What The Agency Group does

The Agency Group (legal entity: THE AGENCY GROUP -TAG LIMITED) is a privately-held UK residential estate agency headquartered in Twickenham, operating across Greater London and surrounding counties. The firm provides property sales, lettings, and ongoing property management services for sellers, landlords, buyers, and tenants, with sales listings ranging from £330,000 to £10,000,000 and rentals from £550 per week to £16,000 per month. Its go-to-market is a traditional sales-led agent model built around named partner agents handling end-to-end transactions.

The company's core technology stack is the Rex Software property listing and CRM platform (branded as "Rex Websites"), which powers its public-facing property search portal. Its primary differentiated capability is an in-house film studio used to produce video and media marketing assets for listings, positioned against traditional estate agents that rely on standard photography. The platform architecture is not proprietary; the firm does not develop its own software and no AI, API, or integration layer is disclosed.

The revenue model is commission-based, comprising residential sales commission, lettings fees, and recurring property management subscription revenue. No public pricing is disclosed beyond listing prices for individual properties. The company holds PRS membership and Client Money Protection (CMP) certification, and is required to comply with UK Money Laundering Regulations 2017. The firm is founder-led by Co-Founders Sean Barrett (CEO) and Dannie Walton (COO), with no external institutional investment or parent company identified in the source material.
