Questions about this list

Who are the best real estate agents in Sydney?

As of 11 November 2026, the three highest-ranked real estate agents in Sydney on Checked Local are Belle Property Avalon (licensed since 1981), Laing & Simmons Blacktown (licensed since 2003) and Raine & Horne Neutral Bay (licensed since 1985). Every business on this list holds a licence or registration we matched to the NSW Fair Trading licence register.

How does Checked Local rank real estate agents?

Only businesses with a current licence or registration on the NSW Fair Trading licence register are ranked. Each then scores up to 35 points for licence fit, 35 for years licensed and 30 for years trading on its ABN record, out of 100.

Why don’t Google ratings count?

We don’t copy or store ratings from Google or any other site, so they can’t feed our score. Every listing links to the business’s Google reviews so you can read them there.

Why are some businesses tied?

Ties happen when businesses have the same verified record, for example licensed for many years with the same scope. They share a rank and are listed alphabetically.

Can a business pay to rank higher?

No. Position comes only from the published formula.

How often is this list updated?

Monthly. This version was rebuilt on 11 November 2026.
