Latest reviews in Kensington
As a first home buyer, working with Renee was amazing, great communication, super friendly and made the process an absolute breeze. 100% would recommend and work with again
I found the communication on Whatsapp a little confusing for a start and I may have appreciated being asked if this was suitable for my IT level, however I did get used to it and I did appreciate that all the communication was in one place, including the Open Home reports. The information provided in each message was clear and concise. I also very much appreciated the direct phone calls and discussions. The Rout Group achieved a a good result at sale. I would ask that when discussing commissions/set fee that the figure quoted is including GST, I feel that when working alongside non-business people that the figure quoted should be the end result figure, not a GST exclusive figure, I have had it said 'that's what everyone does' that may be true for business partners, but it isn't for lay people, both figures could be included in the agreement.
I found Alex to be very helpful and accommodating during the purchase of my house. Communication with Alex was clear, fast and friendly. He was quick to relay responses from the vendors and was able to accommodate viewings at convenient times for me.
Denise was recommended to us by a friend of the family as we were having no success in selling our property. Working with an agent that brings understanding, reassurance, trustworthiness was refreshing as we tried to sell our property for a 4th time. Both Denise & Alex worked alongside us, bring a wealth of knowledge that we hadn't seen before. We would absolutely recommend Denise as a reliable & trustworthy agent to anyone wishing to list a property.
Alex's work ethic, communication, reassuring words and just the ability to not quit speaks volumes. These qualities, alongside the humor & understanding that he has exemplified throughout the process, were highly commendable. We would absolutely recommend Alex as a reliable, trustworthy & all-round good guy to anyone wishing to list a property.
Graeme has a wealth of market knowledge and is an agent we can trust. He is very responsive to our questions.

The RateMyAgent Experience
Every verified review on RateMyAgent is linked to a specific property transaction, ensuring that the feedback comes from real buyers and sellers. This also allows you to view key property details - such as location and number of bedrooms - so you can find reviews relevant to your own real estate journey. With our verification process, you can trust that the experiences shared are real, reliable, and helpful.
Integrity is at the core of what we do. We conduct rigorous daily integrity checks on all reviews, using multi-stage verification to analyse submission data and behavioural patterns for potential anomalies. Suspicious reviews may be rejected outright or escalated for further scrutiny by our internal team.
Transparency and fairness are core to how RateMyAgent works. While it’s sometimes assumed that only positive reviews appear on our platform, that’s not the case.
Only clients involved in an actual transaction with an agent can leave a review. This helps ensure authenticity and prevents fake or anonymous feedback. Agent's have no control over what’s written - every review, whether positive or critical, is published and remains visible.
Through verified reviews and price satisfaction insights, we highlight top-performing agents who consistently exceed client expectations. All agents can request and collect reviews for free, and subscription status has no impact on rankings or award eligibility. Our Agent of the Year Awards and platform rankings are based solely on verified client feedback and performance. By celebrating excellence fairly and transparently, we help consumers find the best agents with confidence.
