It was Mary who first encouraged Mike T to try his hand at real estate and then to go out on his own, a decision neither regrets. “Mary is very astute and I’ve realised whenever I’ve ignored her advice it almost always turned out she was right and getting into the real estate industry was no different,” Mike T said. “We love our community and the work we do in it, it’s what gets us up in the morning”.

VALERIE W

“Due to a recent traumatic experience in my life, I was hesitant to jump in to the property market to buy a place as I had very little trust in people. I thought it would be like swimming with the sharks, but instead I swam with a dolphin, in the guise of Mike T! He was patient, kind, & understanding, & supported me through a few bumps through the buying process, but with his assistance, I managed to secure my dream home, in a secluded location that now brings me great joy, peace and happiness. I am most grateful to you Mr T for helping me to secure not only a beautiful house, but a fine home that I will share with my family & friends for many years to come. Thanks heaps Mike T!”

CONSTANCE G

“I was recommended to use Mike T by a friend as I was unsuccessful through two other major agencies for over a year to sell my home. Mike was a real gentleman and I am extremely pleased with his service and the way he cared for me. I am very grateful that he worked very hard to make the sale happen and he didn't give up as he promised me that he'll sell my home in this difficult market. He always followed up and promptly returned any query I had. I can't thank him enough as it was very important for me to sell so I could move into my new home. I am very happy with the price he achieved. I highly recommend Mike T to my family and friends and anyone thinking of selling.”
