The coveted crown of the 2025 Agency of the Year for the Sunshine Coast, as well as the four key location categories in the Noosa Shire of Noosa Heads, Noosaville, Sunshine Beach and Peregian Beach, proved a clean sweep for Tom Offermann Real Estate.
Revealed by RateMyAgent, the leading reviews, ratings and rankings website for real estate agents that also recognises top marketing agents. Tom Offermann Real Estate’s Tracy Russell received the top agent award for Peregian Beach, while Roark Walsh received the honour for Sunshine Beach.
Now in its 10th year, the 2025 RateMyAgent National Awards offer what are regarded as the only significant customer-driven awards in the Australian real estate industry, with winners based on verified customer reviews provided from the RateMyAgent website.
It prioritises the needs of sellers and aims to provide consumers with a benchmark for the top-quality real estate agencies in their area, based on the feedback from the past year, rather than being judged by industry peers.
The RateMyAgent website is used by agents who sell 80 percent of all property in Australia, while high-performing agents are determined by real reviews from those who have bought or sold a property with the agent.
Tom Offermann Real Estate has been a consistent and dominant force in the Noosa property market for over three decades, and principal Tom Offerman is thrilled with the latest acknowledgment.
“The awards are a true gauge and particularly meaningful, as based entirely on verified customer feedback,” he said.
“The team – which of course includes those behind-the-scenes – was honoured as the No.1 agency on the Sunshine Coast, out of over 300 agencies, and also earned the No.1 spot for Noosa Heads, Noosaville, Peregian Beach and Sunshine Beach.
“Suffice to say we have the coast well and truly covered.”
In what has been a stand-out 2025 so far for Tom Offermann Real Estate, as verified in the Courier Mail’s list of top 50 Sunshine Coast properties, which also highlighted the Noosa region, and the agency’s standing in the prestige end of the market.
From beachfront to riverfront residences, to elegant apartments and exclusive hinterland estates, the Noosa region accounted for 39 properties on the top 50 list. Twenty-one, equating to 53 per cent, were sold by Tom Offermann Real Estate marketing agents, similarly all but one in the top 10.
The trend highlights the area’s enduring appeal to high-end buyers, and the growing demand for Noosa real estate is not surprising.
Beyond a myriad of world-class natural assets, pristine coastal beauty, idyllic climate, audacious architecture, and an innate sense of security contributing to its appeal and premier Australian destination status, it really is a magnet for buyers from around the globe.
The lowest sale price in the top 50 list was $6.1m, while the highest sale reached an impressive $30m for an outstanding three-level waterfront home at 43 Witta Circle on Noosa Sound.
The residence, which includes a basement, was sold through marketing agents Nic Hunter and Tiffany Wilson.
“While this price may seem like a record, we’ve already received offers exceeding that amount for another waterfront property, so the future may bring even bigger blockbusting sales,” Mr Offermann said.
