Stone Real Estate Anmeldelser 

Disability discrimination despite being informed of obligations. Their treatment of someone being abused and neglected by the landlord is to make threats and fabricate stories to gaslight the tenant into thinking it's all their fault. It's truly abhorrent how horrible these people are.

We have rented an apartment through their Rockdale branch so my review applies to this particular branch, I'm not sure about other branches. This agency is being inconsistent with their service from the beginning of our tenure. The agent who is appointed to us is lazy and unhelpful. Looks like they are only there to collect the rent and send the rent receipt (which is automated anyway). They are so lazy that even after we approached to increase our lease for one year they didn't respond to our offer on time and now the owners have to wait extra to receive an updated rent from us due to a "two months notice" condition in the lease. From the moment we stepped into this apartment they are giving us reluctant service. Every time I email them with an issue, I get prepared this to be answered after weeks, not even days. I have to text separately every time to remind them that I have emailed them. It's unbelievable that this type of service exists in a country like Australia! My last issue regarding car space being illegally occupied by someone is still pending for their 'kind attention'

Our experience with stone real estate was terrible.
They showed us apartments chosen from them and not from us so that at one point we had to ask for the brochure so we could see all the apartments available and we might choose the one we would like (as we are the buyers).
When we reserved it the next day they started to ask for a 5 stars review (so inappropriate) and then they disappeared.
We started to have a lot of problems with the timing, information and every time I was trying to get in touch with them they were always busy or in a meeting or out of the office or not on their desks and they never called us back. The few times I was so lucky to speak with one of them it was so obvious that they were not interested to listen to me and helping me and they were saying that they would find out and then nothing, they did not even call me back.
They recommend Quastels to us and unfortunately, we had a difficult time with them too.
They will probably reply to my review and say that I can contact them to talk etc. etc. but it's just to show to the people who will read the review that they are not so bad but don't believe it.
They know me very well because I tried to contact them so many times and they did nothing to help me and I'm still waiting for a call from them.

Candice Cattell from Stone realty manly is nasty in her method of selling property 5/42 Queenscliff rd Queenscliff using 2 buyers & playing silent auction not only did she put pressure & much stress on both buyers but then wanted to dominate bidding amounts between the buyers. Sending me a contract 1 day prior with NO COOLING OF PERIOD when she then decides to close the deal 3 days prior being the Wednesday instead of Saturday auction date demanding 66W certificates from my solicitor on that day when we still hadn't heard back from the vendors solicitor in relation to contract amendments. I was granted extended settlement @ the start & after being the highest bidder she used that against me to get the other bidder to MATCH MY HIGHER BID & settle in shorter time. I FELT HER TACTICS WERE VERY UNFAIR & STRONGLY SUGGEST NOT TO DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY. I will be making a formal complaint to the real estate board, fair trading & ombudsman for MALPRACTICE. To top it off she was very unprofessional in not returning my calls or text messages via the whole ordeal @ the same time putting extreme pressure to settle by end of day being the Wednesday while I was running my own business trying to tend to clients & having to deal with this ordeal

This is about their Manly Branch - NSW, Australia

WARINING - DO NOT TRUST THEM - AND DO NOT ASK THEM TO MANAGE YOUR PROBABLY MOST VALUABLE ASSET. YOU WILL LOOSE MONEY.

By far the worst estate agent on the market. Don't know where to start to describe all my troubles I had with them.

But let's summarise it before the story is getting too long here:

1) rental balance not paid over months and with several requests to get my money
2) end of lease report was so bad that I lost lots of money because of missing evidence and because they simply did not claim with the old tenant
3) charged for a start of lease cleaning which was never done properly. I as a landlord and the new tenant complained, they promised to get it sorted and never did
4) condition report for new tenancy is unbelievable incomplete and will cause more financial damages.
5) New tenant complained about damages caused by the previous tenant from day one - for nearly two month no activities from their end which was nearly leading to a court hearing - I finally organised the repair myself when I was informed about the problem by the tenant.
6) They never act in your interest as a landlord - they simplsy spend as much money money as they can for bad services and bad repairs.

There are really good and reliable agencies in Manly. I made the mistake to trust Stone as I know it's owner through friends. But neither he nor the rest of the team are taking any responsibilities for their actions.

And today I started several claims at NCAT agains them.
