“There was an Agent in Mangere Bridge,
Who sold houses from water to ridge,
Her local knowledge and expertise,
Ensured her ability for all to please.

With her enthusiasm she’s up with the lark,
Leaving her competitor well in the dark,
So if results are what you require,
Be you a seller or perhaps a buyer,
Enlist her services you’ll not regret it,
Your Home or price, Michele, will get it”.

Dear Michele and Damon
I just want to express my gratitude to you both for selling my home for me. The wonderful sensitivity, kindness and consideration you extended during this stressful time. The speed with which you concluded the sale, found the right buyer, with a price I am more than happy with – all done with the minimum of fuss, and no added stress to me – has left me breathless.
I will always recommend you most highly to anyone that is looking to sell their home/property and especially if that person is a widow or a person on their own with no experience whatsoever in this area. I wish you all the very best and may you continue to be successful in your field, you certainly deserve to be.
With kindest regards, Makita Kaye

Maureen was very obliging from the start, staying in constant contact. I met with Maureen at her office in Mangere bridge, she had the property up on her website and gave tips on how we should present mums house and the very next day we had potential buyers viewing mums property.
Within 10 days my mum’s house was sold at a price that pleased her.
Not only was Maureen and her team courteous and mindful of our needs, their business etiquette and professionalism is faultless.

This letter is to acknowledge the dfforts of Michele Farnham and her staff at Mangere Bridge Realty. We had listed our home with another company ***&*** they had listed our property for a period of 5 months. During that time they were amenable and professional but we found that they concentrated their efforts on the real-estate agent, not the  vendor. Paying exorbitant fees for advertising, we spent  $1000.00  +  but our house did not sell.
When I spoke to Michele Farnham I felt at ease, the first question I asked was how much was the advertising, she said “Don’t worry let me deal with that.” That is the way that I expected the advertising costs would be – in the agents fees.

Michele was completely focused, not on herself but on the job at hand. We would recommend her and her company to anybody considering selling their home. Her staff are the same, professional and focused and a pleasure to deal with.My lawyer recently and he said he dealt with Michele last year. He was very pleased with her and her professionalism. He would recommend her to anybody.

At the end of the day we are very happy vendors and would say to anybody selling their home to see Mangere Bridge Realty, they will see you right. The proof is definitely in the pudding. We are now off to Maraetai to a different phase in our lives and wish Michele and her team the very best.

The moment we sat down with Michele we knew she would sell our house based on her reassuring enthusiasm and overall positive attitude to bringing a buyer to us, despite our uncertainty with the market. A clear partnership was formed and after giving us a realistic price range on the value of our property, Michele presented 2 offers to us within 2 weeks and both were at the top end of the price range. It was abundantly clear that Michele works with a very committed team and collectively they demonstrated an enormous amount of energy, enthusiasm and desire to get the job done.
David and Elizabeth

Utilising the services of Michele Farnham for the sale of my home was a wise choice. The team under her direction were unfailingly efficient and polite. I felt secure in the realistic advice, market knowledge and integrity of Michele and her associates. There is an impressive cohesion between the agents and communication with me was well above my previous experience with agents. In the pursuit of “getting the business done” I strongly recommend employing Michele Farnham

We would like to say a huge thank you to Michele and Damon of Mangere Bridge realty -the service they have provided has been totally professional and the team work between these two ladies is out standing and definitely works!
We have felt part of the process all along and kept up to date with all activities. As a result we had a cash buyer with in 3 weeks and in a depressed market got the price we were looking for—So once again ladies  – Thank you and well done!!Garry and Pam McQuoid.

I would like to take this opportunity to convey my thanks to Michele Farnham of the Mangere Bridge office, for so effectively marketing and promoting my property. Michele’s endeavours resulted in her being able to present five or six offers within a week, all following two open homes over one weekend!!!

I know that the local market is very buoyant at the moment, but with Michele’s advice on how to present the home coupled with her enthusiasm and integrity I believe she exceeded my expectations in every way, resulting in a variation in offers of over $25,000. She has kept me informed with every development both large and small, as the purchaser went through that harrowing time of confirming their finance and setting up the deal at their end, thus leaving me in the ‘loop’ and for this I am grateful.

Like many people, over the years I have bought and sold a number of homes, and I must sadly say that as a result of my experiences my opinion of Real Estate sales people has not been high, but with one sale Michele has done much to rectify that.

