Maria helped us purchase in Seaforth recently. We found her approach transparent, professional and we appreciated her ability to navigate a timely negotiation. Since purchasing, Maria has faciltiated several post purchase inspections ourselves and our builder and this has made our planned renovations on settlement so much easier to co-ordinate.

Maria Cassarino’s professionalism, excellent communication and local knowledge made all the difference in selling our much-loved home of 10+ years recently. What we could see in Maria from our first meeting was her passion - for homes, for gauging market conditions, for marketing and campaign timing, for match-making vendors and buyers, and doing it conscientiously, tenaciously and with integrity at all times. Maria was by our side every step of the way and was well-supported by her very friendly, highly capable and professional colleagues at the Stone Real Estate office in Seaforth. Any challenge - Maria and her team had a solution. Maria's marketing machinery was sophisticated, cost effective and laser-targeted - ensuring super busy open inspections every week, with the right potential buyers seeing our home during what was a relatively short campaign. We were delighted with the result. And we now wholeheartedly recommend Maria and her team to anyone looking to sell. BB & CB, Balgowlah

The last 12 months has been a difficult time for home owners to sell their properties as expectations did not meet the reality of the market. Our home was originally marketed for sale in April 2018 just as the market turned downward. We had 3 offers but they either fell over or were declined and we decided to remove our property from the market. We decided to brave the market again after the Federal election in May and 2 weeks later contracts were exchanged. Over the last 12 months Maria & Julian kept in regular contact and were professional, open and transparent in their communications. We are now packed and ready to move.

Louise was amazing from start to finish in helping us to buy our property in the Northern Beaches. She was thorough, helpful and extremely professional throughout the whole process. We especially liked the personal touches that she made along the way and made this experience an extremely positive one. We recommend Louise to anyone looking for property in the Northern Beaches!

I chose to appoint Maria as my agent due to her outstanding proposal and evident experience. Throughout the entire process, she remained dedicated, driven and determined. Maria and her team at Stone ensured the campaign progressed smoothly at every stage, while maintaining excellent communication through it all. I am very grateful for their guidance, expertise and tireless efforts that helped overcome unforeseen obstacles and achieve a pleasing result. Would strongly recommend Maria to any prospective seller!

From the moment we first met Louise, we knew that we would be in very capable hands throughout this whole process. Louise took us through the steps all the way in a very calm and professional manner. From getting the house ready for the open days, recommending window cleaners and handymen, to the actual sale, Louise was always thorough and followed up with us on a daily basis. It was obvious that she only wanted the best for us. All resulting in an excellent sale. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Louise to anyone looking to sell. And she is so NICE!

We are very happy with the personal service and attention to detail which both Julian and Maria demonstrated in a friendly and professional manner throughout the purchase process of our townhouse in Grandview Grove.

Our property had been listed for sale by another agent for nearly six months. During this time, we did not receive any offers close to what we were looking for. This somehow had damaged the reputation of our property. The previous agent had told us that on the current market it was " impossible" to sell even close to the price we needed. Eventually we decided to change the agent which somehow could have been a risky move. Maria and her team made us feel confident that they could do the job with satisfactory results. They restarted a new marketing campaign and from day one we could feel a fresh air and a very positive attitude. She has a whole range of amazing people of various professions that she works with and receives advice from including interior designers, home decorators and professional photographers. During the campaign we regularly received inspection reports with detailed feedback in the form of emails and phone calls. This way we could keep the track of how things were going. We finally achieved an outstanding result in less than 8 weeks! The overall experience was very pleasant, and we feel that could not have chosen a better person and a team for the job.

As the selling agent on a property we knew and loved, we made contact with Chris within a day of the house being listed. He supported us through the long sale process on our house in the Inner West and kept us up to date constantly with developments with on the site we were keen to buy. His communication and genuine care was outstanding and I never doubted his authenticity in the advice he gave us along the way, or the way he represented the owners. Chris also went over and above to assist the 'senior' owners throughout the process including overseeing their potential purchase. After a marathon 3 months in the tough market conditions, we sold and were able to exchange on our purchase at a price we were comfortable with. Chris and Louise helped us through a myriad of sale complexities (including 3 simulatanous transactions) and after the sold sign went up they stepped it up even more providing the practical advice and support we needed to sort the logistics of settling our young family in this new part of town. I can't recommend Chris (and Louise) highly enough and am looking forward to having a drink with them when we finally arrive!!

We recently made the decision to move from the Inner West to the Northern Beaches and dealt with Louise (and Chris) for an extended period through the sale of our home and purchase of our new property in Manly Vale. Both properties were on the market at the same time for some months and Louise was supportive, enthusiastic and helpful at all times and extremely patient in waiting for us to sell first. As we were purchasing from older owners I was particularly impressed by the over and above attention and service that Louise gave her clients to help make the transaction as smooth as possible. This high level of care has extended to helping me with local advice which we desperately need as we move our children to this new suburb over the coming months. I am so very grateful to have had Louise as the selling agent and for all the support she has given us as buyers. Amazing service, a lovely person and a genuine care for her clients. Highly Recommended

Maria was the agent on our house purchase. She gave us practical advice on how to make the dream house hours and got the deal done quickly.

Maria and the team provided exceptional service, information and advice throughout the campaign. The reporting was terrific. Stone got the best result we could have expected.
