Ray White Victoria and Tasmania celebrates its 2026 award winners

Ray White Victoria and Tasmania CEO Domenic Belfiore (pictured above) congratulated everyone in the room on all of their hard work throughout the 2025-26 recognition year.

“Tonight is going to be a great night as we celebrate what we have achieved. We came together and further we went,” Mr Belfiore said.

“We conducted more than 86,000  appraisals, we held over 463,000 open for inspections, we scheduled over 10,600 auctions and we managed in excess of 60,000 properties for investors.

“And, in our best year ever, we settled 18,490 property sales.

“Behind every one of those transactions were thousands of stories, all life changing moments.

“We’re privileged to help thousands of people through some of the biggest moments of their lives.

“I hope we never lose sight of the responsibility that comes with what we do.”

Powerhouse business Ray White Ferntree Gully (pictured above) once again took out the Top Office award for settled commission for the tenth year in a row.  

Ray White Ferntree Gully principal Patrick McConnachie said they weren’t sure if they’d win the title again this year. He said after they won the award last year, he told the team they could do one of two speeches at the next awards night.

“We can have an absolute crack and do what we do best, double down, work real hard, do the most listings we've ever done, pump auctions, do what we do, and kill it. And then I can make that proud speech,” he said.

“And if we came number two, and I was lucky enough to get a speech, I could still do the same one.

“I'm proud to say the team worked their arses off!

“And it is not just sales. It's admin, marketing, the PM team, it is absolutely everyone that gets this award here today.

“It’s every single person, every single deal, every single client we helped, every single auction we called, everything we sold under the hammer. And it feels like the most special that we've ever won to date.

“Ten in a row! It's just a special effort from the whole team.”

Ray White Werribee was named the top office by number of sales.

The coveted Top Salesperson award, based on settled commission for 2025-26 in Victoria and Tasmania, was won by Vivian Li from Ray White Wantirna (pictured above).

“I am truly honored and grateful to receive this award,” Ms Li said.

“The market has been challenging, but together we have survived, adapted, and continued to do even better.

“Firstly, to my direct team: thank you for your hard work, loyalty, support, and for always having my back. I couldn't do this without all of you. Thank you.

“To our sales team, property management team: your continuous service and dedication to our clients, the care, the communication, and support you provide every day, I truly value it.

“To our accounts and administration team: thank you for everything you do behind the scenes to ensure every transaction runs smoothly and efficiently from start to finish. We are stronger because we work together.

“To our directors: Matt, Zac, and Pat. Thank you for your leadership, guidance, encouragement, and support.
