Dear Michael and Franco,


Wyam and I just wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done for us. We have never come across real estate agents who have been so genuine and honest.


We really appreciate all the little extras that you have helped with including recommending services that we required in setting up our household. You have helped make this normally stressful event a very pleasant and enjoyable experience. With your help we have made our dream a reality and now own our first home and will have it ready just in time to welcome our son into this world.


We are so grateful to have such a beautiful home to raise our young family in. Thank you again for your wonderful service and we look forward to staying in contact.


Kind regards,

Dear Michael,


Kathy and I would like to take the opportunity to sincerely thank you for the service you have provided to us during the course of the sale of our townhouse at Ferny Grove.


Selling a property is a stressful time for most people, and we can honestly say that from our initial meeting with you, right through to the completion of our sale, you did everything in your power to put us at ease and ensure we understood each step of the way.


We really appreciated your honest and down-to-earth manner, which was refreshing after meeting a variety of agents. The effort you went to regularly contact us throughout the sale process and keep us up to date with developments was also greatly appreciated, as it gave us great peace of mind.


Additionally, your offers of assistance and advice when we are searching for a property to buy, were not only appreciated, but well and truly above and beyond the level of service you would ordinarily expect.


We would highly recommend VZ Real Estate to anyone wishing to buy and sell property, and would list with you again without hesitation.


Yours sincerely,


Scott Mair & Kathy Wilson

It was pleasure dealing with people who you felt comfortable with. Our home became their home, not just another house to sell.


When the phone rang you weren’t just talking to your agent it was like speaking with a friend. Thank you Franco and Michael (your 5 star in our book).


We would have no hesitation in recommending VZ Real Estate to anyone wanting to sell their home. We will most definitely be using them again if we need to sell in the future.


Best wishes

Dear friends,


We have been doing business with Michael Verstandig for over 15 years and will continue to do business with him for many years to come.


In the past 15 years, we have purchased two houses from him, rented two houses through Verstandig Zaini and have put the team in touch with five of our family and friends. We have no hesitation in making these referrals because Michael, Franco and the team go to great lengths to look after all their customers and customer requests.


Every person we have referred to them has been surprised with some aspect of their service from the commissions, speed of return phone calls, follow up, researching information for you, going the extra mile and assisting with tradesmen or putting the bins out!


If you have a property to rent, both you and your tenants can be assured that Verstandig Zaini will take the angst out of renting.


The best part is the team at Verstandig Zaini listen to you, are extremely reasonable and helpful. If you are thinking about buying, selling, renting, switching agents or just need some real estate assistance, we suggest considering the following:


Reasons to use Verstandig Zaini – Cut out the cowboys and their mumbo jumbo – Peace of mind with contracts and explanations – Great service – Competitive commissions – Regular reports, information and updates – Sensible marketing and sales strategies – Local and community minded – Support local small business.


Reasons not to use Verstandig Zaini – Re-read Reasons to use Verstandig Zaini – Give us a call – we should discuss

Honesty and Integrity, and just a really nice bloke!

Michael quickly earned our trust and respect, and used his knowledge and experience to ably guide us through the selling process. Click to read more...

This is the third time we have dealt with Michael to buy or sell a home, and it has once again been a positive and relatively stress free experience. Michael (and his business partner Franco) are honest and down-to-earth people who take pride in getting to know their clients and buyers alike, and genuinely try to achieve the best outcomes for both parties.


Michael is very positive and engaging and always kept us up to date with what was happening. He was willing to answer any questions, and never once did we feel pressured into any decision. Michael quickly earned our trust and respect, and used his knowledge and experience to ably guide us through the selling process.


I recommend Michael to anyone who appreciates an honest, hard working agent who takes pride in providing personalised service to achieve the best outcome for their clients.

Honesty and Integrity

Best of all he was able to achieve a record price for my two bedroom home. Click to read more...

After hearing all the horror stories of people dealing with real estate agents it was a pleasure to find such a down to earth and honest approach from Michael. He kept me informed throughout the entire process from the taking of the photos to the signing of the contract. Best of all he was able to achieve a record price for my two bedroom home.


I have no hesitation in recommending Michael and the team from VZ Real Estate

I could not recommend VZ highly enough. They do NOT charge for advertising, there are no gimmicks, no BS, no auctions, no inflated or deflated prices, just honestly and integrity.

You cannot ask for two more genuine gentleman in Real Estate like Michael and Franco. I first had the pleasure in buying a property from Michael 20 years ago now. It was this young man that changed my perception of a real estate agent forever.

We drove up a street and saw a for sale sign, surprised the agent said he would meet us there 1 hour later we didn’t have to wait for an open inspection.


We met Michael Verstandig at the appointed time.


He showed us through the door and said go for it I’m not going to harass you, we had a good look and then talked with Michael about a few things which led him to explain there was 2 offers to be submitted to the owner on Monday, this was Sunday. To our surprise Michael said he would give no indication at all about the other offers as he worked for the owners, I was impressed and said now there’s three.


I received a phone call on Monday to say our offer had been accepted, great news.


Michael did a great job for the owner I know this from the new neighbors who are friends of the owners.


My experience with Michael as the purchaser was also brilliant no problems at all, he even dropped the new house keys off to us after settlement with a bottle of wine to celebrate.


Buying a new house can be very stressful, Michael you made this a walk in the park Thank you.

Michael sold me the property almost 20 years ago, managed the rental for most of that time, was always there to talk to about options, then generated a solid number of prospective buyers and sold the property within 2 weeks right in the estimated price range. He’s someone who knows his area inside out from decades of running his own agency there. He’s also someone who is easy to trust with your investment, and a nice guy to boot.

Michael, provided an extremely accurate estimate on the value of our property and guaranteed to sell the property within a range of that price, which he did.

