Top 5 Real Estate Agents in Australia |
Posted: March 23, 2017 |
The Australian housing market remains strong, seeing a consistent rise in prices. However, this has not deterred foreigners and locals alike from purchasing property. Over the years, several regulations on housing finance and warnings of a possible property crash have played a part in the often unfair Australian property market. Still, the fact remains that property is still the nation’s favourite asset. Looking at the top Australian agents, we can easily see that property is still being snapped up at an enormous rate. Each of the top 5 agents has sold $300 million and upwards worth of property, with an average listing price of over $2 million. The top Australian agents, all located in New South Wales and Victoria, have an average of 19.4 years’ experience. Their experience shows in the average number of days their listings are on the market. Each of the top agents’ listings sat on the market for just under 20 days. This quick turnover of properties allowed each of the top agents to sell an average of 150 properties in the year. A 93.22 per cent conversion ratio means there is room for more sales and more commission. 73 per cent of the top 100 agents stated that they relied on websites like realestate.com.au and Domain for sales. With the growth of digital education in real estate, people are turning to sites like Career FAQs to obtain skills and qualifications to become a registered real estate agent within Australia.
