    Stone Strengthens Central Coast Presence

    Stone strengthens Central Coast presence with rent roll acquisition and Wyong office expansion

    Stone Real Estate has strengthened its presence on the Central Coast through the acquisition of the Brand Property The Entrance rent roll, with its Wyong office also relocating to a larger premises as part of the group’s continued growth in the region.

    The acquisition marks an exciting new chapter for Principal Abdullah Choudhari and his growing business, following the transition of Brand Property The Entrance, a highly respected local agency owned by the Lamont family. With deep roots in the Central Coast community and a strong reputation for delivering exceptional service, the Lamont family have built a trusted business that Abdullah and his team will continue to build upon as part of the Stone network.

    The move reinforces Stone’s position across both sales and property management in the local market. With greater scale, broader coverage and the backing of Stone’s wider systems and network, the business is well placed for its next phase of growth. The relocation of the Wyong office to a larger premises will also help support increasing demand and the continued growth of the business as more agents look to join the group.

    Stone Real Estate Head of Franchise Luke Cameron said the acquisition reflected the brand’s continued focus on strategic growth and partnering with strong operators in key markets.

    “This acquisition is a fantastic outcome for Stone and an important step in our continued growth on the Central Coast,” Mr Cameron said. “Brand Property The Entrance has built an outstanding reputation in the local community under the ownership of the Lamont family, and we’re proud to see that legacy continue as Abdullah and his team take the business forward.”

    “It allows us to further strengthen our offering across property management while supporting the continued expansion of Abdullah’s group in the region.”

    “The relocation of the Wyong office to a larger premises is another exciting part of this next phase and highlights the confidence we have in Abdullah and his team. It reflects the strong demand in the market and the momentum they are building as they continue to attract agents who want to be part of their growth.”

    Mr Choudhari said the acquisition was a natural next step for his business and would allow the group to further elevate its service offering across the region.

    “We’re excited to continue building our presence and welcome experienced team members into our broader group,” Mr Choudhari said. “Brand Property The Entrance has been a respected name on the Central Coast, and we’re honoured to continue the strong foundations established by the Lamont family while bringing the benefits of the Stone network to clients.”

    “This acquisition allows us to strengthen our property management capability and continue delivering the high level of service our clients have come to expect.”

    “The move to a larger Wyong office is also an important part of that growth. It puts us in an even better position to support our clients, accommodate increasing demand and continue building a business that attracts high-quality agents who want to be part of what we’re creating.”

    The acquisition ensures continuity for existing clients while introducing the benefits of Stone’s broader network, systems and support. It also represents a continued investment in the Central Coast market, with a strong focus on delivering exceptional outcomes for landlords, tenants, buyers and sellers.
