Excellent Service

After a hiatus of 7 years since our last dealings with Michael, when it came to the recent sale of our house we had no hesitation in approaching him to undertake the sale for us. A very wise and successful decision. Michael is very professional and knowledgeable in all aspects of selling. He is very enthusiastic, trustworthy and hard working. Very respectful of our needs and situation. Maintained regular and informative communication around all aspects of the sale. Thank you Michael.

Michael was supportive during the major transition of selling a home and moving into a rest home. The process was seamless, selling within two weeks with an excellent outcome for all concerned.

Highly Recommended – Michael Delivers!

Michael is an agent who truly goes above and beyond to get things sorted. From having a list of contractors ready for any repairs before putting the property on the market, to following up on our behalf—nothing was too much trouble. He even went as far as purchasing items for us from The Warehouse when needed. As we were not in town to oversee anything ourselves, having Michael as our eyes, ears, and hands was invaluable. He is highly responsive, an excellent communicator, and genuinely focused on achieving the best outcome for both us and the buyers. We have the utmost respect for Michael and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell (or buy!).

Michael had our home under contract within 48 hours of coming to the market - which was incredible, given the slower market conditions in general and also particularly on Princes Drive, where similar houses were taking some time to sell (if at all!). He was clear on a strategy to use and the marketing was completed to a high standard. Michael negotiated with the buyers to get a great price result - and although we were under contract very early - he continued to work on the sale, explore other avenues for buyers, and leave no stone unturned - right until the first contract went unconditional a few weeks later. If you are looking for a fantastic agent who has excellent negotiation skills, and will work tirelessly to get you the best results, then get in touch with Michael.

THE BEST REAL ESTATE AGENT WE HAVE EVER MET AND WE HAVE SOLD SEVEN

THE BEST REAL ESTATE AGENT WE HAVE EVER MET AND WE HAVE SOLD SEVEN

Michael Buys was contracted by us to sell our much loved home . It was a down sizing situation for us and something we were dreading but Michael and his talented team made the whole process of selling seamlessly effortless and emotionally easy for us both. We knew Michael had our best interest first and foremost throughout the whole process and we found his negotiation skills to be legendary, which resulted in a successful sale after a relatively short marketing campaign held in a difficult market. Our sale was completed in five weeks and during that time we felt well supported and listened to by Michael and his team. It is with great pleasure that we recommend Michael to you along with his excellent and dedicated team.
