After deciding it was time to sell my home I contacted Maria from Dowling Hamilton as I heard she was great. Little to my knowledge I was unaware that Maria would have this wrapped up in under a week. With an open house on the second day on the market and offers on the third, she strived to meet my desired outcome. Maria showed nothing but the best of the best when it came to selling my home with settlement within a month. All in all I can’t praise Maria enough for her commitment to providing the promise she advertises. 10/10 thank you Maria from Dowling.

Steve did a great job, he is a great communicator and he kept us up to date throughout the whole process. He achieved well over what we expected and couldn't be happier with the result.

On recommendation we entrusted the above sale to Steve. We could not be more happy with the way he has concluded the sale. He had been in regular contact since day one, His manner and professional attitude has been a credit to himself and your company.

Over the years I have seen the services of various estate agents in the Newcastle area. Some have left a lot to be desired in regards to their ethics, honesty and knowledge of the industry. Some have been referred to as cock roaches, and would sell their own mothers for a quick sale. In saying that, I have known Steve Dorman now for around 2 years. During that time I have always found Steve be very honest, reliable and fully represents his clients to the maximum. Steve is a man that puts the trust back into real estate. When it comes to selling or buying, I would not hesitate in referring my friends to this genuine man. The price he obtained for our recent property was well above the asking price. Well done Steve.

We found Steve professional and forthright in advise with preparation for sale of our house and his local market knowledge was spot on. Steve did all the hard yards and made it an easier process than we expected.

We are so grateful to how thoughtful and sensitive Maria was during this time. Maria gave realistic advice on price and when a buyer was offering money, told us what she thought but left it all up to us. We think she is brilliant and highly recommend her. Thanks Maria, you are amazing.

I first met Maria 17 years ago when I first purchased No.8. I had a call from her probably 3 years ago to see how I was and 12 months ago I rang Maria as I had decided it was time to sell .I spoke with her brother Joe as she was on leave but she did contact me while she was away.Over the last 12 months Maria has gone above and beyond anything I would have expected from an Estate agent.She has nursed me along ,given me all the time I need until I was happy that my house was ready for the market, pushed me gently whenI needed it and rolled up her sleeves and pitched in to help when I thought it was all too much. Her knowledge of the market is second to none and I trusted her judgement and my house sold during the first and only open house for $40,000.00more than the predicted price. I'd trust Maria and the Dowling property Group implicitly and would have no hesitation in recommending Maria to anyone thinking of selling.

This is the second house Steve has sold for me. One sale when the market was hot and one sale when the market was flat. Steve is a good honest communicator who knows the market well. He gave me appraisals based on the market conditions. Both beyond my expectations. But more importantly he delivered on both occasions.

Steve is a great guy to deal with, Very genuine and honest. He’s available 24/7 to help you and In my experience always achieves a great result. I’ve engaged him on a number of occasions. This is the kind professional you need to deal with for your real estate transactions. He also cooks a great steak and is great at singing INXS, ask him to sing a few bars when you meet him

I am so thankful that a very good friend recommended Steve to us, having never sold a house before I was aware of all the nightmare stories and knew that getting the right agent was key. Steve was positive, informative and easy to get along with from the moment we met. The process of selling our house really wasn't too stressful & I believe that it is in part because of Steve's expertise, wise guidance and his excellent communication skills. Our house sold in 2 weeks and we got an excellent price in these Covid19 uncertain times - an awesome outcome!

Very happy that we went with Maria to sell our house. From putting the house on the market to making the sale, she emphasised that she would not want us to sign or agree for a price that we weren’t happy with. She is very patient, understanding and easy to communicate with. She would ring right after every opening to give us an update, always stayed in touch with us to keep us informed. She has great knowledge about housing market, attention to detail, a can-do attitude and above all a passion to excel in what she does. Thank you so much Marie, you made our experience enjoyable rather than an anxious wait!
