When we first met Mike we felt very comfortable that he was a man of integrity, honesty, commitment and diligence. During the whole sale process of our home these first impressions were only strengthened as he navigated us through his knowledge of the market, the best way to market our home and suggestions for presenting our home in the best possible way. We felt confident as he explained the Tender process, that this was the best option for us, and it proved to be so. We have no hesitation in commending Mike to you and we know that he will do everything in his power to achieve the best possible result for you, as he did for us.

There is no such thing as too much praise where Mike Hughes is concerned. We had the utmost respect for his professional approach when selling our home in Wharewka Point Taupo. As we were nearly twelve thousand miles away he was understanding of our angst. He nurtured and advised us. The photographs and video he organised were second to none. Once satisfied, he publicised the house for sale on a Friday. A couple of days later he had found an unconditional buyer and secured a price far beyond our expectations! We would recommend this man in a heartbeat. Henry and Maggie Allington

From the moment we met Mike we knew he was our agent. He is very professional and trustworthy, he made us both feel very comfortable. We really felt he had our best interest at heart and was determined to deliver to his absolute best. His communication from the beginning was amazing, constantly updating us and guiding us through the process. It was the most seamless and enjoyable process we have had in all our properties we have sold - this was by far the best. Thank you Mike.

We feel fortunate to have made contact with Mike Hughes. He understood our requirements and turned them into action. We were impressed by his urgency and integrity. We would not hesitate to engage Mike again when requiring real estate considerations. We wish him well.

Mike Hughes is a very good, thorough Real Estate agent. His extensive knowledge and experience of the housing market and area makes me feel very safe and comfortable to totally put my trust in him. Having sold us 2 houses now, I completely and honestly could not recommend an agent high enough. His great communication and attention to detail is testament to his success. Mike makes the whole process of buying a house simple, uncomplicated and a pleasurable experience.

Mike provided a thorough written market comparison and appraisal prior to us making a decision to list our property. He clearly explained the selling options and marketing process with us and at no time did we feel pressured. His knowledge and communication was great and we were very happy with the sale outcome. We would be very happy to recommend Mike.

As any buyer in the current market will say it is a very competitive, difficult process negotiating against numerous others with prices at record levels. We were the successful buyers against numerous others all the while communicating with Mike on a daily basis as the deadline date approached. Mike was particularly fair and open with us indicating that all buyers are treated equally and given the multi offer situation Mike was at pains to ensure all offers were not presented through him, but rather the independence of the Office Manager. This gave us great confidence in Mike's trustworthiness and professionalism and experience. Mike remained in touch and kept us abreast of developments throughout what turned out to be a lengthy negotiation process, handling the expectations of the vendor with expertise, ultimately resulting in a successful contract for both parties. Of course we would have no hesitation in recommending Mike as trustworthy, straight up and dedicated to a good end result.

After spending along time in the housing market we found Mike to stand out amongst the other real estate agents. He's very welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and professional from start to finish. But above all he got us the result we dreamed of. I would definitely recommend Mike to anyone that wants success in this hard market.

Mike marketed our property with true professionalism and strong marketing knowledge. Mike gave us positive, clear, honest suggestions to presenting our home. Mike achieved an outstanding result for us. We would highly recommend Mike to others Selling or Buying. Keep up the good work Mike your an asset to Taupo and Sotheby's

Mike was a great communicator and always made himself available to make sure we got the best from the market. He even helped out on the end of a vacuum before open homes and made some great suggestions with staging!

Three other agents were interviewed as well as Mike when we were looking for an agent. Mike appeared to have the best knowledge of the area and put forward the best approach to the sale. His marketing strategy did not call for much expenditure on our part but showed good straight forward common sense based on his knowledge of the area. He had helpful suggestions on things to be done to prepare for the sale and helped get tradesmen to fix things. He conducted effective open homes from which he obtained further knowledge of market inclinations. The house sold after four weeks on the market just before the covid lockdown in March 2020. Our price objective, which was optimistic, was achieved. We were very pleased with Mike's performance

I first met Mike when looking to buy a home in Taupo. Immediately I was bowled over by his level of professionalism and integrity. Not only could he answer everything I wanted to know about the property and comparative sales in the area but he physically walked me around the boundary which was a mixture of flat, sloping to very steep. It therefore wasn’t a difficult choice when I came to sell my house as by then, Mike had become more like a friend I could trust and rely upon. A rare commodity in such a fast paced industry. I would have no hesitation in the slightest recommending Mike to anyone looking to buy or sell in Taupo. He will not let you down.
