A Keen Eye, Steady Hand, and a Great Result in a Tough Market

A Keen Eye, Steady Hand, and a Great Result in a Tough Market

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!

Proactive, encouraging, and really helpful

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!

True professional and a top-tier agent

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!

Professional, Supportive, Reliable and Highly recommended

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 an expert. He is very good in what he does.

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.
