Success Realty Ltd, Bayleys,Licensed under the REA Act 2008

Michael is a results-driven, well-established industry professional with an enviable track record of successfully marketing and selling property within the residential and lifestyle markets throughout the Waikato. Working with a premium brand such as Bayleys has allowed Michael to work with clients at all levels - from investment grade to multi-million dollar homes.

What sets Michael apart is his ability to offer outside-the-box strategies to get your property sold regardless of market conditions. Combining tailor-made marketing solutions with a highly skilled approach to negotiation, Michael works exclusively in the best interests of his clients - ensuring every transaction is handled with precision, integrity, and a relentless focus on results.

With a background of over a decade in property development, he has designed, built and managed a number of multi-million dollar properties across both the commercial and residential markets. Having worked on the flipside of property sales, Michael has a thorough understanding of clients' needs and expectations. He brings a professional and transparent manner, and the fortitude to handle all levels of property transactions - always prepared to demonstrate the value of his services by achieving the best possible outcomes for his clients.

Michael's background in property development has equipped him with deep-seated knowledge of building regulations, project management, resource consents, architectural and landscape design, property values, and legislation - further strengthened by the fact that he is a qualified lawyer.

Customer service is central to the way Michael does business, an attitude reflected in his commitment to follow through and follow up with every client. He maintains close ties with those in the local property network, having fostered strong relationships built over many years in the industry. Michael has a firm grasp on the local property market, with the ability to foresee areas of future potential - insight he willingly shares with his clients to help them make informed decisions.

Before moving into property development, Michael worked for 16 winters as a top-level ski instructor, coach and manager — a career that honed his discipline, client focus and ability to perform under pressure. He lives in Cambridge with his two daughters who attend school in Hamilton.

Outside of real estate, Michael is a passionate golfer and proud member of the Tieke Golf Club in Tamahere. When not selling property, he enjoys spending time with family and friends, travel, cycling, golf and the outdoors.

I am delighted to share my experience working with Michael Parker as he successfully sold my home. From the initial consultation to the final closing, Michael demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and expertise, making the entire selling process seamless. Michael immediately impressed me with his in-depth knowledge of the local market and his strategic approach to pricing and marketing my property. He provided valuable insights and recommendations that ultimately led to the sale at a price that met my expectations. Throughout the entire process, Michael was always accessible and responsive, promptly addressing any concerns or questions I had. His attention to detail and proactive communication ensured that I was informed and confident every step of the way. Furthermore, Michael exhibited exceptional negotiation skills, advocating for my best interests and securing the best possible outcome for the sale of my home. His dedication and commitment to delivering results were evident from our first meeting to the successful closing. Thanks to Michael's hard work and dedication, selling my home was a rewarding experience. I am incredibly grateful for his professionalism, expertise, and unwavering support throughout the process. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Michael Parker to anyone looking to sell their property.

We used Michael to sell our Cambridge home, just as the market was flooded with sellers! Mike was realistic in setting expectations for sale price and worked hard to help us sell our home. He is communicative, honest and upfront. Having sold his house recently he had a good understanding of how it feels being the vendor, and we appreciated his empathetic approach. We would use Mike again and recommend him highly.

From the very first meeting, Michael Parker from Bayleys made what can be a stressful process feel completely effortless. His knowledge of the local market was second to none, and his advice on presentation and pricing gave me real confidence going in. I was thrilled when Michael secured a pre-auction sale at a price that well exceeded my expectations. His ability to generate strong buyer interest and negotiate with skill and professionalism was truly impressive - it was clear he had put in the work long before we ever got to that point. Michael was communicative, honest, and genuinely invested in getting the best outcome for me. I always felt like I was his top priority. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an agent who delivers outstanding results. Thank you, Michael.

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.

As a director of a property investment company owning a number of properties in Ngaruawhaia, I engaged Michael to sell down part of my portfolio. This comprised five properties ranging from two bedroom units to three bedroom homes on larger sections. Throughout 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.
