Australia’s top real estate agents revealed

Property sales may have slowed, but there is a select group of real estate agents producing record sales and making more money than ever before.

Property sales have slowed since interest rates began to rise last year, but a select group of real estate agents have defied the market slump with record deals and some are making more money than ever before.

Exclusive realestate.com.au data showed multiple agents were achieving average sales prices above $7 million, with some pushing through more than 100 property sales within the span of a year.

It comes as property experts revealed the luxury sales market has been red hot over the past year as cashed up expats and foreign buyers return to Australia following the end of Covid restrictions.

There has also been a resurgence in demand from wealthy local buyers for “lifestyle” properties near beaches and coastal areas.

It’s an environment that’s driven up prices for luxury mansions – and behind each deal has been a hard working agent doing the negotiations.

Some of these agents facilitated more than $100 million in transactions over the past year after being on the job for less than 10 years.

Insiders within the industry expressed awe at such unprecedented sales volumes for new market operators, a phenomenon rarely witnessed in previous decades.

A significant portion of these performers were revealed to be ambitious trailblazers under the age of 40 who have leveraged cutting edge online technology and innovative marketing tactics.

Realestate.com.au’s list of top selling agents – which was based on results declared on the property portal over the past year to March and excluded off market and private sales – also featured some industry veterans.

This included eastern suburbs agent Alexander Phillips, 43, who said he was on track to push through more than $800 million in property sales this financial year.

The top agent ranked by average sale price was Atlas Lower North Shore principal Michael Coombs. His average price was $14.4 million.
