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.

Excellent Communicator

Louise was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our home purchase. She was an excellent communicator, kept us informed every step of the way, and always followed up promptly on any questions or requests. What really stood out was how genuine and approachable she was—nothing ever felt forced or transactional. Louise made what can be a stressful process feel smooth and well managed. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.

For over 20years Nathan earned our trust through unwavering dedication, professionalism and results.

We couldn’t recommend Nathan Tse more highly. Nathan has just sold our parent’s home. He has been our real estate agent for over 20 years, successfully selling every property we’ve entrusted to him. What sets Nathan apart is his unwavering commitment and determination. He simply never gives up until the job is done. No matter the challenges, he remains positive, professional, and focused on achieving the best possible outcome. He consistently goes above and beyond for his clients and always makes you feel like you’re his top priority. Nathan is honest, hardworking, knowledgeable, and an exceptional communicator. Throughout every sale, he has kept us informed, provided sound advice, and worked tirelessly to secure the best result. His integrity and genuine care for his clients are second to none. After more than two decades of working with Nathan, we wouldn’t trust anyone else with our property. We are incredibly grateful for everything he has done for our family over the years and cannot thank him enough. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is experienced, dedicated, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in achieving the best outcome for you, Nathan Tse is the person to call. We highly recommend him without hesitation. Thank you so very much Nathan, Monique and Frank

The conditions-built frustration and concern in us as Sellers but with Maria's market knowledge and integrity this assisted us through a turbulent market and through to a final exchange. Maria leads a mature and professional team that bring humility and integrity. As a result we know we made the right choice and one that gave us the best possible result. Thanks again to the whole team at Stone and we would not hesitate in recommending. The numbers speak for themselves, but we got to see the why behind them.
