About Mario

Mario Sanfrancesco has nearly 30 years experience working in the Canberra real estate industry, and has been involved in thousands of successful property transactions throughout his career. He has been recognised as Canberra’s top agent by REB after being ranked 20th on Australia’s Top 100 Agents list, and also having won Real Estate Industry ACT (REIACT) Agent of the Year in Canberra. Mario has previously been a Principal of his own real estate business since the mid-1990s, and his passion, professionalism, knowledge and leadership resulted in it being awarded the (REIACT) Agency of the Year eight times. Mario has also won multiple awards in other categories throughout his real estate career. He regards his philosophy of always measuring customer satisfaction and implementing constant improvements as his driving force and the key to his success. He seeks to constantly improve not only his own skills, but to give greater training and focus to his colleagues. He has been a mentor to numerous real estate agents, and offices over the years including outside of Canberra, and those who have become very successful in their own right. Travelling extensively, Mario has sought out the very best real estate agents and business professionals in Australia and overseas to share skills and knowledge as part of his mission to demonstrate world best practice. Mario has developed close business relationships with many world class sales leaders and mentors including renowned Bob Bohlen, who is recognised as one of the most successful real estate agents in the world and was ranked as America’s number one agent. Mario is also a highly skilled auctioneer, and his polished techniques and friendly open style consistently achieves excellent results for his clients at auction. His abilities in this area have landed him numerous awards, including recognition as the Real Estate Institute’s ACT Auctioneer of the Year three times. For nearly 25 years Mario has also put his formidable skills to use for the good of society, running hundreds of charity auctions for a range of charities including the Starlight Children’s Foundation, Canberra Cancerians, Menslink, AFFIRM, Bossum Buddies, the Red Cross, South Care Helicopter, and RSPCA among many others. Mario gains enormous satisfaction from helping his clients achieve their real estate goals and loves nothing more than to see people move into their first home, just as much as seeing clients achieve successful results after selling their home of fifty years.

Team San Francesco is the difference maker - pre/during/post listing support is phenomenal

Team San Francesco is the difference maker - pre/during/post listing support is phenomenal

Team Sanfrancesco is very strong. As an overseas buyer, the on-ground support was phenomenal - supporting me with repairs, maintenance, organising trades and having the house dressed before listing. This level of support was like having extended family helping me, which I was extremely grateful for. Extremely professional, competent and honest throughout the campaign as well, ultimately culminating in a sale I was satisfied with in a very difficult market. Thank you Mario, Fiona and the extended team - I believe you have the best "book of buyers" for Yarralumla!

A trusted team delivering exceptional professionalism

Mario and Team Sanfrancesco provided confidence, trust, and empathy, guiding us through the sale process. Mario's decades of experience were invaluable in selling our house in a very challenging market. Fiona’s expertise and meticulous attention to detail in presenting our house for sale were outstanding. William, Kieran, and Clare provided excellent negotiating, communication, and business skills. Most importantly, they work very well as an integrated team.

Team Mario Sanfrancesco: Teamwork That Really Works!

Team Mario Sanfrancesco: Teamwork That Really Works!

We couldn't have asked for a better team to sell our home. Mario and William were outstanding from start to finish. They were professional, honest and always available, and they kept us informed at every stage of the campaign. Their advice was clear and realistic, and they handled the open homes and buyer negotiations with real skill. On auction day they were calm, sharp and completely in control, and we got a great result in current market. They made a stressful process feel manageable, and it was clear they cared about getting the best outcome for us. We'd recommend Mario, William and the whole team to anyone looking to sell. Thank you Team Mario Sanfrancesco !!

Great experience and a fantastic result

Great experience and a fantastic result

Mario and the whole team were great to deal with from start to finish. They had a really good understanding of the Canberra market and gave us honest advice about the property and the market conditions. Communication was excellent. They kept us updated regularly and did a great job communicating with potential buyers and keeping us informed about the feedback and interest in the property. The marketing campaign was also very well done and presented the property really well. Most importantly, we were very happy with the result, especially given it was one of the toughest markets. Mario and the team worked hard to achieve a great outcome for us. We were really happy with the whole experience and would definitely recommend Mario and his team.

Reputation as best in the business is deserved

Reputation as best in the business is deserved

We worked Team Sanfrancesco to sell our inner south Canberra property while resident in another state. Mario’s advice was straight to the point, ensured our price expectations were aligned with what was a less than favourable market, and on the day of our auction, secured us a price we feel was the best we could have achieved. Nothing was too much trouble for Fiona, who ensured that the house was presented to its best advantage and communicated with us regularly throughout the process of styling and marketing. Mario and Fiona are true professionals - we would be delighted to use their services again.
