High-flying real estate agent Josh Tesolin may be under investigation by NSW Fair Trading, but he hasn't let that put a dampener on his lavish lifestyle.
Despite the official scrutiny, Tesolin remains one of Australia's highest-performing agents, reportedly raking in $9million in commissions over the past financial year.
Tesolin isn't just a top-selling real estate agent – he and his wife, Sophia, have amassed a property portfolio estimated at more than $15million.
This includes a four-bedroom home in Bella Vista, purchased for $2.3million in July 2021, and a five-bedroom house in Rozelle, which sold for $2.2million in 2024.
Tesolin also owns two investment properties on the outskirts of Brisbane, acquired for a combined $789,000.
He drives a Bentley Bentayga, which start at around $395,800, and has a penchant for Gucci and Louis Vuitton loafers, which retail for $1,600 and $1,700 respectively.
Tesolin is also known for his flashy custom suits, including a jacket lined with images of homes he seemingly had a hand in selling, worn at a conference in New Zealand.
And on the agent's wrist? A Rolex Day-Date, known as the 'President' model thanks to its association with global power players, which start at around $62,000.
The Rolex was made famous by US Presidents like Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Donald Trump, as well as cultural icons Michael Jordan, Jay-Z, and Warren Buffett.
Tesolin is also known for gifting luxury timepieces to his staff to mark milestones.
One post on social media shows the agent gifting a sales agent a rose gold Rolex, estimated to be valued at over $50,000.
In another, a watch worth an estimated $35,000 was handed out.
Tesolin, who regularly wears colourful socks, has previously joked that the cartoon patterns help him stay 'relatable' to his clients.
'Vendors often judge agents from the outside - assuming we're arrogant or overly serious - but when I show up in Gucci shoes, a custom suit, and socks with flying pigs, it breaks the ice, makes me more approachable, and shows I don't take myself too seriously,' he told the One Life Club podcast in January, 2024.
In 2021, Tesolin was awarded the Number 1 Agent in Australia by RateMyAgent, a title he secured four years in a row, from 2020 to 2023.
His wife is listed as the office manager at Ray White Quakers Hill in Sydney's northwest, where Josh is the owner and principal.
Daily Mail Australia in April revealed Tesolin and his agency were at the centre of a NSW Fair Trading investigation into underquoting and complaints.
The agent publicly acknowledged the investigation for the first time in a podcast interview with disgraced agent Adrian Bo.
'What are we being investigated for? Fair Trading came in, asked for files, we complied with the regulator,' Tesolin said.
'Anything the regulator has asked, whether it be 500 files... three files... we have completely complied with the regulator at every single stage.'
A Fair Trading spokesperson last week confirmed the investigation was ongoing.
'The Strata and Property Services Taskforce within NSW Fair Trading is investigating Quakers Hill Ray White Real Estate and Josh Tesolin following proactive compliance blitzes into underquoting and complaints,' they said.
'As this investigation is ongoing, no further comment is available at this time.'
The inquiry is expected to wrap up in the coming weeks.
Daily Mail Australia does not suggest Tesolin has engaged in underquoting, only that his agency is the subject of an active investigation.
