ustralia's top real estate agent, Josh Tesolin, has suffered a significant setback after his NSW Fair Trading licence was suspended for 120 days following an investigation into alleged misconduct. The suspension, which took effect on August 8, is linked to allegations of underquoting, dummy bidding, producing false documents, and using high-pressure sales tactics, all of which breach industry rules.

    Tesolin's company, Tesolin Consulting Pty Ltd, has also been suspended, with authorities alleging that this was not an isolated incident but part of a repeated pattern of misconduct while he operated under the Ray White banner. Show Cause notices have been issued, requiring Tesolin and his company to explain why they should not face further disciplinary action by August 29, 2025.

    Josh Tesolin is a well-known figure in Australian real estate, born into a family with strong business ties. He has built a reputation for his relentless work ethic and aggressive sales style, which has earned him numerous accolades, including being named Australia's Number 1 Agent in 2020 by RateMyAgent. In 2021, he sold an impressive 350 properties, generating $383.8 million in sales and $7 million in gross commission.

    Tesolin's wife, Sophie, has been a key support figure in his career, managing client appointments and helping to raise their son while working alongside Josh at Ray White Quakers Hill. His mother, Annette, is the general manager of the same office. Tesolin's sharp marketing skills and social media presence have made him a household name in Quakers Hill property sales, with his team consistently leading auction results and dominating local listings.
