Mike provided us with a high level of service when he assisted us with this purchase. Always friendly, and available to help answer queries, and faultless in following through with everything he said he’d do. Thanks again for your great work.
As a buyer, I found Michael approachable and easy to deal with. His running of the auction was good, and getting the deposit payment sorted and paperwork done was fast and efficient. He was accommodating in leaving the keys for cleaners, and left a nice little welcome package for us :) Missing a star because Michael did not get back to me during the week before the auction to answer a question I had asked during a scheduled inspection a week earlier (or at least tell me he'd tried but couldn't find the answer), so his service to me as a potential buyer was not as good as it could have been. There was also a costly problem with the hot water heater, which I only found out when I moved in to my new property and had no hot water - the pilot light wouldn't light, so I had to get a plumber round who ended up having to replace a part. ~$500 bucks added to the sale price :( While Michael had no obligation toward me, it would have been nice if he had checked with the vendors that all the basic utilities were functioning before settlement.
Michael Prentice has overseen the sale of our cottage in Rye in an efficient and professional manner that has achieved for us the price he advised would be acceptable to us, as well as being attractive to a prospective buyer. This sale was achieved promptly, dealing with us and prospective buyers in a courteous and caring way. Michael and the staff at Prentice Real Estate in Rye have been an absolute pleasure to deal with.
Michael was very helpful throughout the entire buying process. He had excellent local knowledge of the real estate market and was both courteous and helpful. I would highly recommend Michael.
The task of selling our weekend home was not taken lightly without making sure our home was in good hands with an agent who understood us as clients and importantly to find a buyer who had respect for the style of home we built almost 20 years ago. After some initial enquiries amongst Melbourne agents we were highly recommended to introduce ourselves to Michael Prentice from Prentice Real Estate at Rye. It’s without saying after meeting Michael Prentice and his team it was all smooth sailing from there on. Our home was sold within the expected time and price to a family who had been searching within the area for quite some time. We sincerely thank Michael and his team in how the whole sale process was handled. We strongly recommend the Prentice family to any vendor or buyer.
Professional, accurate & prompt evaluation coupled with boundless knowledge of the peninsula market all intergated in friendly & courteous demeanor. Would highly recommend Michael's services.
Michael's market knowledge, communication, and professionalism are first rate. Can't recommend him highly enough.
Michael is a delight to deal with. He has gone over and above to accommodate us arriving late to view the property and keeping us updated throughout the entire process of buying the property. We cannot speak highly enough of the experience dealing with Michael and his transparency throughout the whole experience. Michael and his agency were easy to get a hold of and were very prompt with all communication. Thanks again Michael, You made the whole experience of purchasing our property seamless and you were a delight to deal with.
Selling our holiday home was a very difficult emotional time for all of my family. Michael helped me considerably, always listening to me, keeping me up to date on how things were progressing and never asking me to make quick dicisions. We purchased the land through Prentice Real Estate in 1984 so I didn't think of any other firm when I was selling. I was pleasantly surprised with just how much Michael knew about the area when I first made contact with him in August regarding this sale.
Michael was friendly and helpful through the whole process. He was knowledgeable about the property and if he didn't know the answer was quick to to come back with an answer. Even during the offer process Michael was open and clear about our position and progress.
As a buyer I found Michael to be very professional, courteous and extremely helpful. If I ever need to sell my property on the Peninsula I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Michael to represent me. I would recommend him to any seller.
