Stuart Howard

Stuart and his colleagues have all been good communicators and dealt with everything in this changing market with patience and grace.

Stuart really cares about selling your property. He has expert knowledge of properties in the Lower north shore. He is methodical in his approach and keeps you informed during the entire process. Highly recommend!

We are first home buyers who have been hunting for our first apartment for 6 months, and in the process, have encountered many agents. From the beginning, Stuart was warm, friendly, and genuine (something we realised we had been sorely missing in other interactions) as well as being highly professional and forthcoming with information. From our first meeting through to purchase, we have had no complaints and would definitely recommend working with Stuart to others!

We were delighted with service Stuart provided. He took charge of preparing our property for sale. We barely had to do a thing. He also held a number of additional inspections to try and bring in additional buyers. He never pressured us to lower our price, but concentrated on bringing the purchasor up to where we were comfortable selling. We would definitely use Stuart again, and would not hesitate to recommend him!

What I appreciated about Stu compared to other agents in the area is that he’s involved in every step of the sales process from start to finish. Many agents take on more listings than they can handle, which often leads to a team-based approach. I feel that can be a disadvantage to the overall sales campaign. Stu is professional, not pushy, and managed every detail meticulously to secure the best possible sale price. I’m happy with the result which was above reserve and set a building record.

We were selling an almost 50-years old apartment in Wollstonecraft, which was an investment property. We selected Marriott Lane, as they were the managing agents for the apartment for more than two decades. The sales process went very well. Stuart has decades of sales experience in this geographic area. He mapped out the major events and timeline for the sales campaign. His fee proposal was also quite good. He gave us very valuable advices about how to prepare the unit for sale, specifically about painting, new carpets, and staging. He organised the various tradespeople, for a reasonable prices (we could judge those, as we have some experience with investments properties). Stuart advised us about the outcome of each inspection events. His advice was also very useful when we had to decide between accepting a pre-auction offer or taking the unit to auction. All-an-all, it was a very pleasant experience dealing with Stuart and Marriott Lane.
