We feel so grateful to have had Stuart in charge of selling our house in Queensland. We live in WA and had to leave and trust so much to Stuart, and he went above and beyond again and again.
Stuart made sure the property was expertly staged and ready for sale, and he may have picked a few weeds and scrubbed a few tiles while he was at it. This was just the start of his fantastic work.
The result was a sale within 3 days and a selling price that was outstanding.
Thank you so much Stuart.
Lori
Sold in 6 days for top money, what more can I say! Stuart had a thorough and structured plan for the sale of my house, each step was executed promptly and to the highest standard, from marketing and photography, to hints on presentation, open days and the negotiation process. I was always kept up to date on progress and found Stuart be very easy to deal with. I would definitely recommend Stuart as a sales agent.
Helen Ninnes
We were very happy with the result achieved by Stuart in selling our house in Camp Hill. His communication skills were excellent, upfront and honest throughout the whole process and he managed to negotiate a successful sale on our behalf. He is very enthusiastic and has a strong understanding of the Camp Hill market and real estate in general and gives 100% to the sale. I would definitely recommend him to future vendors.
Russell and Jacinta
I cannot recommend our agent Stuart McCrea highly enough. He is professional, honest and a straight shooter. It is refreshing to deal with an honest real estate agent… a rare find…. Our property was on the market for 3 weeks and Stuart worked his magic and found a buyer who is also extremely happy with their purchase, and the icing on the cake is that Stuart achieved the suburb record for the sale of our property – a job well done!!!!
Ana-Marija
Words do not seem to be enough to fully express the upmost level of professionalism , communication , care , support , confidence and ease by which Stuart McCrea instigated and followed through with the marketing and sale process of my Holland Park property.. I had met with other local real estate agents in my area – but they did not instil the same level confidence in me as having the same level of professionalism and vision for managing my property sale, in comparison with Stuart. From my first contact meeting with Stuart, the marketing process and right through to the sale of my property, Stuart instilled a level of professionalism, communication and attention to detail that I have never encountered anywhere else before. The ease and confidence with which he guided me through the entire marketing and sales process was just extraordinary! His trust, support and dedication to fully achieve
a property sale outcome that far exceeded my expectations At no time did he not believe that he would not be able to achieve not just a sale for my property, but a sale outcome that I doubted would be even achievable It has been an absolute pleasure to have had Stuart manage the sale of my property. He well and truly worked above and beyond a normal 9 to 5 time scope to meet the goals that he had set for marketing and selling my property. I have no hesitation in recommending him as an agent to future home sellers.
They will certainly not be disappointed!
Marc Besnard
We couldn’t be happier with the sale of our house. Stuart gave great advice particularity prior to listing our house. He was personable, easy to communicate with and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Stuart if you want an agent who does that little bit extra.
Greg and Kerry Hart
Thank you for absolutely everything Stuart! We couldn’t recommend Stuart highly
enough. We’ve bought & sold many properties over the last 25 years. My husband
became very cynical, with good reasons, about real estate agents, in general. But he couldn’t fault Stuart! Stuart did an outstanding job guiding us through the selling process. He was in constant contact providing clear & honest feedback. We were confident we could trust him because of his obvious integrity and professionalism. Without a doubt Stuart is the most authentic & honest agent we have encountered. As for the sale of our house; Stuart was awesome. He worked so hard for us- he made every effort to reduce our stress and then he wowed us with a contract that out did our expectations by $50 000!! His negotiating skills are second to none! He deserves every cent of his commission & we will always turn to Stuart every time we have real estate to buy or sell. Stuart – you are a rare gem- not just someone who sparkles- but a person who has depth and who adds real quality to your profession. Again THANK YOU!!!
Jacqueline
We met Stuart while looking to buy a property and we noticed how professional and
personable he was compared to all other agents. For this reason we decided to contract him to sell out property. We were amazed with his market knowledge and different strategies. The result was, sold in first open house and above what we expected. I am already recommending him to all my family and friends
Jose Castineyra
We cannot compliment Stuart enough on his excellent handling of the sale of my Motherin -law’s property in Camp Hill. From the very first meeting, he was courteous, considerate and professional. Selling the family home for an elderly person can be a very difficult and emotional decision. Stuart did all he could to make the whole process as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. He was never over-bearing or pushy but was always available to offer advice if needed. I would recommend him highly.
