JAS Stephens Real Estate, a long-established agency serving Melbourne’s inner-west, has received multiple honours at the 2026 RateMyAgent Awards, highlighting its continued performance across both residential sales and property management.
The agency was recognised with Independent Agency of the Year (Australia) and Rental Agency of the Year – Victoria, two of the program’s key awards. The RateMyAgent Awards are determined using verified client reviews and sales data, providing industry recognition based on customer satisfaction and transaction performance.
Michael Rowland: “Patrick well and thoroughly exceeded our expectations, absolutely terrific from the start to the auction day. He guided us through the process, was realistic regarding expectations and price, and gave excellent advice on preparing the house. He was always available.”
In addition to the agency-level honours, several individual agents from the firm received suburb-level awards across Melbourne’s west. These included:
- Agent of the Year – Footscray
- Agent of the Year – West Footscray
- Agent of the Year – Yarraville
- Rising Star of the Year – Victoria

The results reflect the agency’s continued presence in Melbourne’s inner-west property market, where suburbs such as Yarraville and Footscray have experienced sustained demand from buyers, sellers, and renters.
Local market activity across the inner-west has remained steady in recent years, supported by population growth, proximity to Melbourne’s CBD, and ongoing residential development. Real estate agencies operating in these suburbs play a key role in managing both sales transactions and rental portfolios as demand evolves.
