Just shy of topping their December quarter results, The Agency (AU1) has witnessed 1232 sales valued at $1.2 billion over the March quarter.

The company is enjoying the red hot property market, as home prices continue strong growth across the country as properties are being gobbled up at a ravenous pace.

Across their 300 agents, The Agency had 1299 listings in the quarter, up seven per cent from the December quarter.

“Results for month of March were particularly encouraging, with a record revenue of $6.4 million and $9.3 million of GCI. With a strengthened balance sheet and improving financial performance, we will continue to work on delivering the best service to clients and customers nationally with a focus on maximising value to our shareholders,” he concluded.

The company said gross commissionable income (GCI) for the period was $20 million, the second-highest quarter on the record.
