EXCLUSIVE Controversial 'top performing' Ray White real estate agent Josh Tesolin finally comes clean with a staggering admission
One of Australia's most divisive real estate agents has finally broken his silence after Daily Mail Australia revealed that he and his agency were being investigated by NSW Fair Trading for underquoting and complaints. Josh Tesolin, who made headlines in 2021 after he made $7million in commissions at just 26 years old, addressed the investigation publicly for the first time in a podcast interview with fellow agent Adrian Bo that was released on May 28. Tesolin, who is the owner and principal of Ray White Quakers Hill in Sydney 's northwest, said the investigation had been 'going on for three years, now'. 'What are we being investigated for? Fair Trading came in, asked for files, we complied with the regulator,' Tesolin continued. 'Anything the regulator has asked, whether it be 500 files... three files... we have completely complied with the regulator at every single stage.' Tesolin also took the opportunity to lash his critics, telling Bo they were simply jealous of his success. 'As you know Adrian... tall poppy syndrome is a big thing in this industry,' he said. His admission about the long-running NSW Fair Trading investigation contradicts the statement the Ray White Group provided to Daily Mail Australia a month earlier, which claimed that 'Josh Tesolin is not aware of any personal investigation into him'. Tesolin (pictured) was awarded the Number 1 Agent in Australia award via RateMyAgent four times in 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 out of 60,000 real estate agents 'Rather, on 16 March 2023, the corporate licensee responded to an investigation by NSW Fair Trading; since that date, there has been no penalty, fine or regulatory action taken by NSW Fair Trading against the corporate licensee or Mr Tesolin,' it said. A Fair Trading spokesperson confirmed this week that 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.' It's understood the investigation will be completed in the coming weeks. When contacted by Daily Mail Australia about Tesolin's comments on the podcast, Ray White said it was unaware of the 'specific matters' under investigation. 'The Ray White Group has always offered its full cooperation and support to NSW Fair Trading in any investigation of its members,' a spokesperson said. 'In relation to Ray White Quakers Hill, we have still not been informed of the specific matters under investigation, despite being told by the media. 'NSW Fair Trading have provided Ray White - the franchisor - with no formal communication regarding its investigation regarding Josh Tesolin.' Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting Tesolin has engaged in underquoting, only that NSW Fair Trading is investigating his agency in Quakers Hill. 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, standing out among over 60,000 real estate agents nationwide. Never one to shy away from celebrating his achievements, Tesolin made a bold statement at a real estate conference in New Zealand, debuting a custom-made jacket adorned with images of properties he's had a hand in selling. Under NSW law, real estate agents must provide a reasonable estimate of a property's likely selling price in the agency agreement. If a price range is used in advertising, the highest price must not exceed the lowest price by more than 10 per cent. In NSW, underquoting is an offence, attracting penalties of up to $22,000. A property sold on June 5 by the Tesolin Group was guided at $950,000, much lower than the $1,145,000 it sold for in 2021. The home in Riverstone ultimately sold for $1,351,000, a difference of 42 per cent from the reserve. Tim McKibbin, the CEO of the Real Estate Institute of NSW, said it was unusual for a property to be listed for less than its previous sale price in the current market. 'I'm not shocked that it was marketed at a lower price, but generally, you wouldn't expect a property to sell for less than it previously did,' he told Daily Mail Australia. 'There could be a multitude of factors influencing this, the property may have been damaged, or there may have been changes in the surrounding area. 'All of these elements can impact a property's value.' The agent interviewing Tesolin, Mr Bo, made headlines in 2019 after he was forced to resign from McGrath Real Estate in the city's eastern suburbs. His resignation came in the wake of an investigation into a complaint that Bo had reportedly asked a much younger staffer 'how many c***s he had sucked?'

What to do if your house keys are lost – and when you get new ones
Rummaging around in your bag or pocket for your house keys and coming up empty is a sure way to make your heart sink. Whether you have misplaced them or they have gone missing for good, it's important to act quickly in order to keep your home secure. These are some steps you can take: Here's what you can do if you find yourself in this situation: Retrace your steps and look in the places where you usually leave your keys. Start where you last remember having them and check where you have been since. If a passerby outdoors has found your keys, it's possible they may have put them somewhere visible – on a wall or bench, for example. Check if you have left a spare key with a neighbour, family member or friend. Also, notify anyone you live with, such as a housemate or partner. This can help you get into your home, but does not remove any potential security risks. Report the missing keys to the police. Providing a clear description of what they and any keyrings look like will help the police get them back to you in the event that they are handed in. Post on your neighbourhood Facebook or WhatsApp group, or on an app such as Nextdoor, to see whether they have been picked up by someone. Do not include your address. If you think you probably lost your keys some way from your home, and there is no identifying information on them that could lead someone to the property, then some people would take the view that you don't need to get your lock rekeyed or changed. (Rekeying is the process of changing the internal mechanism of a lock so old keys no longer work and a new set of keys can be used, and is generally cheaper than changing the whole lock.) But you may want to, just to be on the safe side. And if you have lost your only set of keys, you are going to need to call a locksmith. It is worth calling round a few firms to get quotes, and agree the price before the work is done. Emergency locksmiths are available 24/7 so can help even in the early hours of the morning. The price can vary depending on the time of day and the type of lock. If you are renting the property, you need to tell your landlord or housing association. They might be able to help with lock changes or provide a spare key in some cases. Once you have dealt with any immediate security concerns, there are a few more things you can do to prevent future problems: Get a spare key (or two) cut in case you lose them again. It is not wise to keep it under the doormat or a flowerpot – leave it with someone nearby whom you trust. You may want to consider investing in a key safe or lockbox to securely store a spare key. If you don't know anyone in your area, this is a safe alternative – as long as you remember the code, and to put the key back afterwards. Consider getting a smart lock if you are worried about losing your keys again. These allow you to unlock your door without a physical key using a code, card or app on your smartphone. Companies such as Yale sell various types, and tech websites such as TechRadar have have recommendations of which to buy. If you already have a smart lock, make sure you update the access code or deactivate any lost key cards. Think about buying a Bluetooth tracking device such as an Apple AirTag, a Tile Mate tracker or the Chipolo One tracke You can attach this to your keys (or a bag or purse). This can help locate them if they go missing again.
