Lots of open days and a very detailed report was provided after each open day. There was lots of communication via email updating us on the status of the selling process.

Michael was outstanding in every aspect with the sale of our property. His professionalism and knowledge was outstanding and he went the extra mile to keep our minds at ease.

Michael was honest and helpful throughout the selling process, we’d have no hesitation in recommending him. Thanks.

Thanks Michael for your help with our purchase. We really weren't too sure how we would go, bidding for this property bit took a punt and here we are. Your communication was on point. You weren't pushy, but you were helpful and understanding that behind the bid were hard working parents of a young family. Some agents get a bad wrap for not being human enough but I would definitely not put Michael on the list. Thanks again for your help.

Michael’s knowledge of the local market became clear during our initial conversation as a result of his having been in the business locally for the past 30 years. There was no pressure or hard-sell from Michael to sign with Richardson & Wrench, and he was totally upfront with the commission and advertising costs. I found Michael to be totally professional and confident in explaining the process of selling a property and what each party needed to do, to give me a full understanding of my responsibilities in the process. Michael took the time to discuss the background of my home’s history and the circumstances surrounding my sale and then went through a detailed inspection of my home with me, where he made many excellent suggestions in presenting my home to its full potential. Michael gave me a very detailed explanation of the sales methods and alternatives in either opting for a private sale or auction, as being the most competitive. Michael presented a realistic market appraisal to me as to my home's value and I found he was honest and fair with his property appraisal. During our initial meeting Michael presented a detailed marketing strategy designed to maximize the sale of my home and, on acceptance, I received weekly marketing reports, phone calls and emails from him which kept me fully informed of the marketing activity during the pre- sale process. His advice prior to the auction day was commendable and this helped me in making decisions that resulted in an exceptional sale price on the day. He showed the utmost respect to the buyer and myself and spent considerable time to create a relaxed atmosphere for both parties when the auction ended. Michael showed he was respectful, empathetic, true to his word and an absolute pleasure to work with, I would highly recommend Michael to assist in both buying and selling a property in the Illawarra Region, having established a solid reputation with me of honesty and integrity.

Michael was really open, honest and kind. Being first home buyers he had great advice for us, genuinely cared about our needs and was honest with his advice. Thanks Michael!

Michael presented as most professional and confident in his role. He was in business mode immediately we engaged his services. I had every confidence in his ability and was pleased with the result. I would not hesitate to use his services again. He is a credit to R & W.

Michael has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Before we thought we needed to ask, Michael asked us first, reminded us and updated us around the clock. He really took it upon himself to make us feel reassured and at ease. He is extremely professional and you can tell that he has many years of experience once you talk to him. We are certain, that in the future, if we need to sell again, we will not settle for any other agent, we are pleased and satisfied and grateful beyond our wildest expectations. Cheers Michael, you're an absolute champion.

This is the second time that I have been involved with Michael in selling a property. His experience is long term and his awareness of the market is exceptional. He spoke honestly with me about the selling process and kept me informed constantly.

Michael was very straight forward to deal with and treated my husband and myself respectfully and with understanding. He went over and above to secure the purchase for us and was transparent at every stage.

My wife and I had been searching for a house for 7/8 months, the only thing I wish was that we dealt with Michael Moate at R&W sooner. It was incredibly refreshing and relieving to find a genuinely honest, professional and grounded real estate agent. The real estate sector would be viewed very differently by buyers if more were like Michael. He keeps everyone's best interest in mind and does it in an honest and transparent fashion. Thank you Michael!

Michael put a plan together, and articulated it to us as sellers, then put the plan to action, communicating progress throughout the process. I have no hesitation in giving Michael my highest recommendation.
