REAL ESTATE'S JOHN MCGRATH WINS LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Released 20 October 2008 

John McGrath from McGrath Estate Agents received the prestigious Woodrow Weight OBE Award at the NSW real estate industry's night of nights held Saturday at Darling Harbour.  

The Woodrow Weight OBE Award is a lifetime achievement award in recognition of outstanding contribution to the NSW real estate industry. The award winner is decided by the REINSW President and is kept secret until the REINSW Awards Dinner, attended by more than 600 agents where awards are announced for 23 categories of real estate professionals from across the state.

"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.

"The 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.

On the night, Mr McGrath thanked REINSW for being a constant source of support and information, and he encouraged agents to ensure they remain members of this highly-regarded professional association.
