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.

Maria and her team are exceptional

Maria answered her phone to me while on holidays and set me up with her team to help me out. The whole team at Stone are amazing, punctual, responsive, and really know what they are doing. I would have full confidence in their ability to sell your house for the best price you could hope to get. They make the whole process seamless and stress free.

Exceptional Transparency and Perseverance

Selling your home is stressful, especially when it is your most valuable asset, but working with Chris made all the difference. From day one, Chris stood out for his refreshing transparency and no-nonsense approach. There were no inflated promises or sugar-coated updates. Instead, he provided honest, truthful communication every step of the way. You always knew where you stood, which is exactly what you need when you are making major financial decisions. What truly sets Chris apart is his perseverance. We hit a few unexpected setbacks along the way, but Chris never lost momentum. He rolled up his sleeves, navigated the hurdles with absolute professionalism, and kept pushing forward until he found the right buyer for our property. If you are looking for an agent who is straight-shooting, hardworking, and genuinely dedicated to getting the job done right, I would highly recommend Chris. Thank you for everything!

Sold in 23 days!

We recently sold our home with Maria and Lauren and couldn't be happier with our decision. They sold our property in just 23 days, an incredible result especially given how tricky the market conditions were at the time. What really stood out was how personally invested they were in the process. From day one, it felt like they genuinely cared about us and our home, not just the transaction. They took a huge amount of stress off our plate by managing all the tradespeople and preparation work, which made the whole experience so much smoother. Their professionalism, warmth, and hands-on approach made all the difference, and we'd happily recommend them to anyone looking to sell. Thank you both for everything!
