My husband and I have been dealing with Hockeys since about 1998. They looked after our accommodation requirements and now since the office has moved closer to North Sydney Colin Hockey is looking after our rental.
Hockeys have been managing my rental property for at least 20 years:
- promptly informing me of all relevant matters relating to the property,
- efficiently evaluating and advising of options for any major maintenance, changes and developments,
- monitoring of any works carried out at the property and reporting of progress,
- advising changes to relevant Government Laws and regulations and implications for the property,
- reporting fortnightly on financial status,
This enables me to give my attention to other matters knowing that my investment is properly managed.
Have been with Hockeys for a very long time and the team have always had my best interests at heart. They know how to keep a client happy so what more can one say.
Great service. Karl answered all my queries about the suburbs I’m interested in and their trends. I highly recommend Karl and his team for properties consultations and services.

The team at Hockey’s have been fantastic to deal with. As a first time landlord, the team, in particular Karl, Mitch and Lousie have addressed all my questions, guided me through the a-z of leasing my property and found a tenant in a short period of time. I look forward to working with them into the future and highly recommend their services.
I purchased my apartment through Hockeys years ago, and I did not hesitate to go to them again when it came to renting my investment property. Karl and the team at Hockeys have been exceptionally professional and very responsive to my needs. Highly recommended
I was particularly impressed, at first, by the friendly and co-operative staff, no trouble to answer questions clearly and precisely and their knowledge of the subject.for which I was enquiring , relating to the building., no pressure detected.
As I enquired further, Karl Hockey and salesperson Emma, were patient, tolerant, understanding and helpful in my process of buying an apartment, which I have not experienced at other purchases.
I express my highest recommendation for the overall satisfaction of having dealings with this Company ..
Unlike most real estate agents I've come across, Karl and his team seem to genuinely care about both the buyer and the seller. For a transaction that means so much for all parties, this is extremely important to me. I look forward to working with the Hockeys team again in the future for our next home!
Karl was a great help in securing my apartment. Even when there was difficulties with the exchange of contract Karl kept me informed and up to date on any developments.
Karl and the Hockeys real estate team demonstrated exceptional communication, informed market appreciation and industry leading professional service. Karl's honest and personable approach gave us great comfort in knowing that the management and sale of our Neutral Bay property was acted upon in our best interest. We would not hesitate in recommending Karl or the Hockeys real estate team to facilitate a sale or undertake property management.
Karl conducted most of his negotiations with my son on the sale of our Neutral Bay property and I was not so directly involved with his marketing and execution of the sale. It was my impression however that Karl was very energetic and efficient in managing the renovations on the property and communicated with us frequently. He was very approachable and I would recommend him to future customers in the property market. Good luck Karl!
I would recommend Karl as a young and vibrant agent, whose energy and enthusiasm are an asset to Hockey Real Estate. It was a pleasure to deal with Karl and can say with certainty that others will benefit from his expertise.
I am very happy with the service provided by Karl Hockey. Very professional , genuine and friendly. I appreciate the positive experience I had with purchasing my property. Definitely can recommend Karl to other buyers.
I am a solicitor and so have had a significant amount of contact with real estate agents over the years - I was especially impressed with Karl Hockey and his experienced team when looking for and acquiring a property recently. Karl was always quick and always open when responding to my requests and had all the relevant facts concerning areas, prices and rentals immediately available. Karl would always make himself available to answer enquiries or to show properties or to assist in the process when dealing with valuers, etc. My recommendation extends to the ongoing situation of the rental of the property - I have found Karl and his rental team to be equally efficient in dealing with rental issues and liaising with the tenants and certainly as to the financial accounting side of the rental.
I have no hesitation in recommending Karl as an excellent real estate agent in all aspects of that profession and would equally have no hesitation in utilising his services again of a sale, purchase or other rental. Michael Sainsbury
Karl was very responsive and informative with whatever questions were asked whilst in person or through email. I have no hesitation in recommending Karl. Thank you Karl.
Karl is dedicated to his role and provides exceptional customer service while delivering honest, pragmatic and motivational business ethic.
Karl Hockey has been the most honest and professional agent that I have dealt with. He has not only always been available when I need him when leasing, selling and purchasing properties, but has also managed to break a record in my building leasing my property at above market rent, by helping us present our property well and highlighting all the properties features well.
He does what he says he will do. He does it on time and takes the extra time to do it well and honestly.
He is an asset and apart of my team when dealing with real estate.
If you are looking for someone, look no further. You will not be disappointed. Thanks Karl.

Have purchased through Karl and had many interactions with Hockeys building management and would definitely recommend Hockeys
From the beginning Karl gave us great service. From the marketing plan and photos (two sessions) to the sale process and on the day of auction. Karl was energetic, possessed a meticulous eye for detail and worked tirelessly to help us throughout the marketing. We are really happy with the result that Karl and the Hockey team delivered!
We can't speak highly enough of Karl and the team at Hockeys. From the market appraisal to advice on how to present the house, securing trades at short notice and his excellent communication, it has all been first class. His superior marketing skills and high level negotiating ability resulted in a sale prior to auction that was well above our expectations. As vendors we looked to Karl as a subject matter expert and we were not disappointed. To potential vendors, listen and act on the advice from Hockeys and you won't go wrong. I look forward to working with Karl in the future and we highly recommend him.
I used Karl as he has a high record of sales in St Leonards. I was hesitant with spending a lot on property styling, however after getting some advice from Karl it helped me understand the property was very unique and it needed furniture for inspections. Karl guided me through it every step of the way and in turn it was a fantastic investment as not only did it look great but I sold my apartment for so much more than what I expected. He was in constant communication with me, and if i needed to call him at night or on the weekends he always took the time to chat and offer me help and advice. I was very happy with the result and glad I chose Karl.
Excellent Job!

We chose Karl and Louise to sell our property because of their knowledge of the area. We are also had recommendations from our neighbours that's just sold through them. Having Louise Marshall as a part of his team, makes them a dynamic duo.
Karl was a great pleasure to work with, for the second time. We purchased our property from Karl and it was a no brainer that he would be selling our property too. Karl’s knowledge of the area and what was going on in the market at the time was a great tool for us. Karl kept us up to date on progress with viewings, contracts of sale, other documents required during the sales process and when people showed no interest. We would thoroughly recommend Karl and the entire Hockeys team to anyone looking to sell their property in the St Leonards area.
