Here is what some of Michael's clients have to say -

Thankyou Michael. The level of professionalism you showed throughout our business transactions was beyond compare and I greatly appreciate your personal, no nonsense approach.
My partner and I have been involved in the purchase and sale of several properties and your attention to detail and level of consistent follow up was the best we have dealt with bar none.

Justin Browne
Caringbah

As I was a real estate agent myself, I had a very high standard to what I was looking for in an agent to sell my own property. After meeting with several in the area, I found Michael to be the most experienced, honest and focused on getting the best possible result.
It was a very stressful time for me; Michael did everything he could to make it a smooth transition with great ease and professionalism. His expertise and efficiency gave me utter trust in him and brought a great result on Auction day.

Rose Ilett
Caringbah South

Richard and I would like you to know how happy we are with the care, service and attention to detail that you gave us during and after the sale of our house. Our sincere thanks, Michael.
In short, you were everything that we were looking for in an estate agent and everything we believe a good agent should be.

Ruth and Richard Wolfson
Dolans Bay

Our decision to appoint Michael proved to be the right one. His positive energy, enthusiasm and personal attention to detail from start to finish took much of the stress out of the whole process. His regular detailed feedback, observations and discussions kept us informed every step of the way. We informed him at the outset of our tight time frame, and within weeks he had successfully identified a buyer and secured the deal at a price we were very happy with.
We found Michael to be honest, hardworking, skilled and pro-active. If you are considering selling your property, you could not do any better than to appoint him as your agent.

Mrs G McRae & Mrs M Bowyer
Cronulla

On deciding to sell, in spite of never previously having a relationship with Michael, we immediately considered him the best person to handle our sale.
The sale was a tad unusual in that my wife and I dined after the auction with the purchasers, which gave me an opportunity to gain a view on Michael’s professionalism from a buyer’s viewpoint.
The purchasers gave Michael a glowing report.
From my wife’s and my viewpoint, Michael will in future handle all of our real estate needs. We find him honest and the ideal person to represent our property as we know he will be genuine in all negotiations.
In summing up, Michael Larkings is everything you want from a real estate agent but rarely do you get.

Glenn Robbins
South Cronulla

Your high level of professionalism and salesmanship was most evident on auction night which proved very critical for the eventual sale. Certainly the foundation for this success was laid down with the advantage a very well structured auction marketing campaign and close communication with both vendors and interested parties.
Michael, it is always pleasing to see both happy and excited sellers and buyers at the conclusion of a successful auction.
Well done and best wishes.

Alan Ross
Auctioneer

Our property was not an easy one to market due to its age and land size, I was therefore impressed by the enthusiasm and effort that Michael brought to the project. At all times he kept me informed and gave me honest and reliable feedback, and I am aware of the hours that were put into finding the right buyer.
I have no hesitation in recommending Michael to any friends and contacts with property to sell in the shire.

James French
Caringbah South

Michael, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all that you did regarding the sale of my family home.
From the outset, you were most professional and always approachable in any dealings. You appreciated the sensitive and emotional aspect of this sale and were most considerate at all times.
Your friendliness and professionalism are a credit to you.

Jane Blomkamp
Dolans Bay

The professional manner in the marketing and sale of our property by Michael Larkings was both noteworthy and highly commendable.
He was very keen in securing the listing for a period of time and during this period show tenacity, patience and innovation. He suggested creative marketing strategies to further extend our chances of selling in a rather deflated and highly competitive market and , most importantly for us, he was always true to his word.
The entire marketing process was proactive, engendering a feeling of confidence in us. The end result was a very successful outcome which enabled us to move forward when we needed to.

Michael P Shea & Agnes Shea
Caringbah South

The agent for the sale of my late father’s home in Lilli Pilli was Michael Larkings, who was recommended to me by word of mouth, from a neighbour of my Dad’s. Selling my family home was a difficult and emotional decision for me to have to make, especially coinciding with the sale of my own home and moving interstate. Michael understood my time constraints and worked with me through the auction process, making sure that I understood and was comfortable with the process, every step of the way. His feedback was timely and detailed and I never had to try to track him down to find out what was happening, as had been my experience with others in the past. He offered advice without ever becoming pushy, listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. He was at all times courteous and highly professional. Michael has both changed my perception and restored my faith in Estate Agents. The price of sale at auction well exceeded my expectations and is entirely attributable to Michael’s marketing approach.

