Testimonials

Michele Barnao was the real estate agent on a multi-unit property I recently purchased in Palmerston North. Michele provided me with all the information I requested in a timely manner.

Michele was readily available to meet my team at the property, which was very important as I don't live in Palmerston North. Michele was always available to talk and kept me updated throughout the process. This allowed the sale to be completed over a short period for a multi - unit purchase.

I would highly recommend Michele to anyone looking for a real estate agent to either sell or purchase a property in Palmerston North.

 Michele transacted a sale for us recently on a block of investment flats. A challenge in many ways especially as there was so much more work involved in dealing with multiple properties such as tenants, access to complete due diligence and viewings.

We were presented with multiple offers (again requires extra work) and the properties sold within a short timeframe.

Thank you Michele, we appreciate your professionalism, expertise and communication.

I found Michele easy to deal with. She communicated well through text and coming to my home. She communicated well with my solicitor through out the process. She appeared to have good knowledge of the market and was always professional.

Michele was very helpful, explaining ins and outs of property really well and very supportive in the buying process. Michele and the team made our moving date work, which we are thankful for. Resulting in a quick sale.

I am so grateful to have had Michele as my real estate agent during the process of purchasing my new home. From the very beginning, Michele was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to my needs. She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and provided expert guidance throughout every step of the process. Her communication was always prompt, and she ensured I was well-informed and confident in my decisions. What truly stood out was her dedication to finding the perfect home for me. She went above and beyond, answering all my questions and negotiating in my best interest. I never felt rushed or pressured, and her advice was always thoughtful and genuine. Thanks to Michele, the home-buying experience was smooth, stress-free, and ultimately a success. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and dedicated real estate agent!

Michele Barnao has been fantastic throughout the process. Selling a property is stressful, especially in our position. I am extremely thankful we entrusted this job to a professional who has been in the industry for many years. Michele was knowledgeable, advised and guided us, took charge, and got the place sold.

We have no hesitation in recommending Michele to anyone wanting or needing to sell their property.

Jo and Paula

Michele Barnao successfully listed and marketed our property.   We very much appreciated her advice and 25 years experience in the Real Estate industry.  We took onboard many of her ideas to present the property in its best light.  She was an excellent communicator throughout the selling period and we were kept fully appraised of progress and potential buyers.  It sold quickly and we were very pleased with the outcome.   We would have no hesitation in recommending Michele and would certainly use her again.

I found Michele Barnao to be friendly, professional and most of all for me not pushy.

Michele kept me informed in every aspect of the marketing and bidding process. She was on the end of the phone to answer any of my queries even on weekend and when she was on leave. I would recommend Michele to any potential clients. This is the second property that Michele has sold for me in Palmerston North.

 Michele has been great through the whole process of buying a house. She is great at communicating, regularly asking for updates and keeping her finger on the pulse.

She has been very accommodating offering to let us see the house outside of open home times and to get quotes done. Also had no issues getting building inspectors through. She is open and upfront giving us access to all the information she had and offering advice. She has good banter too and doesn't mind having a laugh.

We would be happy to deal with her again in the future. Thanks Michele.
