Second annual “A List” released in Queensland

Queensland’s ranking of the state’s best real estate agents, “The A List”, is being released this week in time for the second annual event.

The only non self-nominated rating of real estate salespeople in the state, This year’s A List event will be held on 10 December at The Marquee, Victoria Park in Brisbane.

Sponsored by Corelogic RP Data, The Courier-Mail, Loan Market, Onthehouse.com.au and Mercedes, the A List is growing to become a major event on the Queensland real estate calendar.

“In 2012 Ray White became curious to develop a formal list of the top industry performers within the Queensland property market. We knew it wouldn’t be the first of such lists aiming to rank high performers, but our approach was different from previous attempts within the real estate industry,” said Tony Warland, Ray White Queensland CEO.

The A List is comprised of the top 148 performers out of 18,000 registered real estate salespeople in Queensland. The list is developed by RP Data, based upon data covering 98 per cent of the Australian property market and closely examines three key criteria; the number of sales, value of sales and number of listings for the period January – December 2013.

Individual salespeople were identified based on their performance in the three criteria, relative to their market which was defined by the area in which each salesperson held a minimum of 70 per cent of their stock. The performance for each salesperson was defined by a formula that compared expected and actual sales, sales value, and number of listings.

The score was then used to rank the salespeople to provide us with the top 148 real estate salespeople – approximately the top one per cent in Queensland.

“This is the only event of its kind in Queensland, given the list of agents has been compiled without agent input using stock numbers and results. Ordinarily, agents submit applications for similar awards,” Mr Warland explains.
