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 and negotiator

We recently purchased our new home through Chris and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, honest and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Buying a home can be stressful, but Chris made everything feel seamless and straightforward. Their communication was excellent, they were always available to answer questions, and we truly felt looked after every step of the way. What stood out most was their warmth, integrity and genuine care. We never felt pressured and always felt confident that we were in good hands. Their knowledge of the market and attention to detail made the whole experience a very positive one. We are absolutely thrilled with our new home and very grateful for all their help. We would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to buy or sell property.

Was great working with Chris to buy my flat

Chris is super reliable, efficient, trustworthy and was an absolute pleasure to work with to buy my flat. He kept me fully informed and updated, both before and during the purchase process. He's easy to work with and was fair with all parties. He made what could have been a stressful experience feel surprisingly chill and I was totally happy with the end result. 100% recommend Chris for a wonderful property experience.

Louise is empathetic, responsive and deeply invested in achieving the best result for her client

Louise has been a personal cheer-squad over the past 8 months in my quest for finding my new home and achieving for me an off-market sale of my own apartment in record time and with a block and suburb record to boot! I first met Lou at an open inspection for a neighbour's apartment. At that stage, I'd been looking at various properties for 9 months, but none had ticked all the boxes to make a change worthwhile. I immediately warmed to her straightforward approach, specific market knowledge of the value of the apartment complex where I owned, and her warm personality. Due to work pressures, we agreed to have a forward plan in place regarding any styling, repairs etc as my personal strategy was to buy first, once I found the right apartment, and then swiftly put my own place up for sale. Without overstepping, Lou would regularly check in to see how I was going with my Saturday viewings, feed back with any intel on any places of interest and how the market was performing. She guided me through some strategies about how to frame my offer once I finally found The One. My offer for the new buy was accepted on a Monday; on Wednesday, she had shown through 3 groups off market, and by the following Thursday, my apartment was sold - block and suburb record - a remarkably stress-free process. I've very much enjoyed working with Lou and would highly recommend her.

Transparent clear communicator with extensive local knowledge.

We had the pleasure of dealing with Louise Ashdown on the recent sale of our property. As this was a beloved family home, we appreciated her sensitivity and respect she showed to not only us but to our home throughout the campaign. Because of her extensive knowledge of the local area and prompt and transparent communication, she made the entire process less daunting. We are extremely grateful for her guidance and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any prospective vendors.

Made the right choice, very happy to recommend..............

Selling my apartment began with choosing an agent to work with, which wasn't easy as I had four on my 'short list'. Chris made the whole process easy, which was important as I'm living about three hours away from Sydney. I made the judgment that Chris's professed exemplary marketing & negotiating skills would be critical, & I'm sure that this proved to be the case, as the market was getting "difficult" due to interest rates rising and a hotting-up war unsettling everyone. I am very happy with the price I ended up getting and would have no hesitation in recommending Chris and his team to my closest friends. Thanks again Chris, Robert Stewart

Amazing Advice, Servic

From start to finish, the experience with Maria, Lauren, Alicia and Kirsty at Stone Seaforth was nothing short of exceptional. Their level of service, guidance, and advice throughout the entire process was truly outstanding. Every detail was handled with care, precision, and absolute professionalism. What stood out most was how seamlessly they managed everything behind the scenes. The entire journey felt effortless on my end, which is a direct reflection of their organisation, communication, and deep understanding of the market. At every stage, I felt informed, supported, and confident in the decisions being made. They set a benchmark for what real estate service should look like. Their commitment to delivering the best possible outcome is evident in everything they do. I am extremely pleased with the result and would highly recommend Maria Cassarino, Lauren, and the amazing team at Stone Seaforth to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and genuinely first class real estate experience.
