Mike was efficient and easy to deal with throughout the entire process. His never ending optimism and positivity rubbed off and he ensured there was very little for us to do other than turn up to a great result Highly recommended 👌
We initially commenced a dialogue with Mike regarding the possibility of selling our Pukekohe investment property many months ago. On the first and subsequent occasions we contacted him he provided helpful and honest market advice and we quickly built a trust in the information he was providing. When we eventually decided to list the property Mike was the obviously choice to do the job. Through all aspects of listing, marketing, receiving of offers, negotiating with multiple offerors, and reporting back to us, Mike exceeded our expectations. He is energetic and responsive and the standard of communication throughout the whole process was first rate. All dealings have been conducted in a thoroughly professional manner. Mike achieved an excellent result for us and we highly recommend him. Best wishes for a very successful career in real estate Mike.
We have said this to Mike directly, but he was the only Real Estate we have engaged with that actually listened to what we were after, and did everything in his power to make it happen. We feel very lucky to have met him at the right time, in the right place! Thank you so much! We are beyond excited
Despite agents working for vendors, Mike was great and supportive of my partner and I in securing the purchase of our house. No question was stupid and if Mike did not know the answer to a question, he endeavoured to find out. He did not pressure us and was great at the end process after we had won the auction. We have no objection in recommending Mike.
Mike was fantastic to deal with. He delivered on his promises with absolute professionalism and care. He is an asset to Baleys
We bought our first rental property with Mike and it couldn't have been easier. Mike is an excellent communicator and was very professional. We couldn't be happier with the whole experience. Highly recommended!!!
Our property manager recommend Mike as the agent we needed to deliver our result. Mike was a good an keeping us informed and was happy to respond to challenges and where the value was in a marketing approach. He was also negotiable on other terms :) Being remote it was important to have an agent we could trust and have the confidence that having employed a professional, he'd deliver the agreed outcome - and we weren't disappointed. We got a simple, fast and painless result. And on this basis I'd suggest you give Mike very serious consideration on being your agent too.
Mike has been professional and understanding all throughout the process. The prospect of an auction has been daunting but Mike was encouraging and was helpful in getting what we needed so we can participate. The end result was the best outcome for us and hopefully the vendors. We are extremely happy and couldn’t wait to move in to our first home.
Mike was professional, thorough and worked hard to get us the desired result. He had a no-nonsense attention to detail...keeping us in the loop after each open home and weekly summaries. All in all a pleasure to deal with.
We were thrilled with every step of the journey. We were kept well informed and received great professional service, thank you so much!
Mike was lovely when we first met him and he showed us our house. After we won the Auction he made us feel bad that he had to console the people who we outbid which was just the first thing, even though it should have been an exciting time for us, he was more focused on them. The documents were all signed, and then a few days later he asked us to push out our settlement date to a week later, which we couldn't do due to previous arrangements, if we were to push the date out it would have had to have been by an extra 2 weeks as that was the only time we have free. He made us feel terrible for not being able to change the date. He told us he would arrange a time for us to meet the owners and neighbours and tell us everything we needed to know, never happened. the only time we ever heard from him, was when he was trying to cover his own ass for his mess ups. Mike lied to us throughout the entire process and i would never deal with him again.
Mike had the difficult task of selling both our home and rental property so that we could purchase our "forever dream-home". We were very nervous about whether both properties could be sold in time to to meet the finance deadline for our purchase, but Mike's marketing campaign was top notch, he gave us honest realistic price expectations (other agents often give inflated estimates to get you to sign with them). Mike also gave us great advice on how to improve our properties value prior to going live with the marketing campaigns. throughout the process Mike was methodical, and displayed confidence in his marketing strategy - Even despite the un announced level 3 lockdown happening the day after the campaign went live! With the challenge of level 3 lockdown, Mike slightly adjusted his game-plan to suit and still got us sale prices well over expectation, and in half the allocated time! if lockdown put him under pressure, it certainly did show! Mike went way beyond what other agents have provided for us in the past, with landscaping advice, and issues we have regarding moving, and storage. We are moving into our "forever dream home" in a few weeks, and I think it is safe to say it would probably not be happening if we had chosen a different agent. In future we will only be dealing with Mike, and we thoroughly recommend him. To quote the movie Lone Survivor - "Mike Murphy? ...... The Mike Murphy!"
