My parents had been in their home in Sylvania for 61 years, having bought the land prior to their wedding and then built the original house, and extended it as the family grew over the years. So the decision to move to a retirement village was a hard one for them. It also happened quite quickly due to their changing health needs so we all needed to work quickly to make sure that the house sale went through in the right time frame.

Michael was fantastic throughout the entire process - right from the start he was sensitive to their needs. They had never moved house or sold a property and so all of this process was new to them. At their age too it was all quite confusing, and Michael treated them with respect and kindness and this them feel so much more comfortable with the process.

In addition to the care he showed them, he was very good at professionally handling the communication with the rest of the family across the sales period.

The whole process was handled efficiently and we were able to achieve an excellent price in a soft market within 3 weeks of placing the house on the market. Michael worked closely with all prospective buyers, and we were able to finalise the sale without the added stress of an auction which we all felt would have been hard for my parents to handle.

I would highly recommend Michael to anyone wanting to sell their property. He was honest and straight with us at all times. He communicated clearly with everyone and made sure that we were all kept up to date with every part of the process. I also felt he acted with integrity with everyone, which is hard to find these days. His fees were very competitive, and this was also important to us so that my parents were able to cover all the costs of the move.

Thank you Michael for helping us all get through a tricky process. Mum and Dad are happy in their new home and this has only been possible due to the work you have done to make sure they got the best possible price and sales terms which brought everything together so well.

We would like to thankyou very much for the excellent results achieved by you in the auction of our house at Sylvania. The sale which exceeded our reserve by $100,000.00 was very professionally handled.

Just a quick letter of gratitude for the wonderful job you did of selling our property at Sylvania. We were very pleased to work with you to achieve a sale price which met all our expectations. We would like to commend you on your professional approach to the sale. We found your manner with potential buyers both professional and warm. Your ability to highlight the positive aspects of our home and help the interested parties to visualise themselves in our home was superb. Although our home was on the market for a reasonable length of time prior to sale, it was sold very quickly once you took over management of the property. I believe your natural skill and professionalism contributed to this and your revised marketing campaign was excellent. Once again thankyou for keeping us involved through the entire process and for achieving such a fabulous result for us. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you.

We wish to thankyou sincerely for all your efforts in the recent marketing and sale of our property. First we were visited by you to explain all the details about the marketing program. We discussed brochures, advertising and open house details and were able to ask questions which enabled us to understand what was going to happen. We thank you for being courteous, efficient and at all times striving for the best results possible for the sale of our property. You kept us informed at all times and, most importantly, found a buyer; and this, during a very quiet market. We could not have been more pleased with your professionalism during the whole of the marketing campaign and throughout the finalisation of the sale. We have no hesitation in recommending you to any prospective seller or purchaser.
