We found Michelle very personable and professional. She kept us informed at all stages of the sale process and was very easy to work with. The sale was stress free and a smooth process from start to finish. Thanks again Michelle, appreciate the hard work.
Excellent communication with Michelle. Smooth and quick process
Michelle supported us throughout the process of selling our property. Nothing was ever to much trouble and her communication was perfect in that we received regular updates from her.
Local knowledge of the market and had a list of people to call as soon as it was listed. Without a doubt the property sold quickly because of the proactive response and commitment that was shown toward our property sale. All of Michael Robinsons staff that were involved were friendly and helpful and had everything organised prior to our first meeting. It turned out to be an easy choice choosing this real estate agent and one we would make again.
Michelle made the whole process of selling our property feel easy and straightforward. Communication was excellent, we were always kept updated and were well looked after throughout the process. Ben was also fantastic to work with and together they made the whole experience such a positive one. We were really happy with the outcome and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Michelle showed great resourcefulness through the sale process. There were several hurdles to be negotiated because of purchasers not being prepared and not funded. There were solicitors, who quite frankly showed no awareness of the real world, that Michelle had to coax through the process of preparing the contracts. At times, when the frustration was being all consuming, she showed how professional negotiators should manage their clients expectations for favorable outcomes. A job well done. My wife and I, thoroughly recommend Michelle for your real estate needs.
Michelle kept me updated at all times re open days and inspections and buyer feedback that helped me to tailor the home and it’s targeted price to the right purchaser
I want to express our gratitude to Michelle Cheney, Michael and Ben Robinson and the rest of the REF team. They were always communicative, professional and kind during the emotional sale of our Mum's home. At all times they worked with heart and integrity rather than a transactional mindset. They understand the local market and the importance of forming strong relationships with their clients. It is these reasons, among many others, that they have been operating in the Forbes market for decades. I would most definitely recommend them as your agent and I would happily work with them again.
We could not be more thrilled with the exceptional service we received from Michelle Cheney during the sale of our property. From our very first meeting, Michelle's professionalism, deep market knowledge, and strategic approach gave us complete confidence that we were in the best hands. She went above and beyond at every turn, keeping us informed with transparent communication, handling every detail flawlessly, and ultimately securing a fantastic result that exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and highly skilled real estate agent who truly delivers, we cannot recommend Michelle Cheney at Michael Robinson & Co enough!
I've dealt with Michelle before so was more than confident to leave the sale of my house in her hands. Michelle was very professional, attentive and promptly followed up on tasks asked of her. Michelle made my sale uncomplicated and stress-free. Many thanks!
