Michael set very clear expectations of sale time, which were spot on. Sale price came in at the upper end of our appraisal which was an excellent outcome. His communication was timely and transparent. I would recommend Michael to anyone without hesitation.
Michael is nice but I'm really disappointed as a first home buyer and would not want to deal with Bennett Property ever again. The duplex I purchased was advertised as "NO STRATA FEES!" on the listing title and description. When I questioned Michael Bennett (Principal) and Jacob Bennett, they told me each owner looked after their own home and contents insurance. Because the property is a two-lot strata scheme, this is actually illegal under NSW strata legislation. The correct insurance is a single strata building policy in the name of the owners corporation. This means the "NO STRATA FEES!" advertising is misleading in my opinion, as strata fees are made up by the shared building insurance and any damage to common property (e.g. roof) would not be covered under the original arrangement. In my opinion Michael and Jacob showed no understanding of this. I challenged them during cooling off and was made to feel like I was wrong. After spending hours speaking to NRMA I convinced them and the Vendor they were wrong and the insurance was corrected. Without me pushing this, I believe it would’ve been left wrong. Michael also told me the roof was "not common property" despite being physically connected on both sides, which is bizarre in my books and extremely concerning. Less than 5 business days before settlement, the Vendor booked a new settlement date without agreement. The property also settled late and the keys were not returned on time. I was left waiting at the office. This whole process was stressful and what should’ve been a happy moment was soured. This experience has turned me off ever using Bennett Property again as I have zero confidence that they know what they're doing.
Michael and the team at Bennett Property have been extremely helpful throughout the whole experience. Michael made buying a house easy! Excellent customer service and outstanding communication throughout the process. Thank you Bennett Property.
Michael's experience and knowledge of the property market, gave us the confidence to continue working with him to sell our current home. He is very professional, patience and communicative. We were kept well informed and listened to, concerning the progress of our sale. Michael was very empathetic and respectful when communicating information to my elderly mother. I can highly recommend Michael and the Bennett Real Estate team.
From the outset Michael and his team proved their ability to understand the unique aspects of the design of our property and to communicate it to potential buyers. Michael demonstrated his innate knowledge of living on acreage and of the Hawkesbury's cultural and natural advantages. He has the ability to accurately analyse and interpret the current market situation. He, Daniel, Jacob and Samantha were at all times respectful and thoughtful towards us; supporting and advising us through the marketing, viewing and selling process with their knowledge and experience to minimise disruption to our daily lives. They displayed a level of professionalism that comes from many years of experience and of being part of our community. We are so very grateful to them for the outcome they achieved.
We saw this property for sale. We liked it. We negotiated the price, and our offer was accepted. Thank you.
Michael was fantastic to work with when I bought my lot in Kurrajong. He was professional, friendly, and really knowledgeable, making the whole process easy and stress-free. I felt well supported from start to finish and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy in the area. Thankyou
I needed to sell quickly and quietly. Michael and his team were kind, thoughtful and discreet in the manner in which they approached this sale. Michael knew the current market well and advised on the price that my property would sell for and it sold for that exact amount. Thank you.
Michael Bennett is highly recommended for his continuing high level of expertise to achieve the best results for his vendors - not about the quick sale at the ‘ vendors expense’, but to achieve the best sale result, whether its fast or does take some months. True Gentleman and always happy to help out to assist in the sale process, as the sale process can be confusing, frustrating and stressful. We achieved a brilliant result and would highly recommend Michael Bennett.
I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Michael. From start to finish, he was professional, responsive, and genuinely had my best interests at heart. Communication was clear and timely, nothing was ever too much trouble, and I always felt supported and informed throughout the entire process. His knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and calm, confident approach made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. I recommend Bennett Property to anyone looking for an agent they can truly trust.
We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent. Michael’s knowledge of the market and attention to detail made such a difference. He kept us informed, answered every question, and went above and beyond to ensure a great outcome. We felt completely confident and supported throughout the process and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Michael to family and friends.
Michael is an experianced, knowledgable agent who listened to what we wanted and took the time to share his experiance with us by offering alternative options when needed. We've been very happy with the care that Michael has taken working with us whilst we completed the build.
