Last updated on Wednesday, May 27, 2026 ( View Agent Profile of Kaan Ristic)
Kaan is a founding member at Ristic, and today sits at the helm as our Managing Director and intrepid leader. It’s a position he handles with an assured confidence developed over 25 years in customer service, 21 of which have been as a member of the Real Estate Institute of Victoria.
As a sales specialist, Kaan believes that consistency is the key to success in real estate and in life. Whether he’s selling a one-bedroom unit or a four-million dollar mansion, his level of commitment and engagement doesn’t change.
It’s this same consistent commitment that has seen him propel Ristic to soaring industry heights, gleaning a number of awards along the way, including:
· Winner for Customer Service in the City of Whittlesea 2023
· REIV Awards for Excellence: 2024 Finalist for Medium Residential Agency of the Year
· REB Awards: 2022 Finalist for Property Management Business of the Year
In a personal capacity he was also recognised by the Real Estate Institute of Victoria as a winner in the 2022 Operational Leadership awards and the Real Estate Institute of Australia as a finalist in the 2023 Operational Leadership award category
A licensed real estate agent, Kaan has a BA in Multimedia and a Cert IV in Business (Estate Agency Practice). He’s a strong believer in self-development, and this translates to an engaged leadership style where his team are empowered to be the best possible versions of themselves. This creates a progressive office culture with growth and learning firmly at its core.
Real estate transactions usually represent a new chapter for whoever is involved, whether its vendors, tenants, or landlords. The responsibility of the real estate agency in moving onto this new chapter isn’t lost on Kaan. His aim is for Ristic to provide a world class service that produces exceptional, positive results, helping people move onto their next chapter with a smile on their face.
A family man at heart, Kaan has three kids to keep him busy in his home life. And when he’s not running the office, you might just find him running a marathon or indulging in Japanese cuisine or the latest Star Wars movie.
Kaan is always happy to answer questions about the real estate industry, so please get in touch with him if you have any.
