The Annual 2025 with Adrian William

Share

2025 proved to be a year of steady momentum for Adrian William. A year shaped by strategic partnerships, team maturation, and campaigns guided by precision. The confidence that began building through early rate cuts strengthened steadily across the year, culminating in a Spring defined by volume and velocity as constrained supply met spirited demand.

By The Numbers

478 properties sold. $668,738,620 in value. 4,480 open homes connected us with 29,030 active buyers. Our properties moved in an average of 23 days compared to the market average of 37. 

Awards don't define a year, but they do provide moments of pause. In 2025, we were honoured to be named the Most Outstanding Real Estate Agency at the Inner West Local Business Awards, a title that carries weight precisely because it comes from the community we serve daily. 

We were also proud finalists for the 2025 REIA Residential Sales Team of the Year, with sixteen team members travelling to Adelaide to represent New South Wales. This followed our 2024 REINSW Award for Excellence, placing us among the top-performing agencies in the country. We also claimed #1 for most residential sales by a single office in the Inner West, according to REA data.

Five Years and Growing

July marked five years since we opened our doors. We gathered at The Grounds of Alexandria to celebrate. A moment to reflect and acknowledge how far we'd come. From a handful of agents in 2020 to an established team of over 50 professionals, the foundation hasn't changed: integrity, relationships, and community first.

The year brought ASCEND, our inaugural professional development summit. Six speakers, hours of sessions, and a room full of agents committed to continuous improvement. Domain experts delivered market updates while sessions on mindfulness, presentation skills, and personal development rounded out the day. 

Strategic Partnerships

Growth for the sake of growth has never been our approach. Every expansion, every addition to the team, is measured against one question: Does this align with who we are?

In 2025, that question led us to two significant partnerships. Nicholas Viewey merged Viewey Real Estate with Adrian William, joining as an agent after 12 years of running a boutique agency built on relationship-building and a community-first philosophy that mirrored our own. Chris Akkawi followed a similar path, merging Urban Lane Real Estate and stepping into our sales team with fifteen years of Inner West experience: twelve as a top-performing agent, three as agency owner. More than acquisitions, these were both alignments of philosophy and approach.

New agents joined throughout the year. Arden Savio (Daily Telegraph’s Top Agents Under 30) brought natural talent and a tech-savvy approach. Rihann Barkley-Brown delivered seven years of industry expertise. Paul Koulizakis brought over a decade of experience across the Inner West marketplace. We also strengthened our property management division with new dedicated property managers, expanding our capacity to deliver boutique-level care across a growing portfolio. 

Looking Ahead

The broader market carries solid momentum into 2026. Confidence built through 2025 continues to support buyer activity, with demand strongest where value and fundamentals align. Buyers are decisive when the right property appears, particularly in well-priced segments. Early 2026 is likely to see this momentum sustained, as buyers return clearer on expectations and more deliberate in their choices.

As we look ahead, our commitment is unchanged: to move thoughtfully, grow with intention, and stay anchored to the values that have guided us from the beginning. If you’re considering a move or exploring an opportunity, we’d love to hear from you. The next chapter is already taking shape, and we look forward to sharing it with you.
