Sam Rigopoulos

There are two things that Sam Rigopoulos, the director of hockingstuart Northcote, loves most about his business: auctions and negotiations. "I love closing sales and obtaining results that are greater than my client's expectations. It's the best part of my job," he says.

Born and raised in Northcote, with a family connection stemming back three generations, Sam has a wealth of specialist local knowledge to draw from that can only benefit your negotiation. There is no better way to capitalise on sales opportunities than collaborating with a real estate professional with local expertise.

Sam enjoys living in Northcote because it offers the best to both families and single residents. "The larger blocks, quiet streets, transport, schools and parks are great for families, but it's still very hip, with cafes, bars and restaurants at your doorstep." When he gets some time away from the office, Sam likes to spend it fishing, camping and playing golf.
