    "Schwarz Real Estate has worked for me very successfully. Vanessa Longo managed an investment apartment for me for some years now: always thorough, attentive, quick to respond, friendly, gets things done. When I decided to sell it made sense to use the team at Schwarz. Cranston worked hard, got it done quickly and smoothly, at a good price. He kept in touch frequently so I knew what was going on. Happy to recommend him and his company."

  • Mark & Vanessa Bernardo

    Cranston was a standout agent from the first meeting. He knew the area intimately, and was available to answer the many questions that we had as a first time seller. Explained the process clearly and confidently and communicated with us several times a week to keep us up to date on the progress. The most impressive part of the service was that he would contact every single person that viewed our property after the inspections, and would provide us with a detailed report, every week. As a potential home buyer as well, I know that not all agents do this. Cranston also has a lot of third party contacts that were all very professional as well and this made the whole process of selling very simple. Highly recommended.

  • Louise CollieNeutral Bay
