⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the very first time I met Michael, we just clicked. Obviously, having another Michael in the room meant we were off to a great start 😂. We connected straight away over football, had plenty of laughs, and I could immediately tell he was genuine, knowledgeable and someone we could trust. When Tayla and I first viewed the property, I liked it enough that I brought my dad back because I thought, this could be the one. As dads do, he gave us his honest opinion, and even he connected really well with Michael. Andrea, who was working alongside Michael, also connected with my dad over women's cricket, which was awesome. From that point, we genuinely felt like we were dealing with people who had our best interests at heart. Throughout the whole process, Michael went above and beyond. We probably set the Guinness World Record for the number of times the sale and purchase agreement was written and rewritten 😂, but he was always patient and made sure everything was tailored to what we needed. He was fantastic throughout the negotiations, helping us get the deal right, and organising the builder for our building report. He kept us updated, communicated incredibly well and made what can be a stressful process feel easy. What really stood out was that Michael genuinely cared about us, not just selling a house. He regularly checked in, made sure Tayla was doing okay, and even made an effort with my family. He absolutely didn't have to do that, but it showed the kind of person he is. 10/10 from Tayla and me. We couldn't recommend Michael highly enough. If we're ever buying another property, he'll be the first person we call!

Michael and his team are oustanding. He is a true gentleman an excellent communicator and above all he delivers. His knowledge of the area, realestate law, and people skills were always on show. I recommend him and his team for your next property deal. Big thanks to Michael and his team

I would have to rate Michael Hinds 20/10. He is the best Real Estate Agent I have ever dealt with and was crucial in the sale of our investment property in central Wellington. Communication from the moment we engaged Michael and the Just Paterson Realty team was excellent. Prior to marketing our property Michael advised us to get a building report because of its monolithic cladding. The report showed some issues that needed attention and as we don’t live in Wellington, Michael became the primary project manager. He worked tirelessly with contractors to rectify these issues so we could market our property with integrity. They also went above and beyond the call of duty by ensuring the property always looked its best for Open Homes. If you are looking for a good real estate agent then look no further. Michael comes with my highest recommendations and I would be happy to be contacted to affirm this. Debbie

My wife and I recently sold an apartment property in Wellington through Michael and his team, Mariola and Andrea, and cannot recommend them highly enough. Before we even went to market, Michael advised us to get a building report done up front. When issues came up, he and the team investigated them thoroughly and arranged for the necessary fixes to be sorted before we listed — advice that made a real difference to how smoothly the sale went. Once we had a conditional offer, they didn't ease off at all. They worked what seemed like all hours of the day and night to keep the marketing and process moving, and got the deal over the line. What made it even more impressive is that the entire process was handled remotely — we didn't travel to Wellington City once during the whole sale. Michael, Mariola and Andrea were professional, proactive and genuinely went above and beyond. We would highly and unreservedly recommend them and Just Paterson to anyone selling a property in Wellington.

Michael exceeded our expectations from start to finish and went above and beyond throughout the process. He was always positive, incredibly responsive and kept us well informed every step of the way. We always felt comfortable with the process and knew exactly what was happening. Michael and the team managed the entire sale while we were out of town, which could easily have made things complicated, but it never felt that way. He kept everything moving, kept us in the loop and took care of all the details without us having to worry. A fantastic agent and genuinely great person to deal with. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Michael service is superb! I have engaged Michael in the past to sell property and what I really value is his honesty. He will make sure that I know what I need to do and when but is always accommodating as well. His communication is always clear and concise but he is so easy to work with and has a great knowledge of the industry and the market so I am always confident in the advice I get. Simply the best!

Our property proved to be difficult to sell, going up for sale in what proved to be a soft market for apartments. It did take some time to sell, but Michael persisted and was able to close a satisfactory deal in an challenging environment.

As first-home buyers, the whole process was completely new to us, but Michael made it so much easier. He was always happy to answer our questions, explain things in a way that made sense, and was never too busy to help. He kept us updated throughout the entire process, especially when we were waiting to hear back on important things, so we always knew what was going on. When a few unexpected issues popped up, Michael went above and beyond to help us work through them and played a big part in getting everything across the line. On top of that, Michael is just a genuinely great guy. He’s approachable, honest, and really cares about getting the best outcome for his clients. We loved working with him and the team, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use him again in the future.

I had an outstanding experience working with Michael and his team. He knows houses, pricing, and buyer expectations. Beyond his expertise, he was a genuine pleasure to deal with—professional, clear, and consistently supportive. I felt confident throughout the process and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell.

Michael and his team helped us sell a Wellington property. He had great communication skills and helped us secure the right buyer. He was knowledgeable and handled everything for us, making the process very easy. Andrea was great behind the scenes keeping everything in line.

We were blown away by our experience with Michael. He is the most genuine and kind person and a highly skilled agent. He made the entire process seamless and stress-free, with excellent communication and hard work to get the sale over the line. We were kept informed every step of the way and Michael and his awesome team went over and above for us. He really is such a lovely guy who I now consider a friend. I would certainly use Michael again and cannot recommend him highly enough.

I have never sold a house before, and having made the decision to move closer to my parents, I needed to move at pace. When we met Michael was instantly warm and friendly. We talked through options and put a campaign plan to me that was exactly what I had asked for. Michael and the advertising team did an amazing job highlighting the features of the house and it was sold within a week. I told Michael the amount I needed to make the purchase of my next home viable, and he negotiated a great deal on my behalf. Michael went above and beyond my expectations offering a water blaster, use of a trailer and popped around the morning of the first open home with a leaf blower to make sure the paths were tidy. A great experience - thanks Michael.
