LOCAL REAL ESTATE AGENT NAMED ONE OF AUSTRALIA'S BEST!

 

KEY POINTS

 

. Report uncovers the country’s top 100 real estate agents

. Local real estate agent Mark Rumsey makes the list

 

 

Tuesday 21 May, 2013: A local businessman has been named one of Australia’s leading real estate agents in a national list of top performing agents.

 

Mark Rumsey of David Deane Real Estate Pty Ltd in Strathpine has been included in the 2013 Real Estate Business Top 100 Agents benchmark report which ranks real estate agents across Australia according to a range of 2012 calendar year business metrics,

including sales volumes, sales dollars and average sale price.

 

According to the report, Mr Rumsey sold 118 properties in 2012, totaling more than $39.7 million – an extraordinary feat given current market conditions, Stacey Moseley editor of Real Estate Business said.

 

“While market activity picked up slightly in 2012, we are still a long way from saying the Australian property market has fully recovered,” Ms Moseley said. “Economic uncertainty still looms over consumers and as a result, market confidence has taken a hit with fewer buyers and sellers willing to take the plunge.

 

“In boom markets everyone can prosper, but when times are tough, only those agents with the right business acumen can truly excel.

 

“The Real Estate Business Top 100 Agents ranking provides consumers and industry leaders with insight into those practitioners who are going above and beyond their peers to ensure they get the best result for their clients,” she added.

 

Partnered by leading property analytics company, RP Data, the 2013 Real Estate Business Top 100 Agents ranking was based on submissions supplied by the leading agents across Australia.

 

The data collected included sales numbers, sales volumes, years in the industry and listing numbers, among other information, with RP Data verifying the sales data provided by every agent.

 

More than half of the Top 100 Agents were based in New South Wales(57), followed by 15 in Victoria, 12 in Western Australia and 9 in Queensland. The ACT featured 4 agents, while South Australia and the Northern Territory achieved 2 and 1 agent respectively.
