Mike and the Team at One Agency are boutique! We clicked with Mike straight away, he’s genuine, honest, and reliable but he also makes the process of selling fun! Mike is approachable, easy to contact and no question is a problem. Mike talked us through the different options of marketing and sale processes detailing the benefits of each. We took his advice and couldn’t be happier with the process. Mike was a great sounding board for us too as we prepped for open homes with two young children. Wade, Steve, and the team that support Mike are also amazing. If you’re looking to sell your house, choose Mike, you won’t be disappointed!

Mike and Wayne gave us the benefit of their wisdom and experience. We took their advice and believe that the quick sale of our house, and a very acceptable price, was the direct result of their attention to detail and next level presentation. Both were friendly and professional, communicated well, and had superb market knowledge.

Good advice was given, especially around the current market and setting price expectations, as well as an appropriate marketing strategy resulting in a quick sale. There were some unexpected hurdles in the settlement of our property but Mike, Steve and their office support went over and above our expectations to ensure a smooth sale process completion. We've been both a purchaser and vendor with Mike and Steve and would happily work with them again.

Mike and his friendly and efficient team went the extra mile to get a great (and fair to both parties) result at a challenging time in the market. Provided good advice to consider without imposing his views, expertly negotiated some of the roadblocks, provided professional marketing, and is well-connected to a range of other services to promote the property. He's also personable and very responsive to any queries.

Having sold houses before and being disappointed with nearly all previous agencies, this time we interviewed five different agents to find the best. There is a difference between a marketer and a seller. The interviews ranged from the pompus to the disinterested. Mike was the immediate standout who was both knowledgeable and relaxed. He has a confidence that is charismatic and engaging. I am happy to say that throughout, Mike exhibited a masterful display of knowledge and strategy to have numerous offers presented in a collapsing market. It was obvious that other agencies were reducing prices to get sales, Mike used skill, energy and persistence. He was alert to our desires and needs. He listened to and heard what we wanted. When we had a collapsed sale he doubled down rather than putting us into the too hard basket. Although I knew that he was extremely busy he never made us feel that he was too busy for us. Even when we had a second accepted offer on the table he continued promoting and brought other potential purchases, just in case there was a second collapsed sale. Having the knowledge that we would have another multi offer if needed relieved much anxiety on our part. Mike simply secured a sale in what was an extremely difficult market for sellers. He remained in constant communication over a lengthy time, bought in two multi offers and had a third ready to go. He was extremely professional with his dealings with us. I cannot speak highly enough of this agency. If you want or need to sell Mike Will have your back. He will achieve the best price and will put in the most work. He will communicate and streamline the process with your considerations at the forefront of his objectives. In short of you are selling ... Mike is who you want.

very good team.Responds quickly for any enquiry.they have a good knowledge of market .

Mike knows his market, communicated well, went over and above with loose ends and communication at the time when there were interested parties. He is obviously hugely knowledgeable because he was able to quickly connect to legal points etc.

We couldn't be happier with our experience dealing with Mike and the team at One Agency. He believed in the value of our property more than any of the other agents we spoke with, and truly sold it accordingly. He didn't just suggest what we should do to get the home ready for sale, he called in on request when an extra opinion was required, as well as offering a myriad of contacts and support before getting the For Sale sign up. When we signed up with Mike we were assured it would be him doing the open homes and viewings and he consistently delivered on that level of personal attention. Whilst he was supported by very capable and lovely colleagues it never felt like we were just a number in a big organisation. Mike was always positive, dealing with our emotional ups and downs expertly, and he was unbelievably hard working, often at our dining table until quite late. His rates were the most competitive within the main companies we approached, and on top of that he donates a sizeable proportion of each commission to very worthwhile local causes. Mike's knowledge and experience really showed throughout our selling journey and he went above and beyond. Ultimately however Mike has immense integrity and we can testify to his trustworthiness. Mike will definitely be our first port of call when selling our next property in Christchurch.

Mike is very hands on and a no pressure Agent. We had a great experience with mike and would definitely recommend Mike to sell your property.

Mike was fantastic - we really appreciated his communicativeness, friendliness, practicality and helpfulness in navigating what is always a stressful time. We also really valued the effort he and his team put into selling our house - they went above and beyond, and led to our house being sold almost as soon as it went on the market.

Mike went above and beyond, such fantastic service, highly recommend using One Agency. We were out of town sellers, Mike and his team ensured the little things were taken care of Eg light bulb change and smoke alarm update. Thank you again Mike and please pass on to your team.
