As someone based in another city with a hard to sell listing, it was important that I found someone I trusted to take on my property and produce the outcomes I wanted. I was recommended to use Ganesh and his team through a few different people on the basis that they have a reputation for being incredibly trustworthy and hardworking. I think anyone can sell an easy property but it takes a really good agent to sell a hard one in a short amount of time and still attain a favourable outcome in a less than ideal market. Ganesh was tenacious from day one. He never gave up, stayed committed throughout the entire process, and always followed through on what he said he would do. He worked tirelessly alongside his team, keeping me informed each step of the way, and continued to push forward even when things became challenging. His market knowledge, negotiation skills, perseverance, professionalism, and work ethic is exactly what you want out of a real estate agent, I couldn't recommend him and the team more highly.
Buyer of 18 Burnett St, Calton Hill
I am so grateful for the outstanding service provided by Mr. Ganesh and The Rout Group throughout the entire home-buying process. From the very start, they were incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. Their communication was second to none—always proactive, incredibly prompt with updates, and consistently accessible. What really stood out was their genuine warmth and welcoming nature, which immediately put me at ease. Compared to other agents I met, their humble and approachable demeanor made me feel heard and valued, ensuring a stress-free and empowering path to homeownership. I highly recommend their services to anyone searching for their perfect home.

Stephen, Jacqui and Ame were able to get us a Top Price for a very challenging worn out ex rental that requires a lot of work. We were very concerned with the state of the property and thought Team Johnston might not want to sell the house. They took on the property, were confident the house would sell with the right marketing showing the full potential of the house. They put our minds at rest. We received 8 offers in total for the house. They showed great market knowledge by advising a sell price for the home after sourcing quotes to reflect true costs for a new buyer to modernise the home. We were kept up to date by texts, emails and phone calls. None of our questions or phone calls were a bother. We had complete trust in them. I/We would definitely use Team Johnston for any future house sales within our family and recommend them to others.

Alice and Abbey truly are a dream team in the real estate business. They made the entire process stress-free and their communication was outstanding at all times. True professionals who knew exactly how to get the best offer in the shortest amount of time. The marketing and photos were great and drew quite a crowd to the first open home on a Sunday. Another open home a day later and then multiple offers presented on the Friday! We honestly couldn't have asked for better and would highly recommend Alice and Abbey to anyone that needs results selling their home with friendly, calm, professional agents.
Seller of 52 Ryehill Street, Calton Hill
We took a long time to finally put our house on the market and were not in a rush to sell, but Alice was patient with us as we got it ready over a couple of years. She touched base with us a few times but without being pushy. Once we finally got it on the market, she communicated regularly with us through the selling process, making sure she listened carefully to what we wanted. She was responsive to questions and always got back to us quickly if we had questions. She was clear about the sale process and positive and reassuring throughout the time it took to sell. She usually gave us plenty of warning about private viewings. We really enjoyed selling with her and would recommend her as a fantastic agent to work with! Thanks Alice!

Laura was wonderful to work with. She was responsive and available when needed without being over-bearing which I have found with previous agents. Easy to work with, warm, friendly and goes above and beyond. She even stood out in a rainstorm holding an umbrella over me while I put the SOLD sign up!
