Maria Cassarino

Maria is an amazing hard working woman. I’m so glad we chose her to sell our house. She is a remarkable women. She worked extremely hard for us giving us her professional and friendly advice. She helped us to solve every single hiccup along the way and did her best to take the stress away from us. Selling our property was a much easier experience thanks to Maria. We loved her style and her personal touch. It makes all the difference!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you so very much for your amazing assistance in selling our much loved family home. As you know we were looking at other agents in the area, but after the glowing reference that my girlfriend Sarah had given us on not only what you achieved for their property but also assisting them with the purchase of their new home, we thought we had to meet you – and we are certainly glad we did!

I appointed Maria as our agent because she sold us the unrenovated house back in 2009 and at the time I was impressed by her ability to listen and understand what we wanted from our home rather than simply trying to sell us a house so she could take the commission. Against the competition Maria can hold her head very high in terms of her professionalism, honesty, diligence and perseverance.

Before we appointed Maria Cassarino at Stone Real Estate to sell our home we underwent due diligence and requested proposals from 4 local agents. We were extremely happy with the comprehensive and stand-out proposal that Maria and Stone presented to us, which immediately saw her/Stone stand out from their competitive pack! Throughout our 4 week campaign we felt that we were Maria’s 100% focus with regular updates and strong guidance. Maria was never going to sell out early on us and our campaign, and ensured that we got the best and worthy price for our property, working tirelessly right up to the end. We couldn’t be happier with Maria and will definitely sell with her again in the near future!

We engaged Maria and her team Stone Real Estate, Seaforth to sell 18 Monash Crescent, Clontarf for us. The experience we had was faultless. We received a lot of advice from Maria’s designer to make our place “sale ready” and Maria’s team organised all of the contractors, making the process very easy and stress-free for us. We believe this preparation contributed to the excellent result achieved at auction. Her advice on what we were likely to achieve upon sale was spot-on, despite us thinking it wouldn’t be possible.

The service has continued post-sale as well. Maria was on hand to oversee the necessary settlement details and even helped me to find and secure my new home. Selling the family home was an emotional decision for me and I felt like Maria had my back the whole time – she was considerate and thoughtful throughout. We would definitely use Maria again and have already recommend her service to friends and family considering placing their home on the market. Please believe me when I say you will be in very safe hands and will not regret your decision to choose Maria as your agent. We are beyond thrilled with the result she achieved for us.

We couldn’t have hoped for a better real estate agent when buying our first home. Maria is knowledgeable and an expert in the local area. She is a true professional as well as being genuine and lovely to deal with.

I put everything I had into designing the perfect home. Given covid, I knew I needed the fiercest and most passionate realtor in the area to still get the best results. Maria and the team at Stone made my property stand out from the rest. They ran an aggressive campaign that led droves of people to each and every open home. There were plenty of bidders on auction day and we sold for far above reserve. Great work Maria, Julian, Lauren and the rest of the Stone team.

Maria, Julian & team went above and beyond! Their service, knowledge of the area and professionalism secured a buyer for our property in these uncertain times. Thank you all again, very happy vendors.

Maria and Julian sold my property within 4 weeks from initial marketing. They gave great advice as to how best to market and dress the property, They provided the services to help do this. They targeted the right audience and found the buyer we were looking for. The price they achieved for the property met my expectations and the whole process was conducted efficiently and with minimum fuss. Great job guys, I wholeheartedly recommend Maria and Julian – a very good team indeed.

Maria was very easy to work with and quick to respond to all of our requests for information, we were really happy with the process.

The purchase process of my new home was made stress free by Maria and Andrew’s professionalism.
I found they fulfilled my expectations of agent integrity and efficacy. Their communications were informative and up-front. I felt my interest was represented through the negotiation process with the vendor leading to an agreement which suited both vendor and purchaser. I am deeply grateful.

Maria, Julian and her team maintained positivity through a very difficult period of the pandemic. Maria marketed our home perfectly, attracting the most suitable potential buyers for our unique bohemian waterfront property. Maria sold our property within a very pleasing timeframe. I appreciated her honesty, kindness and professionalism during the campaign. I would highly recommend Maria, Julian and the team.

We recently had the pleasure of of using Maria’s services to sell our family home. In arduous times due to Covid we found Maria to be very straight forward and accurate in her predictions of the market. She had a great knowedge of the local area and her supporting team at Stones went above and beyond to not only deliver a great result but also made the process as smooth as could be. I recommend Maria to anyone looking to sell a property as we could not find fault and walked away happy with the decision we made to choose Stones to sell our property.

Maria is a fantastic real state agent who I can confidently recommend to any one selling a home in the Northern Beaches. Having grown up in the area, Maria knows the market incredibly well. She is well organised, planned and always up front and honest with her view. Maria’s team did such a good job helping us prepare the house for sale, from providing an interior designer and a contractor to help with some odd jobs. Thank you to Maria, Lauren, Julian, Danni and all the team at Stone Seaforth.

Maria is a top notch Agent! Always responsive and available to answer questions and work with you, and incredibly knowledgeable about the home, area, and overall process. Top notch!

This was a challenging campaign. We entered the market off the back of a very buoyant 3-4 weeks of house sales in Sydney. Maria and her team did a terrific job getting the campaign up and running in a short period of time and the marketing collateral and photos were superb. The first open house was a thorough success with plenty of interest generated – then came the lockdown and ban on open houses. Without doubt the pandemic saw the rise of the opportunists and Maria did a good job of sorting out the realistic and motivated buyers who were genuinely looking for a place to call home. I’ve always felt anyone can sell a house in Sydney when the market is hot and, to date, there hasn’t been a book written on selling a house in a global pandemic (or not that I know of anyway) and this was always going to be a real test for Maria and her team – and for the real estate industry in general. This was never going to be a “present the house and let the games begin” type of campaign. The market went from “hot” to “not”. This is when you need an agent with a level head – for the vendor and the buyer. Maria was this agent. We have purchased and sold a lot of houses and I’m wary of making comparisons to past campaigns as the selling environment was unprecedented. Ultimately, Maria and her team got the job done despite the challenges presented by COVID 19. They say never go to sea with a fair weather sailor – you just don’t know what conditions you may sail into. The same can be said of a real estate campaign. To this end, if you want an agent who can perform in all market conditions – Maria is your agent.

Maria and her team are so dedicated and committed, you know your property is in the best hands. She goes above and beyond, is honest, reliable and always gets back to you. She really understands the market, and is the gold standard in real estate.

I recently bought a house from Stone RE. I found Maria and the team to be highly professional, very responsive even late at night, straight forward and easy to deal with with flexible opens despite Covid! It was a pretty streamlined experience thanks to Maria.

Maria recently sold us our first family home. We loved her professional and honest approach which was so helpful to us in securing the home after narrowly missing out on a number properties with other agencies / agents who were not so transparent. We also loved how available and contactable she was, particularly for any questions we had post purchase. It’s nice and rare when an agent answers your call first go! Many thanks to Maria and the Seaforth Stone Real Estate Team, you made our first home purchase very seem very easy.
