Leading residential network McGrath Estate Agents has unveiled its Top 10 Ranking of Agents.
Foundation franchisee and principal of McGrath Terrigal, Mat Steinwede, tops the list, beating some 700 agents in the company’s NSW, ACT, Queensland and Victorian offices.
The honours cover the 2016-2017 financial year to date.
McGrath CEO, Cameron Judson, commended the professionalism of the top agents. Mr Judson said the agents continue to excel and achieve outstanding results despite challenging market conditions and lower than expected listing volumes in the first half of financial year 2016-17.
Mr Judson also confirmed that agents Ben Collier, Shad Hassen and Brad Gillespie will leave McGrath to pursue other business opportunities, adding that their contribution has been greatly appreciated.
“It is not unusual to see some agent movement within the industry at the year’s end. However, what is important for us is that we have grown our market share in around two-thirds of the areas we serve, which speaks volumes about the underlying strength of our brand and the quality of our sales team,” he said.
Mr Judson said in the last two weeks, the company launched ‘McGrath Future’, an initiative he believes will be “the most compelling and attractive” remuneration framework for high-performing sales agents.
“This will give outstanding agents further opportunities to build their income streams, create virtual equity in their own property management profile and a recruitment incentive.
“We remain focused on attracting and retaining the best sales agents in the industry, increase their productivity and utilise technology to deliver efficiencies necessary so that we will be well-positioned for the upside when listing volumes increase.”
