Michael is a highly experienced residential salesperson based at the Bayleys Remuera branch, bringing many years of expertise and a proven record of achieving better than expected results to every client interaction. After obtaining a degree in Commerce at the University of Auckland specialising in marketing and information systems, his career in real estate began at just 22, transitioning from an administrative role to top-performing sales positions, where he quickly distinguished himself as a skilled negotiator and dealmaker. Michael has achieved recognition at a national and international level, including being ranked a premier agent at another agency. His extensive background has equipped him with a deep understanding of property marketing, project sales and client relationship management.

Michael thrives on connecting with people, understanding their individual needs and crafting creative solutions that align with their goals. He has a particular flair for recognising a property’s potential, with a keen eye for aesthetics and interior presentation that helps homes reach their highest market value. This combination of listening, empathy and design awareness allows Michael to tailor strategies for every property, ensuring a bespoke approach rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

What sets Michael apart is his approachable, down-to-earth nature, informed by a diverse multicultural upbringing in New Zealand. He relates easily to clients from all walks of life and has a natural ability to understand both the practical and emotional aspects of a home sale. His listening skills enhance his negotiation capabilities, enabling him to identify common ground quickly and achieve results that satisfy all parties. Michael prioritises his clients’ needs above all else, ensuring that every decision and strategy is designed to maximise outcomes for them.

A lifelong learner, Michael remains at the forefront of industry trends and best practices, constantly refining his skills and knowledge. He specialises in central Auckland, an area he knows intimately. This local insight, combined with his extensive professional network through Bayleys, allows him to market properties effectively, connecting sellers with the right buyers and ensuring optimal results.

Outside of real estate, Michael is devoted to his family and community, actively supporting his children’s kindy and play centre and being a part of local cultural groups and events. His interests in spirituality, self-development and the occasional culinary ‘experiment’ bring balance and perspective to the high-energy world of property sales.

Every home Michael sells receives the same care and attention with a commitment to a personalised, tailored approach that achieves the best possible result for each client.
