McConnell Bourn is an independent Sydney real estate agency, built on the belief that real estate is about people, not just property.
Since our first office opened in Lindfield in May 2000, we've built a reputation for local expertise, personalised service and lasting client relationships, with sales and property management teams sharing what they know.
Today, four local offices across the North Shore, Green Square, Macquarie Park and the Hills District bring that approach to their own neighbourhoods. We combine specialist advice, strategic marketing and genuine care, and our refreshed brand marks a new chapter of growth built on the same people-first approach.

Our Story
On our way
In May 2000, McConnell Bourn opened its first office in Lindfield, on Sydney's North Shore.
In May 2000, McConnell Bourn opened its first office in Lindfield, on Sydney's North Shore. It was a modest start, but the idea behind it was clear: real estate is about people, not just property. Over time, clients came to know us for honest advice, genuine local knowledge and the care we took to understand what they wanted.
That belief has shaped the way we work. Every property and every client is different, so we take the time to understand individual goals before recommending a strategy. We back that advice with local market knowledge, property data and the experience of people who know these neighbourhoods well. We also explain our reasoning, so you understand not just what we recommend, but why.
Our teams work together rather than in silos. Sales, property management, marketing and support specialists share what they know, so the person you speak to has the benefit of everyone's experience. Whether you're buying, selling, renting or investing, you're never dealing with just one person. It's a collaborative approach, and it's helped us build long-standing relationships with our clients.
More than 25 years on, we've grown from that first office into four, across the North Shore, Green Square, Macquarie Park and the Hills District. Each area has its own rhythm, from apartments in Waterloo to family homes in the Hills. Each team knows its neighbourhoods well, and between us we speak English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Persian and Arabic.
We're proud of the things that don't show up in a sales result: the trust our clients place in us, the connections we've built in our communities, and the culture of our team. We've long supported local schools, sporting clubs and charitable organisations, because these are our neighbourhoods too.
Today, a refreshed brand marks our next chapter, and it's an exciting time to be part of McConnell Bourn. Our ambition isn't simply to grow bigger. It's to become Sydney's most respected independent real estate agency, recognised for the quality of our advice, our people and our outcomes, while keeping the personal service and community connections that began in Lindfield.
Questions
The things people ask us most
Can’t see your question here? A two-minute phone call usually sorts it out, and there is no obligation waiting on the other side of it.
Our four offices cover the North Shore, Waterloo and Green Square, Macquarie Park and the Hills District. If your property sits outside these neighbourhoods and you would still like an opinion, ask anyway: we will either help, or point you to someone who will.
It depends on the property, the street and what buyers are doing right now. Request an appraisal and a local specialist will review your home, explain the range they expect and show you the recent sales behind it.
There isn't one answer. It depends on your plans as much as on the market, so we'll talk you through current conditions in your area and what they could mean for your timing, whether that's this season or next year.
Each suits different properties and goals. We'll recommend an approach based on your property, your timing and what's happening locally, then explain the reasons behind it so you can make the final call.
Look for local knowledge, honest advice and clear communication. Ask how they reached their view of your property, whether you'll deal with one person or a whole team, and how often you'll hear from them. It's advice we're proud to follow ourselves.
Speak to your solicitor or conveyancer about the contract before auction day, and have your finance ready. An agent can explain how the auction will run, how bidding works and what to expect on the day.
Your property manager builds a plan around your property and your goals, then looks after tenant selection, inspections, maintenance, rent reviews and vacancies. You'll get regular, proactive updates and a quick response when you need us, so you always know where things stand
