Mike Whelan

Mike was totally accesssible and had a very endearing manner.

Mike came to us highly recommended by a neighbour in Berrima whose house he had just sold for them. However, before finally choosing an agent we obtained cost and sale strategies from 2 other agents. We are impressed by Mike’s candid and professional approach to selling the property, which we were handling on behalf of the elderly owners who were now in an aged care facility. After the reference from our neighbour and being impressed by the sale strategy, we engaged Mike at Drew Lindsay/Sotheby’s to manage the sale for us. Mike understood our rather unusual circumstances and tailored the sale strategy to suit. Mike is a strong communicator, starting from being a good listener; we quickly established a rapport. Over the past few years, the market in Berrima has been very slow with up to 12 homes on the market at any one time. Responding to these conditions Mike opened the property for regular weekend inspections and suggested a variety of marketing campaigns, including targeting key market demographics, individual clients on the firm’s books and sale price revision. Mike always called us to provide feedback after the weekend inspections and special openings for other clients. We always felt that Mike managed the sale strategy in our interest and took particular care to keep us informed at all stages of the sale. We happily renewed the sales agreement with Drew Lindsay on two occasions. Mike is a highly skilled, experienced, professional and trustworthy individual who we can recommend wholeheartedly to other clients.

He was courteous, reliable, honest, punctual, and an easy communicator. He was also a good baby-sitter for the purchaser's child!

From the outset, I made it clear to Mike that I needed a straightforward, no-nonsense service due to my busy schedule. He delivered exactly that—efficient communication, no unnecessary delays, and genuinely helpful guidance. Despite a few unexpected delays on my end, Mike managed the situation smoothly for all parties and ultimately helped secure the deal. I’m very pleased with his service and support throughout the process.

Extremely helpful in searching for the property that ticked all our boxes

Mike Whelan has recently helped me through a challenging sale of a rural property. He went above and beyond the call of duty on so many occasions and issues, and gave me support and confidence which proved crucial to the sale going through. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
