Woodrow Weight OBE Award

Winner: John McGrath - McGrath Estate Agents

The Woodrow Weight OBE Award is a lifetime achievement award in recognition of outstanding contribution to the NSW real estate industry.

"It is an absolute privilege to be giving this award to a person who has made an exceptional contribution to the real estate industry in NSW," said REINSW President Steve Martin.

"John has worked extraordinarily hard, not only to improve his business but to raise the overall bar in real estate, particularly with regards to ethics and marketing."

John McGrath is now entering his 26th year in real estate having started as a letting clerk at age 19. He is the chief executive and founder of McGrath Estate Agents. John and his company have won many awards including the Prime Minister's Award for Excellence in Business Community Partnerships in the medium-business category for their philanthropic contribution to Father Chris Riley's Youth Off The Streets.

"Integrity and outstanding character is shown by John not only in his work but in his commitment to assisting people less fortunate than himself. I cannot think of a more deserving winner of this year's award," Mr Martin said.
