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.

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.

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

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.

We had been dithering about moving or renovating for some time and had allowed the property to become a little run down. Maria was born and bred in Seaforth-in the very street where we had lived for 27 years. I already knew her slightly and had been keeping an eye on sales in our area. Once we decided it was time to move on we didn't hesitate to call her and ask advice on how to proceed. She and Lauren came, saw and conferred. Returning with a well thought out plan of action, details of tradies and improvements we never knew we needed. Some remedial works were clearly necessary, and though we were initially reluctant to take on one or two cosmetic/utilitarian changes we did accept all their suggestions. Our only regrets are that we didn't accept and proceed more quickly. Maria reported back to us after every inspection, including multiple private occasions. We were fully informed and consulted about the selling process at all times. She said 'Call me anytime' and she meant it. We found the whole team ​at Stone Seaforth to be friendly, efficient and totally professional throughout our whole working relationship. They were generous with their time, to the extent that, as things proceeded, we all felt like family. We are most ​g​rateful to them, and cannot recommend them highly enough.

I can’t speak highly enough of Maria, Lauren and the team from Stone Real Estate Seaforth. From our very first meeting, they made me feel completely comfortable and confident in the process. Selling a home can be stressful, but their calm, professional approach and constant communication made it so much easier than I expected. They went above and beyond at every stage, showing genuine care and dedication. Their knowledge of the market and strategic approach really paid off — my home was sold in just 10 days from the first open house, which exceeded all my expectations. What truly stood out was how supported I felt throughout the entire journey. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and I always felt like I was in safe, capable hands. I am incredibly grateful for the result they achieved and would wholeheartedly recommend Maria and Lauren to anyone looking to sell their home. Dianne – Vendor 5 Aden Street, Seaforth

Louise quickly built a strong level of rapport, trust, and confidence by genuinely listening to our needs, accurately pricing the property (with clear rationale and supporting examples), and responding promptly to every question or request. Her key strengths are her responsiveness and deep knowledge of the market and buyers. Louise was always accessible—whether by phone, text, or in person—and consistently made herself available whenever we needed her. She demonstrated a solid understanding of the market, reflected in both the price range she recommended and the final sale result. Equally impressive was her insight into buyers—she was able to identify genuine interest, assess financial capacity, and provide detailed post-inspection updates. She always knew exactly where each potential buyer stood, which gave us great confidence throughout the process. On top of her professionalism, Louise is incredibly friendly and helpful, making what can be a stressful experience feel much more manageable. Matthew Barnes