With reference to the above comment regarding my opinions of real estate salespeople, I have always been resentful of the fees paid for what I have often felt what has turned out to be an inadequate and unprofessional service, but certainly not in this case. On this occasion, I felt that the fees paid (as agreed at the outset of the arrangement) were well earned and perhaps more importantly (regarding above comment regarding inadequate and unprofessional service) well deserved, I guess one could say, a painless extraction!

I must say it has been a pleasure engaging Michele’s services, and I would have no hesitation in recommending Michele Farnham to anyone. Well done !!! Graeme Cummins

Having previously used Michele Farnham’s real estate services we had no hesitation in contacting her and the team at Mangere Bridge Realty Ltd for the sale of my mother’s home in McIntyre Rd, Mangere Bridge. At all times the service we received was very professional, friendly and with exceptional communication. The home sold during a time of a very depressed market due to commitment and hard work. We had total confidence in the team and totally relied on their advice. I have no hesitation in recommending Michele and the team at Mangere Bridge Realty Ltd to anyone seeking an honest reliable and first class real estate business.
Yours sincerely, Catherine Ryan

We have lived in Mangere Bridge for 8 years and had owned our home for 2 years. As first home buyers we had never before been through selling a property. Michele made the process simple, easy and stress free. She communicates well, answered all our questions and kept us informed throughout while still maintaining a pleasant, friendly and professional manner. We appreciate very much her commitment to helping us reach an agreeable quick settlement and it is with high regard that we would recommend her to anyone.

Since being given the responsibility of disposing  of our late sisters home in
Mangere Bridge, my brother and I consulted 3 different estate agents for their appraisals of the property. Michele Farnhams presentation and marketing strategy outline was by far the best of the three, so we decided that Michele was the logical person to market the property.

In a very difficult marketing situation bought about by the Auckland housing down-turn, Michele and her colleague Damon spared no effort to ensure we obtained the best possible price for the property, and at all times were in constant consultation with us on every aspect of the marketing process.

For their professional approach, tireless effort and enthusiasm, one cannot go past Michele and Damon for working in the best interests of their clients. Dealing with these ladies has been a great pleasure and I would recommend their services to anyone buying or selling property.
Yours Sincerely, Warren Knight

I was a first time home buyer and through what was a stressful time was eased with the professional and expert approach from The Mangere Bridge Realty. This strong all women team are well known and respected in the Mangere Bridge community by both sellers and buyers, and through my personal experience I can see why.

Michelle Farnham’s reputation is well deserved and I witnessed first hand her sincere and honest nature. She is true to her word and was only too willing to answer every little question common of a first time home buyer. Michelle kept me informed throughout the whole process and continued to demonstrate and show her wealth of knowledge and experience in the industry.

Damon offers a cheerful and positive outlook and is so refreshing in what could be a tense and stressful atmosphere. She is a genuine person who smiles with her heart. Michelle and Damon are a remarkable team and it is with high regard that I recommend them both to you.
Thank-you both for helping me to ‘live the dream’ in Mangere Bridge

When we decided to sell our home at Mangere Bridge to relocate to Pukekohe, we chose Michele Farnham to market and present our home. The home that we had built and lived in for the past 44 years.  We felt with Michele living in Mangere Bridge that this would be a huge advantage in marketing our family home.

Michele projected a high degree of professionalism and was well equipped to negotiate a successful deal for us. Michele keeps in contact with us, which we appreciate very much.

Dear Buyer / Seller, I recently sold my house at a time when the market was taking a bit of a downward turn. Fortunately for me, Michele and Damon proved to be very much on top of things every step of the way.  I was kept in the loop in all aspects of the sale. Michele and Damon sold my property with efficiency professionalism and courtesy.  It is for this reason that I would not hesitate to recommend them. Mangere Bridge Realty is a breath of fresh air.  I wish them well in all future endeavours…

We would like to thank you for your help in selling our house recently. I don’t suppose it is very often that you sell a house in five days, and in our case it made the difference between purchasing our ideal house or watching someone else purchase it. We are very grateful for your energy and enthusiasm in marketing our house. We sat back and watched you use different methods of letting as many people know about our house in as short time as possible. It was also invaluable to have your experience and advice in our own efforts to present the property.

Michele Farnham has assisted both my husband and I and members of our family to successfully conclude several property transactions over the last ten years in Mangere Bridge; the last being in Shortt Avenue. Michele has always been very professional and ethical in our dealings and has gone the extra mile to ensure the best possible result.

I feel Michele’s long experience with Mangere Bridge properties coupled with depth of local knowledge and extensive contacts offers both sellers and buyers a distinct advantage.I would have no hesitation in recommending her and would be happy to be contacted should you desire.
