Australia's #1 Large Residential Agency of the Year

TOOP+TOOP is incredibly proud to announce that we have been named Australia’s #1 Large Residential Agency of the Year at the 2026 Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) National Awards for Excellence (NAFE), held on Thursday night at CENTREPIECE, Melbourne Park.

Recognised as one of the highest honours in Australian real estate, the award celebrates agencies that continue to lead the industry through innovation, professionalism, customer experience and overall business excellence. To be acknowledged on the national stage amongst some of the country’s most respected agencies is an extraordinary achievement for our entire team and one that reflects decades of commitment to doing things differently.

A National Recognition of Excellence

The REIA National Awards for Excellence bring together the leading real estate professionals and businesses from every state and territory across Australia. Representing the very best of the industry, the awards acknowledge those who continue to raise standards and evolve the real estate experience for both clients and the broader community.

For TOOP+TOOP, this recognition holds particular significance as a proudly independent, family-owned South Australian business that has remained committed to its values since 1985. While the industry continues to evolve, our philosophy has remained consistent: delivering exceptional service, trusted advice and tailored strategies that place people at the centre of every property journey.

More Than Volume

What made this award especially meaningful was that the submission was not built purely around transaction numbers or scale, but rather the philosophy, innovation and long-term vision that continue to shape the business.

The national recognition highlighted several key areas that define TOOP+TOOP today, including:

• Our position as a proudly independent South Australian agency with more than 40 years of history

• Continued innovation through our proprietary TOOP Software platforms

• Our strength within the prestige property market, particularly across the $1.5 million-plus sector

• Industry-leading marketing and brand strategy

• Ongoing investment in professional development and internal growth

• A long-standing “value over volume” philosophy that prioritises quality service and premium outcomes over transaction count

For us, success has never simply been measured by the number of properties sold. It is measured by trust, relationships, reputation and the calibre of service we provide every client who chooses TOOP+TOOP to represent them during one of life’s most important decisions.

A Reflection of Our People

This achievement would not have been possible without the dedication, professionalism and passion of the entire TOOP+TOOP team across Sales, Property Management, Marketing, Administration and Leadership.

Every campaign, client interaction and behind-the-scenes contribution plays a role in shaping the experience we deliver and the reputation we continue to build as a business. This award belongs to every individual within the company who consistently strives for excellence and genuinely cares about achieving the very best outcomes for our clients.

We also extend our sincere gratitude to our clients and community for the trust they continue to place in TOOP+TOOP. Your support and loyalty over the past four decades have been instrumental in shaping who we are today.

As we celebrate this milestone, we remain as motivated as ever to continue evolving, innovating and setting new benchmarks within South Australian real estate while staying true to the values that have defined TOOP+TOOP for more than 40 years.
