Michael and Tatyana were full of knowledge about our area and had helpful suggestions about how we could get our house ready for market. Michael worked to ensure our property was sold at a reasonable price in the current market and also assisted us in buying our new home.

We have recently both purchased and sold with Michael and were impressed by the passion he has for negotiation. His authentic style makes you feel like he truly cares about getting the best deal for both parties. We would have appreciated if our market appraisal had been more aligned to where the market was heading rather than where it had been so to better manage our expectations; the market dip was expected so consideration for this should have been built into the expected sell price. Also based on our type of house (stucco / cross-lease), we are not convinced that selling via auction was the best decision nor was it the best utilisation of Michaels skill set. Negotiation is really what he excels at! The whole process was, however, very smooth and speedy, with lots of interest as a result of the marketing campaign. We appreciate all the work Michael and the team did to help us close this milestone in our lives.

I am writing this letter to acknowledge the wonderful work Michael and Tatyana done in selling our house in Meadowbank. I have spoken with a few of top agents in the area and choose to work with team Ataman. At first, I don’t trust they would work for the best interest of the vendor. The market is very difficult, but Michael and Tatyana didn’t pressure us on taking the offer we are not comfortable. They always support us. We end up receiving another offer which is higher than the first one. Michael and Tatyana have negotiated very hard even though we would of accept a much lower offer. They have earned my trust by being a great real estate agent that truly fight for vendor’s best interest. After the second offer falls, Michael and Tatyana have tried different method of selling, and eventually we sold our house unconditionally. Although selling house in difficult market is a very painful process, I am very pleased with Michael and Tatyana hard work. I would recommend anyone who is selling house to use team Ataman.

I have known Michael for many years and entrusted him with sale of my home because he is a highly experienced professional agent who certainly goes the extra mile for his clients. We had been discussing the transaction for about 4years - he is very patient, not pushy at all. Michael is a most hard-working experienced agent who is passionate about getting the right outcome for his clients. He is extremely knowledgeable of current market trends and the local areas; this is very evident in conversations with him. His consistent honest and trustworthy approach were key factors to the successful sale of my property within 3 weeks of marketing it. Michael was a pleasure to work with and his dedication made the whole process seamless and stress free for me. He ensured I was kept up to date throughout the process and this meant I had complete confidence in his ability to achieve the best outcome for me. I highly recommend Michael and his team whether you’re buying or selling; you will be pleasantly surprised. 😊

We are so pleased we selected Michael and Tatyana Ataman to assist us in the marketing and sale of our home. Their work ethic is commendable, with honest advice and feedback throughout the process. A truly satisfactory outcome for all parties!

We’ve met Micheal at an open home in Remuera that subsequently we had purchased. He’s a friendly, warm person and always caries a nice smile. Micheal was honestly, caring and very helpful all the way. We also appreciates Micheal’s expertise in engineering background, which he also helps us in giving us good advice and finding solution for our properties matters. Thank you, Micheal

Tatyana and Michael are great to work with. They have both parties best interests in mind and work towards a solution that suits everyone. Friendly, enthusiastic, ready to go the extra mile. Made a stress time (buying and selling a house) so much easier and less stress. They went out of their way to understand what I was looking for and then suggest homes that suited me and my family

Michael had been very professional and easy to deal with from the start of our transaction. This is the second time that we asked Michael to market a property for us. With our 1st property we had seen how hardworking and diligent he was in his dealings so we did not hesitate to ask him again to sell a second property. What we love about Michael is how he look after his clients and always make sure he gets the best deal possible for them. Michael's market knowledge is vast and any questions we had were answered clearly and he is 100% passionate with his job. Thanks again Michael, Tatyana and the team for successfully selling our property.

Michael and Tatyana make an amazing team. Unerringly positive during a difficult time in the market, they listened to our suggestions and were always kind and professional. Michael and Tatyana fed our cat and watered plants when we had to isolate elsewhere; gave hugs; and even dropped in a gift for our son's 4th birthday! Our sale took a long time, but we got there in the end, and are very pleased with the result. Thanks again, guys! 😊

Team Ataman have an excellent knowledge of the Remuera / Meadowbank area which helped define what sort of buyer would be interested in our property.. They did all they could to assist us as out-of-town sellers and we would recommend them whole-heartedly..

Michael & Tatyana are an outstanding team with their professionalism, enthusiasm and commitment to achieve the best possible result. Prior to listing , Michael & family offered advice to prepare the place, which was greatly appreciated. All concerns raised during the campaign, they had a solution and were very proactive in fixing the problem. While prices were dropping it was reassuring to have such experienced agents manage the marketing plan. It has been a long 4months and I am grateful for your patience. I have enjoyed working with Michael & Tatyana and would recommend them to market and sell any property in this area. Bronwen Kerr, Rutherford Terrace

Very good, experienced, pleasure to work with
