Testimonials

I can’t say this about any other real estate agent that I have ever dealt with, I believe what he says, and he does what he says he will do.

He is a no bullshit person and will give it to you straight whether you want it or not.

If you are looking for an agent that promises you everything you ask for and then spends the entire time convincing you that the "market is telling you that your property is worth way less than I valued it at one week ago and you have to drop the price", then read no further, there are hundreds of them circling at the bottom of the agent ocean, and if that is whom you are looking for you won’t be disappointed, pick anyone else.

However, if you want someone that will back themselves in on their valuation, believes in your property and what he has told you, then Michael will sell your property at the right price for you with no fuss or bullshit.
I have used Michael, successfully in over 12 transactions over 20 years.

I have also spoken with Michael on numerous occasions over the years on real estate trends and feelings. He has always been happy to talk with me and I have always listened to his advise.

If you are looking for an agent, even if the property is located outside his general area, use him.

We have a rental property  and recently contacted them to sell our property in Banyo. Michael and his partners and his office crew couldn't do enough for us. they where great. The property was sold within a very short time on the market and for the amount that was estimated at the beginning of our negotiations. We are extremely happy the way it was handled and the continues updates that were provided to us. We still have the rental property and their management of that property is very well managed with regular updates. I highly recommend them for selling, buying or renting out your valuable property. Thanks again Michael and your partners.

Michael was a great agent. He has a 'no pressure' approach to both buying and selling, which I think many clients appreciate. His communication was spot on and he was able to sell my unit for the asking price. I would highly recommend him.

Michael’s good humoured, straight forward manner appealed to us from the beginning. We were confident he was speaking frankly and in the interests of all parties, and appreciated his ethics and advice in very competitive industry. Our confidence was rewarded by a smooth, hassle free purchase at a fair price. We’ll certainly deal with Michael again in the future.

I had the pleasure of dealing with Michael on a purchase - a true professional! A very honest and credible agent out in the market. As a buyer in the transaction, he was always proactive and communicated constantly throughout to settlement. His post settlement followup has been brilliant. A big thank you to Michael in what has been a very special transaction for me.

My wife and I had the pleasure of dealing with Michael in the sale of our investment property. Michael, provided an extremely accurate estimate on the value of our property and guaranteed to sell the property within a range of that price, which he did. In all of my dealings with Michael, I found him to be extremely knowledgable, practical, honest and above all else trustworthy. Michael provided regular updates on the progress of selling our property and his marketing strategy and advice along the way turned out to be pure gold. I cannot recommend Michael highly enough and I would absolutely use his services again in the future.

Michael was a real pleasure to do business with. He was friendly, professional and always there to answer any questions and providing feedback was his top priority. As all sellers can relate to, communication is key in a happy relationship. Thank you Michael and you are greatly appreciated.

We had the pleasure of dealing with Michael on the purchase of an investment property recently. Michael was very helpful from start to finish and his local area knowledge was invaluable. We really appreciated his honesty, and his straightforward manner in negotiating with the sellers on our behalf. I would have no hesitation in recommending Michael, and we would certainly get in touch with him in the first instance should we wish to buy or sell a property in the area.

Michael sold me the property almost 20 years ago, managed the rental for most of that time, was always there to talk to about options, then generated a solid number of prospective buyers and sold the property within 2 weeks right in the estimated price range. He's someone who knows his area inside out from decades of running his own agency there. He's also someone who is easy to trust with your investment, and a nice guy to boot.

We drove up a street and saw a for sale sign, surprised the agent said he would meet us there 1 hour later we didn't have to wait for an open inspection.

We met Michael Verstandig at the appointed time.

He showed us through the door and said go for it I'm not going to harass you, we had a good look and then talked with Michael about a few things which led him to explain there was 2 offers to be submitted to the owner on Monday, this was Sunday. To our surprise Michael said he would give no indication at all about the other offers as he worked for the owners, I was impressed and said now there's three.

I received a phone call on Monday to say our offer had been accepted, great news.

Michael did a great job for the owner I know this from the new neighbors who are friends of the owners.

My experience with Michael as the purchaser was also brilliant no problems at all, he even dropped the new house keys off to us after settlement with a bottle of wine to celebrate.

Buying a new house can be very stressful, Michael you made this a walk in the park Thank you.

Really appreciative with this wonderful real estate. The time and effort they all spent processing my application, I couldn't be happier. They are so loyal and understanding and I hope to rent through them for many years...

Hopefully even buy my first house with this amazing Real Estate. Highly Recommended!

After hearing all the horror stories of people dealing with real estate agents it was a pleasure to find such a down to earth and honest approach from Michael. He kept me informed throughout the entire process from the taking of the photos to the signing of the contract. Best of all he was able to achieve a record price for my two bedroom home.

I have no hesitation in recommending Michael and the team

I rang Michael on Thursday asked him if it would be possible to sell my house and do you think it would take long to get someone interested. That Saturday he had a customer and with some more careful negotiation he accomplished a Great Price we could not be happier.

I highly recommend his company to look after your interests does not make a fuss but gives you a very honest opinion.

Thank you for your great service.

This is the third time we have dealt with Michael to buy or sell a home, and it has once again been a positive and relatively stress free experience. Michael is honest and down-to-earth people who take pride in getting to know their clients and buyers alike, and genuinely try to achieve the best outcomes for both parties.

Michael is very positive and engaging and always kept us up to date with what was happening. He was willing to answer any questions, and never once did we feel pressured into any decision. Michael quickly earned our trust and respect, and used his knowledge and experience to ably guide us through the selling process.

I recommend Michael to anyone who appreciates an honest, hard working agent who takes pride in providing personalised service to achieve the best outcome for their clients.

Dear Michael and Franco,

We would like to thank you and your team for the prompt sale of our home at The Gap, being "senior citizens" we were a bit apprehensive about the sale.

Your company was recommended to us by an associate who had also the pleasure of dealing with yourselves. At all times you kept us advised of inspections, and our sale was effected in less than a month of listing.

Many thanks for the great service you provided to us, we would not hesitate to recommend your company.

Yours sincerely
