Josh, who commenced his real estate career in 1998 after completing his schooling has worked as an agent in London for three years and returned to Melbourne in 2004 to further his career. "The London scene gave me a different perspective but the principles of real estate are the same anywhere. It’s a matter of putting in the effort to achieve top results so that our clients are completely satisfied with the outcome of their sale."

Professional in every aspect of his working life, Josh believes honesty and integrity are the cornerstones of real estate sales. "The sale or purchase of property is one of the most significant events in people’s lives and they have every right to have high expectations of the agent."

Josh’s extensive knowledge of the local real estate market and record for consistently notching up sales and service awards put his clients at a distinct advantage. "I have lived and worked in the St Kilda area for many years and as a result I really understand the different layers of the area both in property terms and in terms of the diverse range of people who live here."

Josh believes Hodges’ commitment to state-of-the-art technology and staff training program are critical factors that set the company apart from its competitors. "Hodges’ brand is synonymous with bayside real estate and the group has a fine reputation for quality service and achieving top prices for vendors."

A keen AFL and English soccer fan, Josh divides his leisure hours between socialising, fishing, jogging and property investment.

One of the driving forces behind the establishment of the $2 Shop concept in Australia, Steven owned and operated 25 stores throughout Victoria prior to moving into real estate in St Kilda in 2004. "When I decided on a change of career direction I chose real estate for a number of reasons: the opportunity to meet people, the challenge of putting win/win deals together and, most importantly, to see smiles on vendors' faces." An easy-going and extroverted professional, Steven wins the respect of vendor and purchaser alike for his sensitivity to their respective needs. "Buying or selling a home or investment property is not without its share of emotion and stress, and I do whatever I can to make the process as straight-forward and smooth as possible. The winner of countless industry awards for sales achievement, Steven sums up his total commitment to real estate in the area he knows so well by saying, "I live, eat and breathe in St Kilda and St Kilda East." Steven values the strength of the Hodges' brand in Melbourne's bayside region and the respect in which the company is held. "With its reputation, service standards and record for achieving results which not only meet, but frequently exceed, vendor's expectations, it's hardly surprising Hodges is regarded as an industry leader in the region." A devout St Kilda Saints fan, Steven spends the majority of his leisure time with his two sons but manages to find time for a range of sporting activities.
