As she says, “whether clients are seeking someone to manage their property, help them buy their first home or invest after retirement, people need honest, straight forward advice from a professional who has a genuine interest in them. Being humble is the key; I understand that each client will have specific needs that I will need to meet. That’s the job in a nutshell.
”Specialising in properties in Bowral and Burradoo, Anne’s high standard of professionalism makes McGrath a natural fit for her. As Anne says, “McGrath is the market leader when it comes to ensuring that the highest possible professional standards are met, and this is something I value enormously.”

testimonials
“Well what a surprise to receive a parcel. Thank you so much for your superb gift to us all, and especially a big thank you for the help and understanding you showed us during the time we were searching for a home. It is a stressful time, but your calmness and empathy got us through with flying colours! We look forward to showing you the house when a few more cartons are unpacked." Biddy, Jean Pierie and Sophie
"Thank you for selling our home in Burradoo.The auction price was above our expectations and you kept us fully updated during the entire selling period. We were also extremely happy that you achieved this result in such a short period of time with our property only 25 days on the market. Your professional advice and expertise on a strategy to achieve the best result helped ease our minds. You offered clear, logical recommendations to us. The entire sale process went smoothly and we thank you again for all your help. Both Ginny and I would recommend your services to our friends, colleagues and family." Adam Blake
"I have worked with Anne Stone at McGrath both as a property manager and as sales agent. Anne has always been professional in her approach and during the sales process kept me in the loop about progress of showings and final sale. She was also was methodical and strategic in how she priced and sold the property and knew the Bowral market well. I ended up selling my townhouse for well above that of any other in the same block. I’d be happy to recommend Anne as an agent." Carole McCormick
"We were delighted to hear that McGrath had 'come to Bowral' and with that a reputation of the highest standard. Within moments of meeting with Kathie Frost and Anne Stone we felt that the successful sale of our home was going to be a priority and that the burden of worry had been lifted from our shoulders. We were totally impressed by the professionalism, courtesy, enthusiasm and compassion of Kathie and Anne. We have known Kathie for a number of years and have always been impressed by her work ethic. Throughout the auction campaign any queries or concerns were handled quickly and positively. We were delighted that Kathie and Anne took the time to meet with us each week to discuss the preceding week-end’s inspections. Preparing a home for an Open for Inspection requires a lot of time, planning and effort so to read the personally written thank you card left for us each week-end, by Kathie and Anne, made us feel that they truly understood and appreciated the commitment required. We sold before auction and are eternally grateful for how Kathie negotiated the pre-auction sale. Kathie was in constant contact with us to keep us up to date with the negotiation and on the day of exchange we felt that Kathie had devoted every moment to us. We met with Kathie and Anne after the exchange and they were just as excited as were that our home had sold. We were also very appreciative that Scott Kennedy-Green visited our home to congratulate us on our sale. Selling our home with McGrath was truly successful on every level which, in our experience, is unparalleled in any other real estate practice." Andrew and Anna Hutchings
Selling a house in the Southern Highlands in times of economic uncertainty was always going to be a challenge and possibly a very stressful experience. Many houses linger on the market, sometimes for years! We were prepared to be patient despite Kathie’s reassurance that with the right pricing and marketing campaign we could expect our house to be sold speedily. The marketing was very exceptional and certainly resulted in good numbers at open houses.We exchanged contracts within three weeks; achieving a sale very close to our goal price. Kathie and Anne’s professionalism and regular communications were brilliant; with timely follow-up phone calls after inspections and relaying of all other pertinent information. They clearly know their business and the locality. At all times they were helpful, understanding and courteous. I highly recommend their services as they will get the job done efficiently and effectively; all with a sense of humour. The ‘McGrath’ experience was fantastic! Megan & Ron - Burradoo