Jan Black
Stuart was recommended to us through a friend. From the very beginning we were
impressed with his communication skills. He continually updated us with feedback from potential buyers and he was very easy to deal with. We felt he had a great market strategy for our home including photography. We were very happy with sale price he negotiated and most impressed with his professionalism. A pleasure to work with.
Robert & Carly
Just a short note to thank Stuart for his professional and efficient manner in which he dealt with the sale of our Camp Hill Townhouse Development . His service and personal attention was exceptional as was pleased to answer any questions at anytime and promptly responded with information that required follow up. We were always kept informed as to progress of the sales and Stuart worked tirelessly with integrity to secure the successful sale of our properties. Stuart has a great rapport with clients creating a reassuring environment throughout the sales process for both vendor and purchaser. We would have no hesitation in recommending Stuart as real estate agent of choice to those who are looking for a high quality service.
Katrina and Claude Capelli
I had the pleasure of working with Stuart during the purchase of my new property and also enlisting him to sell my existing property. I found Stuart to be extremely
knowledgeable in both circumstances and more importantly the market in which my existing property was selling. His communication is impeccable and understands the situation from both sides. He is extremely diligent, patient, understanding and excels beyond expectations in regards to customer service. Stuart is always available and the level of advice and support he provides is exceptional. Purchasing and buying at the same time is a very stressful process, however, knowing that the properties were in the hands of Stuart lessened this stress. Stuart is an extremely personable agent, has experienced all that his “clients” will during the process and sympathises where required. I could not recommend Stuart highly enough and his down-to-earth personality and industry experience are extremely valuable as a client. It has been a pleasure to deal with Stuart.
Tan and Ngoc Truong
Unlike previous experiences, selling our house with Stuart was easy, problem free and we sold for a great price in 1 week. He offered advice before we went to market about presenting the house and kept us up to date throughout the selling process. Stuart is attentive and professional and a great agent who we would definitely use again and have no hesitation in recommending.
Gregory and Linda Phillips
We chose Stuart McCrea to sell our Camp Hill home after meeting him at several home inspections over the years. We had found Stuart to be the most hardworking of agents, who always followed through with timely and appropriate communication – occasional emails that were tailored to our needs and just the right amount of phone follow up. When it came time to sell our house we trusted Stuart and this trust proved well-placed. Stuart was thorough, honest and successful. The potentially stressful process of selling was made easy by Stuart’s sound advice and transparent communication. After a short and effective marketing campaign, he achieved an excellent price. I would not hesitate to
recommend Stuart.
Leanne and Dan Loch
From my first meeting with Stuart McCrea to my last meeting with him I found him to
be on the ball. The man never sleeps. We were constantly up dated on progress with our property and Stuart achieved and excellent outcome for my family
Pete Webster
Stuart was extremely helpful to us in what was a very complicated situation with the sale of my late parents’ home. He could not have been more patient, understanding and accommodating, and his calm unruffable demeanour was much needed at a time of great stress. He gave us a very realistic and honest appraisal of our home and had many great suggestions as to what would make it more saleable. He also provided what turned out to be a very successful strategy in the auction process, and the property sold for $45000 over the reserve. We could not have asked for more of Stuart and I would highly and unreservedly recommend him as a fantastic agent.
Julie D’mellow
Sold in 1 week should say it all but really Stuart goes the extra mile. We have a very unique house that some agents might not know what to do. With Stuart’s keen eye for detail and I would imagine a long list of buyers on his wait list we were able to get exactly what we wanted. Stuart is very down to earth and not pushy at all. I would believe all his years of training as a negotiator and time working with all kinds of sellers has made him into a class act. My husband was working away during our sale time and Stuart was able to help us keep our cool during the whole settlement process. He has an eye for detail and can guide you through what makes your home its most valuable. I spoke with Stuart over many months during our time of getting prepared and nothing seemed too trivial. I would without a doubt recommend Stuart and believe his sales style to be a rare talent.
Kerry and Luis
If you need to sell your house, you need to look for Stuart.
He sold our place in the first open home and got the right price!
We were so glad to have him as our agent!!
Sharon and Nixon
Stuart McCrea has been gently guiding my aunt and I toward the sale of her family
home for about 18 months. We followed his advice regarding preparation and the end result, without great expense, was a beautiful grand old home which sold well above expectations within the first week on the market. Stuart went above and beyond. He was always available to us, reliable, kept us well informed, and was also sensitive to the changing circumstances within our family. His professionalism, strong work ethic, and concern for us as the vendors have been exemplary. Definitely the best real estate experience I’ve ever had. Thank you Stuart!
