Highly recommended

Michael was recommended to us through friends and we were delighted to have him selling our home. Michael worked tirelessly on our behalf; he was unfailingly positive and enthusiastic. In a tricky market Michael provided sound advice, support and was continually reviewing sale strategies. Michael and Andrea were a wonderful team and kept us fully informed at every stage of the process. Michael, your professionalism, integrity and incredibly hard work were greatly appreciated, many thanks.

This is how a buyer experience should be!

This is how a buyer experience should be!

Dealing with Michael has really been a dream come true and in the most magical way. Words alone cannot describe how outstanding he is. As first-home buyers, we had experienced our fair share of disappointing and frustrating encounters with other agents and companies. We honestly never thought someone like Michael still existed. From our very first interaction to the present, Michael has been a steadfast source of support. His depth of knowledge about the housing market is matched only by his kindness and genuine care. His people skills, manners, and compassion brighten every interaction. His proactive approach to helping us was nothing short of amazing and it really blew us away. Michael is not just an agent; he is a dedicated professional who goes above and beyond his duty to ensure his clients' satisfaction. He is the first person we've come across who genuinely cares about us and takes personal responsibility for helping us succeed whether that be through late-night paperwork or short-notice viewings, there is no corporate clock in Michael, just a kind-hearted individual who brings others up with him. In the daunting world of real estate, Michael Hinds is a diamond in the rough. JustPaterson, you have a secret weapon in Michael Hinds. Whether you're buying or selling a property, you owe it to yourself to let this gentle-giant guide you. Thank you for being you, Michael.

Amazing and hard working.

Michael was fantastic to deal with, he was easy going and very knowledgeable. We felt like we could ask him anything and when we did, he had the answers or found out and came back straight away. He was great with our children who were purchasing the property and made everything clear and easy for them to understand. Thanks for all your time and effort Simone Brooker

A highly professional, hard working and trustworthy agent

We sold our house in a tough market with Michael, ably assisted by Andrea, and were impressed with his determination to find buyers for us engaging every opportunity. Together they came up with a plan to get the house prepared for sale and provided us with excellent recommendations for tradespeople. They worked with us every step of the way to ensure all necessary work was booked in and completed on schedule. The text for the advertisement was written to a high standard and the property was presented extremely effectively with beautiful photos. Once the viewings started, we received regular updates on progress with great communication throughout the process. Michael and Andrea are people upon whom you can rely and depend, safe in the knowledge that they will go the extra mile to get the job done whatever the market conditions. It goes without saying that we highly recommend Michael as an agent - we really feel like he pulled a rabbit out of the hat and are delighted at the outcome.

A true rare gem of an agent 💎

A true rare gem of an agent 💎

We chose Michael Hinds from Just Paterson to sell our house recently, and we couldn't be happier with his service. I have never seen anyone so organised, hardworking, motivated, knowledgeable and driven like Michael and his assistant Andrea. Also, they showed great passion for the job and positive energy. They worked hard to meet tight deadlines never compromising on their high standards, showing great integrity and empathy. It is of course not by chance that Michael has been the top award-winning agent for the last few years with excellent reviews. In addition to this, what makes Michael so special and different from many other agents are his people skills. With his genuine interest in people and their wellbeing, he builds rapport with buyers and sellers like very few can. We approached him (along with agents from other companies) about a year prior to inquire about selling the house, then had to sit on it, due to a change of circumstances. Only Michael kept in touch with us, filling us in about housing market information. We liked the way that he doesn't see people as just a business opportunity but wants the best for them. Like a family member or friend, you can trust him to keep his promises. I feel that calling Michael and Andrea amazing doesn't quite capture how good they really are. I highly recommend Michael Hinds from Just Paterson to anyone who is selling their house. Thank you for making what is normally a stressful task into wonderful experience for us, Michael! Choosing you as an agent was one of the best decisions we made.

What an agent

What an agent

This was my second time buying property, and I can confidently say that Michael is a rare gem. From the very first moment we met at the open house to navigating the final stages of the sale, his warm and genuine enthusiasm for achieving the best outcome was evident. Michael was incredibly responsive to every question, concern, and emotion that arose during the sale process. He went above and beyond, even making himself available outside of normal working hours to help me address issues that I feared might jeopardise my ability to meet the sale conditions. Moreover, he skillfully balanced his loyalty to the vendor with his commitment to assisting me. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Michael (and Andrea), and I firmly believe that whether you’re buying or selling, you’re in exceptional hands with him.

Simply the best!

Simply the best!

Right from the very first phone call we had with Michael, you could feel his enthusiasm and genuine want to do the very best for us with the sale of our property. We had been in contact with Michael for about 6 months before we decided to go to market and over that time he continued to answer our questions (and late at night I must add), and keep us updated. Once we then decided to go to market, Michael and Andrea were there to support us every step of the way. They left no question unanswered, were available around the clock, alleviated any concerns we had and did all they possibly could to help us get the very best deal in the current market that we’re in, including an off market sale. If you’re looking to sell your property then I could not recommend Michael and his team more. No matter what the market is doing, you can put your trust in Michael to do right by you. We will absolutely be using him again!!

Second to none!

First time selling a property, and in a market that is currently going through some challenges, I was extremely nervous about the process and what would be our result. Thankfully we were lucky enough to find Michael. Michaels personal, open, and honest approach was exactly what was required. He was with us during every step of the process and his communication was amazing. What he was able to achieve for us, and the buyer was an outstanding result. Thank you Michael, you and Andrea are world class. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I know we will be reaching out to you again when we next require a realtor.

So fabulous to work with

So fabulous to work with

Michael Hinds was the selling agent when we purchased our first home in New Zealand, and to say he was a pleasure to work with was an understatement. He was always available for questions, to show us the house as many times as we wanted, really anything at all. We met a LOT of different agents during our home search, and there's no doubt Michael is among the best!

Unbounded energy - Michael exceeded my high expectations

Unbounded energy - Michael exceeded my high expectations

I engaged Michael to sell my rental in Norway Street, Aro Valley. I was emotionally attached to it as it was my first home, and was aware that I could have unrealistic expectations around the process, and be a tricky customer. Michael not only had compassion and empathy for my situation, but to go along with his high EQ he demonstrated an extraordinary knowledge of both the industry and the present environment. His advice was sometimes challenging to my thinking but in every case it completely paid off and I am so pleased that I trusted him with the sale of my important asset. I loved that I always felt heard, and that we could discuss all aspects of the sale and strategy in an open way, with me being able to share everything that concerned me about the market in a safe, thoughtful and respected way. Michaels energy and passion was unbounded - his communication was excellent and he truly went above and beyond - Andrea sending me a photo of him waterblasting the steps of my property the day before we went live is one I'll treasure forever. As well as his knowledge, compassion and energy - Michael impressed me with his understanding that this was an important and stressful time for my whole family. When coming into my home, before dealing with any 'business', he would stop and talk to each one of my children, making them feel part of it all and making me always feel like I was bringing my 'whole self' to this important activity, and that he was personally completely engaged with the sale. The final result exceeded my expectations in every way. I have no hesitation in giving Michael my highest recommendation.
