Michael helped the reviewer sell this property

A dedicated powerhouse who goes above and beyond to do what’s best for everyone.

Where to start? Michael is a real star. He goes above and beyond to help you sell your house. Whether that is educating buyers and sellers on how things work, advising on approaching your bank for pre-approval as a buyer, recommending tradies and helping deal with timing/logistics as a seller, offering use of his own trailer to get your house ready for sale, and even leaf blowing the property himself to get homes ready for a top-dollar market debut, he expends enough energy to power a small town. I don’t know where he gets it (lots of coffee maybe?) You’re never short of updates with him and I suspect if you were selling a house anywhere in New Zealand while on holiday in Timbuktu, he would find a way to get in touch with the latest updates. Very proactive and reassuring. He’s a genuinely personable bloke and really friendly. We had a long process to get to market due to unexpected maintenance needed to make the house as ideal to purchase as possible (new carpets, paint etc) , and throughout the work we needed to do, he was patient and made us genuinely feel he was looking out for us rather than looking to make yet another sale ASAP. He gave recommendations on tradies but never tried to convince us to go a different way that he preferred, simply presenting options and trusting our judgement. To be honest I wish he was a bit more bullish on things such as whether new carpet was a good idea (it was! But he didn’t push us hard on it) Michael has a really good understanding of local market conditions with insights into each individual property being sold around the neighbourhood. You can feel his excitement about the highlights of your property. Overall, Michael really helps turn a stressful process into a well oiled machine that makes you feel like you’re his only client. Of course, the real brains behind the operation are Andrea and Mariola but we must let Michael continue to think he’s the king of castle crescent 😉
