Sean Hughes, director of Realmark Coastal, secured an impressive third place ranking on the list.

The REB Dealmakers ranking recognises the top 50 residential real estate agents across Australia who have established a strong presence in their local area, settled a high number of deals across FY23, and gone above and beyond for their vendors and buyers.
The ranking has also showcased the breadth and depth of talent in Australia’s real estate industry.
After weathering the COVID-19 pandemic, agents faced fresh challenges across FY23, with the official cash rate rising by four percentage points since the beginning of the hike cycle in May 2022 to 4.10 per cent.
As housing stock dwindled and mortgage stress increased among borrowers, agents with experience who consistently worked hard and displayed dedication to their clients rose to the top.
Nevertheless, the difficult conditions impacted agents, with the top 50 dealmakers selling 84.4 properties in FY23 down from 139.0 in FY22.
Meanwhile the average number of deals per month declined year on year from 12.0 to seven across the top 50 agents, and from 11.0 to 8.8 across the top 10 agents.
Across the states, Western Australia was the shining star with 21 representatives securing a ranking in REB Dealmakers 2023, with the top three agents all from WA.
Commenting on the performance of this year’s dealmakers, Agile Market Intelligence (formerly Momentum Intelligence) director Michael Johnson said: “Real estate agents have faced many challenges over the past few years but have always risen above them to achieve success.
“The REB Dealmakers 2023 rankings are testament to the tenacity and capabilities of agents all over Australia. They have demonstrated the importance of building a presence in their local communities and servicing vendors and buyers with dedication and honesty.”
REB editor Grace Ormsby also weighed in, stating: “This year’s ranking showcases the absolute talent that exists in Australian real estate.”
“It brings me such joy to be able to highlight the hard work and commitment on show across the country. Each agent named in this ranking has dedicated time, effort and energy into honing their craft.”
“Congratulations to every single agent who is named in this year’s ranking; Your success deserves to be celebrated.”
