Perth has been one of the strongest capital-city markets in the country heading into 2026, with tight stock, fast selling times and buyers competing hard in the mid-market. In a rising market it is tempting to think any agent will do — but the gap between a good campaign and a great one is often tens of thousands of dollars. The agents worth your shortlist are the ones whose past clients would use them again without hesitation.
The five Perth agents below are among the most recommended in the city heading into 2026, judged on verified customer reviews and real sales results rather than advertising spend. We have linked every agent to their live profile so you can read the reviews and check recent sales for yourself.
1. Victor Paz – Harcourts Property Specialists
Victor Paz is one of Perth’s most experienced operators, having started in real estate in 1994 and gone on to build Harcourts Property Specialists into one of the city’s most established sales and property-management businesses across three offices. As Director and Licensee he works out of South Lake and sells right across Perth’s southern corridor — Success, Jandakot, Willetton and Cockburn among them. He holds a 5.0 rating from verified reviews on RateMyAgent, where clients repeatedly single out his negotiation, his constant communication and the calm way he guides families through an emotional sale.
2. Jonathan Marlow – Xceed Real Estate
Jonathan Marlow is a 30-year veteran of the Perth market and a co-founder of Xceed Real Estate, which he established in 2016 with business partner Ray Ellis. Now Director of Sales Performance, he began his career with Roy Weston in 1994, went on to run his own agency, and is a qualified Dale Carnegie and REIWA trainer whose read on the Perth market is regularly sought by industry bodies. Based in Herdsman, he and the Xceed sales team service the western suburbs and the Osborne Park corridor, backed by one of the most awarded offices in the city.
3. Shahbaj Brar – Ray White BPG

Working out of Balga, Ronnie Abboud is one of Perth’s highest-volume agents, selling close to 190 homes as lead agent in the past 12 months while maintaining a 5.0 rating from more than 500 reviews. His numbers tell the story that matters most to sellers: a median of just eight days on market across Balga and the northern suburbs. Clients repeatedly praise his team’s flawless updates and the confidence of selling — even from interstate — without a moment’s guesswork.
5. Vicky Yang – Happy Realty
Vicky Yang of Happy Realty rounds out the five with a 5.0 rating from more than 450 reviews, a RateMyAgent Price Expert badge and an average sale price around $1 million — among the highest on this list.

Sellers describe an agent who explains every step, never pushes, and gets back to them fast.
