From the initial engagement with Michael a few years ago when he sold us our first property in Australia to more recent where Michael helped us realise the gain our property had obtained over the 3 years, the service has been exceptional. We would most certainly work with Michael again in the future and look forward to our next property transaction. Cheers, Len
We were totally wrapped with their professional outfit. Everything went so smoothly from day one. They have such a great team of contacts and everyone worked seamlessly together. The whole team, the stylist, the campaign track video, the print advertising, the photographer, the price guide, the entire campaign went exactly to plan, especially the drone footage which was probably the most impressive footage I've seen on any campaign in Manly. Thanks a lot guys, very happy to work with you again.
From the start we felt that Michael was the right person to deal with selling our family home. His confidence and knowledge of his business in real estate gave us the security we needed at such an emotional time. Keeping us in the loop whenever anything needed to be asked or said. We highly recommend Michael Clarke and his team!
Michael ran a brisk, solid campaign. The house had its challenges and he worked well with what he had. Would recommend.
We have no hesitation in recommending Michael Clarke & Jesse Chester of Clarke & Humel as your agents for selling or purchasing your property!! They were so professional in every way!! Nothing was a problem & their advise was always excellent & reassuring!! They made the purchase of our property a delightful experience!!!
Clarke and Humel Property 55 Sydney Road Manly 2095 Dear Michael It has been our pleasure to deal with you Michael and your partner Cherie Humel. And from your team, Imogen Ball and Gavin Addison have been excellent throughout. Our property at 17 Fairlight Street Manly was placed in your hands after the preliminary meetings that discussed our prospects and a reasonable run-down from you of your selling experience, general philosophy and to a large extent your concern for handling the proposed sale with honesty mixed with a measure of realism. This is not an unusual approach to a selling engagement but Laraine and I were impressed with your earnestness and total commitment to the sales program from our point of view and from that of the potential purchasers. It is important to note that this program we undertook turned out to be incredibly efficient, comprehensive and persistently timely. Your partner, Cherie Humel was quickly onto the scene and advised, using her past engagements in architecture, on how best to present the house to give buyers a fair, realistic and honest assessment of the possible purchase. Imogen Ball your Client Service Manager, maintained a consistent attention to all of the many aspects associated with selling a house including of course the attendant legal and documentary procedures involved, plus always advice on presentation on a day to day basis. Gavin Addison, your Sales Associate, seemed also to be never off the job, despite all his other duties, attending to our needs, conducting prospective buyers’ inspections and carried out always with the utmost courtesy for all concerned. Generally Michael, the whole process was handled so expertly, with every aspect included: photography, video presentations and the expected and necessary advertising. The sale turned out to be also very successful and we came out of it totally impressed with your operation and the quality of your staff members. With much admiration and our best regards Bruce
Really like Michael's no-nonsense approach and professionalism.
It was time for us to downsize and sell our house at 13 Hill St Queenscliff and buy a smaller bolt hole somewhere in the same area. We picked 4 well known Real Estate agents in the area to select the agent we wanted to work with. Part of the decision was to check with some friends who had recently sold and their experiences met with our view that Clarke & Humel was the easy "Go To" decision. We made the right decision. Michael's and Cherie's leadership of that business is sensational which was professionally supported by their wonderful team. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt we'd worked with Michael for years - it was a true partnership. What else can a property vendor hope for. But then, by chance Clarke and Humel were also the agents for the property we wanted to buy in Manly as our new bolt hole. From our point of view, the auction day had an almost Carnival feel, albeit a serious and professionally run auction. The vendor was happy with the price, we were happy with the price. Over the years we've bought and sold many properties. This has clearly been the best experience of all. Ross Porter
Selecting an Agent, is never easy, going through the process helped us choose Michael because of his direct no nonsense approach and confidence. There was humour thrown in there also, this always helps when you can get along with someone that is working for you, to achieve an end goal. Selling before auction also cut out the stress of an auction, so for this we are very grateful. Thanks to Michael and his team for a successful result.
I can't thank you enough for your management of the sale of my house. I was delighted with the result and I know you could have done nothing more to achieve such a great result. You were a joy to work with (inclusive, efficient, professional, reassuring) especially under such difficult circumstances. Your team is also a joy to deal with. I could not recommend you highly enough.
Michael Clarke, who I knew nothing about, was selected by me from the Manly Daily. His approach was friendly and professional and I found it extremely easy to follow his approach to selling my property. After each open house, Michael and his team kept us up to date. When I mentioned to friends who was selling our property, their feedback was very positive. I would have no hesitation in recommending Clarke & Humel.
I must admit Michael blew me away in every aspect of the sale pre, during and post. He delivered on everything he said he would and his team was top notch. I have never dealt with a more professional agent in my life. Michael is beyond an agent. He is what I call a quintessential professional advisor. In my finance career I have met some of the leading Investment Bankers in the world. I would put Michael right up there with all of them. I am completely satisfied and will recommend him and his team to anyone. In fact I would say I can never imagine working with another agent for buy and sell.
