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.
Seller of 73B Grosvenor Street, Kensington
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.

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.

Buyer of 2/27 Arthur St, Dunedin Central
She has an excellent knowledge of the property and was always available when I either required information or requested a viewing. On viewing the property she had a very good knowledge of the building and enabled me to take my time and get a real sense of what it would be like to live there. There was never any sense of having to rush. She was also prepared to offer helpful advice regarding things like window treatments
Seller of 30 Somerville Street, Andersons Bay
Melissa showed excellent knowledge of the sale area and kept us fully informed of buyer interest and developments throughout the process. The property was owned by my elderly father who is in a care facility and Melissa showed great compassion in also keeping him in the conversation. I found her commitment to making the process simple and enjoyable to be well above any previous experience with the real estate industry.
Buyer of 23 North Taieri Road, Abbotsford
I had an awesome experience working with Melissa Shipman. She was super easy to talk to, always quick to respond, and really knew her stuff. Melissa made the whole process way less stressful than I expected and guided me through every step without any pressure. If you’re looking for someone who’s genuinely helpful and on top of things, I definitely recommend her
