Buying a house was for me a very unpleasant experience. It starts with viewing properties online. You will then waste your weekends visiting said properties to discover the agent has taken very misleading photos and generally have been untruthful in the property write up. My experience with Mike was different. It appeared to begin the same. The house was really well presented on Trademe. I went to the open home fully expecting it to be a shitter. Au contraire, if anything Mike had under sold the house. Meeting Mike he was friendly, and not over bearing like a distrustful salesman. He let me inspect the house undisturbed. The open home was very busy, with a lot of interest. I wanted to view the house again on the Monday night, Mike was really accommodating. There was no pressure to buy. I made an offer that night. It went multi offer, and mine was selected. I put this down to the sound advice given by Mike that night. In a nutshell, the industry is full of snakes. Mike is not one of these. This was my first home purchase. If I had met Mike earlier in the game I feel the whole house purchase experience would have been better. Cheers Mike!

To be honest, I am never going to use another real estate agent other than Mike Murphy again. Communication was excellent, worked around my time frames that I had available, advice was spot on AAA+++ x100

Good to work with professional kept me informed all the way through can’t fault work with mike anytime

I just want to thank-you for the great work you did in selling our rental property which is very much appreciated. This was done in extreme circumstances while were repatriating from overseas, combined with the COVID-19 virus and New Zealand being in lockdown of which we acknowledge was no easy task in both dealing with us and the market environment. In this challenging environment, you were able to present multi offers which put us in a great position to negotiate and maximise our sale price. Thank you for your patience and understanding of our situation, the result was the perfect outcome for us to plan for our future back in New Zealand and we truly appreciate your professionalism, market knowledge, energy and effort in presenting and negotiating on our behalf to achieve a sale in what can only be described as a challenging and uncertain environment due to COVID-19 – absolutely brilliant outcome!

Mike has an excellent market knowledge and real capacity to apply a personal understanding to an individual situation. I have been thoroughly impressed with how easy and stress-free the process of selling has been for me. Calling Mike for a customized sale solution that truly catered to my situation was a great decision, and I look forward to working with him again to find a property as a buyer.

We first approached Mike a year prior to selling our home, however circumstances changed meaning we had to put the house-selling business on hold. From the time we first approached Mike to when we finally listed, Mike would call and check in with us to keep us in the loop with how sales were in the area. This personal contact was the ultimate deciding factor to list with Mike over any other agent. Mike and his assistant Jo were both super efficient with the paperwork and their communication was top notch. Mike set realistic expectations and were extremely happy with the process. We would definitely recommend Mike and if we were to sell again we would definitely approach him. Thanks Mike!

Mike was easy and fast to work with while being extremely informative. Made buying our first house a breeze!

I had the pleasure of listing with Mike Murphy, an exceptionally lovely young man, who was recommended to me by a friend. We went through the photos and property blurb together and my property sold within a week for a great price. Mike is very genuine and professional and he listened to my thoughts on my property and how i'd like it marketed and I felt included in the whole process. I would be very happy to recommend him and Bayleys to represent other vendors. Having sold and purchased a few homes over the years I must say this experience has been the most stress-free and enjoyable.” S Creed
