Stephen provides a comforting approach in the fast-paced world of real estate with his steadying influence, supportive nature and clear communication style.
To buy or sell a home can be one of the most stressful and challenging times in a person’s life. Stephen provides a comforting approach in the fast-paced world of real estate with his steadying influence, supportive nature and clear communication style. Whilst he is an award-winning auctioneer it’s his strategic focus and highly developed negotiation skills that truly set him apart and underpin his outstanding results.
Priding himself on his ethics and leadership skills as he manages a new generation of real estate agents focused on client service, Stephen brings commitment, dedication and focus to whatever he does. Stephen’s track record is a testament to his ability to achieve outcomes that delight his clients and provide experiences where they feel completely comfortable.
In a past career including postgraduate studies in Italy and Wales, Stephen enjoyed a 20-year journey performing tenor lead roles around the world, on many occasions before heads of state and royalty. The stage has held Stephen in good stead for his role as an accomplished auctioneer. With effervescent enthusiasm, he effortlessly disarms any crowd, connecting with individuals and telling the story of each home he handles.
Stephen loves raising his four children in Bayside. An ambassador for the Create Foundation, assisting young people to transition from out-of-home care, and former board member for the Australian International Opera Award, Stephen is always willing to lend his time and voice, whether singing or auctioneering, for community or charity purposes.
Stephen was referred from a close friend and from the moment we engaged Stephen, we felt assured he was solely focussed on achieving the best result for the sale of our home. Despite not being an agent local to our home location, through his guidance and savvy campaigning we sold our home for a great price within days of being ready to list. We couldn't be happier with our experience with Stephen and Marshall White Bayside.
The decision to sell the family home in which you lived for over 16 years and its replacement with a smaller home which cannot accommodate everything you gathered over 60 years of marriage is a difficult emotional and confusing one. This is made more difficult by some estate agents who feed you confusing and sometimes misleading facts.
Dealing with Stephen Smith from Marshall White made the whole process simple, the objectives were clearly defined and realistic and we were updated during the campaign. The good results achieved in both the selling and buying process were due to the hard work and enthusiasm he has shown all the time. He was available 24 hours a day, always answered immediately all our calls, regardless of the time of the day. His advice was clear and to the point never pushed us one way or another. What was particularly pleasing and maybe unexpected was his interest and help well after the signing of the contracts, he always made sure that things were progressing as planned.
Stephen is not only a delightful and pleasant person but also a very honest, helpful, hard working gentleman. I wish there were many like him!
After two recent failed settlements on our Brighton home my wife Karan and I turned to Marshall White to make a third attempt at a successful outcome. After a short marketing campaign a most satisfactory contract has been signed. Furthermore, Stephen Smith, the principal agent handling the contract has enabled Karan and I to purchase another Brighton home that we were particularly keen to obtain. He even managed to arrange the same settlement date.
Both Karan and I have found Stephen, Barbara and all the supporting agents and staff at Marshall White particularly sensitive to all our needs and meticulously thorough in keeping us fully informed on the progress of interest in the property.We have found them to be highly professional and very personable to deal with. These sentiments are echoed by dear friends who have recently sold their Brighton golden mile property through Marshall White.

Stephen Smith is an absolute pleasure to deal with. His knowledge of the market at any particular time, his professionalism, his reliability and his honesty made the process of selling our home a breeze. Not only did he exceed our every expectation, he sold our house the week before the auction campaign was to begin. We cannot recommend him more highly!

Working with the team at Marshall White made selling my property simple and painless. Stephen clearly has a thorough knowledge of the high end apartment market in and around the Melbourne CBD and by patiently talking me through the pros and cons of different options gave me confidence to determine the best approach to market my place. Of course, the team in the office are also critical - helping ensure that the documentation is completed on time, monitoring website activity and responding to whatever is needed - paperwork was always provided promptly and I never had to chase for anything. I am very happy with the exposure the property had to a wide potential buying audience and also, importantly, the final sale outcome. My thanks to the team.
Andrew and I wanted to sincerely thank you both for an incredible campaign for 2 Foster Street St Kilda. Your advice and guidance was excellent throughout and your read on the market, clear communication and thoughtful and committed approach to bringing home a strong result was just fantastic. We chose Marshall White as agents for our house because of the outstanding support we received as buyers of 22 Halifax Street Brighton and the quality of your work only exceeded our expectations.
We look forward to going out of our way in recommending you to family and friends.
The stage has primed Stephen for his role in the real estate world. He is now one of Victoria’s leading auctioneers, negotiators and premium property experts, based in the Bayside area.
