Any agent can move a property in a strong market , but the current conditions with rising interest rates, covid and the scare of a looming recession meant the task of selling was so much more difficult . I don't believe any of the other agents in Seaforth were up to the challenge. Maria and her team personify the word professional, and we would hesitate to recommend Maria and her team.
Maria and her team (Lauren, Isabella) are excellent. From the start to the end they are/have been genuine with us. They know what is required for the successful sale. I would wholeheartedly recommend Maria and the team to anyone.
Maria and her team (Lauren, Todd, Kirsty etc.) took the time to understand our needs and then aligned their sales & marketing campaign to them. The quality of the materials (e.g. Website, video, brochures, 'For Sale' board etc.) were excellent and complimented the quality of the property being sold, but it was Maria's professionalism and tenacity to get us the best deal was what stood out. In addition, her communication, both written and verbal was always up to date and accurate. I would highly recommend Maria and her team. They were a pleasure to work with.
Having just recently purchased a property through Stone Realty in Seaforth, the lead Agent Maria Cassarino was quite wonderful to deal with. It is never easy bidding on your dream home, emotions and tensions run high naturally, that is a given. How you feel throughout the experience is always going to be paramount to how far you are willing to go to reach the goal. We felt Maria was open and honest with us throughout the sale. Naturally the agent is expected to get the best result for the vendor, this is always understood, however as the buyer, we must determine what the true value of the home is looking at it from the long term perspective. At no point did we actually feel tense or that we were being driven to buy something that was not worth it. Maria remained professional throughout the negotiations, she kept us very well informed at all times of the Vendor's wishes and we feel she honestly did try to make it happen for us within the limitations a buyer must accept when the agent is working for the Vendor and not us. Maria happily explained all the problems we might face post sale and she openly, and we felt honestly, answered our questions when they arose. We knew the flaws we would need to take on post sale and were offered ways with which to resolve them which was helpful in the decision process. All told, we give Maria a 9.5 out of 10 and have decided that when the time comes to sell our current property shortly, we will enlist Maria to do that for us. How is that for having enough confidence in her?
We bought just as the market was turning. As the days went on, and the media about the housing market got worse, it became increasingly concerning that we would sell our current home for a lot less than anticipated. Fortunately, we had chosen an agent who didn’t just want to get us over the line (and get a commission), she wanted to get us the best deal. And she did! We could have been in a lot of trouble if it wasn’t for Maria’s excellent tactics and negotiation skills. Thank you Maria. I wouldn’t choose anyone else!!
Maria had a very realistic grasp and extensive knowledge of the market in our area. Both she, Julian and all the team were able to answer all queries we had, quickly supplied any help in supplying people to help us prepare our home for sale and were easy and efficient people to communicate with. No stone was left unturned. Their professionalism was exemplary. We would highly recommend them.
Maria exudes confidence. She studies the market and reads the property market extremely well. Maria has an exceptional team backing her with a big shout out to Lauren Sudol. Lauren was beyond amazing. Always willing to help and go above and beyond. Highly Recommended
Maria inspires confidence as soon as you speak to her. She knows the local market and understands current trends. Maria responds to all queries quickly and thoroughly, offering valuable advice. She is incredibly easy to deal with. I would have no hesitation in recommending Maria and Stone to any vendor or buyer.
We’ve recently had the pleasure of working with Stones and in particular Maria. Our journey started a few years a go when we first moved to Seaforth. Over the years we’ve popped in a few times to ask for help on various projects. Maria has been so helpful on every occasion. As a result we had no hesitation selling our house with Stones. Maria was so good. She kept us fully updated and was there once again to offer help and support with our difficult questions. Ultimately we sold our house within our time frame plus she negotiated a better deal for us in the final hours. We couldn’t be happier. Thanks Maria.
Working with Maria and her team was an absolute dream they made the process easy transparent and homely. I would recommend her highly to anyone thinking about selling there property !
It was a pleasure working with both Maria and Lauren on the recent purchase of our home in Seaforth. They made the process easy and frictionless. They’re at the top of their game here in Seaforth and for good reason.
As the buyer of a property for which Maria was the vendor's agent, I found Maria to be straight up and easy to deal with. She was professional in all her undertakings with us and provided what we found to be a balanced approach to the sale - providing both her client and us as a potential buyer, honest appraisals of the situation. Maria is hardworking and nothing was a trouble for her throughout the transaction. I would recommend Maria to potential vendors and buyers.
