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

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!

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.

Michael and Kristian were great to work with for the sale of our home. Michael was always calm and friendly and communicated with us seamlessly. They made a very stressful process much easier and they also got us a great sale result!

Resilient and persistent

All the stats can prove Michael is the top sales agent in Summer Hill. When it comes to my property, the situation has been very difficult given the rampant rise of interest rates plus general weakness in that part of the area. However Michael has no complaint and worked tirelessly with me over the last 12 months to get the deal done. It eventually happened at the right time. A good agent should not just be defined by the top price he/she could fetch. If you want to have the confidence that the agent is doing everything he/she can for your best interest, you should use Michael's service.

I can’t thank Michael enough for a smooth and professional sale. His communication was excellent, I felt well supported and his advice was accurate. To sell without auction or advertising was high on my agenda and he delivered.
