When I first met Wally at an open for inspection, he was personable and professional. In the lead up to the auction, he was always available to answer any queries I had. On auction day, he was excellent and it was a great result for me. He has continued to be available in the lead up to settlement. I would highly recommend Wally.
Wally was a trusted contact during what turned out to be a year-long process, as the unit building we wanted to sell was converting from stratum to strata. During that time, Wally stayed in touch and was available for advice. Once the go-ahead was given, the sales campaign was handled professionally with regular feedback and reporting. The eventual outcome went well beyond our expectations.
Throughout the selling process walter was a true professinal. As a first time seller he armed me with all information I needed, and always communicated regularly and promptly. With my house in Walter's hands the only things I need to worry about was prepping for each inspection day. My final auction result was fantastic.
Wally was a very trust worthy and honest operator that made life easy. He understands the market intimately and made sure we were kept up to date. Wally definitely went the extra mile to make sure we got the best possible price and he is clearly driven to succeed which is what you want in an agent. I highly recommend Wally and will use him again.
When I approached Walter to sell my apartment, he had provided a very clear campaign strategy based of his extensive knowledge of the local market. Throughout the sales campaign I received regular, honest, accurate, clear and detailed updates on the progress of the campaign which kept me comfortable that the chosen strategy was working. One the auction day, the result was ~15% better than expected with the sales campaign fair exceeding my expectation. Working with Wally was so easy! I could not recommend his services highly enough to anyone wanting to buy or sell within Melbourne's SE suburbs.
I was very happy with the marketing campaign and auction result for my property. Having previously used Walter for the purchase and sale of family properties, there was no other agent I considered. Wally’s knowledge of the local area was important, together with his suggestions for the marketing campaign. Wally and his team were professional, informative and friendly in their approach and he kept me advised at all times after inspections, or with queries from prospective purchasers. I am very happy to recommend Walter to any potential clients, whether they be vendors or purchasers.
The Product: Having decided to place our long held ‘in need of some TLC’ 1940’s Interwar Art Deco Duplex investment property on the market, we embarked upon a tight 4 week Auction Sales Campaign with Walter and his Sales Team. Throw into the mix an extensive makeover including kitchen, bathroom, timber sanding and polishing and painting throughout, inclusive of landscaping in the lead-up to the campaign, and it was always going to put everyone to the test! The Process: Working closely with Walter as lead Agent, we relied heavily upon his local marketing knowledge to focus on the preferred Buyer demographic in the run up to Christmas; mindful of a two year real estate correction, improving buyer sentiment and a shortage of stock across the sector. The Upshot: A very successful auction outcome on the day, not only meeting our reserve sale price, but exceeding our expectations with a +15% result! In summary, Right Product, Right Agent, Right Time… all achieved with open communication and trust across the board. Hocking Stuart Armadale, Walter & Co. are highly recommended where a flexible approach and comprehensive industry expertise is a prerequisite in order to achieve the best result in today’s dynamic market conditions.

Wally is great! He really knows the local market and he's out to look after his customers. There was no upselling, just really sensible advice on how to present the place for sale to get the best price and which advertising strategies to use. He could have pushed more expensive advertising but he told us exactly what was right for us and our circumstances. We had a great result and it's all down to Wally. On top of that he's a really good person. I am so glad I met him selling a unit near ours. We could not have found a better agent!
I've known Wally for a couple of years now, seeing him at many opens around the area while we've been looking to buy. He was so helpful while we were looking that when it was time to sell I knew Wally was the right choice. He guided us through the whole process and ran the auction perfectly on he day. Would highly recommend him.
Walters was full of energy and raring to go after our first meeting. Unlike other agents we found that he was happy to give us feedback on our property's current state and how we can maximise value by fixing things around the property that wouldn't take long. For example, some paint and smoothing of walls, repainting a different color on kitchen island and bathroom vanity, a new coat of paint on balcony barrier, etc etc. Most agent just want you to sign with them asap and take their commission. Walter doesn't like wasting your time and pushed us to get things done. We were always kept up-to-date with how the property is going and he was always just a phone call away. The end result was outstanding and we got more than we had hoped! Thanks Walters
Andrew and Walter handled our sale professionally and compassionately! Kept us up to date all the time and nothing was too much effort for them. They took care of everything and made our job easier. They know the area and the business and am so glad we had them looking after us.
My settlement completed today without any problems all handled by Walter while I was overseas . Walter advised on every aspect of preparing my property for sale from the styling to the right amount of investment in marketing to holding our nerve and heading to auction where he achieved a result above our expectations . Very grateful,Thankyou Vicki
