We recently had the pleasure of working with Michael during our home-buying process and I cannot speak highly enough of him. Despite representing the seller, Michael went above and beyond to ensure that our experience as buyers was positive and stress-free. As first-time homebuyers in New Zealand, we had many questions about the process, but Michael was always available to answer our calls and emails promptly. He took the time to explain each step of the transaction and provided valuable insights about the local real estate market. Michael kept us informed every step of the way, providing regular updates and ensuring that we understood each aspect of the transaction. He was always professional, courteous, and upbeat, making the experience a good one. Overall, we would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and personable real estate agent. He truly went above and beyond to make our home-buying experience a positive one, and we are grateful for his hard work and dedication.

Michael is fantastic working with us for a few months to find the right home. His communication was excellent and there was nothing Michael wasn’t prepared to help with. Outstanding service and loving our new home! Thank you.

Michael is very knowledgeable on the area and does not oversell on the sale price, like some others. He is very communicative and suggests different ways of moving forward. It is a tough market at the moment, but Michael always had a positive attitude and was committed to get a sale. We would highly recommend.

We enjoyed working with Michael to purchase our new home. He’s very friendly and approachable. Michael was extremely professional and responsive in all our dealings with him. He went out of his way to facilitate an opportunity for us to speak to another resident in the development to help answer some queries we had.

Michael was extremely professional and followed through when he told us something. His knowledge of the market was excellent and the fact that he knew some people in our area who were looking for a home like ours, really worked in our favour. His communication with both of us (my husband and I) was also excellent often just reassuring us if there was nothing new to report. He was not pushy at all and was very calm throughout what can be a highly stressful time in our lives. We would highly recommend Michael.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Michael right through the process. From setting the marketing plan, getting my place ready for presenting to the market, the open homes and other viewings, the lead up to the auction and on auction day. He was honest and realistic, communicated regularly and ultimately got me the result we wanted.

Micheal from the get go and to the end of the selling process was great. His knowledge and advice was sound and he was always with us 100% and went the extra mile. He is very professional and is a humble genuine nice guy who really cares and is very passionate about real estate. We would not hesitate in recommending Michael and team.

I found Michael Swarbrick from Harcourts Takapuna easy to deal with. Michael is personable and to the point with his communications- sometimes going above and beyond the standard realtor remit. He assisted us with a new build purchase, which we’re so excited to finally be moving into! Go Michael!

Michael was lovely to deal with when we were buying our new house. He answered all our questions, followed up to make sure we were ready for the auction process & just provided a fantastic service. Once we purchased he went out of his way to make the kids feel involved in the process He’s a lovely person as well which made for a great experience. Thanks Michael! Would definitely recommend Michael to others buying or selling.

We asked Michael to come and appraise our house towards the end of a renovation. We were unexpectedly moving overseas and were not sure whether to rent or sell. When he came the house was in turmoil with decorators, builders, landscapers all mid jobs! He went through our home and could see what the end result was going to be. He was honest and open and not at all pushy around the sell vs rent option. He provided us with good information and insight into the state of the market and the benefits of selling in what we thought may be a slower time of the year. After we decided we would sell, Michael provided us with a list of things he thought would help to achieve a good sale- many of these were small things we would not have thought of in the midst of renovating and it was invaluable help in preparing for sale. He put together various marketing package options, arranged for staging to be done and kept us well informed all of the time. Once the campaign started, we had already moved and so Michael followed up on any outstanding work to be done and kept us regularly updated with progress meetings, messages and a comprehensive weekly report. Leading up to auction date we met with the auctioneer and Michael to discuss how that would run and we watched remotely from the other side of the world! Throughout the whole campaign we were impressed with Michael (and his supporting team) for their professionalism and ease to deal with. On auction date we achieved a sale that we were happy with and so all Michael’s great advice paid off! I would highly recommend using Michael and his team if you are looking to sell your house. He is a genuinely nice guy to deal with and will look after your real estate needs with great respect and professionalism.

Our experience with selling our house with Michael was excellent. Michael was great he guided and supported us through the process with sound knowledge and expertise providing a great result in a challenging time of the property market. Michael is a stand up guy who has a down to earth nature and even took timeout while he was on holiday to meet up and shout us a coffee. We can't say enough good things about Michael but what we can say is that if you are looking for a great guy to sell your house look no further.

Michael has helped us sell a couple of properties and purchase another. At all times he has been genuine and upfront. We believe we have received the best level of support during what can be quite stressful processes.
