31 Hardinge Street, Beaumaris, Vic 3193

What the vendor said about Craig Cox: "When put into the position where the sale of my mother’s house was necessary, the first real estate agency I contacted was Hodges at the Concourse in Beaumaris.  Hodges had sent a letter to my mother in the preceding months regarding interest she had shown from time to time in selling her home.  I had kept this letter as I realized the property would need to be sold so for me Hodges was the logical starting point in this process.

From the first phone call with Craig Cox through to the final contact regarding settlement, I was more than satisfied with the working relationship which was established with Craig.   After the initial phone call, Craig met us at the property on a wet day in August.  He was very positive about the property and gave us a thorough run-down of the pros and cons of a private sale versus an auction, as well as the costs involved and a possible timeline.  Craig’s knowledge of the property market in general and Beaumaris, in particular, and his familiarity with the area, were excellent. Though we had a lot to think about, I felt from the outset that  we would get the best outcome through engaging Craig and Hodges. 

When the decision was made by the family to sign with Hodges, the whole process of preparation for sale, presentation of the property for inspection and the auction in October, was carried out smoothly and very professionally.  Whether talking to Craig over the phone or by email I was always impressed by his calm, friendly and professional manner. 

The day of the auction was an emotionally-charged and tense day for all of us and, once again, Craig’s conduct and support on the day was faultless.   We were particularly impressed with his running of the auction.The sale of a long term family home is not a happy occasion.  My feeling was that Craig understood the emotions and problems that this situation give rise to.  He always listened to our input and respected our need to take time with some decisions.  We were pleased with the result of the auction and the after sales service provided by Hodges.  If I lived in the area and wanted any real estate advice or service, I would call Craig without hesitation."
