Now in its 10th year, the REB Dealmakers celebrates the industry’s most driven agents, those who consistently close deals and set the standard for the next generation.
FY2025–26 began as a boom and ended as a test.
Through the first nine months, values climbed to a record, with the nation’s housing stock topping $12.7 trillion by March. Then the tide went out – four rate rises took the cash rate to the highest in 15 years. Buyers pulled back, sales slowed and stock stacked up.
For selling agents, the second half of the year was a different job. Vendors held firm on expectations that no longer matched the market, buyers took their time, and every campaign had to be earned. Momentum no longer carried a result to the finish.
The agents in this year’s REB Dealmakers ranking did not wait for the market to come back to them. They won listings, kept buyers engaged and got deals settled while conditions turned against them. This ranking shows who thrives when the market stops helping.
The REB Dealmakers 2026 ranking has been measured through three key metrics:
Total number of deals
Year-on-year deal growth
Consistency of performance
2026 v 2025

More deals made in a tougher FY25–26
Even as the market turned, the top 50 dealmakers finalised an average of 156.3 deals in the FY25–26, a significant jump from 128.6 in FY24–25. The top 10 agents also lifted their output, making an average of 120.0 deals in FY25–26, up from 109.5 in the previous financial year.

Picking up the pace
Even as the market cooled, the dealmakers kept accelerating. The top 50 agents averaged 13.0 deals a month in FY25–26, 2.3 more than the 10.7 recorded in FY24–25. The top 10 also stepped up, moving from 9.1 deals a month to 10.0.
Growth told a more nuanced story. The top 50 lifted their average growth from 47.5 to 49.2, a solid result in a tougher market. The top 10, already operating at a high level, recorded an average growth of 34.8, down from 46.3 last year.

The top 10 averaged fewer deals than the wider top 50, reflecting a ranking that rewards growth and consistency as well as volume.
Experience leads the way
Experience
Experience rose to the top of the ranking this year. The top 10 dealmakers averaged 13.9 years in the industry, up from 11.5 in FY24–25, and for the first time in this comparison, they are more seasoned than the wider top 50, who held steady at 13.6 years. In a more demanding market, veteran operators rose to the top.

How did the states fare?
Victoria held on to the top spot, with 16 of the top 50 dealmakers operating in the state, the same as last year. South Australia was the big mover, nearly doubling its presence from five agents to 11 and finishing a clear second. NSW slipped to eight agents (down from 14 in FY24–25), while Queensland dropped from 10 to four.
The top five slots were spread across the country. A Victorian agent took out first place, a Tasmanian agent ranked second, a South Australian agent ranked third, while an NSW agent held fourth place and a Western Australian agent held fifth.
Western Australia doubled its representation to six agents (up from three in FY24–25), and Tasmania, absent from last year’s ranking, entered with three agents, two of them in the top 10. The Northern Territory again had two agents.
