Rona at Bellevue Hill, which was the big springtime prestige listing, nears year-end still for sale.

The 1880s Bellevue Hill hilltop estate joined the already plentiful harbourfront offerings, including John Symond's $100 million plus Wingadal at Point Piper, the Fox trucking family's Elizabeth Bay Spanish Mission home, Boomerang and Elaine at Double Bay which the Fairfax family have been seeking to sell for the past three years.

The modernised Rona, a Victorian Rustic Gothic Revival style abode has been home for the past 12 years to the property developer Terry Agnew and his wife, Kyril. 

Rona remains listed through veteran agent, Bart Doff at Laing & Simmons Double Bay inconjunction with Ben Collier whose is departing McGrath Estate Agents after 23 years.

He has two days to add it to his personal annual sales tally which came in at $278 million in 2015, up from $216 million in 2014. McGrath's 700 agents sell $7 billion plus annually.

McGrah's Central Coast agent Mat Steinwede ranks as the group's top seller, with his recent sales including more than $7 million record secured by property developer Jason Gazal for a three-year long Pacific Street, Wamberal property listing.

Sydney's eastern suburbs star performer has been - as far as taking public credit - Alexander Phillips at the Phillips Pantzer Donnelley agency which looks set to narrowly fall short of a record $1 billion in sales this year. 

Phillips' personal tally has risen from $200 million in 2013 to $390 million last year.

Altona was the big Sydney sale when the Point Piper harbourfront fetched $61 million plus in mid-November, with its selling agents yet to take credit.

The CoreLogic report, Best of the Best 2016 detailed Point Piper's median house price as $6.62 million.
