Group principal Kon Stathopoulos welcomed leading agents Betty Ockerlander and Teena Vaughan from McGrath Epping and Nick Bedford and Belinda Hill from McGrath Beecroft, as partners in their respective offices.
Each office will bring their entire staff into the McGrath West Group which now comprises seven highly successful businesses – Parramatta, Blacktown, Northwest, Castle Hill, Hawkesbury, Beecroft and Epping.
Mr Stathopoulos sees it as a logical move expanding the network of offices across Sydney’s vast north-west region.
“We see a lot of migration of buyers and sellers across our existing footprint and into the Epping and Beecroft markets,” he said.
“It makes sense for us to be able to collaborate to better serve our clients.
“Epping and Beecroft BDAs are a natural addition to our Northwest and Hills offices, providing a seamless experience for our clients whether it be buying, selling, leasing or renting.
“Adding Epping and Beecroft to the existing group is attractive to our business because of the quality of the people within those teams,” Mr Stathopoulos said.
“They are led by the best of the best in Betty Ockerlander, Teena Vaughan, Nick Bedford and Belinda Hill.
“These industry leaders are highly regarded in their markets and totally committed, along with their staff, to achieving the best for their clients.”
The Epping market has seen a 7 per cent increase in house values over the past 12 months.
With a median house price of $2,688,000, it sits well above the Sydney-wide house median of $1.6 million.
The suburb’s median price for units is $808,000, up 1.3 per cent since October 2024.
Beecroft shares a similar house median at $2,568,000 following a rise of 4.8 per cent over the year.
Both suburbs are favoured by families for their leafy neighbourhoods, excellent schools, rail networks and strong communities.
Buyers often cite school catchment zones as a reason to move into the suburbs.
Continued investment in roads and infrastructure in the Epping-Beecroft area ensures future growth as speed of access to Sydney’s CBD and across the west, increases.
“Within this corridor we see a good mix of investment, off-the-plan and period homes for first home buyers, up-sizers and downsizers,” Mr Stathopoulos said .
“We are seeing daily crossover of these categories across our existing markets and our new regions.”
