When David Picking gives his opinion of a property’s value it’s worth taking notice. Before joining Hocking Stuart Bentleigh
as a sales consultant, David worked for five years as a property valuer. “It was a fantastic grounding in the industry. The
difference with real estate is that it’s about the people as well as the property.” For David, putting his vendor at ease through the sales process is the most rewarding part of the job. “It can be a stressful time, so I try to make it as enjoyable as possible.”
David was born and raised in East Brighton, so he knows the area as only a local can. A keen golfer and member at Royal
Melbourne, David enjoys the easy access Bentleigh offers to golf courses and other facilities and says “it’s great being able
to get to whatever you want within twenty minutes drive.”
David is genuine and professional and finds that his colleagues at Hocking Stuart are of similar character. “We have exceptional staff — people who are the envy of other networks. That’s why Hocking Stuart offers the quality service that it does.”
