From start to finish, Mario was professional, approachable, and committed find us the right home.

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing my next home through Mario Sanfrancesco at Blackshaw Manuka, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! From the very beginning, Mario was incredibly professional, approachable, and dedicated to ensuring I found the perfect property. He took the time to understand my needs and provided thoughtful advice throughout the entire process. What truly set Mario apart was his exceptional communication. He was always available to answer questions, offer updates, and guide me through the sometimes overwhelming process of buying a home. His knowledge of the local market is second to none, and I felt confident in every decision I made with his guidance. Additionally, Mario’s negotiation skills were top-notch. He worked tirelessly to ensure I got the best deal possible, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I truly felt that Mario was looking out for my best interests every step of the way. If you're in the market for a property, I would highly recommend reaching out to Mario Sanfrancesco at Blackshaw Manuka. His commitment, expertise, and customer-first attitude will make your experience an absolute pleasure! Thank you, Mario, for helping us find the perfect home!

Above and beyond!

Ahmad was fantastic to deal with at all stages of our house purchase process. He did an excellent job representing the interests of all parties in a fair and transparent way, and went above and beyond to ensure we settled on the agreed day. I would highly recommend him whether you are buying or selling.

Team Sanfrancesco's handling of the transaction was outstanding.

Mario and Fiona together and separately handled the transaction in a professional and thoughtful manner to achieve an outstanding result for both parties. I was extremely grateful that Mario was able to negotiate a sale prior to auction. Very happy in my new digs.

A fantastic agent who is fun, enthusiastic and professional!

We have had a wonderful experience working with Ahmad. Right from the word go, Ahmad has made us feel at ease and provided all the support we could ask for to remove the stress and make purchasing our new home both a fun and enjoyable experience. Ahmad has been available 24/7 to assist with our questions or help with anything we need. Ahmad is sincere and easy to talk to and his enthusiasm is infectious. In my opinion, he is first class, and I have no hesitation in recommending Ahmad to any prospective buyer or seller.

It was a pleasure to work with Gillian for the sale of my apartment. From the beginning she was professional and considered in her approach and communication was timely, clear and honest. The process was very easy and I always knew exactly what was happening throughout. I highly recommend her as an agent.

Five stars. That says it all really.

Christine worked tirelessly with us and with prospective buyers. Always mindful of our needs and aspirations, her diligence, experience and professionalism has come up with a result that is pleasing and satisfying to us. We were kept 'in the loop' at all times, our input always taken on board, and she has met all our expectations. Well Done Christine! And one has to say well done Blackshaws as well, because she has a great team working behind her.

“Canberra's best real estate agent“

“Canberra's best real estate agent“

Selling your home is stressful and filled with concerns, even at the best of times. Recently my partner and I engaged Ahmad from Blackshaw Manuka to help us through our selling journey and right from our first meeting we felt a huge amount of stress and worry disappear immediately. Ahmad’s enthusiasm and passion for his work are outweighed only by his knowledge of the industry and his commitment to making sure his clients feel comfortable and supported through all of their decisions. Ahmad will work day and night.. I’m not kidding, he will work 24 hours a day to get your property sold. This comes not from a desire to raise his sale statistics or to get his commission but because he truly cares for his clients and knows what an impact the buying/selling of a home has on someone’s life. Our experience with Ahmad was as positive and transparent as anyone could hope for when entrusting an agent to sell their home. I would gladly take the opportunity to speak to anyone considering Ahmad as their agent to ensure them of his unlimited potential.
