A 26-year-old real estate agent made $7million in sales commissions in the last year as Australia's housing market continues to sky rocket.

Ray White Quakers Hill principal Josh Tesolin pocketed the millions selling 350 properties in western Sydney last year, averaging almost one property sold a day.

He broke the previous record for most transactions in a year by a Ray White agent but said he's not satisfied and wants to sell even more properties this year.

It sounds like his wish might come true as future homeowners flock to grab a spot in Sydney's limited real estate market.

'We met 233 buyers at our first weekend of open homes … In my first week back in 2022, my office has 20 properties already under offer,' Mr Tesolin told Realestate.com.

'A lot of people think the new year is the right time to buy a home. We just had our biggest two weeks of buyer inquiry, more than the last three months combined.' 

Mr Tesolin works in Quaker's Hill and surrounding suburbs and said his success comes down to his work ethic and great team.

'I'm super exhausted after selling so many properties last year, 350 properties was a stretch. It takes raw energy and commitment to working 24/7 to be able to sell as many properties as I have with my team,' he said.

HOUSTON — The Houston Heights auto-repair shop owner who was attacked and run over by a carjacker earlier this month has been released from the hospital.

Tarfin Micu was seriously injured trying to prevent the thief from stealing a customer’s vehicle he was repairing.

“I love what I’m doing,” Micu said. “I enjoy what I’m doing.”

 Micu is still unable to work and he cannot walk.

“The whole thing crushed,” Micu said about his swollen leg that remains in a cast. “When the car hit me, it damaged my hips and my back and also cracked one rib.”

The morning of Jan. 14 began as usual for Micu. He had stepped inside the garage of his shop while he was working on a customer’s Cadillac.

“I heard the slam, and when I go there, the hood was still open,” Micu said. “He got in the car, and I tried to open the door and he locked it.”

As the mechanic struggled to grab the key fob, he said he was punched in the face and then run over.

The thief in the Cadillac hit the business next door and then sped off.

Last week, Houston police released a video taken from a nearby convenience store right before the carjacking.

“Life is not easy,” Micu said. “I’ve been working very hard. Long hours.”

The political refugee from Romania came to the United States more than 30 years ago and opened Fixer’s Automotive in the Heights.

After hearing his story, customers, neighbors and strangers have been leaving support. A GoFundMe account created by a neighbor has raised more than $70,000.

Letters of support and checks have continued to arrive at the mechanic’s shop.

“I am overwhelmed with the response that came with the help and everything which was very shocking,” Micu said. “I did not expect that generosity.”

Although he doesn’t know the day he’ll be able to start fixing cars again, Micu is asking customers to keep checking. They know where to find him.

“I’ll be here,” Micu said. “I’ll be here forever.”
