Client testimonials. “ Maria and her team made us feel confident.” 2 Kamiri Street, Seaforth Patrick and Maryam Our property had been listed for sale by another agent for nearly six months. During this time, we did not receive any offers close to what we were looking for. This somehow had damaged the reputation of our property. The previous agent had told us that on the current market it was “impossible” to sell even close to the price we needed. Eventually we decided to change the agent which somehow could have been a risky move. Maria and her team made us feel confident that they could do the job with satisfactory results. They restarted a new marketing campaign and from day one we could feel a fresh air and a very positive attitude. She has a whole range of amazing people of various professions that she works with and receives advice from including interior designers, home decorators and professional photographers. During the campaign we regularly received inspection reports with detailed feedback in the form of emails and phone calls. This way we could keep the track of how things were going. We finally achieved an outstanding result in less than 8 weeks! The overall experience was very pleasant and we feel that could not have chosen a better person and a team for the job.
“ Maria & Julian are professional, open and transparent.” 1/40A Grandview Grove, Seaforth Caress Andrews The last 12 months have been a difficult time for homeowners to sell their properties as expectations did not meet the reality of the market. Our home was originally marketed for sale in April 2018 just as the market turned downward. We had 3 offers but they either fell over or were declined and we decided to remove our property from the market. We decided to brave the market again after the Federal election in May and 2 weeks later contracts were exchanged. Over the last 12 months Maria & Julian kept in regular contact and were professional, open and transparent in their communications. We are now packed and ready to move.
“ Professionalism with grace and diligence.” 8a Sangrado Street, Seaforth Betty Li I chose to appoint Maria as my agent due to her outstanding proposal and evident experience. Throughout the entire process, she remained dedicated, driven and determined. Maria and her team at Stone ensured the campaign progressed smoothly at every stage while maintaining excellent communication through it all. I am very grateful for their guidance, expertise and tireless efforts that helped overcome unforeseen obstacles and achieve a pleasing result. Would strongly recommend Maria to any prospective seller!
“ We would highly recommend Maria and her team.” 84 Peacock Street, Seaforth Damian and Sonja Hendriks We would like to thank Maria, Julian & Team at Stone Real Estate Seaforth for the successful sale of our family home. Their experience and outstanding knowledge of Seaforth and surrounding area is second to none. They were understanding and professional throughout the whole campaign. Thinking of selling? Give Maria a call. We would highly recommend Maria and her team.
