We were very satisfied with the level of service we received from Maria. Key aspects were: - once we engaged Maria and decided upon the sales strategy Maria obtained quotes, co-ordinated and project managed all the preparation that was required - painters, floor sanders, handymen, stylists etc - we felt this was above and beyond her role and much appreciated - transparent pricing guidance - weekly reports on potential buyer activity - sound advice in stressful auction situation We felt throughout that Maria had our backs and was fully focused on getting the best possible outcome for us. We would highly recommend her. For Maria, her clients are not one off transactions but a long term relationship that she invests in to maintain.

For us selling our house was a very difficult decision, but with Maria on board she made it a very smooth process. She is is an outstanding agent, her communication and attention to detail was something I greatly appreciate. Our home was so special to us, and she treated it as such every step of the way. She lived and breathed the sale and she chose carefully in regards to marketing and respected our wishes at every turn. I could not more highly recommend Maria, and should I know of anyone selling their home I would most certainly suggest Maria as an agent who not only gets the sale done but makes what is a difficult decision, easy along the way.

No hesitation in recommending Maria.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you once again for the amazing job you did for me in achieving that awesome result for the sale of my little house. I still can't believe it actually happened last night - still feels very surreal - but I couldn't be happier that Matt and Izabela Gower were the successful party and it is so nice to know that a young family will enjoy all that we have over the years in Herbert Street. From our first meeting I felt I had made the right decision in choosing you as my agent. You told me what you thought was a realistic price for my property, told me what I needed to do (declutter and clean), marketed the house in just the right way (what you see is what you get) and then once you had got the buyers in, advised me to go to auction. I know you did so much behind the scene to ensure we had the turnout that we did last night and I really appreciate all your hard work. The whole evening was such an amazing experience culminating in that result that was above my expectation! You guys were great! I can't thank you enough and will be recommending you and Stone to everyone I can.

Once again, Maria achieved an excellent result on the sale of home - it's "once again" because this is the 5th time we have bought or sold our house through Maria. With decades of small business ownership and operation behind us, we are scrupulous about doing our research and then engaging the very best person for the task. Maria's impressive knowledge, intelligent analysis, astonishing attention to detail, and indefatigable energy are balanced by a thoughtful and caring attitude that we have always found to be second to none. When you find such a total professional, why would you go to anyone else? It has been said so many times before by so many other reviewers, but, at the risk of straying into cliché territory, we trust Maria unequivocally and recommend her without reservation.

It is not an easy thing to choose the right estate agent to sell your property, especially when you don't live in that country and you will not be present for the sale. It is a huge leap of faith as you have to put an enormous amount of trust in that person. My brother and I lost our mother just before Christmas and we had to travel to Australia from the U.K. for the funeral and to sell her house. We could only stay for three weeks so it was imperative to get things moving quickly. We made a shortlist of three agents and had a meeting with them all. I liked Maria straight away. She was very professional but at the same time kind and caring. I think the word that best describes her is genuine. I would say go with your gut instinct - I'm glad I did. It was not an easy job for Maria and her team as there were many obstacles to overcome but they did it admirably. Whenever there was a problem or something that needed explaining Maria knew what to do. I knew she wouldn't let us down. I would recommend Maria unreservedly. Highly professional and trustworthy.

Great local knowledge and the most knowledgable appraisal of the market. Her honesty makes her stand out amongst all agents. We found Maria after interviewing other agents.

We recently purchased a house in Seaforth for which Maria was the acting agent. We have bought and sold a number of properties on the Northern Beaches and this was easily our simplest purchase. Maria's clear communication, market knowledge and no-fuss attitude are undoubtedly the reason for this. We have no hesitation in recommending Maria and we look forward to future dealings with her.

Maria acted tirelessly for us throughout the campaign, including nights and Sundays to facilitate twilight viewings as well as in the final stages of negotiations. From start to finish Maria proved to be an excellent communicator who worked hard to ensure that we obtained the best possible market price. Her valuation was sound and she remained committed to this in the post auction negotiations. I highly recommend Maria as an agent to anyone seeking to sell their home in Seaforth.

Maria and the team at Stone represented our home flawlessly and exceeded our expectations on price. Communication throughout the campaign was excellent, from initial advice on property preparation, to weekly open house reports and multiple meetings to prepare for different scenarios at auction. The team on Auction day were highly competent and professional, ensuring everything ran smoothly whilst also making it a "celebration" of selling our home. Not only was it a stress free experience, I am confident that by selling through Maria and her team we achieved the best possible price from the market.

Maria's professionalism was a real highlight during the purchase of our property. Maria's open and honest communication, along with her local market knowledge, provided us the satisfaction that we were making the right decision. From the first inspection right through to post settlement, Maria has ensured that any concerns have been taken care of. Maria really made the process of purchasing our property a smooth and enjoyable experience.

We were selling our house heading into the final weeks before Christmas. Although we did not get any solid offers during our initial 4 week campaign, Maria encouraged us to stick to our price and give it more time. I had a comfort level that Maria would come through for us and two weeks later we had sold our house for our original target price.
