Professional and responsive

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.

A positive experience

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.

Excellent Agent

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.

5 star experience

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.

Michael Swarbrick and team are absolutely amazing, the go too if you are thinking of selling...

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.

We'll definitely use Michael again.

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.

Fantastic support when selling a property in NZ

Fantastic support when selling a property in NZ

Michael and his team were fantastic at preparing and selling our property especially as we live overseas and were not able to be on hand to get the house prepared for sale. Michael and his team looked after everything once our tenants moved our from Staging, to marketing, to dealing with all interested buyers all while keeping us in loop regularly with Zooms and emails. The entire team were hands on from the beginning and nothing was ever an issue even the 12hr time difference. Michael and his team were always happy to answer our queries and any question we had. Our house sold as per Michael's expectation which really proved to us he knows the marketplace so well. We fully trusted Michael and the Team and they made selling a house and all the paperwork required alot easier with less stress and reassuring support. Thanks so much to Michael and his efficient team.

Our second time working with Michael. This time selling in more challenging times. Michael has a great attitude, very easy to work with and very professional. He kept us well informed, we worked through decisions together and we couldn't be happier with the result he achieved. I would definitely recommend Michael.
