We feel fortunate to have made contact with Mike Hughes. He understood our requirements and turned them into action. We were impressed by his urgency and integrity. We would not hesitate to engage Mike again when requiring real estate considerations. We wish him well.

Great sales experience

Once we had decided to market our property Leanne was excellent to deal with. From start to finish of the process she kept us fully informed every step of the way and if plan A didn't work there was always a back up. Nothing was too much trouble and Leanne went above and beyond to secure us the best possible price for our property. A pleasure to work with and well backed up by the rest of the Southerby's team.

Excellent Real estate agent, very highly recommend.

Mike Hughes is a very good, thorough Real Estate agent. His extensive knowledge and experience of the housing market and area makes me feel very safe and comfortable to totally put my trust in him. Having sold us 2 houses now, I completely and honestly could not recommend an agent high enough. His great communication and attention to detail is testament to his success. Mike makes the whole process of buying a house simple, uncomplicated and a pleasurable experience.

Excellent Knowledge and Service

Mike provided a thorough written market comparison and appraisal prior to us making a decision to list our property. He clearly explained the selling options and marketing process with us and at no time did we feel pressured. His knowledge and communication was great and we were very happy with the sale outcome. We would be very happy to recommend Mike.

Reliable and dedicated to the end result.

Reliable and dedicated to the end result.

As any buyer in the current market will say it is a very competitive, difficult process negotiating against numerous others with prices at record levels. We were the successful buyers against numerous others all the while communicating with Mike on a daily basis as the deadline date approached. Mike was particularly fair and open with us indicating that all buyers are treated equally and given the multi offer situation Mike was at pains to ensure all offers were not presented through him, but rather the independence of the Office Manager. This gave us great confidence in Mike's trustworthiness and professionalism and experience. Mike remained in touch and kept us abreast of developments throughout what turned out to be a lengthy negotiation process, handling the expectations of the vendor with expertise, ultimately resulting in a successful contract for both parties. Of course we would have no hesitation in recommending Mike as trustworthy, straight up and dedicated to a good end result.