Jenny O’Brien
Stuart is the ultimate professional. He has a clear understanding of the market and was able to provide me with realistic expectations for the sale of my townhouse. That being said, he well and truly exceeded my expectations with his outstanding negotiation and communication skills. Stuart was always very responsive to any questions or concerns I had, and importantly he was also attentive to the needs of the purchaser. The process was a stress-free experience and he was able to achieve an outstanding result! Without hesitation I would recommend Stuart to anyone interested in buying or selling a property.
Stephanie
If you’re thinking about listing your home and not sure which agent to list with, may I suggest you list with Stuart McCrea. While it might not seem that the listing agent matters, let me tell you – it does. Not all situations are alike. You may need to sell quickly, you may want to get the highest price even if it takes a bit longer, you might want to do improvements to reduce sales time but aren’t sure what will matter. Trust Stuart. I listed my home with two other agents before him and neither understood my unique situation as they were too self-absorbed in making a quick sale and hence their commission. They both used exactly the same strategy they had used with every other client when the real estate business was easier… and then they both shut up shop and went missing in action when my sale contract crashed. Stuart was patient. We worked the game plan together, and he gave sound advice every step along the way. We did some judicious updating, tweaked the plan as we went along and we hit my goals. Most importantly, we sold my home for more than my prior agents thought possible. If you want an agent who keeps you up to date pre and post-sale then you can’t go past Stuart
McCrea.
Ben Burke
I can’t speak highly enough of Stuart. His attention to detail, sound counsel,
availability, professionalism, communication style and manner made selling the house very easy. I would not hesitate to recommend Stuart and am very grateful for his exceptional service.
Karen
The first time my mother and I met Stuart was for an appraisal of the family home.
Stuart came armed with all the details about our property and comparisons with other similar properties in the area. We found Stuart to be honest and knowledgeable. We then engaged Stuart to sell the property and took his advice to sell the property by auction. We didn’t know what to expect however Stuart constantly kept us informed of potential buyers, their comments and what they would consider to offer following a series of open houses leading up to the auction. The house was sold at auction and Stuart and his team on the day achieved an excellent result. I highly recommend Stuart for his frankness and dedication he gives to his clients.
The Buffardeci’s
Stuart sold us our dream family home. He was patient and communicated very well
throughout the whole process. He was very knowledgeable about the market, and
the area, and was very reliable. I would be happy to recommend him to anyone
Cameron and Catherine
Stu was open, honest and a great communicator from the start. It was very clear
that he knew the market well and offered calculated strategies on how we could sell
our property for the best value. We knew we could call him anytime and he was
extremely reliable through the whole process. Will definitely be using Stu again in
the future.
Amanda
Stuart went above and beyond throughout the whole sale process. From the
moment we were thinking about selling, Stuart was always available to provide
advice about how to maximise our sale price Stuart was so responsive – to calls,
texts, or emails – we’d always get a reply without delay. Thank you so much Stuart
for such a positive experience!
Elise
Stuart helped us sell our home of 16 years. Stuart gave us confidence in the selling
process and helped us with sound advice on getting the house ready for sale. His
knowledge & experience of the Camp Hill market was also on point. He was very
professional throughout and acted with our best interests to get the best price. We
would absolutely work with Stuart again and would thoroughly recommend him to
any other prospective seller.
Fiona
Stuart’s knowledge of my area was great, he painted a vivid picture to potential buyers, not only about the house itself but the surrounding neighbourhood, schools, shops, parks, transport etc. Stuart was always straight down the line with us and we greatly appreciated that about him. Stuart provided the peace of mind we needed, he walked us through every step, provided great advice enabling us to sell our house for what we wanted. We highly recommend Stuart and Place to anyone wanting results.
James
Stuart is a very honest confident individual who takes his job very seriously. We found Stuart to be extremely professional, providing us regular updates and always
contactable. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, in-touch with the market and
confident in managing a seamless campaign. Stuarts hard work was evidenced by the quantity of offers we received within days of our first open hole. Our thanks to Stuart and Place for the service they provided and will be sure to recommend them.
Stefan
Stuart was a great communicator with a deep knowledge of the local market. He made the potentially stressful process very straightforward.
Amy & Wesley
Stuart was great to work with. He was informative, very easy to deal and always
contactable. I can not rate Stuart more highly and I will be using next time to buy or sell.
Andrea
We can not recommend Stuart highly enough. From the moment we met Stuart, he was honest and trustworthy. He made us feel very comfortable and after dealing with many other local agents who let us down, Stuart definitely stood out then all the rest.
