It is the kind of milestone that, on its own, might read as a fast start. But for Gavin Rubinstein of TRG, the number that matters more is 13.
This is the consecutive years that he is now on track to attain Chairman's Elite status, Ray White's highest recognition tier, since it was introduced. He is one of only six people across the entire group to have held that record without a break.
His current sales are more than double that of the next-highest performer in the leading network. In the three months to May, Gavin exchanged on just shy of $200 million worth of property which is all settling now.
This continues a run that saw Gavin Rubinstein named the No. 1 International Principal for Settled Commission and the Top Residential Sales Performer Internationally at the 2025 Ray White International Awards last year.
"I have always been fond of this metric because I feel it is a direct correlation of the value you add to the market place as an agent - and it is only possible because of my clients who have given me the opportunity to represent them in a changing climate. Every day my team and I strive for excellence. On the days we miss, we learn and try to evolve our practice moving forward to ensure we continue to deliver premium outcomes for the people that we represent,” Gavin said.
For TRG’s founder, the achievement is less a single-year story than a marker of how the business has been built. Founded as a boutique start-up in 2019, TRG has grown into one of Sydney's leading luxury agencies, with offices now in Rose Bay, Woollahra, Hunters Hill and Dubai, UAE. Mr Rubinstein has pointed to precision, urgency and a vendor-first culture as the standards underpinning that growth, the same discipline, he says, that shows up in results year after year rather than any one deal.
"I feel TRG has broadly established its culture and values as a team and it is ever evolving particularly in the midst of a significant market shift. In my opinion, this shift will bring out the best not only in our office but in the industry as a whole,” he said. “Service across the board for both sellers and buyers alike can always improve and we want to focus particularly in these areas across the TRG brand.
“I look forward to driving the people who represent TRG to continue to not only get great results for their clients but also to have some fun along the way. This is an incredible industry and we should all be excited to be a part of it and what's to come."
Gavin Rubinstein is the first person across the Ray White Group in Australia and New Zealand to achieve Elite status for the 2026/27 recognition year. He reached Elite in August, a full month earlier than last year, when he qualified in September. His current performance is more than double that of the next-highest performer across the group.
