About Michelle

“I have called the Eastern Bay home for over 50 years now, with our boys being raised here,” says Michelle Stephenson. The Bay certainly has plenty, from a great climate and lifestyle to a friendly community, gorgeous beaches, bush walks, and more. A decision to start a career in real estate at the end of 2003 after owning a business in Kawerau and Whakatane for many years has seen Michelle win a national and international franchise’s Client Experience Award and consistently rank in the top performers of their region group. She says, “And, after eighteen years in real estate, I’m still thrilled to be doing what I love!” The Bay’s community is an exceptional one, and Michelle helps wherever she can, from Education for Life, Dancing with the Stars, front of house for the Whakatane Theatrical Group, Hospice, Sunshine On a Plate, and supporting local sports teams by supplying shirts as well as schools where possible. In her downtime, you’ll likely find Michelle enjoying some gardening, reading, spending quality time with family and friends, or out and about enjoying a walk along the beach. Now proudly part of the Property Brokers Whakatane team, Michelle says, “Property Brokers is provincial, and truly has the heart of the small communities at the forefront. It’s a business that lives its values, cares for the community, and gets involved. Just good, passionate people doing what they love to do, and doing it really well.” It’s such a privilege helping families, and first home buyers find a property that ticks the boxes. In real estate, you can plan your day, but that could all change in a matter of minutes; no day is the same. Meeting new people and families, building lasting relationships and creating memorable experiences are all part and parcel of a career in real estate. It’s really special.”

Michelle never gave up on us, and was always willing to go the extra mile to help get the sale done

Michelle was great to deal with, a constant professional who we always knew was working for us. No matter how long it seemed to be taking, she always gave it her all. Michelle constantly kept us up to date with everything that was happening with the sale and any potential buyers, even when it was just an update that she could not get a hold of anyone. Communication was always clear. She was always prepared to go the extra mile to drum up interest when it was needed, and it was always nice that her go to strategy was never to just lower the asking price. This shows her market knowledge as she was able to get us a price not far off where we had started, despite the time it sat on the market for.

Most amazing experience

Michelle and Matt were an absolute pleasure to work with while selling our home. From the very beginning, Michelle was caring, considerate, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Both Michelle and Matt’s communication was outstanding—they kept us informed every step of the way, they were always open and honest about expectations, and Michelle took the time to explain every stage of the sale. Whether it was discussing potential buyers, preparing for open homes, or negotiating the final sale, Michelle made sure we felt comfortable, confident, and involved in every decision. Michelle’s professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. We always felt that she had our best interests at heart, and her dedication and hard work resulted in a fantastic outcome. We couldn’t recommend Michelle and Matt more highly. If you’re looking for real estate agents who is honest, compassionate, hardworking, and truly committed to achieving the best result, both Michelle and Matt are the people you want by your side.

Michelle was a delight to work with. She kept us updated the whole way along the process. She really was in our corner and I could trust her to get the best result from the campaign. I was impressed with her people skills and she rallied enough buyers to get a competitive sale. I’ve worked with her before and I’d definitely do it again. Thanks Michelle for your experience and knowledge in getting the job done.
