I put my apartment in the Central City on the market. A cute one-bedroom apartment that had been originally converted from a commercial unit. Its selling points were its positioning, its storage and the large outdoor area. A rare combo, if you ask me, but I had to convince the estate agent of that ... or so I thought. Caroline got it IMMEDIATELY and promised that she would target the marketing of this apartment to the buyers who would be interested in this quirky apartment. She did EXACTLY what she promised. Selling an apartment in the lead up to Christmas is never easy. She provided us with options for advertising and put us in touch with the most AMAZING dressers who really showed off the finest features of the apartment. It almost gave me second thoughts! She communicated at each stage of the process - I've not done this before but she really held our hand. And ultimately she found us four buyers over the Christmas period and we accepted an offer just after the New Year. Caroline is AUTHENTIC. She absolutely cares about her clients. There's no doubt in my mind. And you know how I know? Because after we exchanged with the buyer we got in touch with Just Paterson and they told us that she'd had to leave the City to fly to the other side of the world for family reasons. I would never have guessed because despite going through her own stuff she NEVER MISSED A BEAT. She stayed CONSISTENT, SUPPORTIVE and DELIVERED whilst all the time being WARM, ATTENTIVE, and CLEAR. I don't recommend many things but i DO recommend selling your home with Caroline. Caroline, I can't thank you enough. In this market, at this time of year, I can tell you that I after putting my apartment on the market in November, exchanging in February I am now in the position of being able to take possession of my new-build at the end of March. Thank you so much for all that you did. I hope you are well. You have single-handedly changed my view of what agents do and who they are as people.

Michael was phenomenal to work with, he is kind, welcoming, knowledgeable and trustworthy. We felt a genuine sense of him going "above and beyond" and he was always honest and transparent with us. He is truly passionate about helping people and put in a lot of time during the home viewing to ensure we understood all key features of a healthy home! He is easy to communicate with via email, text or call. Michael's a real people person and it definitely eased a lot of anxiety we had. Buying a home is stressful and exhausting and Michael's support made this process so simple and easy! Once we heard the good news that our offer had been accepted, Michael and his partner Dom sent us flowers and continously praised and congratulated us! It has been an awesome experience as first time home buyers and we will always be grateful for his service. Hand on heart reccomend, thank you so much Michael.

Michael was the most organised and prepared of the agents we talked to, and he gave us confidence we'd be in good hands. He gave us an accurate prediction of what the house would sell for, and gave good advice on complicated negotiations once prospective buyers appeared. We're happy to recommend.

Michael has been great from the get-go! He would spend time getting to know us and really understand what we are looking to achieve. He listens. His relentless work ethic drives us to the end results we were looking for. A great negotiator who is able to draw on his experience in crucial times of the deal to see it through. Michael was also great at communicating with us throughout the whole selling process. Grateful to have worked with Michael and definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking to sell!

Selling a house can be stressful without a doubt! But when you have a great agent like Michael who is willing to go the extra mile for you and has a heart of gold, it makes the process of getting through that much more worth it. Michael is definitely the person you want to put your trust in when it comes to selling your home. Thank you Michael for being so patient with us and putting in all the hours to communicate with us, negotiate for us and help us get through the process. We were able to reach our goal because of you and the team and are extremely grateful.

My partner and I are both first-time homebuyers. We had been looking for a house for a long time and we were about to give up, but not anymore as we have just been accepted for our first home thanks to Mike! Mike is an amazing agent to work with who has an abundant amount of knowledge, great charisma and a warm, kind and welcoming personality. Mike took us through the house viewing personally and professionally by touring the whole house with us, providing us with valuable knowledge regarding the property/land. He also provided insight detailing the renovations completed by the previous owner and how the property was prior to the renovations which was very interesting to hear and good to know. Mike's communication was always swift and on point. If we needed to query about something regarding the property, Mike would always get a response to us within the hour or give us a call to discuss the situation over the phone. Mike has been a pleasure to work with, he is upfront, honest, swift and hardworking. Mike's work ethic, knowledge, skills and personality all contributed to a smooth transaction on the property. If you're looking for a property yourself, I would recommend checking out Mike's listing and head in for a house viewing to meet the man yourself!

From the very beginning, Michael was supportive and committed in both selling our family home of 32 years, and finding a new home to suit our needs. He took the time to understand our family dynamics and I will forever be grateful for the care and understanding he provided for our circumstances. Michael's honesty and knowledge of the market is second to none, and I feel a lot of agents could learn a great deal from him. I now consider him to be a friend and I will definitely be recommending him to all I know

Michael went above and beyond for us selling our house. In a tough market and with us selling by distance Michael worked hard to ensure we were getting people through and the house was looking good for presentation. Because we were out of the city having someone we could trust to stay on top of things was important. We never had to chase Michael for anything, he was always on the ball, following up potential buyers, keeping us informed and keeping an eye on all the details. Michael was great with our buyers and seemed to build a rapport with everyone who came in the door, which helped us to know where buyers were at. Michael is a true professional and a great guy.

Michael is a star. As new immigrants to New Zealand, my partner and I had zero experience in purchasing a house here. We thought the process would be much daunting and tiring until we met Michael who was absolutely friendly, patient, and helpful. Michael’s strength lies in not only his professionalism, but also his integrity and caring attitude. He always listened to our concerns and responded to our questions in a timely and respectful manner, which soothed our stress of dealing with the ‘unknown’. He made himself available after work hours and even on weekends to reply to our emails and texts. He communicated clearly and transparently, keeping our negotiation with the vendors in a positive direction. In short, based on my experience with him, Michael’s impeccable services would not be achieved without his genuineness in helping people which distinguishes him in the Real Estate Industry.

We just had the best experience with Caroline. Her advice was absolutely flawless, and she was really patient taking us through what could have been a really challenging sale. She was always available to help out, and genuinely felt part of the team while we were going through all the detailed things we needed to sort out. We're almost sorry we don't have another property to sell so we could team up with her again. Can't recommend her highly enough.

It was a great pleasure to meet Michael to buy our first home. He is a very friendly, communicative and responsible person. We are very happy that Michael is our agent for our first home. As a first home buyer, we've got lots of questions and queries. He always responds positively and quickly to all our questions and needs. We are so grateful for everything he has done for us. If you need a real estate agent, I would 100% recommend Michael, you won't regret it.
