I would highly recommend Michael Hingston as an auctioneer for your property. He is very much on the ball and gave us very good advice. On the day of our auction we could not fault his skills. His delivery Is professional, well rehearsed (he does not flounder, lose focus or treat his bidders with anything other than respect). I have yet to see an auctioneer in Melbourne that can deliver a more professional performance. I would advise you attend his auctions and view him in action. He is very good at his craft.

I've been buying & selling property for years & rate Michael as an outstanding young talent. He is wise beyond his years & very responsive to customer needs. He seriously adds value & was instrumental in exceeding expectations on every level. Persistence, intellegence & innovation is what you want & expect from an agent in a sophisticated market & Michael ticks all those boxes. I highly recommend him!

Michael worked very conscientiously with the sale of my home. He was very professional and was very tuned in to achieving the best possible results on my behalf. A very smooth transaction and I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

He is the most professional agent I have dealt with. He an honest and knowledgable person and I would recommend him to any one who is looking for an agent.

We think the whole process of selling this town house is a manifesto of Michael and Chris's professionalism, devotion and friendliness. The house was sold well above the reserve. i highly recommend you to employ Michael and Chris-the father and son being a good team to bring s market price into full potential.

Have strong ability and capacity, Strong negotiation skills and had deep knowledge towards the market and customer. Also a really trustworthy agent. Makes everything much more easier and comfortable. It was the first time working with them however if possible would like to work with him again. It was great experience working with them. strong recommendation to work with.

Michael did an amazing job. He worked extremely hard for the best price! Personable and exceptional customer service skills. Highly recommended indeed.

We have used Michael and his team for the sale of two of our properties now and could not be happier with the level of service, advice and professionalism we received. Mike sets an extremely high standard for himself and always strives for a result that exceeds expectations. He is a fantastic communicator and provides honest, open and realistic feedback throughout the entire sales process. Mike is also one of the most professional and effective auctioneers that I have experienced, which is a significant point of difference. I would encourage people to contact Mike early when you are considering selling your property as he is able to provide great practical real estate advice. He is willing to work with you and your personal circumstances and does not pressure you in any way to try and secure your business. In our instance, having built a relationship with Mike, he was also able to find a new home for us, which was exactly what we were looking for. Having sold other properties with other agents – Mike is an exceptional real estate agent and auctioneer and we would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

I love a professional, no-hassle approach to selling property! Having worked previously with Hawthorn Jellis Craig's Chris and Michael Hingston to successfully sell an almost unsaleable company share property, I had no hesitation in re-engaging the competent father and son team to do their magic with my much loved investment property in the Hawthorn East vicinity where I grew up. Chris and Michael responded promptly to my request for an honest appraisal of my less than extraordinary yellow-brick property, offering frank opinions about its likely appeal in the current market-place, along with practical clues as to how best we could enhance the property, without spending a fortune prior to public scrutiny in a competitive market. Mike and Chris steered their competent and courteous sales and admin back-up team to ensure that I was kept in the loop with up-to-the-minute feedback during every process of the sales campaign. Taking admirable advantage of the wide Jellis Craig network of registered purchasers, they diligently draw the attention of appropriately qualified buyers towards specific properties that may suit their needs. This worked beautifully to attract several eager contestants to vie for possession of my property, culminating in Michael's impressive mastery over a dynamically paced auction, with a sales price beyond expectation delivered on the day. An indomitable and trustworthy marketing combination - I thoroughly recommend Michael Hingston, along with his father Chris, to successfully gratify both vendor and purchaser, when committed to even the most challenging sales campaign. Sincerely, June Leijon

Very good service.

The decision to sell our Richmond property was a significant undertaking given the previously harrowing experience with a competitor agent. Our criteria was simple – trust, market knowledge, best in class profile and most importantly professionalism end to end, which formed the basis of our decision to engage Michael Hingston and the team at Jellis Craig / JCBM. With a family history in real estate, my expectations were set high and I am pleased to say that Michael rose to the challenge. Having previously experienced Michael’s approach to doing business when purchasing our family home in Kew, it was evident during this process that he was a step above the rest. This was consistent during our selling experience. Michael’s attention to detail, frequent dialogue, comprehensive summaries post inspections and fair price indexing enabled informed decision making throughout our auction campaign. Evidence of success none the less is based on the final result and Michael certainly ensured this on the day of auction. Setting realistic valuations for potential buyers meant that our target audience met reserve ambitions. We were beyond ecstatic with our sale price and I truly believe that Michael’s execution on the day was the result of this. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Michael for delivering on his promise of achieving such an extraordinary result. Michael Hingston is first class in his field and we will continue to utilise him for any future sales. If you are looking for the best possible experience and result when choosing an agent, I would strongly recommend Michael Hingston and the team at Jellis Craig. 100% satisfaction.
