Meet the next generation of Australian real estate leaders

Join us in the coming weeks as we spotlight the rising stars shaping the future of real estate.

 At just 24, Nikita Politis has already made a name for himself in the highly competitive Australian real estate industry.

Recently recognised as one of Australia’s top trailblazers under 25 by Real Estate Today Australia, the Sales Executive at Little Real Estate is redefining what it means to be an agent in today’s market.

Nikita’s rapid rise in real estate is fuelled by a tech-forward mindset and a commitment to exceptional client service. Working alongside Senior Sales Consultant and Licensed Estate Agent Andrew McCalman, he has modernised processes, enhanced marketing strategies, and elevated sales performance.

Recognising the power of premium marketing, he identified gaps in property presentation and introduced new suppliers for high-end photography and videography. The result has been stronger buyer engagement, increased brand credibility, and greater success for vendors.

He also harnesses CoreLogic’s market data, distilling key insights to provide tailored updates to his client base.

This approach fosters deeper engagement and cements his reputation as a trusted market expert. His integration of Real Time Agent, a digital contract signing platform, has streamlined the sales process, reducing manual paperwork and significantly accelerating deal timelines.

His leadership in digital adoption has encouraged broader use of the platform among his colleagues, reinforcing his role as an industry innovator.

In just seven months, Nikita and Andrew have listed 42 properties valued at $26 million, sold 22 properties, generated $220,000 in gross commission income, ensuring strong market positioning.

Beyond numbers, client satisfaction is a defining metric of success. Nikita boasts 11 five-star reviews on realestate.com.au, with buyers and sellers alike praising his professionalism, transparency, and dedication to achieving outstanding outcomes.

Melbourne’s South Yarra market has seen significant fluctuations due to economic factors like land tax changes, COVID-19 recovery, and evolving buyer behaviour.

While some agents struggled to adapt, Nikita leaned into market shifts, providing clear, strategic guidance to his clients. By fostering honest, data-driven conversations, he has helped buyers and sellers navigate uncertainty with confidence, ensuring they make informed decisions tailored to long-term objectives.

Nikita’s impact extends beyond real estate transactions. He played a key role in helping his wrestling coach secure a commercial lease, enabling the launch of a thriving gym in Clyde North— a testament to his dedication to supporting local businesses.

His influence is also felt within Little Real Estate, where he mentors colleagues and shares insights gained from top industry leaders, including Josh Phegan and Michael Sheargold.

His commitment to continuous learning, backed by participation in high-performance training programs, positions him as an emerging leader in the sector.

What sets Nikita apart is his fearless approach to prospecting, innovation, and client engagement. While many agents hesitate to have tough conversations, he embraces them with clarity, empathy, and a solutions-driven mindset.

With industry recognition already under his belt and an unwavering drive for success, Nikita Politis is well on his way to becoming a household name in Australian real estate.

Expect to see him continue to break barriers, set new standards, and inspire the next generation of property professionals.
