What he lacks in height, Gavin Rubinstein makes up for in the art of self-promotion.

Tasked with selling Sydney’s most luxurious properties in the richest market, Gavin isn’t afraid to indulge in his wins. From Instagram posts to his funding his own documentary series, Gavin wants you to know that he’s on top…because he is. But does success breed envy, or is it all a little over the top?

Boss Hunting spends a day with Australia’s top-performing – and most polarising – real estate agent. 

My day with Gavin Rubinstein actually starts the night before. “You training with me tomorrow, champ?” reads the text. It’s a 5 am start, and while I appreciate the offer, I politely decline.

“I’m an early riser,” he explains the next day, at a plush Eastern Suburbs cafe. 

“Kind of like Richard Branson?” I ask, recalling that the rebel billionaire is a famous non-sleeper.

Gavin’s eyes light up. “Exactly.”

Dressed in a hushed blue suit and matching shades – “custom made in Los Angeles” – Gavin is slick. He’s rocking white sneakers and even whiter teeth. As we sip our coffee, three separate people stop by to say hello and talk business. The last is a lycra-clad mum whose beaming teeth match Gavin’s own.
