It’s not every day that a Sunshine Coast real estate agent makes waves on the national stage—but Steven du Preez has done just that. Just three years into his career, Steven has been named a finalist in two of Australia’s most prestigious real estate awards, a remarkable milestone that speaks to his dedication, professionalism, and client-first approach.
Steven is a finalist for Sales Agent of the Year Regional at the REB Awards 2026, placing him among the country’s top regional agents. Adding to this impressive achievement, he’s also one of only three finalists nationally for the 2025 REA Excellence Awards Rising Star of the Year, recognising his rapid career progression and growing influence within the industry.
Since starting with Amber Werchon Property in January 2023 as a single agent, Steven’s vision of raising service standards through transparency, professionalism, and genuine care has flourished. What began as a solo journey has evolved into Team du Preez, a six-member specialist team, and the opening of his Bokarina office, bringing greater accessibility and support to clients across the Sunshine Coast.
Known for his calm approach, strong negotiation skills, and people-first mindset, Steven has built a reputation for delivering results. With over 90 five-star reviews on his realestate.com.au profile and a strong referral network, he is recognised as a trusted expert in local pricing and market trends.
Steven’s national recognition follows a standout year for Amber Werchon Property, which was named REB Boutique Independent Agency of the Year 2025, reflecting the strength of the team and culture he proudly represents.
Winner or not, Steven du Preez’s achievements highlight his impact on the Sunshine Coast property market and cement his place as one of the region’s standout real estate professionals. We are incredibly proud to have Steven as part of our Amber Werchon Property family and to see his dedication and expertise recognised on a national stage.
