Real estate reimagined

Yamba’s real estate scene is evolving. After redefining holiday management with Oceanstays, Kristy McGrath has expanded her vision through the sales arm of the business operating under ‘Pilot Hill’.

Under the Pilot Hill banner, Kristy brings the same high-performance ethos that built Oceanstays’ reputation for care and results. With marketing grounded in insight, communication built on trust and negotiation driven by strategy, Pilot Hill is setting a new standard for how regional real estate is done.

A fresh approach

At Pilot Hill we see sales differently. It’s not about publishing listings into the market and waiting for the right buyer. It’s about finding and converting them.

Our approach blends storytelling with strategy, connecting properties to people through authentic narratives, confident marketing and deliberate outreach. Each campaign is tailored, thoughtful and proactive.

Our team brings energy and real-world experience that extends beyond the sale sign. With personal investment portfolios spanning residential, rural and commercial assets, we understand property from every angle. As owners, investors and negotiators, that insight shapes how we market, price and position homes for maximum impact and measurable results.

We’ve carried the same high-energy, results-driven ethos that made Oceanstays successful into the world of sales. Expect performance first, supported by attentive service and honest communication.

It’s real estate done differently, with fresh eyes, sharp instincts and a level of care that moves more than just the market.

Results that speak for themselves

  • 22 Bushy St

    The estate had been sitting quiet for months, with no sales and plenty of blocks left untouched. Then Pilot Hill stepped in and took a different approach.

    Rather than listing and waiting, Kristy McGrath reshaped the story and launched a proactive marketing campaign that turned an overlooked block into something buyers could actually imagine themselves in.

    What followed was a wave of genuine interest and a swift, standout result. A sale within four days at a price that delighted the owners.

  • Sea Breeze Cottage was already a standout performer under Oceanstays holiday management. Always booked, always beautifully reviewed. When its owners decided to sell, they initially listed with an established local agent, but after a few quiet months on the market, the property was withdrawn from sale.

    Looking for a more strategic approach, they turned to their managing Agent Kristy McGrath. Backed by decades of marketing and property investment experience, Kristy developed a campaign that combined strategy, storytelling and precision targeting to reintroduce Sea Breeze Cottage to the market with fresh energy and focus.

    22 Yamba Rd

    Through thoughtful copy, evocative imagery and well-timed negotiations, she positioned Sea Breeze Cottage not as a house, but as a lifestyle. Within two weeks, enquiry surged, two strong offers landed and the home sold for a price beyond the owners’ expectations.

Benefit from The Oceanstays Effect

We sell the lifestyle - because we deliver it.

Buyers aren’t just after square metres. They want slow breakfasts on the deck, afternoon swims and long weekends that feel like forever. We know how to market that because we do it every day. Our homes don’t sit on the market. They move, because they speak.

Your buyers are already in our network.

Thousands of holidaymakers stay with Oceanstays every year. Many are already dreaming of making it permanent. When you list with us, your home isn’t just seen - it’s remembered.
