Stone Real Estate has welcomed experienced property professional Ray Talati as co-principal of its Wahroonga Turramurra office, marking a strategic addition to the agency’s expanding footprint across Sydney’s upper north shore.

With more than 11 years of industry experience and over $500 million in transactions, Talati joins Stone alongside his trusted team members Jessica West and Shawn Yuan. He will work in partnership with existing co-principals Susan Astridge and Joey Hoover.

To date, Talati has assisted more than 540 clients across his career. He said the opportunity to take on business ownership and join a high-performing, values-driven team played a key role in his decision.

“Joining Stone Real Estate Wahroonga Turramurra is an exciting new chapter for me. Business ownership has always been one of my long-term goals,” Talati said.

“Stone is an amazing brand and one that allows us to implement our vision while being part of a well-known and respected company.”

Talati also praised the culture established by Astridge and Hoover. “Susan and Joey have created a culture built on integrity, performance, and genuine care for clients. I’m thrilled to partner with them; not only are they brilliant agents, but they are also amazing people.”

Talati’s team brings a diverse skill set and established industry recognition. West was recently awarded REA’s Support Superstar of the Year in 2024, while Yuan brings a decade of sales experience and multilingual fluency in Mandarin and Cantonese an asset in the region’s multicultural marketplace.

The appointment forms part of Stone Real Estate’s broader growth strategy in the Sydney market, with a focus on aligning experienced agents with leadership opportunities and long-term business development.

Astridge said Talati’s arrival was a natural fit.

“We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Ray. He shares our values and brings fresh energy, strategic thinking, and a client-first mindset that aligns perfectly with how we work,” she said.

“This partnership is an exciting step forward.”
