Stephen was great from the word go - he was able to accomodate our first inspection of the property at half an hour's notice, and greeted us warmly at every subsequent inspection. As this was our first auction/purchase, he regularly touched base with us to see where we were at, kept us informed as to where other interested parties stood with the property, and even gave me advice as to how to bid on the day of the auction. Since the purchase of the property, he has gone above and beyond, helping with all our annoying questions about the most minute of details - things like the state of utilities, changes of body corporate, and even the dimensions of a fridge cavity. I have no doubt he will continue to be just as helpful as we move towards settlement, and in the subsequent months/years in our beautiful new home.

Selling our apartment with Stephen was easy from the get go. He was very committed to getting us the best result for our sell. We found him very attentive and thorough during the whole process.

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.
