Right from the beginning Michael was honest regarding our expectations. He was meticulous in guiding us throughout the whole process. Very experienced and professional. A pleasure to work with, could not be happier.
We chose Michael as he is very personable and was willing to put in the work to help us get our home ready to put on the market and to get sold. Michael was very transparent during the selling process and diligent with updates. Considering we lived afar from the property, Michael went above and beyond to coordinate services to get the house on the market when we were not able to be there. Being the first house we have sold, he was able to walk us through each step and what that involved.
As an executor of several estates, Michael has sold 3 properties for me over a number of years. He feels more like a friend now, rather than an estate agent, and is always available to talk to me whenever I have a query. I keep coming back to him for his friendless, understanding and competency and I would be happy to recommend Michael as your agent too.
Michael was fantastic. As it was our first time selling, he took us along the journey and walked us through every step, taking the time to ensure we were well informed along the way. Michael was extremely knowledgeable of the area and the market we were selling in. Michael is easy to get along with and always contactable with any questions we had. If we were ever to decide to sell again, Michael will be our first point of call.
Great experience with Michael. He is knowledgeable about the local market and helped us navigate our sale.
Michael is as professional as they come . His knowledge is what helped me through this whole process . His aim was always to make sure I was always happy and did not pressure me at all. He went far and beyond to obtain the best possible price at the time for me. Who can I call late and after hours and he still was there for me . Absolute gentleman and recommend to anyone either buying or selling . Michael made the whole experience easy pleasurable at the same time Thanks again for all your help .
Friendly, always open for discussion and very accomplished in communication. His aptitude towards the sale of the property was faultless which made for a very pleasing and comfortable experience in all aspects. We are very happy and delighted with the outcome. Thank you. Micheal.
Michael was very welcoming, in a market where many agents are fair weather traders he stands out as someone who truly enjoys the business of real estate. He was laidback and allowed us to reach a decision about the property while staying in frequent contact. He definitely represented the vendor’s best interests but kept us informed and continually checked with our needs. Most agents expect property to sell itself, but Michael knows that sustained engagement is the key to success and has clearly been a part of the Inner West for long enough to realise what it takes to truly sell an asset. Michael negotiated throughout but didn’t go back on his word or drive us away with dubious offers or false competition, which caused us to discard several avenues when we suspected the agent was behaving dishonestly. On the contrary, Michael operated with the long-term view that characterises his successful relationships in the area. Thanks, Michael. We are very glad to have dealt with you.
It is truly the most challenging time in anyone’s life, but even more challenging when we live in another State, and could not be present to prepare our house for sale due to Covid. Michael, your help in organising the preparation, refurbishment and styling of our property for sale was nothing short of extraordinary, and your tireless effort to make sure everything was perfect, just reinforced the fact that you were the right person to sell our home. You kept us informed at every stage, well prior to the property going on the market and throughout the campaign. You furnished us with current and useful information, activity reports, and were upfront and honest with us at all times. The result of your hard work was you kept buyers interested, provided us with good guidance, and, in the end, achieved a sale price well above our expectations, and prior to the auction. We would strongly recommend your services, as you work hard for your Clients, and we would happily be a reference in your future proposals.
He comes across as friendly, caring but also honest, which he is. Michael is very hands on as I asked and he delivered as he promised. Communication is fast and concise. The team made this a low stress experience and I couldn't recommend them more highly, thanks.
Selling a property is a stressful time. Selling a property in this current pandemic environment presents unprecedented challenges. We were so pleased to have worked with Michael Montano & Sarah Gay. Throughout the sales process, nothing was a problem. Michael and his team were available any time and literally organised everything from cleaning the property to the intricacies of exchanging contracts in a time of lockdown. The current NSW Health orders meant that Michael had to accompany every potential purchaser through the property individually. I was adamant to take the property to auction, as it was a unique duplex. Michael’s efforts culminated in a Zoom auction with nine registered bidders, all of whom participated in a bidding war with an end result that saw him achieve a sale price well above our expectation. We were so impressed with Michael’s work, two weeks later we decided to sell the second duplex. As Michael had already established a price, he sold the property within four days, again under even stricter health conditions. I apologise for the length of the note, but there is just too much to say. Thank you Michael & Sarah
We wouldn’t hesitate to do business with Michael Montano again. He really is the exemplary real estate professional. We originally bought the property from Michael years ago and subsequently he managed the property for us. He was always prompt and professional when dealing with tenants and kept us well informed. When the time came for us to sell, Michael was the obvious choice, not only because of our long association but because of his proven track record in the area. Michael is always active and has an exceptional knowledge of the market. We can’t recommend Michael highly enough.
