Many of the top 50 hustlers with the highest number of sales declared on realestate.com.au are under the age of 35 and selling modest homes across suburban Greater Brisbane, in a market where new listings are down 33 per cent compared to a year ago.
Three of the top six agents ranked by the highest average volume of sales cover a sales patch the size of a small country — the neighbouring suburbs of Browns Plains and Marsden, on the southern outskirts of Brisbane.

Taking out the top spot is Philip Resnikoff from Crafted Property Agents, who has sold a whopping 191 homes for a median sale price of $945,000, based on results declared on realestate.com.au over the year to March and excluding off market and private sales.
Under Mr Resnikoff’s leadership, Crafted Property Agents has created a previously unheard of auction culture in the Browns Plains area, hosting weekly livestreamed auction events in partnership with a local coffee shop.

Hot on his heels is young gun agent, Ryan Suhle, of Ray White North Lakes, who has sold an average of 151 properties in the past 12 months, with a median price of $750,000 on realestate.com.au.
Born and raised within the North Lakes community, the 20-year-old specialises in the Moreton Bay region, and was recognised by the Ray White brand as being the youngest person to get into chairman’s elite agent status — that is, the top 1 per cent of Ray White Australasia agents.

Not bad for a kid who lasted three weeks at university before deciding to join his parents in the family business.
Within months of starting as an agent, he had bought his first home, and now owns three properties in the Moreton Bay region, where home prices have skyrocketed since the pandemic.
In his spare time, Mr Suhle drives racing cars, but he is the first to admit he has little time to spare.
Brad Munro of Position Property Services was one of Queensland’s top selling agents in the past year.
“I have zero social life,” he said. “I’ve been to a club once in my life and I’m 20. I work on Saturday nights. You can’t have it both ways, but that’s a decision I’ve made.”
In third place is Chris Gilmour of All Properties Group, Browns Plains — an F3 racing driver, ironman competitor and Cleo Bachelor of the Year finalist in 2004.
According to realestate.com.au, Mr Gilmour has sold 139 homes in the past 12 months, but Mr Gilmour says that figure is actually 256, including unreported and offmarket sales, with an average sale price $963,000.
Stuart Grayer from One Percent in Gladstone.
“People laugh, but Logan has everything,” Mr Gilmour said.
“People want new homes, and there are a lot of new developments out here, whereas in the city, it’s too expensive and the homes are older.”
Mr Gilmour, who has been racing cars since he was five, was the Australian F3 champion in 2011 and broke the lap record in Bathurst in 2012.
He decided to get into real estate in 2007, and opened his own agency — All Properties Group — eight months later.
Alex Jordan from McGrath Estate Agents is one of Queensland’s highest selling agents.
“I wanted to get into a job that rewarded hard work, and real estate’s the perfect vehicle for that,” he said.
“It gives me flexibility and the lifestyle that I want, but it comes with a lot of sacrifices too.”
Some of the clients he has represented include Australian sports stars, international winter Olympians, Australian musical artists and V8 Supercar drivers.
Operating in the same area is Rebecca Cuderman of Ray White Marsden AKG, who has notched up 131 property sales in the past 12 months on realestate.com.au, with a median price of $521,000.
Nathan Strudwick of Elders Real Estate.
She was recognised among the top 1 per cent of agents under the Ray White umbrella. sitting within the chairman’s elite in 2021.
One of her sales broke the Marsden record at the time, raising the bar to $2.52m for the Brisbane suburb.
Logan local Nathan Strudwick of Elders Real Estate Shailer Park, who recently sold Corey and Margaux Parker’s property in Cornubia for nearly $3m, also had a big year of sales.
Nathan Strudwick sold this property at 119-121 Carbrook Rd, Cornubia, for Corey and Marguax Parker for nearly $3m.
Other young achievers include Vanya Dzumhur of Ray White Ipswich, Nyree Ewings of LJ Hooker Property Centre, and Moses Nguyen of NGU Real Estate, who has only been in the industry three years but is the fastest agent ever to achieve elite status at NGU.
Outside of Greater Brisbane, Stuart Grayer of One Per Cent Property Sales is a standout performer, having sold 139 properties listed on realestate.com.au in the past 12 months as lead agent out of the central Queensland coastal city of Gladstone, with a median sold price of $420,000.
