We had an excellent experience with Michael Pead in the sale of our property. Michael was professional, approachable and responsive throughout the entire process. His knowledge of the Canberra property market was evident, and we particularly appreciated his clear communication and straightforward advice at every stage of the campaign. Michael kept us well informed, was always available when we needed to discuss anything, and handled the sale process with confidence and professionalism. We felt that he genuinely understood the property and how best to position it in the market. Selling a property can be stressful, but Michael made the process smooth and straightforward. We were very pleased with the service we received and would have no hesitation recommending Michael to anyone considering selling their property.

We have bought and sold a few times and no other agent compares to Michael. From start to finish, Michael and his assistant Miranda were an absolute pleasure to deal with. Not only are they fantastic at what they do, but they are also just genuinely lovely human beings — down-to-earth, relatable, approachable and incredibly easy to work with. We never felt like just another sale. Michael brings a refreshing combination of professionalism, honesty, warmth and good humour. We are so grateful for all the hard work, dedication and personal attention that went into selling our home.

Very helpful in getting the best outcome in a depressed market

Michael was the perfect agent to manage the sale of our much loved family home in February 2026. He was thoughtful, energetic and strategic in his approach to the sale campaign, explaining each stage of the process and keeping us up to date on prospective buyers after each open house. We appreciated Michael's clear guidance in the lead up to the auction, especially on how the process worked, and how we could work around our reserve price. This meant we went into the process with a clear plan on price. On auction day were very impressed with how he ran the auction, his skill in keeping the price moving, and his care in consulting and negotiating with us. It was a nerve-wracking ten minutes, but the results were well beyond what we might have hoped. Finally, Michael's empathy and understanding as we went through the emotional ups and downs of selling our family home, was invaluable. It really helped to have his advice and reassurance all the way through. We have moved on to our next chapter knowing that our beloved home was sold for what it deserved, and that it has passed into good hands. Michael is a highly professional and skilled agent who deserves recognition. We would highly recommend him!

Michael’s knowledge of the fluctuating market was excellent. We were very happy his attention to detail and his understanding the current market which was communicated to us on a regular basis. We were very happy with the result and would not hesitate to use Michael in the future. Also a quick shout out to Miranda who was fantastic throughout the process.

Very professional with excellent negotiating skills

I gave Michael five stars for his empathy, insight, professionals skill, and energy. He and his team were enthusiastic and responsiveness. Their market knowledge was excellent and helped us get the sale.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience selling our home with Michael. From the very beginning, he was professional, approachable and genuinely honest about the best possible outcome for us. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and we always felt informed by Michael and his team. Michael went above and beyond, was honest and transparent with his advice, and made the process feel so much easier. What stood out most was the personal approach. We never felt like just another sale or a number on a list. Michael genuinely cared about our experience and worked incredibly hard to get the result we were hoping for. We would have absolutely no hesitation recommending Michael to anyone looking to sell their home. Thanks again for everything, Michael!

Michael was prompt in contacting us to arrange an initial appointment, that afternoon. We were discussing the sales strategy that afternoon with Michael and Miranda from Hive. Michael demonstrated a much superior knowledge of the Canberra market, to that of other realestate agents. This was proven to us by Michael’s different strategy for sale of our home. Following the first open home we were receiving offers, with acceptance reached within 5 days. Canberra has an average listing period of around 80 days, Michael’s experience and knowledge crushed this time down to 5 days. Great job Michael, we are so impressed. Informing family, friends and neighbours of Michael’s great work. So if you are thinking of selling your home, have Michael Pead your first choice realestate agent in the Canberra region.

We were buyers, and Michael was very accomodating to show the house even outside of official viewing times. Not pushy or intrusive like some agents, Michael was very friendly and low key, but still had a very good knowledge of the features of the house. Recommend.

Communication was essential as we had tenants when selling, Michael communicated with all parties very effectively. The market has changed very rapidly in the last 2-3 months Michael and the team where on top and their knowledge was current and on point. Michael is approachable, honest and a great negotiator. I cannot fault Michael’s professionalism, his commitment and having your best interest at the forefront of his dealings was very reassuring.

Michael was consistently available to provide advice and responses to questions about the sales process from beginning to end. He worked very hard throughout the campaign to constantly show case the house and seek interest from a range of potential buyers. Michael maintained his professionalism and persevered in a changing environment which ended in a successful sales result and was highly appreciated by the vendor.
