Murray helped the reviewer sell this property

Terrible experience

I felt completely misled and disappointed with Murray Kennedy as my real estate agent. Before we signed the contract, he told us the market was hot and that the house would sell easily. He was friendly, confident, and full of promises. But once we signed, things changed. The house stayed on the market for 6 weeks, and we didn’t get any serious offers during that time. By the third week, he told us the market had “shifted,” which seemed very convenient—especially since we were now locked into an exclusive contract. By week five, his tone changed again. He started saying we might have to accept a lower offer. And in week six, we finally got an offer—significantly lower than what we had discussed and agreed on in our initial meeting. Despite this, he advised us to take it. Throughout the process, I felt like he was working more in the buyer’s interest than ours. Communication was poor, and when we asked reasonable questions, his answers were often rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. His behavior felt ego-driven, and I never felt truly supported as a seller. Honestly, I regret not selling the house myself. I’ve sold a farm on Facebook Marketplace in the past and had a better experience. If you have the time, you’re better off paying a small fee to an online agent to list on RealEstate.com.au or Domain, and handling the process on your own. It would have saved us both money and stress. Murray Kennedy is just like many other agents—nice until they get your signature. After that, you’re on your own. I absolutely do not recommend him.
