I have known Micheal for the past 10 years in the capacity of both a buyer and a seller of real estate in Manly. I bought my first apartment through Micheal in 2007 and since then he has maintained a solid relationship with me, keeping me updated on recent sales and market trends as well a taking a genuine in me, so the decision to use Micheal for my recent apartment sale in Manly was simple. Actually using him was never in question as Micheal has always exhibited all the qualities I look for in a sales person - He really is a true professional. Given I currently live overseas the sale of my apartment could have been a stressful process but Micheal made it smooth and seamless. I was incredibly impressed by how quickly he had it on the market after our initial conversation, his knowledge and depth of market trends and recent sales as well and I valued his ideas on a marketing campaign to ensure a fast sale. Micheal's communication skills were outstanding. He kept me abreast of every detail which was of great importance to me given the physical distance. Having bought my first apartment through Micheal, I have been on both sides of the negotiation process eitb him and I have been impressed by his ability to work for the seller, maximizing the price attained, but at the same making the buyer feel like they really want the property and that they are paying the right price without intimidating them. As a sales person myself I know first hand that this is a skill that only the very best sales people have. I have no hestitaton in recommending Micheal and I will definitely be using him to sell my next property.
