Mario and Team Sanfrancesco provided confidence, trust, and empathy, guiding us through the sale process. Mario's decades of experience were invaluable in selling our house in a very challenging market. Fiona’s expertise and meticulous attention to detail in presenting our house for sale were outstanding. William, Kieran, and Clare provided excellent negotiating, communication, and business skills. Most importantly, they work very well as an integrated team.

We couldn't have asked for a better team to sell our home. Mario and William were outstanding from start to finish. They were professional, honest and always available, and they kept us informed at every stage of the campaign. Their advice was clear and realistic, and they handled the open homes and buyer negotiations with real skill. On auction day they were calm, sharp and completely in control, and we got a great result in current market. They made a stressful process feel manageable, and it was clear they cared about getting the best outcome for us. We'd recommend Mario, William and the whole team to anyone looking to sell. Thank you Team Mario Sanfrancesco !!

Mario and the whole team were great to deal with from start to finish. They had a really good understanding of the Canberra market and gave us honest advice about the property and the market conditions. Communication was excellent. They kept us updated regularly and did a great job communicating with potential buyers and keeping us informed about the feedback and interest in the property. The marketing campaign was also very well done and presented the property really well. Most importantly, we were very happy with the result, especially given it was one of the toughest markets. Mario and the team worked hard to achieve a great outcome for us. We were really happy with the whole experience and would definitely recommend Mario and his team.

We worked Team Sanfrancesco to sell our inner south Canberra property while resident in another state. Mario’s advice was straight to the point, ensured our price expectations were aligned with what was a less than favourable market, and on the day of our auction, secured us a price we feel was the best we could have achieved. Nothing was too much trouble for Fiona, who ensured that the house was presented to its best advantage and communicated with us regularly throughout the process of styling and marketing. Mario and Fiona are true professionals - we would be delighted to use their services again.

Mario and his team were very professional the way they handled every aspect in relation to marketing and styling the house. Mario as auctioneer, did a wonderful job to get a good price for the house in these difficult times in the real estate market

Mario had a a great communication style & marketing knowledge and also excellent professionals skills

Mario made the whole purchase easy — upfront and responsive. Agent Kieran also went out of his way to arrange several property visits between exchange and settlement so we could measure up and plan furniture and the move in advance. Genuinely helpful from both of them and highly recommended.

Highly recommend the Blackshaw Team for their communication, market knowledge, professionalism and negotiation skills. Special kudos to William who maintained transparent and timely communication that led to an outcome beyond my expectations. I felt like I was in safe hands from day one thanks to their preparation and expertise, and the end result reflected this.

Mario, Fiona and team understood our specific needs and we chose them because it was evident straight away that they listened carefully. They were always calm, even through some small obstacles from others and very solutions focused. Mario read the prospective buyers well and show an extraordinary level of consideration for all parties involved. Communication from Blackshaws was on point and they showed that they are all team players.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for everything Mario and his team did for us in selling 86 Mugga Way Red Hill. Reflecting on the auction and marketing process Mario personally went above and beyond for us and exceeded all expectations! Moreover, his experience in high-end property sales, skill as an auctioneer and your genuine nature meant the whole process was stress-free. I also want to extend my thanks to the entire team. Every member of Team Sanfrancesco played a pivotal role and kept the process moving forward with a positive cadence from start to finish. This also contributed significantly to making the sale process smooth and stress-free. A special mention to Fiona, her warmth and kindness were so appreciated, especially as she welcomed us at the office. She’s a tremendous asset to the team and a calming presence for nervous sellers on auction day. Mario has created a fantastic business model, and we are genuinely grateful for his invaluable input, technical expertise, and strategic vision. It’s been a pleasure to have him on our side.

Mario and his team quickly attended to every matter. Their advice, planning and strategy was exactly what was needed. They were most accommodating to our needs and their professional execution was second to none. A great experience and a good result.

I would like to sincerely thank Mario for the incredible effort he put into selling our home. From the very beginning, he demonstrated professionalism, dedication, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible result for our family. Mario went far beyond what we expected. He personally organised the staging, arranged the photographer, coordinated all the small repairs, and took care of every detail from start to finish. We didn’t have to worry about anything — he managed everything seamlessly and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. His communication was always clear and timely, his advice was strategic and honest, and his negotiation skills were outstanding. Thanks to his hard work and careful planning, the final sale price was well above our expectations. We are truly grateful for his dedication, patience, and expertise. If you are looking for an agent who will go above and beyond and handle every detail with care, I highly recommend Mario. You will be in very capable hands. Thank you again, Mario — we couldn’t be happier with the result!
