I would like to thank Mario and his team for managing the selling our father's property in the most professional, personal and efficient manner which resulted in its sale in May this year. Blackshaw's dealt with difficult situations in a kind and respective manner which made us feel confident of a positive final outcome. Mario provided very honest and factual feedback on how best to get the property to market as well as what interest the market showed during the marketing campaign. He conducted the auction with poise and humour and his extensive experience as an auctioneer was displayed when he skillfully engaged the bidders to a final selling price that we were delighted with. Thank you again Mario and your team, we are so glad we trusted our 45 year old family home in your capable hands.

From the moment we decided to sell, the only agent we were interested in working with was Mario and the Blackshaw Manuka team, together we came up with the winning strategy to get the house presented at its best for sale that suited us both. This included timing the property to hit market, any additional works required to maximise presentation, staging advice and Mario even controlled the weather on Auction Day. We couldn't be happier with the result and will recommend Mario to anyone selling in Canberra.

We had interactions with Mario as an agent for quite sometime, attending numerous inspections as a buyer and when it came time to sell, he was our ultimate choice. He brings a wealth of experience and expertise in dealing with varying market conditions unlike many other agents who have only had recent successes in a busy market. Of importance for us, although he has clearly proven his ability to achieve great results, he is just lovely to deal with and lacks the sense of arrogance and chauvinism that some other agents possess. With the instability in the market, we have attended some painfully slow, awkward auctions but Mario just has a way with words and a sense of humour which puts both buyers and sellers at ease, creating an environment for a favourable outcome. Couple all this with a fantastic team behind him, I believe Team Sanfrancesco ran an extremely solid campaign which gave us confidence that everything had been done to achieve as best a result as possible at auction.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mario Sanfrancesco, Anthony Westong and his team to sell my house, and I must say that they did an amazing job. From the initial consultation to the closing of the sale, Mario, Anthony and his team were professional, attentive, and responsive to my needs. They went above and beyond to make the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible, keeping me informed every step of the way. Their knowledge, expertise, and attention to detail were truly impressive, and I couldn't have asked for a better team to work with. I highly recommend Mario, Anthony and the team to anyone looking for outstanding real estate services.

I would like to thank Mario and his team for their helpful advice and suggestions, from our very first meeting several months ago. With rising interest rates and a market in decline, I could sense Mario’s sincere desire to assist us. I appreciated Mario’s frank and honest appraisal throughout the selling campaign, and am very pleased that he achieved a sale for me. Thanks to Mario, Anthony, Keshena and all the team.

Very professional in his approach, knowledgeable and very aware of market conditions.

Mario listened closely to our needs and delivered a marketing campaign that exceeded our expectations. The marketing material was professional, polished and perfectly showcased our home. The material clearly resonated with the target audience, with nearly thirty groups through in a single showing. Mario kept me up to date and provided honest feedback. Despite a disappointing auction and anxiety arising from successive interest rate rises, Mario maintained a positive attitude and was extremely diligent in contacting prospective buyers. In a tough market, he achieved a result that was probably a win-win for both seller and buyer; a bit below our expectations that had been set the prior year, but realistic in the changing conditions. Congratulations Mario on achieving another suburb record! You promised us that we would not regret choosing you as our agent, and you were right :)

We were in a unique position in that we not only sold a property with Mario and Team Sanfrancesco we also purchased our new home with the team. Every one of our requirements was managed with extreme professionalism and the team were always available to answer even the most random of requests throughout the campaign. A pleasure to work with and would recommend to anyone selling a property. Thank you for everything.

Mario was incredibly professional throughout the process of selling my home. Team Sanfrencesco were inclusive, communicative and hardworking throughout the campaign, achieving a successful record sale for the suburb.

Mario is a highly skilled, professional and supportive agent who, together with Campbell went above and beyond to achieve a great result in uncertain times. I could not have asked for a better marketing and sales experience.

Mario and his team kept us updated throughout the sale period and provided us with a clean and easy sale of our property.

Mario and Team were exceptionally professional, timely and intelligent during the entire process. They directed me through the process seamlessly and efficiently.
