I was very impressed with Mike's experience and knowledge right from the beginning. He made everything exceptionally easy for me as the vendor and ironed out any potential problems without delay so that the whole sales process ran very smoothly and pleasantly. The photos of the house were very impressive and also brought out the beautiful views of the surrounding hills and harbour. Mike has an extremely easy and pleasant manner and I was impressed at the efficient way he dealt with any hitches, including things that I had thought might have become a problem but eventually didn't. I would have no hesitation in asking him to take care of any house sales I might have in the future.or recommending him to a prospective vendor. Many thanks, Mike. I have enjoyed working with you and Donna.

From start to finish we were very happy with the service we were provided.Mike was great with keeping us informed every step of the way and we would not have got the outcome we did without his help.We would happily recommend Mike to anybody else.

27 April 2021 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN As executors of our late mother estate. My sister and I recently engaged our Local Real Estate Agents Team Mike Shine. Mike and Donna did an excellent undertaking of marketing and promoting the property in Lyttelton with an amazing booklet of photographs and publicity outlining the merits of the property and section. Their commitment to us and their communication and negotiation skills were second to none, keeping us all fully informed at every step of the way which was a totally new experience to us especially as we were both under a very emotional and stressful time.. Consequently the result Mike and Donna achieved with the sale of our mothers home was totally outstanding. A big shout out and thank you to the Team Mike shine. We can highly recommend Mike shine – Ray White New Brighton. Graeme Koskela Lyn Carson

We made a very considered decision to choose Mike Shine. We were impressed by his in-depth knowledge of Lyttelton and his substantial experience, having worked in Real Estate for over 30 years. Mike and Donna make an excellent team, are highly organised, gave us prompt responses to any questions, and were very considerate of our wishes. Mike's enthusiasm and energy is infectious (and is coupled with a great sense of humour) and it is obvious that Real Estate is not a job to him - it is a passion. Having worked in Marketing for many years myself, I was very impressed with how our property was marketed, from the excellent photography through to the property description used for the sign, web, and printed material, everything was spot on. Mike's knowledge of what marketing methods achieve the results meant that our marketing spend was used wisely and effectively. The marketing, coupled with Mike's expertise, experience, great communication skills, and a solid process to back all of that up, led to a sale result that we were very happy with. Mike's reassurance and experience with auctions (working alongside an excellent auctioneer - Craig) eased our anxieties about having the auction on site at our home. We were most impressed by the preparation for the auction, how the auction was organised and run, and very happy with the result. We highly recommend the Mike and Donna team to anyone selling their home. Our thanks to you both, it has been a pleasure dealing with you.

The engagement of Mike and Donna to sell my loved home in Lyttelton resulted in a successful whirlwind, achieving, actually surpassing, my expectations in the shortest time and with the very minimum of stress. After considering various agents, I chose Mike because of his sales experience, knowledge of Lyttelton and because he was a long term local and part of the community, and also because of the positive sales history and reviews. Mike and Donna were friendly, very helpful and extremely considerate of all involved including my tenant and the neighbours, keeping everyone informed; organising the great marketing, photographs and suggestions for local landscaping help. Honestly it was so easy and could not have been completed in a shorter time frame. The sign went up and had an under offer sticker on it by the afternoon two days before Christmas and the sale completed by mid January. Thanks to Mike and Donna for being on the ball and getting the job done... and the cups of tea and delicious homemade shortbread :). Char

From the moment we walked into the open home, Mike was friendly and inviting. Giving enough space to look freely without any 'pressures'. He was close enough to ask any questions and had all the answers and upfront knowledge. Mike was always speedy with responses and open and honest in all communication. He went the extra mile in so many ways allowing us to enjoy and understand the whole process. After attending many open homes, I would definitely recommend Mike Shine to anybody who is requiring an agent. From a buyer's side, he was incredible and helped us know what we were getting in to.

Mike and his team provided a great service. He demonstrated a thorough knowledge of his field of expertise, was readily available to answer any and all questions we had, and above all, made us feel that he was dedicated to getting the best possible price for our house. Highly recommended.

Mike is professional and very easy to deal with . Super fast on any questions or issues. Made everything smooth and had good communication . Nothing was a problem and it felt like he was very supportive.

We are very pleased with the sale process for this property. Mike provided a professional service with a good outcome for both the seller and purchaser. A great result.

He was informative honest Reliable Persistent and fun We'll use him again

I met with Mike who clearly explained the process he would take.in organising a deadline sale. He communicated with me frequently and kepr me informed of what he was doing in organising the advertising and then the success of the two open homes that took place. I felt.very confident.that Mike was doing everything posdible to secure a top price for the.property and a quick sale process. The outcome was above and beyond what we expected and the.house sold very quickly. It was vert obvious Mike hasbeen selling.houses for many years and knew.exactlt what steps to take to achieve the end result. He was friendlt and very easy to deal with. He assisted to maintain the property in it's tidiest state and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to sell their property.

I cannot recommend Mike highly enough. From the first moment we met, I knew I was in expert hands. This was my first time to sell a house and Mike's vast experience was essential. Mike knew the local market, was confident in his knowledge and advise and more, he follows a process that 100% works. A process that is unique to his 30 years experience. On top of this Mike loves this work and no matter what I brought he had a solution. He recommended Trades people, make contacts where needed and over all made a stressful time, into a very positive outcome. Mike was at every open home, went to great lengths each time, and left no stone unturned with enquiries. Mike is a gentleman through and through, highly professional, exceptionally experienced and skilled in the reality market and someone to definitely have on your team when selling a property.