Following the recent sale of our deceased mother’s property in Caringbah, we are happy to provide a letter of reference for our representative Michael Larkings.
From our first initial meeting to the final exchange of contracts, Michael has been extraordinarily helpful and positive. He kept us constantly updated and gave regular feedback over the phone to my sister and myself as we both live on the north coast.
After listing the property with another local agent for a period of seven months with no offers, we were keen to try a new agent but did not hope to get a sale as soon as we did. The villa sold at the price we wanted in a period of three weeks.

Carol Hodgkinson, Tuncurry & Joan Empson, Tweed Heads

The decision to sell our family home was a very tough one, and friends had given us Michael’s card and suggested we call him.
Michael held our hand right through the whole process and made it a lot easier.
At Auction we were amazed at the turn out, and our property sold for $40,000 above the reserve price.
We were delighted, and are sure that the result was driven by Michael and his ability to secure buyer interest at a premium price.

Julie and George Malandin
Gymea Bay

When we finally decided to have a lifestyle change and sell our home, we decided to call several Real Estate companies to assist us and to select the one who would best suit the sale of our home.
We had visited many houses ‘For Sale’ over the months leading up to our eventual sale and thought back to who we liked, and who presented the properties the best.
Our choice was based on the stand out professionalism and the impression of likeable, calm confidence Michael Larkings left on us.
His selling strategy and negotiating skills were so effective that our home sold in three days at our asking price.

Steve and Cherie Muller
Grays Point

Dear Michael,

Well it has all come to fruition, settlement on Caringbah on Wednesday, and then Canberra on Friday. I am still coming to terms with the speed at which this has all taken place!
Going back to our first meeting, when I explained the circumstances of two 83 year olds moving from the only home they had occupied in their married life to become our next door neighbours in Canberra, you immediately set my mind at rest.
After you left, I said to Jack and Freda “you can trust this man” and thank you for proving me correct.
Should the occasion arise, do not hesitate to give prospective clients our phone number or my email address. We would love to recommend you to them.

Jim Swift
ACT

It is important to understand how we came to pick Michael. We were not concerned about commission; we were concerned that in a slow market, we needed to concentrate on other features that would attract the purchasers. We opted for a well presented advertising campaign and good old customer service. We met Michael at an open home for another property. He impressed us as potential purchasers to be someone that was genuine and focused on the property he was selling. As a vendor, that was who we wanted to represent us. The decision was easy and it paid off !
We are happy to provide further information on Michael if required.

Grant and Megan Taylor
Caringbah

Both Tanya and I found you a pleasure to do business with. You always displayed a professional approach to your job and were always willing to help and go the ‘extra mile’ where needed.
You definitely made buying our new home and selling our unit a lot easier than what is first seemed.

Jason McGovern and Tanya Wuttke
Woolooware

We had dealings with other agents but were impressed with Michael's friendly and professional attitude the moment he walked in. Nothing was a trouble to him and at no stage was any pressure put on us regarding price or inspection. We are VERY happy sellers.

Geoff and Elaine Turnbull
Gymea

I have never trusted real estate people until now ! When I had to organise a family deceased estate sale, my first agent said that he could do this and that. Wrong! He did not. A friend who sold through Michael suggested I talk to him, and I am very glad he did. The best offer the first agent could get for me was not even close to what Michael got for me at Auction. Thankyou Michael.

Kevin Lombe

I feel compelled to write this letter of reference due to the high quality of service we were shown by Michael Larkings .
I intend to appoint Michael as our agent on any property dealings we may have in the future, as it has been a very refreshing experience to find an agent with such integrity and honesty.

George Santos
Sylvania Waters

I just wanted to thank you from myself and my mother for your efforts and great result in the sale of my Grandfather's property.
It's been a very hard time for my mother and your empathy, professionalism and genuine kindness made the task much easier.
The result that was obtained was one well above what we had expected or hoped for, and we thank you for your tireless efforts.

Donna Bonus
Caringbah South

Michael exceeded our highest hopes; we were amazed at how hard he was willing to work on our behalf. He showed himself to be highly ethical and professional, and although we were only one of many clients, we always felt we were receiving personal attention.

Garry and Angie Middlemiess
Sylvania

I was delighted with the wonderful result achieved at auction which was at the very top end of our expectations. I believe the exceptional result was due in the main to your hard work in marketing the property and to your professional, honest approach.

Mrs K W Frazer
Caringbah South

We pursued our agent, Michael Larkings, from an 'Open House' we inspected over five years ago. We were aways impressed with his manner and are extremely happy with the results of his negotiations on our behalf, achieving a great sale for us at our asking price.
