Now in his second year at the helm of Move, which operates Realtor.com, Eales is working to achieve the same success he saw turning REA Group’s realestate.com.au into Australia’s dominant real estate portal. He has proven a fierce competitor and savvy leader, as he works to solidify his portal’s position amid the entrance of a dynamic and well-resourced competitor in Homes.com. In 2024, Eales increased Realtor.com’s marketing spending, which included a successful campaign highlighting the value of buyer’s agents by listing all they do. Eales also deepened his industry presence and his influence at events and in interviews in 2024.
