Noble Avenue Real Estate Awarded Top Small Office in WA and REIWA Master Awards 2025

The 2025 REIWA Awards last Saturday at Crown Perth brought together the very best in Western Australia’s real estate industry, celebrating dedication and results. For Noble Avenue Real Estate, it was a night filled with pride, as both individual achievements and team recognition were celebrated. Noble Avenue Real Estate Team Named Top Small Office We are honoured to have been named the #4 Top Small Office in WA by Value. This award is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to clients, our deep connection to the community, and the tireless work our team puts in every day. What makes this award especially meaningful is the market in which it was achieved. Over the 2024/25 financial year, Perth experienced one of its most competitive markets on record. The city was operating with one of the smallest pools of homes for sale in years. Active listings hovered around 4,500 for much of the year, and by June 2025 had dropped below 4,000, sitting at just 3,997. In a climate of record-low listings and soaring demand, achieving consistent results for clients required not just expertise, but also adaptability, creativity, and trusted local knowledge. These conditions reignited the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) among buyers and made having the right guidance from real estate agents critical for sellers. For our clients, working with Linda Noble, Jay Dass, Karen Riches, Nikki Kale, Shirley Heslip, Andrea Lloyd, and Brett Moore meant having the confidence that comes from an award-winning team, one that places their best interests at the centre of every decision in a highly competitive market. Celebrating Our Award-Winning Agents - Named in Perth's Top 5 % of Agents Karen Riches – Master Salesperson With more than 16 years in real estate, Karen’s dedication to families in Carine and Duncraig has once again placed her among the top 5% of agents in WA. Karen is known not just for achieving standout results, but for the deep trust she builds with families navigating some of life’s biggest milestones. Her long-standing presence in Carine and Duncraig means she has unmatched insight into local buyer behaviour, suburb trends, and community needs. This level of knowledge is critical in a market where homes move quickly and competition is fierce. Clients return to Karen time and again because they know she combines market expertise with genuine care. Behind her success is the invaluable support of Stephanie Batho and Alex McInerney, who ensure every client receives seamless service from the first appraisal to settlement. Jay Dass – Master Salesperson For over a decade, Jay has been a trusted figure in Iluka, Burns Beach, and Currambine. His recognition as a 2025 Master Salesperson reflects the confidence so many families continue to place in him year after year. Jay’s calm, knowledgeable approach and deep local expertise are what set him apart. Whether it’s helping a family upgrade, guiding investors, or supporting downsizers, he is known for his ability to strategise in fast-moving conditions while keeping clients at ease. In the 2024/25 financial year, Jay’s results spoke for themselves, with multiple street records achieved across his core suburbs, a clear demonstration of his negotiation strength and ability to unlock maximum value in a competitive market. Supporting him is his dedicated Executive Assistant, Emylee Chalwell, who ensures every transaction runs smoothly and every client receives the highest level of care. Linda – Master Salesperson Linda’s recognition as a 2025 REIWA Master Salesperson is a reflection of her nearly two decades of experience, dedication, and commitment to her clients and community. As the founder of Noble Avenue, she has built the agency on values of integrity and service, while consistently being recognised as Hillarys’ most trusted and recommended agent for more than a decade. Living locally in Hillarys, Linda specialises in Hillarys, Mullaloo, and Kallaroo, giving her unmatched insight into the northern coastal market. This deep local knowledge, combined with nearly two decades of hands-on experience, means her clients benefit from advice that is both strategic and grounded in community understanding. Linda’s reputation is more than just sales success, it’s about long-term relationships, suburb expertise, and genuine care. Her leadership, professionalism, and energy continue to set her apart, making her one of WA’s most respected and accomplished agents. So, what was the market really like during the award year? Here’s a snapshot of the Perth property market across July 2024–25, the very conditions our agents were working in when these achievements were recognised: Market Snapshot - July 2024 - 25 Looking Ahead While awards celebrate past achievements, they also set the stage for the future. As we move through Spring, REIWA members are already reporting an expected lift in new listings as sellers prepare to enter the market. However, conditions remain incredibly competitive. Perth currently has just 2,905 homes for sale across the metro area, the lowest level on record. Fewer homes on the market mean stronger competition, and buyers are responding with urgency. At our recent Ocean Reef home open, more than 100 groups attended over the weekend, demonstrating the depth of demand. This pressure is only set to increase, with the new 5% First Home Buyer scheme launching on October 1, further adding to the number of active buyers. For sellers, this creates an opportunity to capitalise on heightened demand and achieve outstanding results. At Noble Avenue, our focus remains the same: serving our clients and community with integrity, local expertise, and a genuine commitment to making every property journey a success.
