We were very happy with Julian and Maria when selling our home .Naturally we had expected to get more as they had marketed our home in the view of getting 3200000 to 3500000 but realised this was not going to happen.Our problem being the stairs didn’t lend to downsizes.We thank them for all their efforts

We engaged Maria and her team Stone Real Estate, Seaforth to sell 18 Monash Crescent, Clontarf for us. The experience we had was faultless. We received a lot of advice from Maria’s designer to make our place “sale ready” and Maria’s team organised all of the contractors, making the process very easy and stress-free for us. We believe this preparation contributed to the excellent result achieved at auction. Her advice on what we were likely to achieve upon sale was spot-on, despite us thinking it wouldn’t be possible. The service has continued post-sale as well. Maria was on hand to oversee the necessary settlement details and even helped me to find and secure my new home. Selling the family home was an emotional decision for me and I felt like Maria had my back the whole time - she was considerate and thoughtful throughout. We would definitely use Maria again and have already recommend her service to friends and family considering placing their home on the market. Please believe me when I say you will be in very safe hands and will not regret your decision to choose Maria as your agent. We are beyond thrilled with the result she achieved for us.

Before we’ve ever put a property on the market, we’ve always believed in going to as many auctions and open for inspections as possible to observe how different agents operate and what results they achieve. This is how we selected Maria Cassarino from Stone Real Estate, as in our observations she consistently achieved the best results possible for her clients. From the moment we appointed Maria to sell our home, she did not disappoint. Although it had had various upgrades over the years, Maria was able to guide us as to what further work we needed to do in order to achieve a premium price. Although we have a good network of trades ourselves, Maria was able to top up in areas we were lacking. The people she suggested were quick, efficient and produced excellent results. We took 100% of her advice as our view was there is no point in selecting an expert in their field and then not following what they suggest. Throughout the campaign the team Maria had around her, including Phillip, Julian and Jane were very supportive and always available whenever we needed them. In a less than desirable market as far as sellers are concerned, we achieved an excellent result and this is due in no small part to the excellent team at Stone Seaforth. Our advice to anyone is to put your trust in Maria and you will not be disappointed.

Second time with Maria and I was very happy with her result.Excellent communication and nothing too much trouble

This is the second time we’ve used Maria to sell a home ... and this time as good as the last. From beginning to end Maria adopts a true partnership approach; so at all times you are fully aware of where your campaign is at. I would highly recommend Maria.

This is now the third property Maria has sold for us and we can't express how ecstatic we have been with her service, knowledge, expertise and the result she achieved for us. Marias advice is second to none, she helped us present our property beautifully and we have no doubt no other agent would have gotten the result she got for us. Maria you are an angel and we are so grateful for everything you have done!


I met Maria Cassarino approximately 2 years ago. She was recommended to us by a family friend who had had favourable dealings with her in the past. Initial discussions with Maria pertained to a property that we were uncertain about selling. During these discussions Maria showed us incredible respect and patience, was always available and never once placed any pressure whatsoever on us to put the property on the market. When the time came to sell another property, in what were exceptionally difficult circumstances, Maria displayed her extraordinary skill and character. She was direct yet compassionate, honest yet masterful in her skills. Maria was acutely aware of the appropriate timing for and preparation that was required for the sale and her knowledge of the market was second to none. As is usually the case with seasoned professionals, the process seemed seamless. Maria never exaggerated or mislead us in relation to the price that could and was ultimately successfully achieved. I am aware that Maria has worked in the real estate industry for many years. I can say without equivocation that she is an extraordinarily integrous professional who in our case, acted in our best interests in achieving a brilliant result.

Maria was a natural choice for us in deciding who we should partner with to sell our home. We have known Maria for many years and can attest to her incredible market knowledge and accurate assessment of property values in the Seaforth and Balgowlah North areas. Maria was spot on with her advice to us on preparing our property in pre-sale planning, and connected us with a team of professionals who were equally dedicated and supportive in helping us achieve our goals. We trusted Maria and her advice throughout the process, and can absolutely attest to her hard work and skill at negotiating a sale for us. Maria worked late into the evenings and kept us involved in every step of the process. We were in constant contact when we needed to be, and felt confident that Maria had our best interests in mind. She is one tough negotiator! We would absolutely recommend Maria and her team to anyone looking to sell their home.

Maria took over the sale of our property from another agent and we couldn't have been happier. Maria knows the area like the back of her hand, not only did she grow up here, she has worked in the area for many years now and has a thorough knowledge of property values and the needs or purchasers and vendors alike. As vendors, we always felt Maria was working in our best interests and worked tirelessly seven days a week to get us the best possible deal for our sale under particularly difficult circumstances. We could not recommend Maria and her entire team at Stone Seaforth more highly.
