5× RateMyAgent Agent of the Year – Forster-Tuncurry

2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2025 | 2026

When you're selling your home, the agent you choose can make a significant difference.

I'm David Hochkins, Sales Manager and Licensed Real Estate Specialist with Pacific Coast Property Network, specialising in property sales throughout Forster, Tuncurry and the surrounding region.

I have been recognised as RateMyAgent Agent of the Year for Forster-Tuncurry five times – 2021, 2022, 2023, 2025 and 2026. That recognition is particularly meaningful because it is based on the experiences and feedback of real clients. I currently have over 450 verified RateMyAgent reviews and a 4.9-star rating.

For me, great real estate is about more than advertising a property. It is about understanding the market, developing the right strategy, communicating honestly and negotiating strongly on behalf of my clients.

Every property is different, and every vendor has different goals. I take the time to understand both before developing a campaign designed to position the property correctly, maximise exposure and attract the buyers most likely to create genuine competition.

My marketing strategy combines professional presentation, digital and social media marketing, extensive buyer database exposure, proactive buyer engagement and consistent follow-up. I believe the strongest campaigns don't simply generate enquiries – they create competition and give the vendor a stronger position when it comes time to negotiate.

I remain hands-on throughout the entire process, from the initial appraisal and campaign launch through to negotiations, exchange and settlement. My clients can expect straight advice, regular communication, attention to detail and a commitment to seeing the process through.

As a long-term local resident and active member of the local community and sporting groups, I have an intimate knowledge of Forster, Tuncurry and the surrounding areas. I understand the character of the different local pockets, what attracts buyers to them and how to showcase the lifestyle that makes this region such a desirable place to live.

I also hold a Diploma in Agency Management, combining formal industry knowledge with practical experience in property sales and negotiation.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy surfing, sport, cooking, exploring our waterways and beaches, and spending time with my wife and four children.

Whether you're selling a family home, unit, investment property, land or lifestyle property, my objective is straightforward: provide honest advice, create the right strategy, maximise buyer interest and negotiate the best possible outcome.

If you're considering selling in Forster, Tuncurry or the surrounding area, I'd welcome the opportunity to meet with you, provide an honest appraisal and explain how I would approach the sale of your property.
