STONE real estate has opened its doors in the region, and it\u2019s being headed by two local directors with their eyes on the now, and the future.<\/p>\n
Jarrod Cloke and Samantha Prince have brought their nearly 20 years\u2019 experience in the Ballarat and district real estate market and teamed up with Stone, a New South Wales based firm, to open the agency\u2019s third Victorian office.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe joined with Stone to grow our careers,\u201d Mrs Prince said. \u201cWe spoke briefly about setting something up on our own, then we explored it, and Stone became an obvious choice.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey had the same vision we had,\u201d added Mr Cloke. \u201cWe looked at a couple of different brands that we thought would suit what we were after, so we engaged with Stone, and they engaged back and it\u2019s gone from there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joining with Stone brings more than just a growing real estate brand, Mr Cloke and Ms Prince said the firm gives them the backing of a modern, progressive partnership.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe knew from that first meeting they were definitely something we wanted to explore,\u201d Mrs Prince said. \u201cThey have been excellent when it comes to business setup. In terms of real estate, Jarrod and I know everything back-to-front, in terms of starting a business, we needed support, which they gave us from day one.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey also provide so much training, not just to us as business owners but to staff down the track.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of Stone\u2019s key points of difference is the uniform and progressive digital offering and online presence.<\/p>\n
Every firm does floor plans and marketing shots when selling your property. Stone takes that to the next level with 2 and 3D layouts and tools that allow for interactivity.<\/p>\n
Want to know if your couch or fridge will fit into your dream home? Stone\u2019s online tools can show you if they will. Wonder if the kitchen will look better with a different coloured splashback? Stone\u2019s tools can do that as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m probably a little bit bias but I think Stone\u2019s marketing is phenomenal,\u201d Mr Cloke said. \u201cThe whole point is we want you to fall in love with the property before you even visit it.\u201d<\/p>\n
When it comes to traditional marketing of your property, Stone\u2019s got that covered too.
\nDisplay boards come standard and the photos of your home, commercial or industrial asset are treated with brand continuity and respect.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s regardless of whether you\u2019re selling a $200,000 fixer-upper in Magpie or a $2 million waterfront home in Wendouree.<\/p>\n
