Testimonials

"This is the most rewarding and inspirational event of 2015, besides the impending birth of my baby in three weeks time. Thank you very much for your work, it was a pleasure doing business with you. - A Dumas As a director of a property investment company owning a number of properties in Ngaruawhaia, I engaged Michael to sell down part of the portfolio. This comprised four properties ranging from two bedroom units to three bedroom homes on larger sections. From the very first meeting with Michael we agreed on the approach and set out the expectations of each other. This early discussion set the tone for the entire process and provided significant benefits. As a result of setting out those expectations during negotiations with purchasers Michael knew exactly where I stood and always politely conveyed that to the purchasers. Throughout the process I found Michael to be very professional in working with all aspects of the process from working with the tenants through to negotiating effectively with the buyers. He had my best interests in mind and achieved a very good result. I’d have no hesitation in using Michael and Bayleys Real Estate in the future for my real estate needs and recommend any vendor that truly wants a real estate agent to work for them to engage Michael and Bayley’s services. - D Fabish - Director Michael sold our lifestyle block in Tamahere. We found Michael pleasant and professional. Our fully landscaped property was difficult to showcase in photo advertising and one had to allow extra time for clients to wander around and appreciate all aspects of it. Michael willingly allowed extra time for all open homes so that people did not feel rushed and could enjoy the experience. He was always punctual and well presented. We found feedback was detailed and informative and Michael was conscientious in his endeavour to achieve the best results to negotiate a satisfactory sale. He was always caring and considerate and we appreciated the effort he put in on our behalf. - - - P & R Wilson Michael s"
