We approached Mike to sell our home because he has a regular visual presence in our area and has managed a lot of sales in and around Northwood. His communication from the outset was outstanding, his appraisal of our property was well supported with recent sale information and he was very realistic about the current market. We asked Mike to try an off market sale approach prior to listing it as an auction, knowing that he had buyers who had missed out previously that were looking for a property similar to ours. Mike sent information to his database and internally through the Harcourts network. From this he held one open home and another couple of private viewings that generated 10 groups though and two offers, one of which we negotiated and accepted. We are so grateful for Mike's positivity, integrity and knowledge throughout the whole process. He is a skilled negotiator and he obviously takes note of people that visit his open homes with the hope of finding them something suitable in the future. He has built up a trust with clients and we also put great trust in him to sell our biggest asset and he certainly did not disappoint in any aspect. Mike will be our first point of contact for future real estate dealings and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone considering selling, buying or just needing information for an informed decision.

Mike kept us well updated on feedback from each open home. We also received a comprehensive weekly report by email. I would recommend him as a very reliable agent.

If you are looking to sell your property you couldn’t get a more dedicated ,motivated ,and professional person than Mike Brown .Mike went the extra mile into selling our property which ended in an excellent result.Mike knew the market well in the area that we were selling in .Nothing was a problem Mike was just a phone call away . Thanks Mike .

Mike was fantastic. A very good communicator, down to earth, a straight talker and handled the sale process very well from start to finish. Would highly recommend if you want a skilled, knowledgeable agent and negotiator.

Leading up to the purchase of our new home, Mike gave us the time and space to view the property on several occasions without exerting undue pressure. His knowledge about the property and the location impressed us and he was happy to answer any questions we had. Mike proactively ensured that we were able to view a local facility that was associated with the property purchase. As auction day drew closer he kept us fully informed and was happy to negotiate on our behalf, an earlier settlement date with the vendor. On auction day he spoke with us before proceedings began, then left us in the very capable hands of his colleague, Wendy Sare so that he could work closely with his vendor to secure a successful outcome for both parties. We are now looking very much forward to moving into our new home. Thank you Mike!

In the past 18 months Mike has sold 3 properties on our behalf. On each occasion our expectations were exceeded and the outcomes achieved surpassed what we had hoped for. Mike was always available, he had an extensive knowledge of current market conditions and he answered any queries we had promptly. Mike was a straight shooter and spoke a language we understood, which was appreciated. We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Mike to any prospective vendor.

We are incredibly grateful to Mike Brown for his outstanding support throughout our home-buying journey.

He guided us through every step with patience and clarity, making what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and well-managed. Mike is not just a real estate agent — he is someone who truly listens, understands your needs, and goes above and beyond to make sure you get the right home. His polite and approachable nature, combined with deep market knowledge and excellent communication, made us feel fully confident and informed at all times. What stood out the most was his integrity, calm attitude, and commitment to doing things the right way. He respected our time, answered every question promptly, and ensured we had all the information needed to make the best decisions. We are thrilled with our purchase at 20 Rivers Edge, and we sincerely thank Mike for making this possible. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, hardworking, and exceptional agent. Thank you, Mike . you made our dream home a reality.

Mike was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and committed to a positive outcome from the get go. His communication was spot on with regular updates and feedback a feature of his work. He managed interactions with possible buyers effectively and followed up all requests for information that they made. Throughout the marketing he brought a calm and well planned approach to things and maintained high levels of professionalism. His sense of humour and interest in his clients were an added bonus. Mike was easy to work with throughout and achieved an excellent final sales result for us. I wound recommend him highly if you’re looking to see a property.

We recently sold our home at 54 Regency Crescent, Christchurch, while living overseas, and we were fortunate to have Mike Brown as our real estate agent. Selling a property from afar could easily have been stressful, but Mike made the entire process smooth, professional, and worry-free. Mike went far beyond the usual responsibilities of an agent. He personally coordinated all of the repairs and maintenance the house required, engaged contractors, inspected their work, and ensured everything met a high standard before the property went to market. His oversight meant we could trust that the home was always being well cared for, even though we were thousands of miles away. Communication was exceptional throughout. Mike kept us updated at every stage, explained our options clearly, and always placed our best interests first. We never felt rushed or pressured, but rather reassured that every decision was made with care and integrity. His professionalism extended to dealing with buyers, contractors, and other parties, helping to create a smooth pathway to settlement. What impressed us most was his combination of diligence and genuine care. It was clear Mike treated the sale of our home as if it were his own, which gave us complete confidence despite the distance. We are grateful for his hard work and commitment, and we could not recommend him more highly to anyone buying or selling in Christchurch. Mike Brown is a true professional who goes the extra mile to deliver outstanding results. Selling a property from overseas could have been daunting, but thanks to Mike’s expertise, commitment, and personal dedication, it turned out to be an organised and stress-free experience. We could not recommend him more highly to anyone looking to sell their home in Christchurch. Mike truly went above and beyond, and we are extremely grateful for all he did to help us achieve a successful sale.

I found Mike straight forward and good to work with. He provided us realistic advice about the value of our home, provided helpful communication and updates throughout and elicited and offer which was at an acceptable level that warranted our action to be brought forward and our property to be sold… all in two weeks! Thanks again.

Mike was thoughtful and kind in helping us buy our first home. We were extremely happy with his service and proficiency.

We recently listed our house with Mike in what we thought would be a hard market (there were about 75 properties in the $900k to $1.2m price bracket in Halswell). With Mike’s expertise , in just over 12 days we received a pre auction offer and our auction was brought forward, selling our home cash and unconditional. We are absolutely over the moon with the result. Mike was very professional and throughout the whole campaign we felt like he answered all our questions and went above and beyond for us. We will definitely be using Mike again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to sell/buy a property. He is professional and very hard working but at the same time was realistic and honest throughout the campaign.
