Finally, a page where we can talk about ourselves.
(No, really. Everywhere else on this site is about helping real estate agents do their jobs better. Helping them. Entertaining them. Giving our commercial partners an awesome platform to tell their stories. And we really love to do what we do. But every now and then we get the opportunity to talk about ourselves so here we are...)
What is Elite Agent?
The short answer is we are a specialist publishing and education company for the real estate industry, with our headquarters in beautiful Sydney, Australia.
The longer version is that Elite Agent started with our editor Samantha McLean and an idea to change the relationship between the media and the real estate industry, recognising professionals in the industry as a pretty hard working bunch in an ultra competitive sales profession who can actually use all the help and positivity they can get. She also believes publishers have a responsibility to their audiences: if you are going to make a living in the industry you’d best leave it in a better place …which is what we aim to do in everything we do
(which is magazines, podcasts, training courses, a daily newsletter, videos and more)
If you want the whole story, you’ll need to either a) come to the Firehouse over the road for a wine with us, or b) ask Sam to speak at your next event about how we cut through the noise at the cross roads of two industries (publishing and real estate) that are being continually moved forward by technology with, of all things, an old fashioned print magazine.
We talk about real estate (a lot) and also write lots of stories about real estate
Since September 2014 when we published our first print magazine together we’ve written over 4,500 articles which is about 2.7 million words (but who’s counting?)
We are independently owned by two people who are passionate about publishing, real estate, and life in general...

Here's what our readers think of us (and where you can find us on Facebook!)
Just wanted to say a massive congratulations to the team at elite agent mag. Me and the team absolutely love your content, and the way in which you distribute it is a breath of fresh air in today's world of click bait traps and continual negative/fake news.The Brief in particular sets the team up each day, and puts us in the right mind to begin the day. There is always something for everyone, whether it's a property manager, sales agent, the newest recruit right up to the CEO of a major franchise. Everything is presented in a factual manner, and the fact that you can skim over the entire publication in a few minutes, or delve deeper into anything that interests you really makes it second to none.Especially love the fact that you always finish by providing a random bit of trivia. Without the brief, we wouldn't know which day to celebrate national donut day, which would be a massive hit to the teams morale.Hats off to you Elite Agent Mag. Whether you're in real estate, business or just a fan of great publications, I could not recommend Elite Agent Mag enough.15 out of 10.read more
