"Michael's philosophy "make a difference" applies to every aspect of his life. Whether at work or being a father to his 4 adult children, he works hard to ensure his influence is a positive one. Integrity, a good work ethic and a results focus are all personal traits that he holds in the highest regard. Michael recently moved to New Zealand from the Gold Coast where he was working as a Group Manager for Gold Coast Publications, largely managing real estate advertising in their range of real estate publications. He has also worked as a production manager in the newspaper industry, a facilitator and advisor for potential and current small business operators, a marketing tutor and an account manager for an advertising agency. Such diverse experience has given Michael excellent interpersonal skills, the ability to provide quality service and to deliver positive outcomes for his clients. His communication style is relaxed but informative, leading to strong relationships and a great rapport with his clients. Returning to the North Shore, Michael says "I was attracted to the North Shore area because of its broad demographic consisting of many different people and properties". His family have lived in the Shore since 1965 (45 years), this means he has strong knowledge of the local residential property market to share with you. " I look forward to making a difference by helping the locals with all of their real estate needs.""
