Edge Real Estate brings decades of transactional rigour and an independence-first approach to three of Australia's most dynamic property markets.
Edge is not a franchise. That is not a footnote — it is the foundation of everything we do differently. No territories, no quotas, no head office telling us how to sell your home. Fewer clients, more time, better results.
The Rate My Agent Trusted Agent badge is not self-nominated and cannot be purchased. It is awarded on the basis of verified client reviews, sustained five-star performance, and consistency of outcome across transactions. Steve Thomas holds this badge — one of a small number of agents in Australia to do so.
Steve Thomas founded Edge seventeen years ago on a single principle: that vendors deserve an agent who works with evidence-based research, without franchise constraints or divided loyalties. A Licensed Agent and qualified Auctioneer holding a Diploma in Property, Steve ranks in the top one percent of ACT salespeople on Rate My Agent for two consecutive years — with over 250 five-star reviews and the coveted Trusted Agent badge. His approach, developed and proven in Canberra, now underpins Edge operations in Victoria and Queensland.
Ilia Mangos spent 31 years owning and operating a Canberra café — building something most agents can't manufacture: a genuine, deep, and trusted personal network. Named Rate My Agent ACT Rising Star of the Year 2025, he brings that relationship-first discipline to Melbourne's prestige residential market and Queensland's coastal corridor, with the founding depth of Edge behind every engagement.
Services extend to buyer's agent work, pre-sale advice, and home styling guidance. A second Dan black belt, Ilia brings the same discipline to negotiation that he teaches on the mat.
Whether you are buying or selling in Melbourne's leafy inner suburbs, along Queensland's coastal corridor, or in the ACT — the Edge approach is the same: direct, informed, and entirely on your side.
