We loved working with Michael for a number of reasons: He is an expert on Manly and prestige property in the area. His intimate knowledge of sales by street, plus people in the market, really helped to determine our pricing strategy. He is strategic. He has a game plan. He thinks ahead and works on multiple scenarios. And finally he is passionate about what he does. It’s clear how much he loves property. His energy and dedication to our sale put him a head above the rest from our very first meeting. We would work with Michael again and highly recommend him.

Thank you Michael for your help with our recent auction. Having to sell our beloved family home, which has been in our family for 59 years, has been a very emotional time for us all. We felt that we could put our trust in you doing your very best for us, and knew you were sympathetic to our strong emotional ties to our home, and to the difficult time we were going through. If I ever have to sell my home again, I would be happy to put the sale into the capable hands of you, Cherie & your team.

A natural born salesman, Michael is indeed at the top of his field. Everything from the initial quote to the final sale, Michael was spot on. If you’re thinking of selling on the Northern Beaches I would most certainly recommend using Michael. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Michael and the whole team at Clarke & Hummel for a straightforward and successful sale! Christopher

In choosing the right agent for us we first put our top four choices of Estate Agents through the mill and then evaluated them using a matrix of criteria.

Throughout the marketing campaign the Clarke & Humel team delivered on time and to the high standards expected of them. Michael's conduct was both professional and ethical and he impressed us with his boundless enthusiasm and energy. In the end he achieved an excellent result and we are delighted with the outcome. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to any prospective vendor. A personal "Thank You" to Michael and his team.

A big thankyou to Michael Clarke and all his team for their personable and professional approach throughout the sale process. Their great teamwork and seamless execution is testament of the service culture of this agency. A special thanks to Jessica Hine, our Client Services Manager, for her superb customer service skills in coordinating all the services with calmness and efficiency in such a tight timeline prior to the campaign. Michael’s detailed knowledge of a constantly moving market and his ability to clearly articulate the strategy for our property left us in no doubt we we were in the best hands. We appreciated his frankness and his constant updates kept us fully informed throughout the campaign. His attention to detail, focus and unrelenting level of commitment to realize an optimum outcome is second to none.

My wife and I engaged Michael Clarke and Cherie Humel to sell our home in Manly in May 2017. We were very happy with the service we received from Michael, Cherie and the rest of the C&H team throughout the sale process. C&H provided us with with all the assistance we needed in preparing our property for sale and kept us well informed during the actual sales campaign. Our property was sold under the hammer above our reserve price, and we were very satisfied with the result. We have no hesitation in recommending Michael and Cherie to any vendors selling property on the Northern Beaches.

We chose Clarke and Humel to market our property because we had got to know them well over several years during our own property search and could see how they worked tirelessly to keep both vendors and purchasers informed. Michael's philosophy is attention to detail and in a competitive market that's what makes the difference. Michael's market knowledge is incomparable and gave us confidence that our property would be represented in the best possible way. There is a strong team behind him including Emily Hay, the client services manager, who deserves a special mention for her superb customer focus and support throughout the whole process, arranging photoshoots, stylist and a host of other things whilst we were on holiday. We felt fully informed throughout the whole process and unreservedly recommend Clarke and Humel.

In a somewhat transitional Manly market we achieved a fabulous result with seven hot bidders. Michael was phenomenal in assessing and lining up the buyers, and communicating that detail to me daily. He works with speed and style, has a detailed knowledge of the Manly market, and is incredibly intuitive with people. Michael was particularly skilled at handling our difficult divorce situation throughout the sale process, resulting in a smooth and less stressful campaign for me. The Clarke and Humel machine kicked in as soon as we signed on and I felt very well supported with advice, Trades, appropriate marketing and at open houses. Everyone in the Clarke and Humel team were professional and lovely to deal with. From the bunch of flowers at our first open house to the bottle of Verve on auction day, the sales process was smooth, efficient and stylish. I highly recommend Michael Clarke and his team to you.

Amazing work from Michael and the team at Clarke & Humel, we couldn't be happier with how you handled the sale of our home and of course the final sale price! We are especially grateful and impressed with how smooth the whole process was. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Michael had a clear strategy to reach those whose budgets might stretch, have them inspect, identify those with possible or serious interest, build interest and momentum over the on-market period, and negotiate consummately. Both the strategy and the implementation were excellent. We chose Michael after a thorough process of engaging and interviewing a number of agents and insisting on talking to some of their recent clients (of our choosing). We are very glad we chose him. Some of the other agents have since described the result he achieved as "outstanding" - which is only fair, since it was way above the "most optimistic" end of the range of what they thought could be achieved.
