Mike provided us with excellent advice and a strategy suitable for a softening market. It was a strategy also put together knowing our time frame for moving interstate. Mike advised us that whilst quality properties were still selling well, an auction wasn’t necessarily the best option and we developed a strategy and marketing campaign around a private treaty sale to flush out negotiations on price from the outset. This worked well, however, this strategy needs to be backed by a hard negotiator who also has the integrity and honesty to build trust with buyers in the process. In this market, the flashy agents who talk with puffery won’t get the deal done as well as an honest work horse agent like mike. Highly recommeded

Mike was a delight to deal with. He was very flexible and allowed us to visit the property outside open inspection times. His approach during the whole process was one to really enable a good result for all parts involved. Highly recommend him!

We approached Michael and Liam at Jellis Craig with high expectations and a VERY quick lead in - we are very pleased that they were able to pull it off and deliver a great result on auction day. Highly recommend!

I am delighted with the level of service and professionalism at Jellis Craig and in particular with our agents Michael Amarant and George Theocharis. We chose Jellis to sell our family home because they presented well and and came with an excellent reputation in the area. The marketing materials and styling at Jellis Craig are clear, appealing and very contemporary. They presented our house so well we almost wanted to stay put! Michael and George are clearly experts in their field and very accomplished real estate agents. They communicated clearly and regularly with us to make sure the process went without a hitch. They used their networks effectively to find prospective buyers and managed a very successful auction. We were delighted with the result and I would recommend Jellis Craig and Michael Amarant to future buyers.

We were extremely pleased with the sale result for our home achieved by Mike, George and the Jellis Craig team and can highly recommend them. Mike and George impressed us with their honest, open and down to earth dialogue but obvious strong levels of local market knowledge. Jellis Craig are not the market leader in our area (yet) and we thought they might just go the extra yard and we were not disappointed! There was good levels of communication but not overly so and they always ' did what they said they were going to do' i.e. like both of them attending the 2 x opens each week and having these opens for 45mins. They prepared us well for our first ever auction and Mike conducted the auction with good flair and humour and secured us a great result. We felt it advantageous that the agent who managed our sale also conducted the auction. In summary, great knowledge, good style, strong follow-up with potential buyers. Thanks again Mike, George and the JC crew!

Michael was amazing. He is professional with great ethics and integrity. He has more than twenty years of experience and that has helped us greatly when we were selling our house. He works with a great team and they have done their best to allay every worry or fear we had during the process. They were also amazing at getting our place ready for the market with their network of readies and stylists. We felt very involved with the process as he always updates us with the results of call backs. His extensive database and networking meant that we had almost 90 parties interested in our property. His sound market knowledge also ensured that he was able to quote us a realistic and fair price for our house. He will not disappoint.

We first met Michael 7 years ago when he sold the same property to us at auction. As Michael will confirm, I am not the easiest of clients to deal with, being prone to bouts of negativity during the marketing process. Michael dealt with our concerns in a thoroughly professional manner and everything he predicted about the level of interest and number of bidders on auction day came to pass. As a result, we achieved $27k above our reserve. My wife and I did not witness the auction (we were advise to skulk in the garage!) but neighbours were very impressed with Michael’s role as auctioneer – clearly a master of his craft. Altogether a very satisfactory experience in contrast to our previous exposure to a property auction, as sellers, when we moved down to Fitzroy from Sydney 7 years ago. My wife joins me in conveying our thanks to the Jellis Craig team

I came to Mike quite late in my search for a real estate agent. I'd almost decided upon another agent and friends advised to check around a little more, this let me to Mike at Jellis Craig. Very pleased I did. Mike was knowledgeable, professional, easy to relate to and we quickly built a trusting relationship. The process and outcome has been most successful and not not stressful, as is often described. Mike has been proactive in every way and kept me fully informed throughout. Highly recommended.

Couldn't recommend Mike more highly

Michael and his team expertly handled our purchase in Collingwood. They kept us informed of the selling campaign and ensured we had all the information needed for Auction Day. They made themselves available for inspections and always responded quickly with enquiries. We appreciated Michael's expertise and would happily recommend him to potential clients.

Mike communicated well and showed respect at all times. He has excellent local knowledge and explains matters without patronising. His team made the preparation of the house for presentation and sale efficient. His briefing on the auction process was informative and clearly understood. He was always professional and handled the negotiations effectively.

We bought our 1st home 10yrs ago and michael was involved in that transaction. He was good to deal with as a prospective buyer. Over the years hes kept in touch with the odd email or voice message just to keep abreast of our situation. When it came time to sell i got i. Touch with michael and met up with him, liam and his stylist. They gave great advice about how to get the property best ready for sale, and they arranged a builder to do some minor updates and a full paint job and also teed up a gardener. Negotiating terms was easy. I never felt like he was ripping me off or pushing me to a flat rate or incentive commission. The marketing was smooth, he or liam called me after every inspection, and finally come auction day we got a result oretty much bang on what he thought the property should and would go for. I was very happy to have Mike as my agent and would definitely reccomend him and his team for sales in the inner north.
