I am a real estate agent with over 15 years of experience and run my own real estate company in the US. I needed to find an agent in Southbank who could help sell my mothers penthouse apartment. I did some research and found Michael Pastrikos. I spoke with Michael, and he immediately answered all of my questions articulately, his experience and knowledge of the market shining through, and that his ethics, integrity and customer service were obvious from his answers. When I met with Michael at the home he was honest in his appraisal, and his recommendations of prep work that would give a good return on investment. After receiving quotes back from my own sourced contractors and Michaels, Michaels were about half the price of the others I received, so we used Michaels. With me back and forth from the US, Michael helped manage the prep work, and also managed the styling. He communicated, in detail, at every step of the way. An auction date was set, and Michael commenced marketing the home. His execution of the marketing was superb (and has resulted in our 'raising our game' on video). In a pre-auction meeting, Michael spent time explaining the strategy and how the reserve is set and what to expect. Everything he described occurred, with the resultant sale price far exceeding our expectations. Michael not only met my expectations of what an excellent real estate agent should be like, but he far exceeded them also. You will not go wrong choosing Michael to represent you. I can honestly say that Michael is the best of the best, and I would not hesitate to use him again!

Michael and Georgia were both fantastic. From start to finish, they were both professional, helpful and fantastic in their communication. Despite the uncertainties in the market with the effects of COVID and multiple lock downs, it was thanks to their tireless hard work that we got a fantastic result. As a first-time vendor, I cannot thank them enough for everything they have done and would definitely recommend them both to anyone selling (or buying).

Michael was knowledgeable, professional and gently guided us throughout the sales process. When our apartment hit the market it was softening and Michael pulled out all stops to get us the best possible price in those conditions. We were very thankful to have him working with us.

From the start Michael was clear, straightforward and realistic in his communication. He was reassuring and optimistic at all times. During the campaign he included us in his thinking. The result was stunning. Couldn't recommend him highly enough.

From the onset of initial contact with Michael Pastrikos, we were impressed with his commitment and knowledge of the Southbank (Vic) market. During a very tough selling period due to lockdowns in Victoria, his commitment and enthusiasm remained strong as well as the communication regarding potential purchasers. His personable nature combined with his professionalism lead to the sale of our unique river front property. Michael was always responsive, friendly, straight forward and honest with a modern approach to customer service as well as using relative technical reporting and data analysis. We would not hesitate to contact Michael again regarding future purchasing or selling in this innercity Melbourne precinct.

Michael actively worked in my best interests to achieve the best result available given the market conditions. He kept me informed during the process, in a high profissional manner. His knowledge and promise didn’t disappointed me actually in a difficult year of 2021 he sold my property in 35 days with a great deal.

Michael was amazing to work with when we were selling our apartment in Southbank. He is the epitome of everything you could want in a realestate agent. He is well-connected, knowledgeable and professional. His likability is what you want in someone representing your home to others. There is an ease about the way in which he conducts himself even amidst all the stress that comes with negotiating such an important personal transaction. He comes across as someone that truly loves what they do. He is exceptionally well organised, providing you with regular verbal and written updates and on-going support. His marketing and network connections are extensive. The advice he provided us with and his selling recommendations demonstrates that he is well versed in selling property in Southbank during challenging times. Michael made himself available for the entire process and always had a solution focused approach to any concerns, which is based on his thorough knowledge of the property market. At our initial meeting he provided multiple resources, suggestions and ideas, and his on-going reports and updates through-out the process allowed our experience of selling property to be a positive one. Michael was always quick to help in any way possible from the first phone call until closing. It is without hesitation that I would highly recommend him.

I decided to contact Michael after reading through the reviews online. From day one, Michael was professional, trustworthy, reliable and efficient. He is honest and fair to both buyer and vendor. He is very knowledgeable about the market and marketing strategy that best suits our property. I live interstate and am not familiar with how things run in Melbourne but I am glad that I listened to Michael and trusted his advice because it gave us an outcome beyond what we expected. The whole process has been a smooth and pleasant experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael to anyone and would sell with him again.

Michael was exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and communicative. He impressed us from the start with deep knowledge of the area and a well-researched strategy. Throughout the sale he provided frequent, detailed progress updates and consistently ensured that his approach was aligned with our goals. Market conditions were challenging, but through hard work and deft negotiation Michael was able to deliver a great result. Highly recommended.

Michael was always available no matter what time of the day or night. His dedication to selling our home and also knowledge of our area was impeccable. We are extremely happy with the outcome and extremely happy we had Michael as our agent.

Michael is outstanding as an agent I have used his services several times His market knowledge and understanding is to be commended and he is professional in all his skills I will recommend him to my colleagues without hesitation

We engaged Michael because he was touted as the number 1 agent for Southbank. We can happily say that he has lived up to the title and exceeded our expectations. We appreciated his honesty, his professional advice and his charming demeanour. He is a professional through and through, who aims to ensure the seller and buyer are both very happy. If we ever need an agent in Melbourne, I’ll be calling Michael.
