James Tostevin secures third win as Australia's top selling agent
The Victorian agent James Tostevin has taken the crown of Australia’s top selling agent.
Tostevin, of Marshall White & Co, took out the win in industry websitE Real Estate Business’ Top 100 Agents rankings for the third consecutive year.
The annual rankings, now in their fourth year, is judged after agents submit their own entry, so excludes many leading agents who decline to participate.
The coastal eastern suburbs Sydney-based agent Alexander Phillips from Phillips Pantzer Donnelley and Marcus Chiminello, also of Marshall White's prestige eastern suburbs Melbourne office, secured the next two rankings.
Together the three accounted for nearly $1 billion in residential real estate sales.
To earn a spot in the top 100, agents are judged on the number of sales they made last year, the total value of properties sold and their efficiency.
In the last year, 8,610 properties were sold by the top 100 agents with revenue totalling nearly $6 billion, Tom Sullivan, publisher of Real Estate Business, said.
