"We engaged Lee to sell our parent's home following a local recommendation; and we are very happy we did!
Lee was always well presented and very diligent and thorough with her communication throughout the sale process. The marketing campaign was very professional and achieved an outstanding and relatively quick sale, for which we were truly grateful. We would highly recommend Lee to any prospective vendor!"

"Lee was amazing to deal with when selling our home. Our house took just under 2 weeks to sell, and only one home open. We received a price ~30K higher than what the house was listed for! Lee and her team were always highly responsive and efficient when we texted, emailed or phoned them with any concerns or queries. We would highly recommend Lee and Merrifield Realty to family and friends who are selling their home."

"When we first met Lee we were immediately impressed with her warm personal approach, which immediately made us both feel confident in selecting her and her team at Merrifield."
L. Holmes, 12 September, 2023
"Lee's performance and professionalism as an estate agent far exceeded our expectations. The agency valuation of our property was inline with my own research, however Lee was still able to achieve a sale price significantly above our advertised asking. From the beginning we were surprised with how well Lee communicated with us and how well she was supported in the agency. This no doubt contributed to an offer being presented to us in only 3 days. Would highly recommend Lee and Merrifield."

"Lee was well informed of market issues. She explained lots of issues regarding selling and purchasing which were helpful as we had sold our property in Shark Bay and were looking to return to Albany. We knew which areas we were interested in and Lee was aware of where we wished to find a home. She was professional at all times and because of the distance factor for us Lee was always available any time by phone, text or email. Lee presents as a well groomed lovely lady who knows her profession."

"Lee Stonell, agent extraordinaire , was recommended to me by a good and trusted friend, himself experienced in property and a shrewd assessor of character and capacity. His recommendation was a God-send.
Lee is a person of high integrity, sound experience and with great ability. She is affable, empathetic and fair to both sides of any transaction, fostering a deal that both parties are very happy with. Lee regularly and competently communicated with all the parties participating in the sale process, those behind the scene as well as the main actors. Sometimes she calmly reminded people; sometimes she respectfully pushed. In my case, living in Perth, it was a boon to have great confidence in Lee keen sense of property value and market conditions. Clients certainly benefit from her helping them stay with the bounds of reality. I very much valued her sound advice. Lee engaged with 35 potential buyers for this property, arranging inspections, and accurately responding to any issues or concerns. Her flexible, stress-free modus operandi is a great benefit.
I observed that Lee is able to efficiently and effectively facilitate the processes needed by the multiple ancillary parties including lenders, settlement and any other real estate agencies, and tradespeople. She encouraged patience and wisdom when the finance path for the agreed buyers became briefly a bit bumpy. It was important to me that this tourist strata property be sold to folk who, as good neighbours, would be a blessing to the strata, increasing its pool of skill, experience and knowledge. Lee was able to foster and support the buyers through the short-term delays so both the price and the intangible objective were achieved. It was a very satisfying, fun process overall and we got to a good resolution and sale.
I am very pleased and thankful for my friend's excellent recommendation. Lee was everything as a person and an agent that he spoke of, and more. Thank you Lee. Your mission statement is a true representation of your work and way. I am looking forward to you soon working on the next property sale for me!
May you thrive greatly and be a blessing to many."
