Did not meet Mark face to face, but was genuine and worked hard Worked hard to get the best possible price for us...Very happy with his commitment. Would certainly recommend.

Carolyn & Brian Ward- Broadbeach

Mark Stafford is one of the best agents I have had the pleasure of dealing with. He works alongside his colleague Andrew Rouse and in tandem, they ensure the whole process of buying and selling real estate is seamless. At no time did I feel pressured with agent talk, but I was aware that they were there at all times to answer questions and to provide assistance. Mark and Andrew were professional and either took calls immediately or called back quickly. They were both very knowledgeable and acutely aware of the market. I am happy that we bought our beautiful waterfront holiday home through Mark and Andrew and together with my husband Brian, we wish them both every success. Carolyn and Brian Ward.

Sonya & Rob- Biggera Waters

Very professional, communication was excellent and worked very hard to get an outcome.

Simon S- Broadbeach

The whole buying process from beginning to end was a great experience. I found Mark to be responsive, with great attention to detail and a relaxed attitude. He was particularly attentive to the ever-changing requirements of the covid crisis, for example he supplied a face mask, gloves and shoe covers when inspecting the property. Mark is a great salesman and was able to answer all of my questions honestly, which helped my confidence in purchasing the property. Mark not only has an excellent understanding of real estate in general, but of the whole settlement process. His help and advice during settlement went above and beyond what you would normally get. I would definitely use Mark again when buying or selling property in the Gold Coast. Thanks Mark!

Karen Small- Palm Beach

Ray White were very businesslike and competent in the sale of our block of units. Mark Stafford went above and beyond our expectations as an agent for Ray White. We were always informed and made to feel completely at ease with the whole auction process. Thanks Mark for a great experience, we cannot recommend him as an agent highly enough.

Brett Ulman

Mark was brilliant to deal with throughout the buying process. A true professional and gentleman. Would highly recommend him.

Leanne Westell- Broadbeach

I am not the type of person who participates in surveys but on this occasion I feel I need to make an exception. Mark has been so very professional and obliging during this throughout the difficult process of selling my deceased father's apartment. He has gone above and beyond to smooth over the bumps and he has my utmost appreciation to see it through to settlement in such a challenging environment. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mark to anyone considering selling.

Dr Shalu Kansal

Mark has gone above and buying the call of duty to make the sale process as seamless as possible. He has promptly responded to queries and efficiently communicated between vendor and buyer over the last few weeks. His honesty and professionalism have been impressive. Mark, thank you for such a delightful experience during such stressful times. Best wishes, SJ.

Annabelle Brooks

Hi Mark, Thanks for your call just now in relation to Tanjenong Place, Burleigh Heads and for inquiring how I was going with my search. I’m delighted with the property at Banora Point and so happy with your feedback regarding that area. I just wanted to let you know that over the course of the last 6 weeks I have dealt with probably about 50 agents and that you have really stood out as being someone who was great to deal with, genuinely interested in assisting me and understanding my price range and criteria and making yourself available in person and on the phone. Whilst I’m terribly pleased with the house in Banora Point, I have generally speaking been relatively underwhelmed with the whole process and particularly with the various agents that I’ve dealt with and you were certainly an exception. All the best and once again many thanks,

Ewald Ler'che

Hi Mark Just a note to thank for you for your role as agent for our sale. From your advice as to how to market, your overseeing of the marketing material right to the negotiations on our behalf with the purchaser we felt your personal approach at all times very reassuring.

Warren & Danielle

My initial contact with Mark was at an open house, while we said the property wasnt in our budget range, Mark kept contact in a friendly and non pushy way to keep the interest in the house going. He came across as a honest agent doing the best he could for the seller. I thought that if I ever sold a house that he would be a good agent to use. I wasnt disappointed by the level of service a I received from Mark, he lived up to my expectations.

Very good agent. We recently purchased a property through Mark. During the process we found him to be extremely approachable and always willing to help.

Ron & Joan- Reedy Creek

When we needed to sell a Gold Coast property we could not travel to the Coast. Mark handled everything and communicated constantly with us via email and phone. By the time we got back home the deal was completed and money in the bank- And he managed to get the price we needed! Best Real Estate experience we've had!

Jeremy Green- Burleigh Waters

Very pleased with the work Mark did. No nonsense approach and a very different experience compared with other agents that I have done business with.

Robert & Lisa Khan

In all my years of buying and selling houses I have never felt compelled to write about a Real Estate agents performance however in this instance you went over and above what we were expecting and not only made this deal happen but provided a compassionate, patient and well communicated service. You did not pressure us to accept any deal and instead just interpreted our feelings and presented us at all time the facts rather than pushing us into any offer. Being an out-of-town seller, we had certain concerns but your performance as our advocate was a true blessing and comfort. This deal, as you know, almost did not happen. Had it not been for your commitment to us and your tenacity to make it happen, we would not have sold our house. Thank you again Mark for who you are in the world and for all your hard work.

