We had an excellent experience with Louise. She made the whole process easy and stress-free, selling our house quickly and efficiently. Her knowledge of the local area and strong network of contacts really helped make the sale happen so seamlessly. Nothing was ever a problem and she consistently stepped us through the whole process. Communication was always clear and I found Louise genuinely friendly and transparent which played an important factor in choosing an agent and building our trust in her from the very first meeting. I couldn’t be happier with the service and result and happily recommend her to anyone.

Maria helped us make the move from Seaforth to North Balgowlah and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better agent to guide us through the process. From day one, she was incredibly open and honest, giving us clear advice and realistic expectations, which made a big decision feel far less overwhelming. Maria was always available, supportive and genuinely had our best interests at heart — no pressure, no sales talk, just thoughtful guidance and calm reassurance when we needed it most. She really took the time to understand what we were looking for in a new home. We’re so grateful for her professionalism, transparency and care, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Maria to anyone looking to buy on the Northern Beaches.

We had the pleasure of engaging Maria on the sale of our home in Newport- this is the 4th property Maria has sold for us. This time around we worked with Maria’s dream team- not only Lauren and Kirsty but Todd and felt supported by the entire extended team as well. What Maria has achieved for us has changed our lives. We’ve bought our dream home in the Gold Coast- a year ago it felt completely unattainable. We are pinching ourselves! Maria is the best agent you can deal with, but above being an agent she is one of the best people we have ever met. Her care, love and passion for what she does and her clients is evident in everything she says and does. We have no doubt that without her guidance and expertise we wouldn’t be where we are today. Maria is straight down the line and her honesty is not only refreshing but takes the stress out of the process as her confidence and ability shines through. Maria, thank you for what you have done for our family.

I had an excellent experience working with Chris throughout the entire purchasing process. His depth of knowledge was clear from day one, and he consistently took the time to explain every step in a way that was transparent, fair, and easy to understand. What I appreciated most was his open and approachable style — nothing ever felt rushed or unclear, and he always made sure both parties were on the same page. He handled everything with efficiency, professionalism, and genuine care, which made the experience exceptionally smooth. I very much enjoyed working with Chris and wish him all the best in the future. He is an outstanding real estate agent, and I would confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and highly capable professional.

After a long search to find a suitable property and dealing with many agents, Louise’s approach was extremely refreshing. She was very transparent with all communications and always prompt to respond to any questions we had, even after the sale, making a stressful process so much less daunting. Thanks Louise!

I feel so fortunate to have found Todd. He helped me navigate what some agents may have found to be a challenging deceased estate sale with complete professionalism, above and beyond, prompt communication, enthusiasm and a genuine and honest commitment to me as the vendor. I trusted his guidance, he was a gun and achieved a sale price that exceeded our expectations.

We engaged Maria and the team at Stone as they promised to partner with us throughout the process. They did exactly that and delivered us an incredible result. From day one they listened, advised and guided us on every aspect of the selling process. They helped with some renovations and every detail of presenting the house to achieve the best result possible. Communication was excellent and Maria’s deep knowledge of the market and buyers was evident at every meeting. Her team are also brilliant and everyone went above and beyond. If you are selling, speak to Maria and Stone. From there it will be an easy decision to engage them to work with you!

I had an outstanding experience working with Louise on the off-market sale of my home. Lou’s market knowledge was exceptional—she understood the area, the buyer demand, and the best strategy to achieve a strong result without ever needing to go to market . Lou’s communication throughout the process was flawless. I was kept informed at every stage, with clear explanations and timely updates that made the whole experience feel smooth and stress-free. No question was ever too small, or too much trouble. Lou handled every detail—viewings, negotiations and paperwork with complete care and confidence. I genuinely felt she had my best interests at heart, and we were delighted with the outcome achieved. It’s rare to find an agent who combines expertise, efficiency, and a personal touch. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Louise Ashdown to anyone looking to sell their home.

Selling our home in Seaforth was a big decision, and we couldn’t be happier that we trusted Maria, Lauren and the team at Stone Seaforth to handle it. From day one, their professionalism, communication and genuine care stood out. They guided us through every step with honesty and confidence, always made time for our questions, and ensured we felt supported throughout the entire campaign. Maria and Lauren's market knowledge was spot on, their strategy was clear, and their attention to detail made a huge difference. The whole Stone team were organized, responsive and consistently went above and beyond. The result they achieved exceeded our expectations, and the process felt smooth and stress-free from start to finish. We’re incredibly grateful for their hard work and couldn’t recommend Maria, Lauren and the Stone Real Estate team more highly to anyone looking to sell in the area.
