Michael and the McGrath St.Kilda team were great to deal with in the purchase of our new home. We found them individually and collectively easy to work with, helpful and resourceful. We'd highley recommend others to work with Michael Townsend, Christine Ford and Christina Wills.
Michael Townsend and Cristina Wills sold my home at Auction for a massive $253K over my already healthy reserve!! I put this down to their local knowledge and marketing know-how combined with the time they take to build genuine trusting relationships. True to their words, the recommended campaign generated a massive buzz and Michael's auctioneering skills drove it home. I look forward to working with them again for my next move!
I first met Michael several years ago when I thought I was ready to sell my apartment. I found Michael to be personable and really interested in my situation. What I really rated about Michael during that time was his recognition of the seller's need to be ready and relationship management. After cooling off - Michael continued to touch base with me over the years and was happy to respond to any market questions that I had. Interestingly other agents who had contacted me at the time simply dropped off the radar. This year I was finally ready to sell and I felt that Michael was the only agent of choice for me. He gave me great advice in relation to launching a marketing campaign and was happy to respond to all of my questions in a quick and timely manner. I found the marketing campaign material to be quality and superior to competitors. I really appreciated that open for inspections were held 3 times a week (including Sat/Sun) - opening up opportunities for potential buyers to view my property. I liked the open and easy communication that flowed during this process. I was extremely happy that my property sold within 3 weeks of launching my marketing campaign. Michael made this first time process easy for me.
Michael Townsend and Josh Stirling and their team have sold two of our properties in two and a half years, both for exactly the same amount. Go figure. The last sale was $35K over the reserve and quite unexpected. Very clever our Michael T. I wouldn't entrust anyone else with the sale of the rest of our portfolio. Great work guys, Greg
Michael and Cristina thank you so much for selling my Toorak apartment in just two weeks and achieving a brilliant price. Your professionalism, market knowledge, guidance and recommendations were invaluable and minimised the stress of selling. Wishing you all the best. Bernadette Cheet
After being on the market for 9 weeks with another company and receiving no offers in that time, Michael re-launched our property and was able to sell it in under 10 days. The speed of sale wasn't the only positive though. The communication was first class and we felt really comfortable with Michael from start to finish. Highly recommend!
What a wonderful seemingly effortless campaign with an amazing result exceeding our expectations by $300,000. This was all due to Michael’s professionalism and unprecedented competence. His passionate knowledge in all areas pertaining to the marketing and sale of our home came to fruition delightfully. He gave 110% from the outset and all the way along the process. In the end a terrific result. Delighted with the result. We would highly recommend Michael to any prospective new client.
From the very first meeting with Michael & his colleague Cristina, I was impressed with their professionalism, friendliness and honesty. Michael's appraisal of my property was a realistic figure, with the end result being something within that price range. Michael & Cristina were in contact with me throughout the sales campaign on a regular basis, providing regular feedback and was kept 'in the loop'. Although the stress of selling your home is normal, I felt supported throughout the campaign and definitely on auction day. I have no hesitation in recommending Michael and his team @ McGrath St Kilda.
I had an excellent selling experience with Michael as my agent. I had a difficult time choosing between him and another local competing agent (after interviewing many disappointing agents last year). Michael proved authentic and knowledgable from the first interview, and he continued with this persona throughout the auction process. Michael was always reliable and appropriate with communication, which I appreciated with my busy lifestyle.
Extremely happy with the efforts and dedication Michael and his team delivered... We are first time sellers and couldn't be happier with drive, dedication and extra yards Michael did for us He went well above our expectations and I would be certainly recommending his services to anyone
Michael has shown us through a number of properties, we have always found him honest, reliable and very hardworking. We are yet to find something, but we're sure Michael will find us our dream home soon!
Michael and Cristina were fantastic to work with and they supported me throughout the entire sale process. I found them to be professional and very genuine in their approach, and I was always kept well informed about how the campaign was progressing. I'm very pleased with the sale of my apartment and would highly recommend both Michael and Cristina to any other potential vendors.
