The communications we had with Michelle throughout the purchase of the property was excellent. Her knowledge on the area was outstanding. We would not hesitate to contact Michelle again if needed.

Exceptional service-even from afar

I recently sold my home in Nelson through Michelle, and I couldn’t have asked for better agent. Even though I was managing the sales remotely, she made the entire process smooth. Her professionalism,kindness and genuine attention made all the difference. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Nelson area

Professional in all matters, while well in-tune with my needs as a first-time solo buyer.

If I was ever to sell this home in The Wood that I've just made my own, through Michelle Sowman, I would ask her to be my sales agent. While real estate agents are, of course, working to get the best price for vendors, I found Michelle was sensitive to my personal situation and the hopes and plans I had, as someone buying 'solo' for the first time. I quickly fell for this wee corner of the city, and, to my delight, I've found myself surrounded by the good, old-fashioned care of great neighbours. Michelle certainly did her job, securing a price for these vendors that was well above the expected estimate. So, while I stretched my budget, the past three or four weeks here have shown me it has all been worth it. The Wood is Good - and Michelle's knowledge of this neighbourhood is excellent! Very happy!

A Down-to-Earth Kiwi Gal

We'd planned to 'interview' several agents when my mother decided to put her house on the market, including one that I thought my mother would eventually be best to go with. Then a friend suggested we talk to Michelle as well. We were instantly very impressed and decided she was the best. From the beginning, Michelle's down-to-earth tactful honesty, friendly approachability and professionalism made the selection of a marketing package, a sales strategy and how to best present the property, very straightforward and even logical. Then, when the house had only been on the market a short time and we got a very good offer, Michelle advised us on the how to negotiate a "best" price. Finally, she also made it easy to decide on dates for settlement and possession along with small details like what to do with the fridge and which potplants the buyer wanted (etc). In short, from beginning to end, Michelle made what could otherwise have been a very stressful experience into a straightforward almost rewarding challenge that both we as the vendors and also the buyers ultimately benefitted from.

Responsiveness and professionalism

Responsiveness and professionalism

I am sure Michelle had more than just us buying one of her listings, but it felt as we were the only one. As first home buyers we asked many questions, and never it felt that it ‘took too long’ to get an answer. Communication was clear, to the point and helpful. Michelle was flexible and accommodating. I will go as far to say that if we ever are to sell she will be my first contact to make.

Outstanding Agent

Michelle was very approachable from the out-set and we were comfortable with the way she handled any queries we presented to her prior to an offer being made; and at the critical time from pre-settlement viewing until settlement. We could work with her again on any future purchases, or sales.

A Genuine Agent, who goes above and beyond

A Genuine Agent, who goes above and beyond

We can’t speak highly enough of Michelle. She was absolutely amazing to work with and handled the sale of our large family home in a fairly niche area of the market with professionalism and genuine care. She’s not your stereotypical real estate agent — she worked hard for us while also being fair and considerate to the buyer, which made the whole process smooth and positive for everyone involved. We’re very happy with the outcome she achieved and will definitely be using her again when we sell our next home in 2026. Highly recommended!

We are thrilled with the service Michelle provided. Her knowledge is outstanding, and she guided us through the entire process with such professionalism and ease. Michelle kept in touch regularly—providing a comprehensive vendor report and updates after Open Homes. Michelle truly made the sales process as stress-free as possible for us. We would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a property.
