Julie Walford

The experience dealing with Michael and Julie has been very positive. Communication has throughout been excellent, very immediate and explanatory. We’ve enjoyed the more gentle, honest and non-pushy (for want of a better word!) service from Michael. Will most certainly recommend to others and use again in the future if/when needed.

We already knew how efficient and communicative you and Michael are from when we purchased the house through you. We did not even give a second thought to using someone else for the house sale as your reputation in the area is second to none and of course our own experience of it. I sincerely believe our house sale would not have happened without Michaels experience in what he does and his believability as a straight shooter and totally honest person. Thank you both so much for your efforts, they are very much appreciated.

Julie Walford was very helpful and fast with enquiries. She went out of her way to make sure everything was in order. Very pleasant to deal with, we enjoyed the pre-settlement inspection with her, a very nice person. We would recommend Far North Coastal Real Estate as our number one choice, they make good ambassadors to the gateway of Mangonui

Last three months have been some of the most pressured in our lives with an International move during covid - nightmarish, a tight housing market, pet-friendly furnished rental accommodation virtually non-existent ... etc. A few houses 'would do' but they didn't make our hearts sing. They weren't a good fit. Michael, your patience and professionalism (with good knowledge of the properties, quick response to questions and consistent positiveness about the vendors) combined with a gentle, non-pushy approach (and sense of humour popping out now and then) made for a relaxed and trusting relationship. We felt safe with you. Julie, your quiet, super-efficient admin and support is superb. Both of you are great at setting others up to succeed, sharing useful contacts with people new to the area. Very appreciated. All worked 100% for us.

Team Michael, you have exceeded all my expectations and confirm the testimonials of those in your profile. You made my journey so easy with your knowledge, expertise and respect. Communication was outstanding. You have proved to be a caring and thoughtful team and I will always be thankful and share my experience with others. You truly are a class act and our community is so fortunate in having you work for us. Thank you all once again.

Thank you to you and Michael for making the transaction go so smoothly. We are very grateful and happy purchasers. The reasons that we held your agency and Michael in such high esteems arises from: - prompt, honest and thorough answers to questions posed - good communication throughout the transaction right from the start, during and then closer to settlement with reminders of things such as insurances and important dates - as foreign purchasers, we were a little unsure of ourselves and had experienced other agents effectively dismiss our interest in their properties. In contrast, Michael had an open mind and didn't come with any of those prejudices or beliefs that we were likely to be tyre-kickers. - all of the contacts that Michael provided have been exceptional. In turn, everyone that we worked with spoke in glowing terms of his skills and work ethic. Thank you again for your effort and assistance.

Michael was absolutely marvellous. He kept us informed of what was happening and we could contact him anytime. The office manager Julie we thank too for her part in writing up the list of extra chattels. We have already told people about the ease of how everything went and will continue to do so.

Our Trustees would like thank you for your excellent service in selling the property. Everything from the initial visit to the listing and finding a purchaser was absolutely top notch. We realise with having to deal with 4 different people spread throughout the country as well as overseas make things more difficult but all was handled exceptionally well. Far North Coastal Real Estate did meet our expectations in fact exceeded them with the speed of the sale. We would recommend your services to people seeking real estate assistance

Considering we were on the ‘other side of the fence’ you guys were awesome Julie. We really enjoyed dealing with Michael too, very open and honest.

I can only say that you both exceeded our expectations dealing with you both. As I had mentioned to Michael the first time I met him - we had found it so difficult just to get a return call or email from any other agent. So thank you both for everything.

Michael and his team helped us with our purchase of our property at Doubtless Bay. At all times they were friendly, informative and their communication with us throughout the transaction was excellent. We would not hesitate in recommending Michael Healy and Far North Coastal Real Estate to represent you whether you are purchasing or selling a property.

Michael and Julie made the purchase process easy and low-stress for us. Given that we were not local buyers, their flexibility to accommodate the timeframe of our visit to Doubtless Bay was most appreciated, as was their assistance in putting together our offer remotely. Their professionalism and communication is second to none and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing a successful real estate outcome.

"We really enjoyed the sales process with Michael and with the office support. We saw the listing while looking on the internet – we were coming up to Coopers to look at the apartments for sale in Cable Bay which we had seen in the real-estate pull out from the Herald on Friday and were looking to see if we could see anything else while we were up there. Really appreciated the communication – everyone let everyone know what was going on in a timely manner – I think communication is so key in any transaction Michael and his team always let us know what was going on which was great. The office support also made us feel part of the ‘triangle’ of buyer agent and seller which was great – we have only bought three properties in our life so did not know what we were doing but you certainly helped us through the process in a professional and friendly way. Michael was also very honest and open about the property and helpful in putting us on to a local engineer, and providing contact details for the ‘neighbours’ and the holiday let managers."
