I have performed istikhaara and I'm happy but I just want to know about getting advice from Hakims or Maulanas, and I'm not sure how they ascertain whether a prospective girl is good or not.

Answer
If you consulted with your seniors and also made Istikhaara and you are happy and satisfied with your decision, then that is sufficient. There is no need to refer the decision to a Haakim or Moulana.
