We were in a time-pressured situation and Maria responded well to this and was able to communicate with the vendors and respond quickly. Maria was accurate and honest in her dealings with us.

Louise worked tirelessly to facilitate purchase in under 48 hrs. This included two inspections and a building and pest inspection.

From day 1 we were impressed with Louise’s professional attitude, honesty and integrity. Louise kept us up to date with recent sales in the area and made the process of selling our home so much easier than we imagined it would be. She was always available to talk and answer all our questions. We spent time fixing our house up prior to sale and Louise had all the right trade contacts that turned up at the right time for us to have the house ready for sale. We are thrilled with the result and so happy that we chose Louise from Stone Real Estate as our agent. The team at Stone Seaforth were fantastic too. We wouldn’t hesitate in choosing Louise again. We highly recommend real estate agent Louise Ashdown.

This was a challenging campaign. We entered the market off the back of a very buoyant 3-4 weeks of house sales in Sydney. Maria and her team did a terrific job getting the campaign up and running in a short period of time and the marketing collateral and photos were superb. The first open house was a thorough success with plenty of interest generated - then came the lockdown and ban on open houses. Without doubt the pandemic saw the rise of the opportunists and Maria did a good job of sorting out the realistic and motivated buyers who were genuinely looking for a place to call home. I've always felt anyone can sell a house in Sydney when the market is hot and, to date, there hasn't been a book written on selling a house in a global pandemic (or not that I know of anyway) and this was always going to be a real test for Maria and her team - and for the real estate industry in general. This was never going to be a "present the house and let the games begin" type of campaign. The market went from "hot" to "not". This is when you need an agent with a level head - for the vendor and the buyer. Maria was this agent. We have purchased and sold a lot of houses and I'm wary of making comparisons to past campaigns as the selling environment was unprecedented. Ultimately, Maria and her team got the job done despite the challenges presented by COVID 19. They say never go to sea with a fair weather sailor - you just don't know what conditions you may sail into. The same can be said of a real estate campaign. To this end, if you want an agent who can perform in all market conditions - Maria is your agent.

Maria and her team are so dedicated and committed, you know your property is in the best hands. She goes above and beyond, is honest, reliable and always gets back to you. She really understands the market, and is the gold standard in real estate.

I recently bought a house from Stone RE. I found Maria and the team to be highly professional, very responsive even late at night, straight forward and easy to deal with with flexible opens despite Covid! It was a pretty streamlined experience thanks to Maria.

We had a great experience selling our home with Louise. She has a great understanding of the North Balgowlah market and was patient and held our hands as we anxiously sold during COVID19. What I most appreciated was the service we received right through the process- from when we inquired about values in our area 2.5 years ago right through to our delayed settlement (6 months after exchange). She was constantly in contact and I never felt like my inquires were a nuisance! Highly recommended

Chris helped me and my daughter to get a new home we didn't really think we would be able to. He was alert and moved fast and always kept me updated on the progress.

Maria recently sold us our first family home. We loved her professional and honest approach which was so helpful to us in securing the home after narrowly missing out on a number properties with other agencies / agents who were not so transparent. We also loved how available and contactable she was, particularly for any questions we had post purchase. It’s nice and rare when an agent answers your call first go! Many thanks to Maria and the Seaforth Stone Real Estate Team, you made our first home purchase very seem very easy.

Maria was fantastic! She gave us well considered advice throughout the process and demonstrated her expert knowledge of the industry and the current state of the market at every stage. Maria is responsive, communicative and highly professional and we recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home, particularly in or around the Seaforth area.
