A person of his word.

In a world where buying and selling is hard to navigate, where disappointment is commonplace, Michael and Kristian who we've known for more than a year, finally helped us realise our dream of buying in Summer Hill. They are professional, efficient and have great market knowledge.

Integrity In Real Estate

Integrity In Real Estate

Michael is one of the few genuine and honest people I have dealt with in the Real estate Industry. He was realistic in his property evaluation, as sellers often have unrealistic views of what their property is worth. Our property, being a lift-less top floor unit, proved to be a challenge, with only 1 genuine buyer interested. Michael managed this difficult sale in a very professional manner

Great experience from first-time buyers

We had a great experience buying from Michael. He was extremely helpful in arranging times for us to view the property, and very friendly and personable. He made the whole process extremely comfortable on our end - even as first-time buyers - and we were thrilled with the outcome.

Top Notch Professional

I recently had the pleasure of working with Michael Poynting as the sales agent for a property purchase in Summer Hill, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Michael's extensive knowledge of the local area was evident from our first interaction, and it truly set him apart as a top-notch professional. As a buyers agent who deals with a variety of agents regularly, I can confidently say that Michael stood out. What impressed me most was his approachability and ease to work with. He was always attentive, responsive, and willing to address any questions or concerns, which made the entire process smooth and efficient. Michael's negotiation skills are commendable. He understands that a successful property deal is not just about closing the sale but ensuring it's a win-win situation for both parties involved. His ability to navigate negotiations with integrity and fairness speaks volumes about his professionalism and commitment to client satisfaction. Moreover, Michael's genuine understanding of the importance of a mutually beneficial outcome sets him apart as a truly exceptional agent. He prioritizes the interests of both buyers and sellers, fostering a positive and collaborative atmosphere throughout the transaction. I highly recommend Michael Poynting to anyone in need of a knowledgeable, reliable, and ethical sales agent. Thank you, Michael, for your outstanding service and for making the property buying experience a truly positive one!

A-Grade Agent & Gentleman

A-Grade Agent & Gentleman

I deal with many selling agents in my capacity as a Buyers Agent. There are few that have the same level of empathy, communication and professionalism that Michael has. Literally... Michael excels in difficult negotiations because of his ability truly understand the various pain points of the buyer and seller. Because of this, he is often able to secure a great outcome for his clients where others would most certainly fail to get all parties to reach an agreement. As the review headline says, Michael is an "A-Grade Agent & Gentleman". He's one of the top performing agents in the Inner West and you'd be lucky to have him on your team...

5 Star Agent - without equal in Summer Hill

5 Star Agent - without equal in Summer Hill

Buying with Michael and his team was a dream. We were so grateful that Michael guided us towards this superb art-deco apartment in Summer Hill. Michael really has that rare ability in a real estate agent to listen and get the best out of a buyer and seller, but in a way that is respectful to both parties. From the first inspection, Michael was incredibly transparent and upfront about the owner's expectations, and this aligned with other recent sales in the area. He was extremely knowledgeable about the building and the unit he was marketing, including its many features and what the owners loved most about living there. Michael possessed outstanding knowledge of the Summer Hill neighbourhood, showing his vast experience in the area and his genuine passion for it. Michael and Kristian are terrific communicators, and they kept us up to date throughout the campaign at every opportunity (even post-exchange)! The attention to detail that Michael and Kristian employ is remarkable and it really shows why they command such a superlative reputation in Summer Hill, built around experience, passion and knowledge of the suburb. A great experience buying with Michael and his team; highly recommend Harris Tripp if you are buying or selling!

Outstanding Agent equates to Outstanding Result

Outstanding Agent equates to Outstanding Result

From the very beginning we knew selecting Michael and Kristian was the right choice. After the first open, and 3 days into campaign our house was SOLD that evening! The result achieved was far beyond our expectations. Michaels commitment in negotiations with bidding parties occurred till the late hours of Saturday evening. This demonstrated Michaels commitment to ensure an optimal outcome for both vendor and purchaser could be achieved. Thank you Michael for your professional, genuine and transparent approach. The experience we have had with you is truly one to be remembered.

Michael is a gentleman to deal with and up front. We entered into negotiations after the first Saturday open with transparent bidding between my self and another party. We had everything we needed to make it happen on the day thanks to his speed in his work. Would use personally to sell my own home.
