Sydney Luxury Real Estate

Sydney is home to some of the most luxurious properties in all of Australia, particularly the eastern suburbs and the north shore. The real estate agents who specialise in these properties are often not a product of such privileged pedigree as the very homes they sell, boasting, instead, a working class upbringing and a lack of a university degree. And yet, they are millionaires in their own right, having built up a massive net worth through shrewd property buys and marketing to high-profile clientele. The top ten real estate agents in Sydney are listed below.

Bill Bridges

Undoubtedly the longest-tenured and most eccentric of the real estate agents on this list, Bill Bridges got his start in luxury residential real estate sales over 60 years ago. Now past the age of 80, Bridges is a health nut who sold the home of former Allco Finance head David Coe in Vaucluse, fetching $47 million for the estate.

Bethwyn Richards

A partner at McGrath, Bethwyn Richards is a big name among the luxury property owners of the eastern beaches. Ms. Richards is known for sharing in the record $13 million Bronte sale as well as selling the Bronte residence of Heath Ledger.

D’Leanne Lewis

With a nickname like “The Queen of Queens Park, ” D’Leanne Lewiss has earned her spot on this list through high-profile sales in and around Harbourside. Working for Laing & Simmons, Ms. Lewis is known as a driven agent who boasts a very high turnover.

Geoff Smith

While most of the real estate agents on this list hail from the eastern suburbs, Geoff Smith occupies the lower north shore for LJ Hooker Mosman. Unlike fellow agents Malouf and Pallier (who are described later), Smith has only ever been involved in real estate, growing his sales to the point that together with Kingsley Yates (below) they have a lock on the harbour front of the lower north shore.
