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.
Maria is a top notch Agent! Always responsive and available to answer questions and work with you, and incredibly knowledgeable about the home, area, and overall process. Top notch!
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.
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.
Maria and Phillip were wonderful in their efforts to sell our property. They were upfront in their assessments and had our full confidence throughout the whole process from appraisal to negotiation and completion. They kept us up to date throughout the whole process. I would not hesitate to engage with Maria or her team in future.
Maria and her team have impressed us so much with their attention to detail and excellent service. This is our fourth house purchase and never have we received such a high level of Professionalism, down to a bottle of French champagne delivered on the day we exchanged contracts!
You guys have been a joy to work with. You and your team have been excellent in terms of communication, actioning any requests, returning calls, providing advice as well as looking after the house for viewings. The post viewing reports and follow ups have been very thorough. Your team have a great, consistent attitude and professionalism at all times. Specifically, I like the sections in the house brochure which are factual and emotional - appealing to the different customer mindsets. The photography was superb, whilst the help and guidance from the stylist is a brilliant service that sets you apart. Nicole Johnson at NBCS is also superb. Straight, reassuring and super efficient. You have surrounded your service with some excellent people. Our decision to use Stone was absolutely the right one and we would have no hesitation in recommending you - in fact I have two friends in the area who are looking to list their house. Many thanks Simon
I was fortunate enough to meet Maria, Julian, Laurent and the team at stone when I purchased my first house. They were a delight to deal with and I am so grateful for their help and support during this time. I would absolutely recommend Maria and her team as they are very honest and professional agents :)
Maria and her team (Julian and Lauren) are much more than just realestate agents, from the moment that you sign your property with Maria they will look after everything for you, from styling to organising cleaning to gardening, etc. Communication is fantastic with these guys, they call you promptly after every inspection so you are always informed about how your sale is going. Maria sold our house very quickly and we could not be happier with the result. We highly recommend Maria and her team and will go back to her again for buying our house . Thank you so much guys for making this stressful process a breeze. Hoori and Lindsay Smith
