Your professional approach was my deciding factor in choosing to use Greg Hocking Real Estate as my managing agent. You were very prompt and organised at our first meeting. You were able to answer all my queries and I felt very comfortable. I have and will continue to recommend you to anyone looking for a professional and experienced agent.
Both Kate and myself have found the service provided by Greg Hocking Real Estate to be exceptional thus far, the courteous calls, emails and responses to our requests have certainly demonstrated the high quality of service provided by Greg Hocking Real Estate.
Greg Hocking always makes it a point to check on my tenants and provides guidance on when rental increments are appropriate. As a result they are able to anticipate the likelihood of a tenant leaving and organises a new tenant as soon as possible. This certainly saves me from potential loss of rental income!
I am extremely happy with the way you handled the leasing of my property. Within one week of meeting you, you successfully placed a tenant in the house. I could not believe that my house was snapped up in one week, after only one open house inspection.
I have recommended Greg Hocking Real Estate to my family for the management of their rental properties and they too are extremely satisfied.
I just wanted to say thank you for the way you have managed my unit for the past six months.It was great peace of mind knowing I had someone with so much experience and knowledge looking after it.
If ever I have another investment property I will be sure to call upon you again and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to any other landlords.