Excellent communication and he set out to find the most suitable buyer for us & got us the exact price we wanted. You will not be disappointed at all if you choose Stuart to sell your home.
Christina & Victor
Stuart went out of his way to help make sure that my buying experience was easy and seamless. I would highly recommend him to any seller or buyer. Thank you Stuart. You were great.
Lee
This is the second time we have sold with Stuart. When talking with Stuart you can be reassured that what you see is what you get. Confident, knowledgeable and most of all honest and let’s face it that’s rare. I never felt like there were any tricks and he has an immense amount of local and greater Brisbane real estate knowledge.
We had a family situation where we needed someone like Stuart to be understanding and always keeping us in the loop re our sale.
I never felt uncomfortable re our listing price and was not pressured to lower our price.
I’m sure we will sell our next house with him and encourage anyone to speak with him even for some advice presale
Kerry & Luis
Stuart has been our agent for two properties he sold for us and in both instances he has delivered results way beyond our expectations and achieved a record sale result for the type of property. In both instances these were not top of the market properties, but small to medium size older renovated houses.
Whilst there are many real estate agents who are very professional and results driven, Stuart quite simply goes way beyond “the norm” in all aspects of the selling process.
His attention to detail in regard to his marketing is quite extraordinary. He consults with you and ensures that you are always kept fully informed and up to date. Stuart’s total dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for the vendor, is reflected in a number of areas:
1) He never tells you anything that he can’t deliver on
2) He is driven to obtain the very best result for your property no matter what the price range
3) He is there providing his expertise and negotiating skills for EVERY stage of the selling process, right up until the cheque is deposited in your bank.
Probably the best recommendation we can give to any prospective vendor is that we have bought and sold a number of houses in many different areas of Australia over the years and dealt with numerous real estate agents and there is no doubt that Stuart is quite simply THE BEST. If there was a Triple A rating for professionalism, service AND results then Stuart McCrea would be a worthy recipient!
Marylyn & Peter
Stuart is a very honest and grounded realestate agent. He has a high level of integrity
and ethics. He works hard to get the price your after and we really felt he was working for us.
Jane & Gerard
First time seller
Having not been through the process of selling before, Stuart helped us every step of
the way. He also helped immeasurably with explaining all the possibilities and
probabilities not only with selling but the decision between auction and private treaty.
He achieved an outcome beyond our expectations.
Jill
I sold my home, which was exactly the task given to Stuart, and he came through with flying colours.
Without Stuart’s expertise in knowledge of market and his negotiating skills, the sale
could have been on rocky road, as my home had many features, some which were
negative. But with persistence Stuart found the right buyer and brought the sale to a
close. His manner is always very helpful, and you always get an honest answer to the
appraisal of how things are going.
He is highly recommended
Matt & Marnie
If you want commitment, enthusiasm, great feedback and hardwork, Stuart is your
man. He is honest and open, we cannot praise his efforts highly enough. When it was
time to sell we spoke to Stuart and several other agents. Stuart stood out far above the others on his preparation and knowledge of the area. He worked tirelessly, kept us informed and gave us great personal service for a great result. We would
enthusiastically recommend him.
Devi
Stuart had a very difficult situation with my wife and I not talking to each other – he
had no problems dealing with that and going between one and another for direction- the end sale price, considering the constraints from a fractured family was amazing – I would never have considered that my house would sell for what Stuart got the sale for – this man is a machine – no one can achieve what he sets out to achieve- take this man on and give him 100% control of your sale – no questions asked.
Michael
Stuart was excellent. He listened to us and helped us make the right decisions. We did everything he asked, and that gave us a fantastic bottom line. We would not hesitate to recommend him. He was very professional and so easy to work with. Good communicator. We would like to thank him for the work he put into the sale.
We wish you every success in the future.
Chris & Dave
Stuart is a top shelf professional agent.
Stuart is a supreme agent. His knowledge and advice about the real estate market was truthful, precise and extremely helpful. He is a straight shooter who tells it like it is, but always with respect, professionalism, kindness and a little humour mixed in
Tara & Peter
Stuart’s work with preparing the house for auction was very professional and
successful.
Noela & Karl
Stuart was the Marketing Agent for my property. He was honest, upfront very
approachable & conducted himself in a very professional manner. He kept me well
informed on the progress of the campaign. I was very happy with the selling price &
would highly recommend Stuart for any of your Real Estate matters.
