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.

We are very pleased to comment favourably on our experience with Mike Whelan of Drew Lindsay Sothebys Real Estate Bowral. Mike quickly understood our needs and resources as we sought a residential property after 35 years of farming. His own background as a farmer and wide experience across residential as well as rural real estate was invaluable as he led us on our property search. It was a long and arduous process, eased by Mike’s careful selection of stock from the Drew Lindsay SIR portfolio as well as some from other agencies, so much so that every property inspected presented as a very real prospect, saving us much time and many hours of travel. We were also impressed by the standard of his research and the information he was able to provide in answer to our questions. Nothing was a trouble at any hour. When it came to negotiate, Mike communicated clearly and navigated our need for a prolonged settlement and a sale for his vendor with skill and aplomb. Though unwavering in his commitment to the vendors, his firm encouragement and patience with us in our negotiations eased a difficult process. Following a successful settlement we have been appreciative of Mike’s attentive follow up as the inevitable questions have arisen, as well as the comprehensive property and local information kit he presented to us at handover. Drawing on his wide knowledge of the local farming scene he has also been very helpful to us as we sought agistment opportunities and help in the acquisition of livestock in preparation for continuity in our farming business albeit on a very much smaller scale. These “over and above” touches as well as his assured professionalism throughout have made the experience of a major move as smooth as possible and we have no hesitation in recommending Mike to vendors and purchasers alike, residential or rural, as an agent of choice in the Southern Highlands.

I had the pleasure of working with Mike, who truly knows the local area. Mike was always punctual, making the process smooth and stress-free. His deep knowledge of the rural market and the local community was invaluable in finding the perfect property. Mike is both professional and personable, making each interaction enjoyable. His dedication and attention to detail ensured an efficient transaction. I highly recommend Mike for his expertise, reliability, and friendly approach. He is a standout choice for anyone seeking property in this beautiful rural community.

When looking for an Agent to help me sell my property, I wanted someone who was non agressive, had my interests at heart, and recognised that the property had many special attributes. I can honestly say that Mike has fulfilled all those requirements. It has been a pleasure working with Mike to sell my home, and it's been a very positive experience. So thank you Mike

Mike Whelan was a real pleasure to work with throughout the sales process. He knew the answers to our questions and was always following up on all the issues that needed to be investigated. He made it easy for me to visit and inspect the property more than once and made sure he is available for the time I needed it. I would not hesitate to recommend Mike for his skills, knowledge and warm personality. A real pleasure to work with.

Mike Whelan is a great real estate agent. He was very helpful in guiding us through the various process and practicalities needed to get our property ready to go to market. During the sales process Mike diligently kept us up to date with how the property was being received. At no time did we feel pressured by Mike to take a particular course of action, rather, his conversations helped us to stay focused, whereby we were able to achieve our goal of selling our beloved property. I would highly recommend Mike Whelan as a reliable, hard working, approachable realtor.

Buying through Mike was an incredibly smooth and painless experience. He understood what we were looking for, was honest and realistic about price, and communicated well and without fuss or pressure. A great experience.
