.
