Michael and his team were Exceptional to work with, Michael was extremely knowledgeable in his field and was so easy to approach for any questions i had through out the campaign..... 10/10 for Michael for leading his team and for making me a happy client :)
My wife and I recently embarked on the " near impossible" and went to market to find a 3 bedroom house, ready to live in, located in an ideal inner city location, before xmas and the list went on. After preparing for a process that was going to potentially take us on a 6-12 month journey; little did we know that it was going to take all of three weeks. We spoke to a few agents in our very short experience but there one was a clear "standout" agent. Michael from Hodges St Kilda was one of a few tasked to find us this "near perfect" property in a highly competitive space with very little stock at hand. What differentiated Michael to other agents was that he listened to us from day one and provided advice and consulted us before he tried "the sell". Michael actually encouraged us to talk to other agents and get as much information on the area as possible; knowing full well that it could very well result in us purchasing through one of his competitors. I am not one to believe in "karma" but if there was such a thing; the property "karma" gods where on Michael's side because he did the right thing and put us first. He was professional, approachable, knowledgeable and was able to deliver a service that was second to none. The end result was made easy with Michael, he delivered us a property that we could never have guessed we would secure in such an efficient, affordable and comfortable manner. If you had property to sell or you were looking to buy; Michael is "hands down" the person that I would recommend to take you on this journey.
Michael has now assisted my partner and I sell one of our investment properties with a sucessful result ! From the beginning of the campaign to the final signing I was kept in the loop and well informed each step of the way! Very happy with the end result! Thanks Towny!
Michael and Cristina have been absolutely fantastic from the beginning, making selling of my property extremely easy and stress free. Michael was approachable and informative from the beginning, giving me confidence to go onto the market, and achieved price far beyond my expectations before the auction day. He identified the strengths of my property instantly and set up a campaign strategy and timing, which worked perfectly for my apartment, and helped me with any queries and tasks i had along the way. I would definitely recommend Michael to anyone selling a property.
Michael took the angsiety out of the purchase or my first property. His has a wealth of knowledge to assist In every aspect of the purchasing process was very helpful. Highly recommended
On first inspecting our new home Michael & Cristina couldn't have been more helpful in detailing to us what was needed to successfully secure the property. After leaving, we dealt with Cristina, who went above and beyond in helping us become the successful bidders. No request was to big or too small and we felt very comfortable and confident that our settlement would be a smooth process. I can not rate Cristina's efforts highly enough.
With a professional, yet engaging manner, Michael Townsend made us to feel we were his only clients as he strived to - and achieved an excellent result for the sale of our home. Nothing was too much trouble for Michael and his team and we found his transparency throughout the campaign reassuring.
I recently purchased a property that Michael was selling. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, responsive and helpful. When I asked for a viewing outside scheduled open for inspection times he organised this quickly and efficiently. At all times he was quick to return calls and address any issues I raised. I would have no hesitation in recommending Michael to buyers and sellers.
We met with a few real estate agents prior to meeting Michael and his personable, realistic and honest approach to marketing our property was what made him stand out to the others. His communication was excellent and our property was only on the market just over two weeks resulting in a sale that exceeded our expectations. We also felt that by going with Hodges we received more exposure and premium marketing resources giving our property maximum exposure. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hodges and Michael to others considering selling a property.