Valda Schulz

Mark Stafford told us he could sell at a price we wanted and he did so with a minimum of fuss. The first client through the house purchased and we didn't even have to advertise or have an open house. At all times we found Mark to be courteous and very professional. He was available by phone whenever we needed answers to any questions. Thanks Mark

Tony Corlass

Val loved the photos of her home that you presented her with and has the large, framed one hung in her room at the hostel. Your thoughtfulness was much appreciated, but from my point of view your professionalism, enthusiasm and hard work to get her property sold at above her asking price, and in a short timeframe, were even more impressive. As you know, when Val asked me to organise the sale of her home, I approached four agents in the district and asked them for their assessment of the property and their proposed approach to selling it. Your enthusiastic and considered approach to the task impressed and, when given the job, you delivered. I appreciated the way you communicated promptly with me throughout the sale and addressed the concerns we had along the way. Thank you.

Brian & Ngaire Hersee

Brian and I would have no hesitation in recommending Mark Stafford from Ray White Burleigh Waters for selling your home. It was a pleasure to welcome him into our home each week with his reports on our open house, he kept us very well informed but most importantly for us he believed in the price we were asking for our much loved home and he worked very hard to achieve the best he could for us. Thank you Mark, and good selling in the future.

David Salta

In August 2013 I had the pleasure of meeting Mark Stafford. Mark acted as my Real Estate agent in the sale of my property in Burleigh Heads. From the outset, Mark was honest and totally up front in every way. Mark's hard work and tenacity regarding the marketing of my property quickly paid off in the form of a quick sale. The quality of Mark's work during the sale of my house was perfect. Mark acted exactly as I would hope from a Real Estate agent, which I think is a rare find. It is my pleasure to highly recommend Mark Stafford. I could not have possibly been any happier with his work ethic and performance. I will employ Mark's services again without hesitation and look forward to working with him again.

Denis & Sylvia Eivers

From our initial meeting with Mark and his colleague Jared Hodge, we were impressed by the knowledge and professionalism displayed. The outstanding advice given by these two highly motivated Realtors was crucial for us in gaining an understanding of the local property market and forming a sales strategy that would be viable, realistic and achievable. Our first impression was a key factor in choosing a Realtor to sell our property and we are very glad we chose Mark. His communication skills are outstanding and we felt that Mark really understood our needs. It soon became apparent that Mark is also ethical, hardworking and diligent as evidenced by the way he applied himself to our sales campaign. Mark is an active listener who goes above and beyond the call of duty to achieve positive results and engages in meaningful interaction with clients by displaying honesty and integrity in his business practices. These traits inspire confidence and encourage trust from his clients, as was the case with us. Respectful of the wishes of both buyer and seller, Mark's negotiating skills secured a buyer after the first "Open House". This is an exceptional result - one that far exceeded our expectations and is proof of Mark's skills as a Realtor. Regardless of whether you are buying or selling a property, we highly recommend the services of Mark Stafford.

Tim & Danielle Roberts

We recently sold our house through Mark Stafford. We found Mark to be an excellent agent and will be recommending him to any one of our friends who decide to sell their house. During our dealings with Mark he was always professional, polite and honest. He worked extremely hard and was contactable seven days a week. He provided us with weekly meetings and written reports of all enquiries relating to our property which we found great to be so well informed. Mark is an agent who is willing and happy to go to extra lengths to help out his clients and his buyers and is a person who can be trusted. After our dealings with other Agents we would have to say Mark is definitely a 'cut above the rest'!

Michael & Tiffany Grundy

It was a refreshing surprise the afternoon that we met Mark Stafford from Ray White Burleigh Waters, who showed us through a local property. My husband and I are very good judges of character and after the viewing both commented on how honest, decent and genuine we found Mark to be. Shortly after, our circumstances changed and it was time to sell and move on. The easiest part for us was choosing an agent to sell our home. We had already discussed that when we were ready to sell we would get Mark to be our agent. It was a good decision because from the intial phone call to Mark the whole process was smooth, stress-free, and ultimately rapidly successful. Nothing was too difficult for Mark and he attended to our every need and answered every question with honesty and integrity. Our home sold in 5 days. That in itself is amazing but he was humble and modest – there was never one of those signs out the front blaring "sold in 5 days!"

Joe Murray

This is just a short email to say thanks for your efforts in selling my father's unit on the Gold Coast. I really appreciated your honesty and the amount of work you put into getting a result. I know it was just a small job for you but the way you looked after us and your attention to detail made the whole process much easier for me, particularly as I was trying to arrange this from Melbourne. I know it was a difficult situation for you with me located interstate leaving you to do a lot of the legwork on the Gold Coast with my elderly incapacitated father, but I have to say you and your team did all that I could have asked and more. Thank you once again and please pass on my thanks to Jared and all the others that were involved.
