Buying our first home was a huge milestone, and we couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent to guide us through the process. From the very beginning, you were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home. Your communication was outstanding throughout every stage of the purchase. We always knew what was happening, our questions were answered quickly, and you had a great balance of friendly conversation and straight to the point house talk. At no point did we feel pressured. Instead, we felt supported, well-informed, and confident in every decision we made. Your honesty, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile gave us complete trust throughout the journey. Thanks to your hard work, we’re now the proud owners of our home at 144 Broderick Road, and we couldn’t be happier. We truly appreciate everything you did to help make this happen. We would highly recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you again for your incredible support and for making such an important milestone a positive and memorable experience. Caleb, Crystal sand Finn.

Michael was everything you need in a REA; helpful, informative, professional and kind. Really helped us through the whole process, highly recommend!

Selling our family home, on land owned for 40-plus years, was never going to be straightforward — and it wasn't! A property of Wairarapa or Kapiti Coast size but only 13kms from Wellington's CBD. From the moment we met Michael Hinds, I knew we were with the right people — for our property and, as it turned out, for us too. Michael turns up an agent and leaves as a friend. Warm, genuine and truly interested in you and your family — not just in selling your house. He digs into what makes your property and story special, and THIS is what he, Mariola and Andrea share with viewers to turn them into buyers. His market knowledge is standout — he knew exactly who Waitakaro was for and how to reach them. There were moments where life intervened in ways none of us could have planned for. Every single time, Michael's response was the same: family first. He meant it. Every time. His communication was constant and honest — every question answered, every call taken, day or night, without hesitation or judgement. When deadline day arrived, he brought multiple offers — exactly what this property deserved. His negotiation skills secured us above BEO and I am genuinely happy with what the team achieved. Between the delays, the life events and the sheer complexity of it all — Michael's professionalism never wavered. We wept, we laughed, and through it all, he kept showing up. If you want an agent who will treat your home and your family with genuine care, patience and professionalism — and who will hold the line for you when it counts — call Michael Hinds. You won't regret it.

​Communication: Outstanding. He was always responsive, honest, and kept me entirely in the loop so I never had to guess what was happening next. ​Service: Exceptional. He went above and beyond to handle every detail smoothly and professionally. ​Vibe: Incredibly friendly and approachable, making what is usually a stressful situation feel completely manageable.

In a market that seemed to be either raining, hibernating, or doing its best impression of a flatline, Michael somehow managed to make magic happen. What sets Michael apart is his ability to see opportunity where others see obstacles. He has an incredibly keen eye for property, understands the market inside and out, and isn't afraid to tackle the flaws head-on. Rather than glossing over things, he knows how to position a property honestly while highlighting its true potential. Throughout the sale of the apartment in Newtown, Michael was professional, dedicated, responsive, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. He also comes equipped with a wicked sense of humour, which is a handy skill when navigating the emotional rollercoaster that can be selling property. Most importantly, Michael earned our trust from day one and repaid it many times over. He worked tirelessly to find the right buyer, and in the end, helped connect someone with a home they genuinely fell in love with. Michael knows his stuff when it comes to real estate. He's authentic, hardworking, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about getting the best result for his clients. To my real estate superhero, thank you. You and your team were outstanding, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone buying or selling property. Five stars and a Moon!

Michael was excellent to work with. He was particularly patient when I was sorting my pre-approval and walked me through the process of purchasing a home—which was really great as a first home buyer. Was very accommodating and made sure I had everything I needed and was always available!

Michael Hinds was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. His communication was outstanding — he kept us fully informed at every stage with prompt, clear updates and was always available to answer questions. What really stood out was his deep market knowledge and sharp negotiation skills. Michael gave us realistic, data-backed advice on pricing and staging, which helped us present the property in the best possible light. When offers came in, he negotiated confidently on our behalf and secured a great outcome. Throughout the process, Michael remained highly professional, patient, and genuinely invested in achieving the best result for us. He made a stressful experience feel much more positive. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone buying or selling — he’s a true professional and a top-tier agent. Thank you, Michael!

We’re absolutely thrilled with our new home and can’t thank Michael enough along with the team at Just Paterson, for all their support throughout the journey. From start to finish, what could have been a stressful process felt smooth, straightforward, and genuinely enjoyable. Michael’s communication was always clear and consistent, and his in-depth knowledge of the market gave us real confidence at every stage. We always felt we were in very capable hands. His friendly, sincere, and approachable manner made it easy to ask questions and stay informed, nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and he always provided the information we needed as buyers. We especially appreciated his patience, responsiveness, and willingness to go the extra mile, we didn’t even have to ask. Michael consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything came together seamlessly, and it truly made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily recommend Michael to anyone buying or selling. Thank you so much Michael, we’re truly grateful for everything you’ve done for us.

Michael is highly methodical throughout the entire process. He communicates clearly, explains each step well, and ensures everything is handled in a timely manner. This makes the experience completely stress-free on our end, as he is organised, reliable, and consistent every step of the way. Despite the challenges of the Wellington market, Michael delivers outstanding results. He is genuine in his approach and tailors his strategies to achieve the best possible outcome. His down-to-earth nature is a plus! I highly recommend Michael and his team for any of your property needs.

Michael and his team provided an efficient, well-coordinated service characterized by clear communication and a genuinely collaborative approach. They prioritized shared decision-making, ensuring every step was discussed and agreed upon. Their willingness to go the extra mile made the entire process seamless. I highly recommend them for their professional, balanced, and highly organised approach to real estate.

From our first interactions with Michael at the open home we attended he was welcoming, friendly and easy to talk to. His guidance and knowledge throughout the process of preparing an offer for the deadline sale was extremely helpful and there was excellent communication from him every step of the way. Keeping us updated and responding to our questions promptly, always had us feeling reassured. We would 100% recommend Michael and the team to anyone looking to buy or sell. They were an absolute pleasure and truly care about the people they are working with.

Michael was easy to work with. Clear communication and a great sense of humor. He showed comprehensive knowledge of the market conditions and we set a competitive and realistic price. This resulted in a successful offer within ten days. Highly professional, respectful and cheerful. Would highly recommend to any person wanting to sell or buy.
