Southern Tasmania – Stone Real Estate proudly announces the opening of its first office in Tasmania, expanding its footprint into Southern Tasmania with a focus on lifestyle, residential and rural properties. This new location aims to serve the unique property needs of the Southern Tasmanian community.
Wendy Wade, a highly accomplished and respected real estate professional with over 16 years of experience, leads this new office. Over the years, Wendy has built a reputation for excellence and success, first honing her skills in an administrative role before launching her own franchise eight years ago. She chose Margate as her base, recognising its appeal for those seeking a lifestyle of the properties in Southern Tasmania, with a local presence in the Kingborough, Channel and Huan Valley regions. Wendy’s deep understanding of the area and her proven track record make her the ideal leader to bring Stone’s distinctive approach to Southern Tasmania.
“I chose Stone Real Estate because of their advanced property marketing tools and comprehensive training programs for my team across both sales and property management,” said Wendy Wade. “The one national database also provides a powerful advantage, allowing us to serve our clients more effectively and with greater reach. I’m thrilled to bring the Stone experience to Southern Tasmania, combining local expertise with Stone’s industry-leading resources to contribute to the region’s real estate landscape.”

The team comprises three other staff members residing in Margate and one from the Huon Valley, all dedicated to supporting and engaging with their local communities. This foundation in local expertise is further enhanced by a rural specialist with an extensive farming background, adding valuable insight and support for clients with rural property needs.
Graeme Hyde, Chief Performance Officer at Stone Real Estate, expressed his enthusiasm for this expansion: “It’s incredibly exciting to see Stone Real Estate expanding into Tasmania, and we’re thrilled to welcome Wendy and her team to the network. The Stone Technology Eco-System will be a game-changer, empowering Wendy and her team to provide top-tier service across both residential and rural property sectors. We look forward to seeing how this technology supports their local expertise and strengthens their community connections.”
Luke Cameron, Head of Franchise, shared his excitement about Wendy’s decision to join Stone Real Estate: “We are honoured that Wendy has chosen Stone as the next step in her career journey, and we’re confident she’ll be a pioneer for the Stone brand in Tasmania. Her passion and commitment to the local community make her an ideal leader to introduce Stone’s unique approach in the region. It’s an exciting time for us, especially with the upcoming launch of Stone Real Estate in New Zealand, further extending our reach and influence.”
With Stone Real Estate’s expansion into Tasmania, the network looks forward to establishing a lasting presence in the state. The new office is positioned to deliver a personalised approach to property management, backed by Stone’s dedication to service excellence. This expansion presents a significant opportunity for Stone Real Estate to foster growth in both sales and property management across Southern Tasmania.
