Michael has mastered that difficult balancing act of simultaneously being conscientious and laid back, which for us as first timers, took all the stress and emotion out of selling. He gave straight-forward advice and was systematic in how he approached the campaign - so much so that his description of potential buyers and selling price estimates were bang-on. Michael has the knowledge, experience and energy to be the go-to seller in the area.

Michael is an expert in the area. He knows the market very well and kept me informed during he selling process. Michael was able to secure the sales for me as soon as the covid lockdown restriction was eased straight away.

A natural communicator and down to earth personality. Made us feel like a valued, prospective buyer from the start.

Michael, thank you, thank you!!! We were so unsure whether or not to sell during such tough times but after selling within 2 weeks we are beyond happy! Your extensive knowledge of the area was obvious after our first discussion and you continued to make us feel confident with all our decisions thereafter. We appreciate the effort you put in to achieve the best result for us and are extremely grateful. We found your relaxed manner and easy communication an asset to us and presumably the other party during the whole experience. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking to sell. Thanks again! Vance and Leah

Michael had a good strategy which we reviewed and changed as COVID-19 change things. He was efficient and effectively sold my property for the price i was looking for.

Michael and McGrath Estate Agents fulfilled expectations from beginning to end of the selling campaign. He was helpful with renovation advice prior to advertising, provided guidance in relation to the advertising needs, knew the market well, and had interested buyers available to inspect the property. He had also recommended a conveyancing solicitor when I stated I wasn't enthused with my previous professional. Michael's suggested price range and price expectations were reasonable. He maintained communication throughout the campaign, providing phone updates after every weekend's inspection, appropriately gauged the level of interest, and when circumstances suddenly changed three days before the scheduled auction (with the introduction of a COVID lockdown), successfully arranged several offers from interested parties, the highest of which was successful, attaining a good sales result in a challenging climate. Thanks Michael.

Michael Townsend showed us exactly what you would wish for from a trusted real estate professional. Michael was able to take on our listing during a difficult time for our family and made more difficult due to the testing market conditions. He guided us through the process with complete consideration of our situation and the utmost professionalism. Besides his openness, he was able to always maintain our expectations and not only delivered on them, he delivered well above. He achieved a result for us that we truly believe couldn’t have been achieved by any other agent. We couldn’t recommend Michael highly enough. His knowledge is exceptional and his innate ability to connect on all levels is second to none.

I am a repeat customer of Michael's, first as a buyer and this time as a vendor. Michael is a natural leader and a born real estate agent. Working with Michael was a pleasure and he delivered wonderful results. He is patient, very client-centric, and I was always able to trust that he had my best interests at heart. I highly recommend Michael and would not entrust my property portfolio to anyone else.

This was our first experience selling a property. Michael is a good bloke and his communication was fantastic. He was happy to talk through any questions we had and the various decisions we had to make through the campaign.

Michael's excellent local knowledge, professionalism, and friendly and easy going manner, along with his persistence in tough market conditions, resulted in the successful sale of our house. Michael kept us well informed throughout the sale process and we valued his advice and guidance throughout.

We highly recommend Michael to anybody who is seriously considering selling their home. We have previously had a few agents walking through our house, but none of them impressed us as much as Michael. Exceptionally well-organised, very pleasant to work with, he had great knowledge of the market and offered us advice how to prepare our house for the maximum impact. Best of all, Michael knew how to attract the potential buyers and at the auction he achieved a brilliant result, exceeding all our expectations. He even helped us negotiate the purchase of our new home and we can't praise him enough for being such an outstanding professional. Thank you so much, Michael!

As a buyer I found the price negotiations business like with no unnecessary mucking about.
