"Seamless from Sale to Settlement – Michelle Made It Happen!
We had a particularly complex situation to navigate, needing to sell our existing home and purchase a new one at the same time. From the very beginning, Michelle at Harcourts was absolutely exceptional. She guided us through every step of the process with professionalism, empathy, and unwavering dedication. Michelle made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming experience feel seamless and manageable. Her deep knowledge of the market, her attention to detail, and her strong communication made all the difference. She was always available to answer our questions, provide reassurance, and go the extra mile to make sure everything stayed on track; even when unexpected challenges arose. Thanks to Michelle’s efforts, we not only sold our property but also found the perfect new home for our family. We are incredibly grateful for her hard work and would recommend her and the Harcourts team without hesitation. We will absolutely use them again in the future!"
"The Most Amazing Real Estate Agent in Tauranga.
After four months of searching for our family home, it was an absolute pleasure to meet and work with Michelle. From our very first interaction, she made a strong impression with her honesty, professionalism, and respectful communication. In fact, we ended up closing the deal for 18 Orchard Way within just a week of meeting her - a testament to the trust and clarity she brought into the process. Although Michelle officially represented the vendors, she always treated us with fairness and integrity. It genuinely felt like she was working to bring both sides toward the best possible outcome, and she did so with a calm, dignified approach that we truly appreciated. We’re incredibly happy with the property and equally happy with the way Michelle facilitated the journey. She navigated everything with great care, and her ability to mediate with professionalism and empathy stood out at every step. Thank you, Michelle, for helping make this milestone such a positive experience. We wish you all the very best in the future - you’re not only a fantastic real estate agent but also a truly lovely person. May you have many more happy clients to come!"

"Genuine, friendly and easy to work with
We bought a house at auction that was listed by Michelle and Tony. They are personable and genuine people who helped guide us through the process. They were able to make the house available in a short space of time for the building inspection and have since organised access for us to get tradesman quotes. A very easy buying experience for us - thank you."

They helped me so well, explained things clearly and the sale went very smooth. I can say Michelle and Tony are one of the best realtors in Tauranga.

And thank you so much for your outstanding work and a huge mental support."

We knew we were in good hands.
Thank you for your help, understanding, support, and love during this ‘trying’ time. Really enjoyed the banter with you both."

"Michelle and Tony Hutchby were a delight to deal with, in selling our home. Due to Covid restrictions, we were unable to return to Tauranga, and had to manage everything remotely. Michelle and Tony made everything so easy for us, coordinating with local trades and services required to get the property in top shape, while responsive communication and practical suggestions were really appreciated. We would highly recommend and would use again."
"Hi Michelle & Tony
I would like to say a big THANK YOU!! to you both for an awesome job on selling my father's house. You were great with keeping me updated and informed with everything that was going on.
Thank you so much 👌👍 AWESOME"
"I have known Michelle & Tony for many years as clients of mine and friends. I'd always said that when I wanted to sell my property I would get them to market and sell it and that's what they did... in a short period of time due to a pre-auction offer. The whole process ran smoothly and I found their appraisal to be accurate rather than inflated. Their promotion of a free Baby Weber BBQ was an added bonus and much appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tony & Michelle to future prospective vendors."
"Michelle & Tony had a fight on their hands to sell my 70 year old property with all the un-consented works that had been but it got sold with an awesome unconditional offer 4 days after the auction for $55,000 over the asking price. Thanks guys."
"I would like to provide feedback by way of Testimonial for my experience with yourself and Tony.
Firstly I would like to thank you for the hard work, accurate price indication, the nine open homes in four weeks, other multiple visits and above all a successful outcome for myself and the purchaser in this instance.
Your guidance, help, property marketing and staging to name a few things was very much appreciated and culminated in a successful outcome.
As such I will be in touch when next I sell a Tauranga property.
Thanks again"

You presented your sale plan in a way in which we trusted would be our best option for a smooth and stress- free sale of our property and this worked for us with a great result. Your marketing campaign of open homes and property views were well planned with the least amount of inconvenience to us as vendors. We were very happy with the sale of our home within 4 weeks of listing with Team Hutchby and we would have no hesitation in recommending you both to anyone wanting to sell or buy a property.
All the best for the future."
"A very sincere thank-you Michelle & Tony for all your hard work on our behalf which resulted in the fantastic price you got us, far exceeding what we dreamed of.

Michelle and Tony kept us informed at every step and made our house sale an easy one. Plus, they got top dollar for us."

"Our home was tenanted and we were going overseas. However, once we signed with Team Hutchby our worries were over. They made sure our house was spot less, the repairs all completed once he tenants vacated and then they organised the staging and Wow it was on the market ready for the open homes prior to the auction. However, within 16 days on the market our home was sold. Michelle and Tony treat every home as if it is their own and the fine details are never missed.
Michelle and Tony are wonderful to work with, they keep you fully informed on the progress of the open homes and have great personalities to welcome any prospective buyer or seller, they are honest and hardworking and will not let you down.
We wish to thank you so much Michelle and Tony for making the sale of our home so stress free and easy."
