Incredible tenacity and negotiation skills

Incredible tenacity and negotiation skills

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you, Michael, for your efforts on the Summer Hill transaction we recently completed together. As the buyer's agent representing my 91 year old client, I had the pleasure of working alongside you on what was a particularly complex deal. Throughout the process, I found you to be effective, efficient, personable and highly strategic in your approach. Your communication was excellent from start to finish. You were always available, proactive, and on top of every moving part of the transaction. It was evident that you were willing to put in the extra work, often outside normal business hours, to keep momentum in the deal and ultimately achieve a successful outcome for your vendors. One of the things I appreciated most was your ability to balance strong vendor advocacy with a collaborative and solutions-focused approach to negotiation. That combination is not always easy to find. Your vendors, past, present and future, are fortunate to have you representing them, and it has been an absolute pleasure working with you. Here's to many more successful transactions together in the future. Warm regards, Katie Marsden Earth Property Buyers Agents 0418 797 701

Michael has an in-depth knowledge of Sydney’s Inner West property market and kept me abreast of shifting market dynamics. He has communicated regularly throughout the sale of my townhouse, brokered a settlement that works for both parties, and enabled a quick and smooth settlement process.

Michael leaves no stone unturned!

As a Buyer’s Agent I work with lots of Real Estate Agents throughout the inner west. Michael left nothing to chance to ensure a smooth transaction for our buyers and his owners including transacting late into Saturday. Personable, tenacious, contactable, thorough - exactly as needed. Thanks Michael!

Great communicator, both Josh and Michael felt like real people as opposed to the cliche. it was very easy to talk to both of them through out the process and didn't feel like I was being mislead during the experience. All in all for a first home buyer's experience it felt easy and suported.

An excellent communicator

We are thrilled to have sold our home of 33 years yesterday, through Michael Poynting of Harris Tripp Summer Hill. Michael has been a star agent on our behalf: professional, meticulous, enthusiastic and hard working. His market knowledge is considerable and reliable. Michael has been thorough and proactive from our very first meeting. He made very good suggestions for preparing our house for sale, always made with a solid understanding of the process we were undertaking for the first time in over three decades.Michael showed considerable communication and negotiation skills throughout our sale journey. His natural warmth and friendly personality, combined with his excellent real estate market knowledge, has made this momentous time in our lives a real delight.

A Smooth and Stress-Free Buying Experience

We recently purchased our family home and had an excellent experience working with Michael. From our first inspection through to contract exchange, Michael was friendly, professional, highly responsive and easy to deal with. He handled negotiations smoothly and efficiently, making what can sometimes feel like a stressful process, feel remarkably straightforward. Michael offers a genuine approach and worked hard to ensure a smooth outcome for both the buyers and vendors. Thank you Michael!

Michael and his team were incredibly professional and efficient.

We engaged Michael to sell our property as he was highly regarded in our local area and carried a great reputation. Despite a number of rate rises and other hurdles, him and his team managed to sell our property before auction at a great price within a few weeks. Consequently, this buyer decided to withdraw during our cooling off period which was stressful for us as owners, yet Michael provided the assurance and positivity we needed. Within two days, he had found a new buyer and we were more than happy with the result. I couldn’t recommend Michael, Josh & Andy enough. Thank you.

Good experience as purchaser

We purchased a property through this agent and had a very positive experience. He was highly communicative throughout the entire process and always responded to questions quickly. He was also very accommodating in arranging additional inspections and phone meetings with the owner when needed. All of our questions were answered thoroughly and professionally, which helped make the purchase process smooth and stress-free. We appreciated his knowledge of the area considering we are locals.

When experience matters

When experience matters

In a softer market, having the right agent with the experience and expertise to navigate changing buyer sentiment is crucial. We entrusted Michael and his team with the sale of our property and experienced firsthand the ups and downs of buyer engagement throughout the campaign. Their communication, market knowledge, and strategic approach gave us confidence every step of the way. Come auction day, it became clear just how important patience and experience are. Michael and his team had an exceptional ability to read the room, understand buyer behaviour, and know exactly when to step in and when to let the competition unfold naturally. Their auction strategy and negotiation skills ultimately helped us achieve the result we were hoping for. We would highly recommend Michael and his team to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and results-driven agent.

Michael came in at the stage of final negotiation and he conducted this meeting very professionally and respectfully making the potentially most stressful stage instead smooth. I am both impressed and grateful.
