New ranking reveals Australia’s best young agents

The members of the inaugural Young Guns ranking have been revealed, with six entrants already million-dollar agents.

Mr Longhurst had volumes of $78.9 million, making 59 sales at an average of $1.3 million.

The boom states of NSW and Victoria dominated the ranking, with NSW providing 26 of the 50 members and Victoria another 13.

Queensland provided four agents, Western Australia three, South Australia two, and Tasmania and Northern Territory one each.

The Young Guns ranking had 35 franchise agents and 15 independents, while 44 were located in capital cities and six in regional markets.

Based on averages, the agents on the ranking were aged 27.2, made 50.7 sales, posted volumes of $36.5 million and charged a commission of 2.13 per cent.
