From chaotic house to dream home and then successful sale

Michael was recommended by a friend who had used him. When we met him our house was in disarray with too much stuff for the two us with our adult children and 2 large dogs and a cat after being in our house for over 25 years. Unlike the other agent we met with, Michael was prepared to take responsibility for getting quotes from tradesmen and then coordinating all the work to prepare the house for sale. We gave him the keys and walked away. We had already purchased a home that was over an hour from Sydney and we would have struggled to organise this project ourselves. We were happy with the quotes Michael obtained, as they were lower than what we had received, and Michael knew all the trades people from work on previous homes. They did a fabulous job and our house looked so much more presentable than before, with a lovely paint job throughout, polished floorboards and lots of minor maintenance jobs fixed. This all happened while we settled into our new home far away. Other agents had offered to help us get quotes but only Michael and his team offered to take full responsibility for the project management and only consult us when decisions needed to be made. When the house went on sale there was a lot of interest and Michael negotiated a good price for us prior to auction and with a couple who agreed to a short settlement. From the day we moved out and left a neglected house behind us, to the day we settled and paid off our bridging finance was exactly 10 weeks. This was an impressive achievement by Michael and his team, including Josh Elliott, who did a lot of the foot work. We are very grateful to them.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure to help transform your home from its "chaotic" state to a dream home ready for sale. I'm glad to hear that our approach to managing everything from coordinating tradesmen to overseeing the transformation worked well for you. It’s wonderful to know that you were pleased with the quotes and the quality of the work done. I particularly enjoyed working with you and was more than happy to take on the responsibility so you could settle into your new home without added stress. It’s always rewarding to see a project come together nicely, and I'm thrilled that we could achieve such a successful sale for you in just 10 weeks. I’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to Josh Elliott and the rest of the team who worked hard to make everything run smoothly. If you ever need assistance in the future, don't hesitate to reach out. Wishing you all the best in your new home! Thank you, Michael
