Seamless experience

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.

Great work Michael

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.

Our experience with Michael was exceptional. He was thoughtful, honest and dedicated to achieving the best result for us. Communication was seamless every step along the way. In today’s world where we all struggle to find the best people for the job, we are certain that Michael would be our only choice should we decide to sell our home.

Michael acted for the Vendor and i enjoyed our discussions and the home that he sold us worked out well. He has been available whenever we needed access to the house and recommended a good builder to attend to the renovations. All in all Michael was and is very pleasant to deal with and assisted us to buy the house that we wanted.

Outstanding communication and work ethic

Working with Michael was a pleasure from day one. His communication was outstanding, he responded to requests very quickly and was always positive and upbeat. He has an open and honest style. I felt confident and trusted his professional expertise and opinion. He has been very accommodating to both me as vendor and the purchasers of my property, helping out whenever needed. Nothing it seems was a problem. Without doubt I would recommend him to anyone looking to sell their property.

Excellent experience having Micheal Swarbrick as my agent.

Excellent experience having Micheal Swarbrick as my agent.

Micheal was recommended to me by a trusted friend. Initially I asked Micheal for an appraisal of my property. Micheal's appraisal was very accurate which I thought reflected his knowledge and experience in the changing market. I sold my property at a difficult time, however Micheal was able to stay confident and focussed on getting a good result for me which I'm very happy to say was the outcome. MIcheal was always exceptionally polite and helpful through out the entire sale process and just a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend Micheal to my friends and family.

Excellent from start to finish

As an offshore seller I had to rely totally on the agent I used to sell my property - and Michael kept me constantly informed about what was happening with the property, and the evolving situation during Auckland lockdown. He clearly talked me through the marketing and staging - and, I didn't recognise the place from the photos. I wanted to move in myself. The result he achieved was also far beyond what I expected. Even with an offer in place, Michael kept marketing the property to the last minute and it paid off. I'd absolutely recommend him and the team and will use them again in the future.
