About Betty

A consummate professional with exceptional experience, Betty Ockerlander is a highly accomplished licensed sales agent and Principal at McGrath Epping. Dedicated and hardworking, Betty has spent over three decades providing buyers and sellers with impeccable customer service. Her local real estate journey began in 1994, leading to a highly successful independent agency from 1999 until 2014, when she partnered with McGrath. Guided by long-time mentor John McGrath, Betty has continued to thrive alongside John and now Kon in the high-performing North West team, consistently ranking as an industry leader. Crucial to her stellar track record is her dedicated, high-caliber support team, who meticulously manage everything from rapid buyer matching to flawless, end-to-end admin execution. This collaborative power leaves Betty completely free to focus 100% of her energy on active negotiation and direct vendor communication. Rather than using rigid "set-and-forget" marketing, Betty and her agile team treat every campaign as a dynamic strategy—constantly monitoring market data and real-time buyer feedback to proactively fine-tune presentation, pricing, and media placement. This combined elite focus regularly yields a phenomenal auction success rate exceeding 90%, complemented by lucrative off-market and pre-auction sales when advantageous. Celebrated for setting local price records, Betty's strategic precision and collaborative network power turn complex property transactions into seamless, lifelong client partnerships.

A dedicated, committed agent whose focus is your best interests.

In a difficult property market, Betty used her considerable negotiation skills to complete the sale. Her dedication was evident in her willingness to go above and beyond what could normally be expected. She answered and satisfied many queries from the purchaser and kept us fully informed of the process as it continued. Her professionalism was clear in all she did. Her whole team was excellent and took great care as they conducted the open homes. We were very pleased with the final result and the whole manner in which it was achieved.
