Chris was very responsive to questions asked about the property, professional and polite. He was always willing to help find solutions and get things resolved quickly. I would recommend Chris to anyone.

With Michael and his team, you’ll NEVER feel like “just another listing”

Michael was fantastic throughout the sale of my house. I was living overseas and juggling life across different countries, but he made the process easy and stress-free. From our first conversation, he was warm, patient and easy to get along with. Communication from Michael and his team was outstanding. I received updates after viewings and open homes, always knew what was happening and understood what was happening next. Being so far away could easily have made selling overwhelming, but their organisation and calm reassurance meant I felt fully informed and involved throughout. Michael worked outside normal hours to accommodate the time difference. He was quick to respond and never made any question feel inconvenient. That flexibility and personal commitment went far beyond what I expected from an agent. What especially set Michael apart was his understanding that selling a family home is not simply a financial transaction. He is clearly family-oriented and recognised the emotion and memories involved. He handled that side with genuine empathy and kindness. Michael has great local market, community and area knowledge and gave me lots of honest advice. He created momentum in the sale, even before we listed! which generated genuine competition and brought us multiple offers. We sold within the first week on the market! During negotiations, Michael pushed hard for the best price for us as sellers, while remaining fair and respectful to the buyers. That balance of warmth, integrity and excellent negotiation is rare. Professional, knowledgeable and genuinely lovely to deal with, Michael brought us offers that far exceeded our expectations and he did it all whilst understanding how hard it was to sell our family home. His wider team ensured every detail ran seamlessly from beginning to end. I could not recommend Michael and Team Rea highly enough, you will never feel like 'just another listing'

Anton was great to deal with. Always friendly, approachable and professional. Nothing was too much trouble. We didn’t feel rushed or pressured and he presented us with any option he thought might be viable.

Great communicator with a pleasant manner.

Great communicator with a pleasant manner.

Michael was always friendly and honest. It has been a difficult market to sell in but we felt we were kept informed regarding the big picture of economics, petrol crisis and low sales. He was quick to react with any suggestions we had re updating the website with our house sale on it. We also have to mention the support of the whole team behind Michael who ended up being the front people when Michael was in Rarotonga on holiday. Chris and Anton kept us informed and were the ones who actually managed the offer that came in. I (Lynn) was out of town as well so this was managed very efficiently via group calls via WhatsApp between Anton, Chris, Alan and myself. Anton was very efficient with "getting on with things" as my availability was restricted due to child care responsibilities. Thank you Anton and Chris. Keri was also very helpful making sure things happened. We found the WhatsApp way of communication was excellent. It made us feel we had an easy access to the team. Thank you to all of you for helping our house sale happen.
