About us

At Stone, you’ll find we do things differently, smarter and more efficiently. We’re able to achieve great results, faster. With our up-to-the-minute database, we know where and who your current buyers are. We also look ‘further afield’ and find those outside your area with a view to moving in, resulting in more buyer competition and therefore increased sales prices.  Our greater insights lead to a smarter marketing campaign. Rather than a ‘blanket’ approach, we streamline it specifically to your target audience. We’re also able to tailor it as we go along based on our weekly buyer statistics. So rather than a lump-sum payment upfront, you only spend what’s essential – and what works – on your marketing campaign, saving you valuable money. With our wider network, sharper market-intelligence and aligned goals, our expert sales, marketing and customer-service teams work together to achieve the best result. We’re for prosperity across the board, and it’s why we do what we do, with transparency every step of the way. At Stone, our door’s always open.

5 Star rating for Stone Real Estate Seaforth

Honestly, I can’t rate the team at Stone Real Estate Seaforth highly enough. The standout for me is how they manage my property, it’s like they own it themselves. You rarely find agents who actually put the owner first and constantly think on your behalf, but these guys nailed it. I’m never left stressed or wondering what’s going on because they’re always one step ahead. It’s such a relief to have a team that treats your investment with the same care and urgency as you do. If you’re looking for someone in Seaforth who actually has your back, go with Stone. They’re legends!

Fast, efficient

Pre rent: Made my life easier by guiding me on the best approach to take to rent the product of my choice even with a short notice. Made it happened. Bit disappointed by the difference between what was expected to get once we get the keys and what we got. I guess it's the difference between a sales agent and a property manager. We had to spend a significant amount of money to put the property in the condition we expected to receive it and a lot of fixes occurred after we entered despite 3 weeks between signing the lease and our arrival. During the rental period: Very accessible, fast to respond and provide informations.
