A DEALMAKER ON THE RISE

Daniel Cripps has firmly established himself as one of Australia’s standout real estate performers, earning 11th place nationally on the REB Top 50 Dealmakers list for 2025 — a prestigious recognition reserved for agents who consistently deliver exceptional results in an increasingly competitive market.

Now in its ninth year, the REB Dealmakers ranking highlights the industry’s most prolific agents who have settled a high volume of transactions throughout FY2025. Supported by leading proptech company Managed, the ranking celebrates agents who have demonstrated sharp market insight, financial acumen and an ability to negotiate complex deals under pressure.

In a year where buyer demand continued to outpace tight housing supply and listings were snapped up within days in many markets, Daniel’s national ranking is a clear reflection of his consistency, discipline and deep understanding of market dynamics.

For Daniel, success has been built steadily and deliberately. A City of Knox local, he has developed an unrivalled understanding of the area’s suburbs, streets and buyer behaviour — knowledge that has become a defining advantage throughout his career.

“I’ve always believed that being local matters,” Daniel says.
 “When you genuinely know an area, you understand not just the pricing, but the people, the timing and what motivates buyers and sellers.”

That local expertise has translated into a high-volume, high-performance sales record across key suburbs including Knoxfield, Ferntree Gully, Scoresby, Wantirna and Wantirna South, where Daniel is consistently recognised as one of the region’s top individual agents.

A major pillar of his success is his reputation as a market-leading, accredited auctioneer. Known for running high-impact campaigns, Daniel has mastered the art of creating competitive bidding environments that drive strong outcomes for sellers.

“Auction is about energy, preparation and control,” he explains.
 “If you can engage buyers emotionally while keeping the strategy tight, that’s where exceptional results are achieved.”

His ability to combine auctioneering skill with strategic marketing and strong negotiation has seen him repeatedly exceed seller expectations — a performance that has not gone unnoticed within the industry.

Highly experienced and frequently awarded, Daniel has also earned recognition as one of the top three Barry Plant National Sales Consultants, placing him among the elite performers within one of Australia’s most competitive real estate networks.

Yet for Daniel, accolades are only part of the picture.

“I’ve always said that results matter, but how you get there matters just as much,” he says.

That philosophy is reflected in his strong client feedback. Holding the highest number of five-star reviews on Realestate.com.au, Daniel is consistently praised for his professionalism, communication, honesty and ability to guide clients through what is often one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives.

“Trust is everything in this business,” he says.
 “If clients feel informed, supported and confident at every step, the outcome usually takes care of itself.”

Daniel’s inclusion in the REB Top 50 Dealmakers for 2025 is not just recognition of a strong year, but of a career built on consistency, integrity and relentless focus on improvement.

As the property market continues to evolve, Daniel remains committed to refining his craft, supporting his clients and staying ahead of market trends.

“Real estate is never static,” he says.
 “You have to adapt, learn and keep pushing — for yourself and for your clients.”

With national recognition now added to his growing list of achievements, Daniel Cripps’ ranking as the 11th top dealmaker in Australia further cements his reputation as one of the industry’s most respected and results-driven professionals — and a leading force within the City of Knox real estate market.
