Stone Real Estate Manly

We were looking for a place for our family to rent in Manly, while still interstate. Catherine and the rest of the Stone team were so wonderful and helped us find something right away. They held our hand through the whole process and were helpful, compassionate and thoughtful. Their communication has been excellent. It's been an easy and stress-free journey.

Five͏ star expertise from start to finish.Adam and Mark were competent, hard-working and thorough maintaining contact with all buyers and analysing feedback throughout the sales process. They were very respectful and easy to communicate with. The strength of the team effort added a power that pushed the marketing campaign forward. They know and understand the local market and have the skills to achieve top results. I can highly recommend Stone Real Estate.

Fast, thorough & delightful. We came down from Qld to sell our property (a deceased estate) that had not had any renovations or maintenance for 30 years. We were nervous about selling with interest rate rises & finding tradies to bring the place upto scratch, so we allowed two months to renovate & bring the place upto sellable state.Eddie was recommended by our solicitor.Previously, not having much faith in real estate or lawyers, I was sceptical.Eddie's office was a few suburbs away & met with a local estate agent first, quite conservative but very knowledgeable on the local market, with great advice.Eddie came in fresh, positive & a great listener, didn't feel like I was being lectured but jointly creating a strategy to save time, money in getting the property for sale. He out serviced the local agent by a long way.The difference between the two agents was the first guy was telling me what would be needed to maximise the sale of the property,... Eddie told me what needed to be done & then offered the services of his regular tradies, that prioritise work he brings to them & I was amazed they could start everything in a few days timeHaving Leukemia, & at times low energy, I was very stressed at the thought of this project. Eddie his team gave me so much confidence that it was all OK & they would take care of getting this property to market, i went back to my Qld home after 3 days instead of spending my scheduled 2 months down here.Eddie has a high, calm energy & great communication style & team that got everything done on schedule.We had the place painted right through, all lighting/power points pulled out replaced, garden work, handyman repairs, styled, photographed, uploaded to the web & ended up selling a day before the first open for inspection, to one of Eddies data base clients, at a price we were very happy with that also, was fair value for the purchaser.All within two weeks of first meeting Eddie!Selling? You need to at least having a meeting with Eddie

Fantastic͏ ResultAdam and Mark did an amazing job helping sell our Grandmothers apartment. He was able to provide really helpful advice on how to address a sensitive moment for her, how we presented it for sale and great contacts. In an evolving market their recommendations and negotiation was second to none!!

Great knowledge of the market. Catherine was a great partner is helping us to buy our apartment on Manly beach. She has great knowledge of the market, and was extremely accommodating of us in terms of viewing times and answering all our questions, which gave us the confidence to proceed with the purchase from overseas. Thank you Catherine!

I have recently changed managing agents for my two rental properties, and they are both now managed by Catherine Hughes of Stone Real Estate.I could not be happier with the service I have been provided so far, as Catherine and her team (Tameka & Illya) have shown excellent attention to detail, professional judgement and sound relevant advice in the process to rent both my properties.They quickly placed a new tenant in each property at a higher rental rate, aligned to the current strong market. They thoughtfully researched the market when advising an increase in rent from previous, and hit the mark each time as a number of strong applications were made for the properties after open houses.I would highly recommend using Stone Real Estate Manly as talented and dedicated managers of your property.

Anna Golubic has been managing our rental apartment for a few years now. She is great to communicate with, always prompt to reply and has looked after us very well. I would recommend her.

Catherine came highly recommended as a Property Manager and she has been absolutely splendid.She found us a suitable tenant before we had even gone to market officially! I I found Catherine to be exceptionally diligent and knowledgeable in all aspects of property management and leasing. It's clear that she has lots of experience and really understands the local market. She guides first time landlords like myself with great tips and advice. Nothing is too much trouble for Catherine and I would not hesitate to recommend her and the fabulous Stone Team in Manly.

Extremely poor service. My apartment was not clean when I moved in and windows allowing external access could not be closed. The agent refused to acknowledge the legal obligation to provide secure premises, so, after 3 months of trying to get the windows repaired, I paid for the repairs myself and received only a partial refund after threatening to take the matter to the Rental Tribunal. Also: I was asked to pay a $528 cleaning fee after I vacated despite leaving the apartment in better condition than when I moved in, as supported by the Incoming Inspection Report.

An excellent sales agent, Eddy Piddington's experience and professionalism put him in a level above his competitors. The whole sales process was seamless from start to finish with an honest and realistic approach from Eddy and his team. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home and gain the best possible outcome.