Great communication

Michael was a great agent. He has a ‘no pressure’ approach to both buying and selling, which I think many clients appreciate. His communication was spot on and he was able to sell my unit for the asking price. I would highly recommend him.

We have a rental property with VZ and recently contacted them to sell our property in Banyo. Michael and his partners and his office crew couldn’t do enough for us. they where great. The property was sold within a very short time on the market and for the amount that was estimated at the beginning of our negotiations. We are extremely happy the way it was handled and the continues updates that were provided to us. We still have the rental property with VZ and their management of that property is very well managed with regular updates. I highly recommend VZ for selling, buying or renting out your valuable property. Thanks again Michael and your partners.

CONSISTENT AND EXCELLENT

"I can’t say this about any other real estate agent that I have ever dealt with, I believe what he says, and he does what he says he will do. He is a no bullshit person and will give it to you straight whether you want it or not"...

I can’t say this about any other real estate agent that I have ever dealt with, I believe what he says, and he does what he says he will do.


He is a no bullshit person and will give it to you straight whether you want it or not.


If you are looking for an agent that promises you everything you ask for and then spends the entire time convincing you that the “market is telling you that your property is worth way less than I valued it at one week ago and you have to drop the price”, then read no further, there are hundreds of them circling at the bottom of the agent ocean, and if that is whom you are looking for you won’t be disappointed, pick anyone else.


However, if you want someone that will back themselves in on their valuation, believes in your property and what he has told you, then Michael will sell your property at the right price for you with no fuss or bullshit.

I have used Michael, successfully in over 12 transactions over 20 years.


I have also spoken with Michael on numerous occasions over the years on real estate trends and feelings. He has always been happy to talk with me and I have always listened to his advise.


If you are looking for an agent, even if the property is located outside his general area, use him.

PROFESSIONAL CONSISTANCY OVER MANY YEARS

"Your success reflects the very high level of service you give to both seller & buyer through regular communication, your professional manner, market knowledge, enthusiasm and honesty"...

Michael , principal of VZ Real Estate, has now sold 6 of our family homes over the past 9 years achieving our desired sale price on every occasion. Your success reflects the very high level of service you give to both seller & buyer through regular communication, your professional manner, market knowledge, enthusiasm and honesty. Michael, it is always a pleasure dealing with you.

Glen Anderson

Highly recommended!!

"I was confident I could trust to do the right thing for both me as the seller and for the buyer. Plus, he got a better sale price than any of the other 3 agents I interviewed"...

Michael was easy to deal with and genuinely positive about the property, and it was so comfortable working with an agent I was confident I could trust to do the right thing for both me as the seller and for the buyer. Plus, he got a better sale price than any of the other 3 agents I interviewed suggested even as a starting price – in fact, the total I received after deducting Michael’s commission was more than the lowest of the three other starting figures! So, as you can imagine, I’m very happy with the result. I have sincerely thanked Michael. But I also thank Jenman Real Estate Support – without its education and support I would have found the process a lot more stressful, I wouldn’t have got in touch with Michael, and I strongly doubt I would have received close to the same great service.

Always friendly and informative

"His professionalism and that of his team is why I have stayed with his company for so many years"...

Michael has always looked after my property and addressed any concerns that has arisen with the renters or maintenance needed. His professionalism and that of his team is why I have stayed with his company for so many years and now – he has sold my property within the first 24 hours of being on the market at more than I was expecting. My wife and I highly recommend Michael to look after property management and sales.


Peter & Jenny

Excellent service!!

"Michael is what we all hope for in a real estate agent but never seem to find"...

Buying our first home with Michael was an absolute pleasure. His honesty, care, and willingness to assist where ever possible made the whole buying experience so much smoother. Michael prides himself on running a business based of honesty and integrity and did so at every stage with us. From the get go michael made us feel like our business mattered to him. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy their first home (or someone selling). Michael is what we all hope for in a real estate agent but never seem to find. Thanks Michael!


Sam & Crystal

Thank you Michael for your help

"I felt totally comfortable at every stage of the sale. I cannot recommend Michael enough to anyone looking at selling their property"...

Michael was recommended by my son and I couldn’t be happier with the service he provided. He was so helpful from beginning to end. He sold my old house of 62 years within a day. I was amazed! He kept me up to date with everything as I hadn’t ever sold a property before. I felt totally comfortable at every stage of the sale. I cannot recommend Michael enough to anyone looking at selling their property.





Mrs Peters

Top notch agent with old school principals

"His service is always on point and his professionalism is the best in the business"...

This is not the first time we have used Michael for purchasing a home. His service is always on point and his professionalism is the best in the business. Michael is always happy to take our call with questions or advise and is always spot on with both, his experience in the industry is evident. If you are buying or selling I suggest you give Michael a call.


Ross & Katherine

Fantastic, Honest and Genuine Sales Agent

"He holds himself to a high standard of integrity and professionalism"...

Michael is an excellent agent, and we will be recommending him to all of our friends and family. He holds himself to a high standard of integrity and professionalism and we couldn’t be happier with the result from the sale of our home.


Georgia & Sean

Michael was great to work with. He is an excellent communicator, efficient, friendly and professional and has a wealth of knowledge in his field; which lead to a great outcome for our property. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Michael and the VZ team to others.


Troy P

A Legend In The Local Community And Beyond

"A lovely local agent that respects both his sellers and his buyers.. exceeded my expectations"...

Michael treated us with respect and he listened to us. We truly feel that he is invested in both his sellers and buyers, to create a mutually beneficial outcome. I would describe Michael as honest, real, kind, invested, valued, and a legend in the local community and beyond. For results and great experience where you are more then a number, I would call Michael on 0419 719 322. Blown away by how good a real estate agent he is. Would recommended to buyers and sellers.
