Michael Healy

Michael is passionate about people and property. He has been the area’s top agent for over a decade because he truly listens to his clients and is dedicated to providing an exceptional level of service.

Here’s why working with Michael is different:

  • He genuinely cares about his clients and works with them as a team. As a result, many of his clients are return customers.
  • He finds and addresses problems before they endanger deals. When he takes on a listing, Michael goes through the property file thoroughly so he can help fix any potential issues right at the beginning. He has also built a wide network of top professionals (from planners to plumbers) who help solve problems quickly and efficiently.
  • He knows what works. From years of experience — and rigorous analysis of the data — he knows what gets results and which tactics are a waste of your money.
  • He’s straight up. Michael will be honest with you about the state of the market and what he sees as your best strategy. 
  • He gets results. Michael has consistently outperformed all other agents in the area for over ten years.

 

Michael and his wife Diane moved from Auckland to Northland in 1997. For them — as for so many who move to the area — it was about a lot more than just a “house.” Michael recognises that real estate is really about people and their goals, and he is passionate about helping his clients realise those goals.

Testimonials

I would like say thank you to Far North Coastal Real Estate for the swift and efficient marketing of my property in Coopers Beach. Sold by you Michael before advertising came online. Astute in bringing my purchaser from your data base of clients which resulted in a quick and painless sale. Communication was great so I was never left wondering how things were progressing. Professional in all ways, thorough and knowledgeable in marketing and inspiring confidence in me the seller. Thank you again Michael. Like in all good dealings of importance in our lives people who look after you become real friends.
The experience dealing with Michael has been very positive. Communication has throughout has been excellent, very immediate and explanatory. We’ve enjoyed the more gentle, honest and non-pushy (for want of a better word!) service from Michael. Will most certainly recommend to others and use Far North Coastal Real Estate again in the future if/when needed.
We already knew how efficient and communicative Michael is from when we purchased the house through Far North Coastal Real Estate. We did not even give a second thought to using someone else for the house sale as your reputation in the area is second to none and of course our own experience of it. We sincerely believe our house sale would not have happened without Michael's experience in what he does and his believability as a straight shooter and totally honest person. Thank you so much for your efforts, they are very much appreciated.
We would definitely recommend Michael Healy. If we needed our house sold, he would be first on our list. Very motivated and knows how to handle people really well. He is good at keeping the buyer's interest. As far as buying which we did, we found he had great communication skills and was very prompt with emails and phone calls. Cannot find fault, definitely was helpful and met our expectations. In some instances he went beyond what was expected of an agent. We would recommend Far North Coastal Real Estate as our number one choice, they make good ambassadors to the gateway of Mangonui.

Last three months have been some of the most pressured in our lives with an International move during covid - nightmarish, a tight housing market, pet-friendly furnished rental accommodation virtually non-existent ... etc. A few houses 'would do' but they didn't make our hearts sing. They weren't a good fit. Michael, your patience and professionalism (with good knowledge of the properties, quick response to questions and consistent positiveness about the vendors) combined with a gentle, non-pushy approach (and sense of humour popping out now and then) made for a relaxed and trusting relationship. We felt safe with you. Julie, your quiet, super-efficient admin and support is superb. Both of you are great at setting others up to succeed, sharing useful contacts with people new to the area. Very appreciated. All worked 100% for us.
Team Michael, you have exceeded all my expectations and confirm the testimonials of those in your profile. You made my journey so easy with your knowledge, expertise and respect. Communication was outstanding. You have proved to be a caring and thoughtful team and I will always be thankful and share my experience with others. You truly are a class act and our community is so fortunate in having you work for us. Thank you all once again.
Michael and his team at Far North Coastal Real Estate helped us to sell our property and we were delighted with the process and outcome. They are the best agents we have ever dealt with, for many reasons. Their expertise, clear communication and professionalism shone through, and we highly recommend their services.
Michael was very professional, accomodating and transparent, which built our trust in the whole process. All communication was clear, concise and to the point, mitigating any risks of confusion and ambiguities. The advertisement accurately represented the property features. Michael was very helpful, pointing us to the local resources with regards to the pre-purchase inspection, future developments etc.
Thank you to Michael and Julie for making the transaction go so smoothly. We are very grateful and happy purchasers. In relation to your request for feedback, I wanted to let you know the reasons that we held your Agency and Michael in such high esteems arises from: - prompt, honest and thorough answers to questions posed - good communication throughout the transaction right from the start, during and then closer to settlement with reminders of things such as insurances and important dates - as foreign purchasers, we were a little unsure of ourselves and had experienced other agents effectively dismiss our interest in their properties. In contrast, Michael had an open mind and didn't come with any of those prejudices or beliefs that we were likely to be tyre-kickers. - all of the contacts that Michael provided have been exceptional. In turn, everyone that we worked with spoke in glowing terms of his skills and work ethic. Thank you again for your effort and assistance.
Michael was absolutely marvellous. He kept us informed of what was happening and we could contact him anytime. The office manager Julie we thank too for her part in writing up the list of extra chattels. We have already told people about the ease of how everything went and will continue to do so.
Our Trustees would like thank you for your excellent service in selling the property. Everything from the initial visit to the listing and finding a purchaser was absolutely top notch. We realise with having to deal with 4 different people spread throughout the country as well as overseas make things more difficult but all was handled exceptionally well. Far North Coastal Real Estate did meet our expectations in fact exceeded them with the speed of the sale. We would recommend your services to people seeking real estate assistance
Considering we were on the ‘other side of the fence’ you guys were awesome. We really enjoyed dealing with Michael as he is very open and honest.
While we didn’t purchase via Michael (as our dream property was listed elsewhere) we had exceptional service from him. From keeping in touch, emailing us promptly any info and showing us two homes in between his office manager’s wedding on a Saturday, we were grateful for his commitment. There is no doubt we will contact Michael when in need for further real estate help and/or recommend him to others - he’s the real deal. Oh and very welcoming of out of Towners!
I can only say that you both exceeded our expectations dealing with both Julie and you. As I had mentioned to Michael the first time I met him - we had found it so difficult just to get a return call or email from any other agent. So thank you both for everything.
Michael was extremely patient and supportive over the years – beyond just purchase and sales but also in support of general information I needed at a difficult time. I will always be grateful.
I came back to Far North Coastal because of the honest advice I got when buying, and the assistance that Michael gave me right the way through subdividing. Primarily, I came back because Michael is a relief to deal with when there is an underlying stress or anxiety. He takes the time, exudes calm, and that really helps. He is also very sensitive to the psychology of both vendor and buyer. When he suggests an approach it is well considered and to everyone’s advantage. I’ve always thought the balance between representing both parties to be almost impossible to carry out with professionalism, but I am satisfied that that is what Michael does. In short, he did exactly what he promised to do…and what I needed to happen, and as I am still a property owner in the area, I will be back yet again someday. I will continue to recommend you guys, and as I hear your name mention constantly, I know I’m not the only one. With many thanks for a great job.
Michael and his team helped us with our purchase of our property at Doubtless Bay. At all times they were friendly, informative and their communication with us throughout the transaction was excellent. We would not hesitate in recommending Michael Healy and Far North Coastal to represent you whether you are purchasing or selling a property.
