Michael has been a truly excellent agent. Built from a different cloth, never have we worked with someone so dedicated and passionate about selling our house. He worked so hard for us, selling our house in just a few weeks. He kept us informed of every step, and has excellent communication skills. Always available for a chat (day or night). He went above and beyond with getting the property prepped before putting it up for sale and the marketing including digital photos since the house was vacant. I would never work with anyone else for real estate in Wellington.

Michael was a ray of sunshine from the minute we first met him. He was open and honest with all information about the property and shared his professional opinion on what could be improved. This was the first home was offered on and Michael was supportive the whole journey. We were impressed with him every step of the way. Thank you Michael for your hard work!!

Being first time buyers, we knew it was always going to be stressful, but Michael made it so much easier. He had great knowledge of the suburb, and even offered to pick us up from the train station (gratefully accepted when it turned out to be raining on the day) so he could point out the key points of interest. There were a couple of unusual features that made the purchase a bit trickier, but he helped us i the process, was tireless at problem solving, always available, and really went the extra mile. We were really lucky to have him involved in the transaction!

Michael is extremely personable, professional and knowledgeable. From beginning to end Michael has shown great attention to detail, from prepping the house to sell, through negotiating an offer to buying our next home. Michael is always willing to provide his expertise and has made us feel well supported through what can be a stressful time. We would gladly work with Michael again and highly recommend him to others looking to sell.

Very grateful to Michael, who is the reason we sold after a challenging year. After attempting to sell with a different agent for a year, we switched over to Michael and very quickly managed to get our place sold for a good price. Michael's knowledge of the Wellington/Hutt market, lovely demeanour and focus on customer service made our experience with him just wonderful. After the previous experience with the other agent, it was like night and day! Michael is very skilled in managing all sorts of relationships and is just very pleasant to deal with. We have always felt informed and kept up to date. Michael gives good solid real estate advice and understands all the elements involved in selling and buying. One of the nicest things is that he really goes the extra mile, and far above and beyond the call of duty. He will do things in person that other agents would do over a phone call or text message, which really helps you feel looked after. A fantastic agent and just a really nice guy. We would absolutely go with Michael again next time we need to sell a property. Highly recommended!

Michael was polite, easy to talk to and professional, he made the process simple. He didn't use double speak, made things clear and was open and honest in his dealings. We would definitely recommend buying or selling with Michael.

Really appreciated Michael's help with selling our old family home. He supported us from beginning to end and I'm very happy with the outcome.

Michael gave us advice on the market and the potential of our house that we found was exactly right. It was a time when houses were harder to sell. Ours was big, had not been on the market for half a century and we knew that while it had great street appeal and style it was not what many buyers were looking for. We were impressed with Michael’s ability to attract many, many visitors to open homes and to work in practical ways with our stager. People visiting were happy to share their views with Michael giving us a real understanding of the real people in out potential market. In the end in the flat market Michael brought us three eager buyers and we were able to sell to a family we hope will find the house exactly what they need. Michael was always frank with us about the reality of selling in a flat or declining market and kept in constant communication and was cheerful and friendly throughout. He even cleared the mail and mowed the lawns!

Michael Hinds offered a truly exceptional service when we needed to sell our apartment. I found Michael after searching online for Wellington realtors. I decided to make contact with him just before Christmas, never ever expecting him to reply until after Christmas and the New Year. Michael not only replied to my email immediately, but also followed up with a phone call. He made the entire process stress free. It is truly difficult finding an agent of this calibre. We were both working in different time zones and I would find that if there had been any issues during my night time, (the day time in NZ) that by the time I had risen in the morning Michael had already dealt with the issues. I was impressed with Michael’s attention to detail throughout the entire process. It is difficult finding an agent of this calibre. He also communicated with our solicitor on our behalf, so as to not waste a day due to the time differences. He approached the job with promptness, strategic mindset, great attention to detail and the willingness to do the hands on jobs when needed. Michael went above and beyond our expectations and I would not hesitate to recommend him to our friends, colleagues. Michael’s good energy made this task a lot easier than I had ever expected. It is not the first property that we have sold and have come across many agents over the last 10 years or so. I wish that I had found Michael before now as I would not hesitate to have him sell any other property should we require his services. Michael’s commitment ensuring that the settlement day went without a hitch was outstanding. He even went as far as organising and helping to move the furniture out of our apartment as we were not able to be there to do this ourselves. My husband and I cannot speak highly enough of Michael’s dedication to looking after his clients. Thank you Michael for selling our apartment in this difficult market. You came through for us and all within 4 weeks from the start.

My son in law suggested Michael to help sell my home. While waiting for legal matters to be settled, the brochure was printed . And plans put in place for open homes . I was guided and asked my opinion with each step. Also given tips on preparing my home for sale. When an offer came in Michael kept me well informed. Two days later my husband passed away. Michael stepped up well beyond expectations . Gently guiding and helping me to buy and sell. While I arranged a funeral. My home sold in 8 days. Michael made sure I understood all legal documents The guidance I received was professional and given with care and compassion. Thank you Michael. I will not forget the part you took in that extremely stressful week of my life Judith Taylor

Dear Michael, Thank you so much for your help with selling our home and buying our new one. You made the process simple and easy to understand for us, and we appreciated your patience and expertise. Your insight was extremely valuable to us and I don't think we could have done this without you. Kind regards Shane

From the moment we meet Michael we knew he was the right person to sell our house. He quickly built a great rapport with us and his friendly and dedicated nature shone through. He was available night and day to answer our many questions and worked extremely hard to find a buyer for our house. Not only did he it make the selling of our house an easy and stress-free process but he went above and beyond the call of duty to guide us through buying our new house. We couldn't recommend Michael highly enough!
