Michael’s rise in Christchurch real estate has been swift. In his very first year, he ranked among the group's top agents and is now placed in the top 3% of Ray White agents internationally.

Within five years, Michael became the top real estate salesperson in the group and owner of Ray White Addington, the largest Ray White office in the South Island. Today, he is recognised as one of the best real estate agents in Christchurch, mentoring and leading the next generation of agents.

Michael is a born and bred Cantabrian and is well connected in the Christchurch community. He has a very impressive background and brings a fantastic energy to the team.

A former professional rugby player, Michael represented New Zealand and played internationally, balancing the demands of sport with his strong academic focus. In 2016, he was admitted to the Bar as an enrolled Barrister and Solicitor of the High Court, specialising in litigation with a focus on Criminal and Employment law. While he thrived in the legal profession, Michael discovered his true passion lay in real estate, where he could connect with people face-to-face, build genuine relationships, and deliver results. This blend of discipline, negotiation skill, and empathy has helped him become one of the most trusted and sought-after real estate agents in Christchurch.

Michael also worked in banking throughout his undergraduate studies and in the later years of his rugby career also obtained a qualification in Computer Programming specialising in coding languages associated with website building.

Michael is passionate, caring and driven in everything he takes on. His competitive nature has him tirelessly pursuing the absolute best outcomes for his family, friends and clients in every single way.

One of the most driven individuals you will ever meet.

Testimonials

Hayden Leech

"Michael came highly recommended and exceeded my expectations. He was amazing to deal with, very kind and friendly, and never felt overbearing or pushy as a lot of top agents are in my experience. He’s found the perfect way to be a top agent without, excuse the language, being a dick, which is exactly what I was hoping for. Even the little touches like the brief weekly updates being in person and not just a phone call or email really shows his commitment to the seller"

Nikki Dent

"Very hard working, clear, up front, and knowledgeable. We couldn't be happier, especially seeing the sale went well in the end"
