We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent! From start to finish, Michael was absolutely amazing — taking the time to explain every step, making sure we felt comfortable and confident throughout the whole process. You can tell he truly cares about his clients; he looked after us like family and went above and beyond in every way. It speaks volumes that the previous owners trusted him to sell the house to them and then asked him to sell it again — that’s the kind of trust and professionalism he inspires. We’re so grateful for all his help and couldn’t recommend him more highly!

The stress of dealing with Mum's estate was made easier by having a great agent who went above and beyond expectations. He made sure we got the best price and very quickly too. Organising tradies, prices etc all done without a worry. Being several hours away from the house meant this made the process so easy. Thank you Michael (and team) for the awesome work and the Hot Choc!

Michael was a pleasure to work with. always very pleasant and approachable, always readily available. The initial research in regard to the property was comprehensive. Throughout the whole process he was a great communicator and very active and diligent in his work. Thank you so much Michael.

Last last thing we wanted was to be "sold" a house. We really wanted to be "connected" to a home that we as a couple and family would have for generations to come. That first point of contact with the home we connected with and then purchased, was greatly influenced by the warmth and connection Michael brought to the eventual purchase. People often say it is the journey and not the destination, though this is often said but not always done. Michael's ability to connect with us, his genuine humanity and desire to see people connect with a home that connected with them resonated deeply. Having spent the last three months looking for a home, the gamut of "sales" pitches and sales agents, became very clear to us and Michael was a welcome reprieve to some interesting experiences we had had.. We are so grateful for the professionalism, friendly candor and "nothing was a problem" attitude - Michael honored the journey, the destination and connection, so the the home we eventually purchased became the end of a wonderful journey for us all. In a time when the noise of life can become deafening, sales and sales pitches both digital and in person are sometimes overwhelming - what a reprieve, humanity, honesty and faith in the good can make to connecting to a home we will cherish, and a journey with Michael Hinds and the team at Just Paterson we will cherish also. We cant wait to move into and connect with our new home, and to continue our connection also, with good people we have met along the way. Michael is one of those we look forward to connecting with more. Nga mihi nunui, e meitaki ranuinui and thank you - Thomas and Juanita.

Buying our first home was such an important milestone, and we couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent than Michael. From day one, he went above and beyond — keeping us updated every single day, following up promptly, and making sure we always knew where things stood. Michael’s communication was clear, kind, and completely transparent, which made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. He guided us through every step with genuine care and professionalism. Even worked late into the evening — to make sure the deal got done. We truly felt supported and well-informed from start to finish. Michael’s dedication and commitment are second to none. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He genuinely deserves every bit of this 5-star rating!

I am super grateful to Michael for making the purchase of my first home such an effortless experience. His kind and thoughtful approach made every step of the process feel memorable and special. Michael’s communication was always prompt, clear, and transparent, and he consistently showed great consideration throughout. Michael felt very generous with his time, never making me feel rushed through viewings at the house and gave considered and detailed responses to my questions and emails. I didn't realise buying a house could be borderline fun and cheerful. But Michael somehow managed to do so...How refreshing after a long and slightly painful house hunt process! I hope all first home buyers get to have Michael as their agent 🎉

A great agent who achieved an amazing result! We couldn't be happier

Michael sold our place in just 9 days and got us a strong offer that was unconditional with a settlement date that worked perfectly for us. He was super easy to deal with, always available, and nothing was ever a hassle. Michael made the whole process stress-free and gave great advice along the way. We’d definitely recommend him if you’re thinking of selling.

Right from the first text message we found Michael to be responsive and very helpful. Michael has a calm, friendly, relaxed way of approaching the business of real estate. We had been looking for our next home for a few months, but within just over a week of reaching out, we'd made an offer on one of Michael's listings and had it accepted within hours - the smoothest real estate process we've experienced! Michael is a people person who takes a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach to getting houses sold. He was able to strike the right balance between being helpful during viewings, through providing guided tours of the property, to giving us enough space to investigate for ourselves. He was able to answer all of our questions about the listing quickly, and was an effective intermediary between us and the vendor. Michael genuinely seems to care, which you don't always come across in the business of buying and selling houses - we highly recommend him!

I had a rental property in Wellington. I live in Auckland. I had to find an Agent that I could trust and have confidence in to act in my best interests, without being in the same city. Luckily I found Michael. He is the ultimate professional. Right from our inital interactions he understood what I needed and strived to make this happen for me. He had the contacts in the industry that I didn't. He knew who would purchase my kind of property. It needed a lot of TLC done to it, after being rented for over 30 years. Within a matter of days he had sourced contacts who were interested in my property. It was just so easy having Michael in my corner and saved me a lot of time and money travelling to and from Wellington. He was in constant contact with me and kept me up to date with everything happening and even liaised with my tenants for me before and after the sale. I cannot thank Michael and his team enough for their fantastic work getting this somewhat challenging property sold!

Living in Auckland, we had no idea where to start when it came to selling our late Dad's house in Ōwhiro Bay, but thankfully we came across glowing reviews for Michael. We soon found out that every word was true! He brought incredible local knowledge of the Wellington market, had fantastic connections throughout the industry, and guided us through the whole process with genuine care and professionalism. By settlement day, it felt like we were working with a trusted friend. We couldn’t recommend anyone more highly in the city. Michael is an absolute gem!

I can't thank Michael and his team enough for the effort they put into selling my mother's house, allowing her to remain in her retirement home. There were a lot of obstacles for them to navigate, but they handled each and every task with professionalism. I would highly recommend Michael and his team; they are the complete package of professionals in every way
