REB presents the top 50 dealmakers of 2025

For almost a decade, the REB Dealmakers ranking has highlighted the achievements of the top dealmakers in the Australian real estate industry.

This year, the ranking once again offered the opportunity for younger agents, regional agents, and those working outside of prestige metro suburbs to be recognised for their hard work and dedication to their craft.

With buyer demand consistently outpacing tight housing supply, agents have been operating in a fiercely competitive market as property listings are snapped up in just a few days in some capital cities.

This was reflected in the results, as the top 50 dealmakers closed more deals this year than the previous year. Indeed, average total deals surged from 117 in FY24 to 128.6 in FY25.

There was also a spike in average deals per month, rising from 9.7 in FY24 to 10.7 in FY25, demonstrating that agents consistently made more transactions each month.

The numbers were more stable across the top 10 agents, with average total deals dipping slightly from 113.3 in the previous year to 109.5 average total deals in FY25.

The average growth rate surged from 31.8 in FY24 to 47.5 in FY25 among the top 50 agents, and from 36.1 to 46.3 among the top 10 agents.

Victoria had the highest representation, with 16 agents hailing from this state, followed by NSW (14) and Queensland (10). Five agents were from South Australia, while Western Australia had three (down from seven last year).

Notably, unlike previous years, the Northern Territory was also represented in this year’s ranking, with two agents operating at the top end.

Managed – the pioneering automated rental payments platform that enables agencies to run a rent roll without a trust account – is proud to support the top 50 REB Dealmakers of 2025 and provide them with the recognition they deserve.

Managed CEO Phillip Tarrant applauded the top dealmakers of 2025 for capitalising on strong market conditions to outperform their peers.

“The top 50 dealmakers of 2025 have played a central role in their agencies in identifying strategic opportunities, and structuring and closing property transactions. They have built robust relationships and act as the bridge between vendors and buyers," Tarrant said.

“These dealmakers have been crowned as the best in their field for understanding market dynamics, demonstrating sharp financial acumen, and negotiating complex and profitable deals.

“The REB Dealmakers set the benchmark for excellence in the real estate industry, and the agents in this year’s ranking have earned their place by going above and beyond for their business as well as clients.”

REB editor Liam Garman said he was delighted to recognise this year’s top 50 dealmakers for setting the benchmark on how to consistently settle deals and yield results.

“The top 50 dealmakers of 2025 have demonstrated that they are elite agents who are driven to succeed in their field and they deserve to be celebrated,” Garman said.

“The ranking highlights the hard work and dedication of each agent to stay ahead of the curve and take advantage of a fiercely competitive property market to ensure that their customers are satisfied.”

Methodology

The REB Dealmakers 2025 ranking was determined based on a rigorous methodology, with all data verified by Agile Market Intelligence to ensure accuracy.

The ranking has been measured through three key metrics: total number of deals, year-on-year deal growth from FY24 and FY25, and consistency of performance (how consistently they have settled deals over the months in FY25).

The ranking was based on the analysis of the total value and number of residential sales settled between July 2024 and June 2025, and the number of residential sales settled between July 2023 and June 2024.

Agents were also asked to submit the number of residential sales they settled within each monthly period from July 2024 to June 2025.

In addition, they needed to supply a CRM verification document clearly outlining the following information:

• Total value of settled sales for the 2024-2025 financial year.

• Total number of settled sales for the 2023–2024 financial year.

• Total number of settled sales for the 2024–2025 financial year.

• Total number of settled sales for the 2024–2025 financial year, broken down by month.
