We had to sell our unit remotely while interstate and after a first unsuccessful attempt with another agent for over a year we waited a bit and put it back for sale with Stuart while being interstate. Stuart knew the area well and got to work immediately which eventually led to a good result within weeks of going to market. Well done Stuart!
Stuart is patient, open and honest. He displayed a very caring manner in his approach to me as a buyer. He has an excellent knowledge of the Crows Nest/Naremburn area and he was highly responsive throughout the sale process.
I’m so glad my sister and I had Stuart to sell our late Aunty’s property for us. We both live outside Sydney and Stuart did an absolutely amazing job coordinating all the services needed to get our Aunty’s unit ready for sale. He even discovered an extra storage room in the complex that we didn’t even know existed! His communication was always excellent and he kept us updated every step of the way, both by phone and email. He made a daunting and overwhelming situation clear and achievable. Stuart’s knowledge of the market is unparalleled. He was actually the agent when our late Aunt originally purchased the unit eight years ago! He kept us appraised of the local market, and the history of sales in the area. During the sale process he explained every step and my sister and I felt really confident with all his advice and decisions. In the end the results speak for themselves - Stuart sold the unit for substantially more than my sister and I thought it would, especially as the market is a little unpredictable at present. I cannot recommend Stuart more highly - both he and the other professionals he organised to assist us were wonderful. He is a man of honesty and integrity.
Stuart kept me informed throughout the time it took to sell my unit. His advice was always on the mark and his perseverance second to none. He knows his market and the area extremely well and that was of great benefit to the sale.
Stuart's efforts paid off for us, from the beginning he made the selling plan clear and communicated clearly and promptly at every stage of the process. Found a new company to do the staging of the apartment at a very affordable rate saving us a chunk of money, organise the handy man to fix a few things that needed attention and made sure the property was put on the market in its best condition. All this happened whilst we remained in Brisbane knowing Stuart was doing everything in his power to get the best result possible for us.
Stuart was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the purchase process, took the complexity out of being a first-home buyer. I am grateful for his effective communication and speed to which we could close the deal.
All steps of the selling process were made easy with the help of Stuart. He demonstrated an excellent knowledge of the market, kept me informed throughout the process and took the stress out of selling my property.
I would like to take this opportunity to say how impressed I am with the professionalism at Marriott Lane. Matthew Hanlon at Marriott Lane has been my managing agent for over 5 years and I have always had the utmost confidence in his judgement and ability to manage the tenant relationship whilst keeping my interests at heart. It was no surprise then when I decided to stay with Marriott Lane, and engage Stuart Howard for the sale of my unit. The sale turned out to be very simple as I sold to my tenants but it was thanks to Stuart that the negotiations were smooth and stress free, and his advice was spot on to sell when I did. Throughout both rental and sale I never had to worry about a thing, as Matthew or Stuart kept me well informed at each step and I knew my investment property was well looked after, performing well, and I received the result I wanted.
Stuart's knowledge of the market and professional manner helped get the sale over the line swiftly and easily.
Stuart is an experienced real estate agent who specialises in properties around Sydney's lower north shore. His knowledge and expertise in this region were helpful in providing insights into the various discussions we have had. He is friendly, approachable and accessible. Stuart did a wonderful job in landing us our first property in managing all the negotiations. These happened stress-free and we are extremely satisfied with not only our purchase but also not having had to worry about the various bits and pieces of paperwork that were all taken care of promptly by Stuart and his team. We felt supported throughout the process and would recommend Stuart to anyone looking for a real estate agent who goes beyond just crunching the numbers!
Stuart communicated very effectively, updating me with developments and levels of interest and provided profession opinions when asked. Stuart was very attentive and responsive.
We enjoyed our dealings with Stuart for his honest and professional approach. We were constantly updated, he was always polite and accommodating to our requests. We'd definitely use Stuart and Marriott Lane in the future.
