Selling a home can mean weeks of decisions about repairs, inspections and offers, but for our readers who voted for Bianca Stubbs Real Estate, having someone they felt comfortable calling along the way was part of the appeal.
Bianca Stubbs topped this week’s Best of Redlands & Bayside real estate poll and readers praised her for being approachable and giving people room to make decisions without pressure.
One voter described her as “kind, not pushy and so helpful”, while another said both they and their family had used her services.
Before going into real estate, Bianca spent nearly 20 years as a local primary school teacher, and now leads Bianca Stubbs Real Estate, which handles sales across the Redlands, including in Capalaba, Thornlands, Cleveland and Alexandra Hills.
Their reviews give a sense of what clients valued at different stages of a sale, one Thornlands acreage seller praised Bianca for recommending tradespeople and other professionals to help prepare the property for market.
Another seller said she was easy to reach when small issues cropped up and gave timely advice when they needed it.
Buyers highlighted what happened after the deal was agreed, a Thornlands buyer writing on RateMyAgent said Bianca Stubbs responded promptly throughout settlement.
A first-home buyer, in a Google review published on the agency’s website, said Bianca continued to offer advice and recommendations even after settlement.
Ben Tafolo, nominated by readers under Tafolo Realty, finished second, with reviews saying he gave practical advice without putting them under pressure and recommended tradespeople when needed.
Stephanie Marshall of Harcourts Property Centre Wellington Point came third, with one buyer who reviewed her saying she kept them updated, answered their questions quickly and made them feel heard even though she was representing the seller.
