A Legacy Built on Service and Integrity — 1954 to 2025
💛
70 years, thousands of stories, one community.
Back in 1954, Harold J. Sternbeck AM took his first step into real estate — helping a client sell a property.
That small beginning grew into one of the district’s most respected agencies — and Harold into a man known for service, fairness, and integrity.
That same legacy has guided our family for more than 70 years, and today we close an incredible chapter.
✨ Sternbecks (formerly Sternbeck’s Real Estate) will be no more. ✨
We’ve made the heartfelt decision to on-sell our business, which, as of today, has merged under the Raine & Horne Kurri Kurri banner.
While the name and office will change, our trusted team will continue to serve our clients — proudly carrying forward the Sternbeck tradition.
💫 To the thousands of clients we’ve had the privilege to help — thank you.
Your loyalty, trust, and friendship have been the heartbeat of our business.
👩💼 To our wonderful staff, past and present — your care, commitment, and hard work have been the reason for every success.
And to Margaret, our General Manager — your steady hand, professionalism and tireless effort in bringing this transition together have been extraordinary.
👨👩👧👦 To my family — thank you for the patience, understanding and quiet support that’s carried me through countless late nights, weekends, and big decisions.
We’ve been proud to serve this community — through property sales, auctions, livestock markets, sponsorships, and local causes.
Our story has always been about people, pride and purpose.
As we hang up our shingle, our hearts are heavy but full.
One of my family said, “I don’t know how to feel.”
My answer was simple:
💬 “Be proud.”
And proud we are — of what we built, who we’ve served and the community we’ve loved for more than seven decades.
Thank you and farewell
