Capturing far-reaching views of the escarpment, this as-new residence by G. J. Gardner Homes embraces a pristine modern Hamptons feel within a generous single level floorplan. Listed by agents Paul Piacentin and Matthew Kasbarian this gorgeous home was absolutely adored by it’s owners in a family friendly neighbourhood, when it sold it was a bittersweet moment. The property had high levels of interest throughout the auction campaign and on auction day it had multiple bidders selling for $1,032,000.

Fantastic result by agents Paul and Matthew, congratulations.

The rental market is still proving to hold well with our Property Management department having another great month. The team will be welcoming a new starter in December 2021 who will be covering Gemma Hay as she gets ready to go on maternity leave and welcome her baby girl. The PM team have also enjoyed returning back to the office as restrictions have eased and been able to touch base with their valued clients.

This family home captures breath taking views of Lake Illawarra, the ocean and escarpment beyond from the high side of a premier street. Offering immense appeal this home impressed the rental market as soon as it went live. Listed by agent Darnell Haselau this home sparked hot interest setting a new suburb record for a 3 bedroom rental. It was listed for $595 per week and was leased at $650 per week all within four days of hitting the market.

Darnell is continually delivering exceptional results for his clients, congratulations on another fantastic result.

A rising associate to watch Emily Bolton has been making a huge impact in the northern suburbs of the Illawarra working alongside Angela Bolton the two are doing some incredible things. Recently leading the entire campaign for 604/3 Rawson Street, Wollongong, achieving incredible results for her clients, she is definitely one to watch.

The New Normal The last two years have definitely been different to what many of us would have imagined. With the pandemic hitting the world and affecting us in ways that cannot be described it is finally nice to see restrictions ease and a new normal returning. We are happy to say the office has welcomed staff back to the workplace that are fully vaccinated and opened the doors to the public who are fully vaccinated.

The Christmas Holidays are coming It would be safe to say that we are looking forward to a Christmas break this year. Our office will be taking a break from Thursday 23rd December 2021 5:00pm and will be returning Monday 10th January 2022 9:00am. We hope everyone has a lovely and safe break over the Christmas and New Year Period.

A husband and wife duo you will adore Greg and Helena Crumpton joined Stone in July 2020 in the midst of a world pandemic. They decided to make the move to the South Coast from

Western Sydney, and since joining they have been doing fantastic things and shaking up the real estate game in Kiama. When you hear people say ‘their approach is different’ most people ask how different can the real estate approach be, but let us assure you it can. Greg and Helena are there with you for the entire journey not only as your real estate agent but a genuine friend who strives to achieve the very best for you. Each campaign is tailored to the property and it’s client from early morning shoots to evening twilight videos the Crumpton’s go above and beyond.

They state that once you understand your client and become their friend rather than their agent you have gained their trust and the rest becomes smooth sailing and that’s all you could want.

A highlight of their record sales Enjoying every moment of what they do they have been setting some new street and suburb records on the South Coast. It’s hard not to notice them in Kiama and the beautiful town is loving them.

91 Tingira Crescent, Kiama "The new crew who are captain-ing the Kiama market. Helena and Greg were the ultimate professionals. The most “non real estate” real-estate agents I have ever met.

They gave me confidence, comfort and the support you need". Tim - Vendor

72 Barton Drive, Kiama "We were about to accept an offer from our previous agent of 5 months, when we were introduced to Helena and Greg Crumpton. They were able to achieve an offer way in excess within two weeks of taking over our listing. Giving sound advice, attention to detail and focus on getting the job done. We now also consider them friends". Brett & Ann - Vendors

79 Headland Drive, Gerroa "I made the right decision and they worked beyond expectations to deliver a spectacular result. Head and shoulders above the rest, and they work hard for you. I totally recommend Team HG." Lyn—Vendor

Team member of the month Neil Webster is our star for the month of October. Neil is always delivering exceptional results to his clients and is smashing his professional goals. He also is always looking out for the teams and business, Congratulations Neil.

“Paul and Susie were fantastic to work with. Paul would keep me in the loop and constantly update me with information and give wise and strategic advise. His team worked tirelessly and at the auction were exceptional, working hard to secure a price well beyond what we thought we'd get. I have no hesitation recommending them to family and friends.”
