Introducing

Michael Stewart

Licensee Salesperson
Ray White Barrington

Michael’s rise to the top has been swift. He miraculously ranked amongst the top agents in the company in his very first year and has now cemented his spot as the company's top agent.

Michael is a born and bred Cantabrian and is well connected in the Christchurch community. He has a very impressive background and brings a fantastic energy to the team.

Michael has spent many years playing professional rugby both in New Zealand and internationally but has never strayed far from his academics. He was admitted to the Bar in 2016 and is an enrolled Barrister and Solicitor of the High Court. He thoroughly enjoyed his time working in litigation specialising in Criminal and Employment law but he feels like his talents are best used in a career where more time is spent face to face, developing relationships.

Michael also worked in banking throughout his undergraduate studies and in the later years of his rugby career also obtained a qualification in Computer Programming specialising in coding languages associated with website building.

Michael is passionate, caring and driven in everything he takes on. His competitive nature has him tirelessly pursuing the absolute best outcomes for his family, friends and clients in every single way.

A proven over-achiever.

I moved to Michael after being unsuccessful with my property with another agent. Throughout the process Michael was an excellent communicator and was able to be trusted throughout. He never over promised and under delivered, but rather communicated his thought processes and options as well as bringing in another expert (Rochelle) in to assist. Michael provided regular updates, reports and was always honest with me. I’d recommend Michael and Rochelle and my next property will be sold with them.

Our experience with Michael, had care, support, timely feedback. He listened to our needs, but didnt tell us what we wanted to hear more what we needed to hear. He had superb follow up skills and a communication strategy that kept us up to date with any disappointment or progress.

A+ exceptional. I feel very privileged to have chosen Michael as my agent. He is so knowledgeable about the industry, and the more I worked with him, the more I trusted that knowledge which was shared. He's a careful listener, and was instrumental in keeping in touch with me and my sons, one in Sydney, the other in Berlin. He understood the process and how hard it was for me without immediate family living in NZ. He took the initiative and offered to set up a WhatApp message site for myself and my sons, so that he would give everyone the same info at the same time. He always made it very clear that he could be contacted at any time. Michael was patient and kind, with a willingness to explain everything for which I had a question. I think selling my house, with historical water damage, was not easy, However, while I had my ups and downs, Michael was unwaveringly positive about selling. Without hesitation, I would recommend him for his organisation, his manner, patience and kindness.

Stewart Wardlaw

Mike is a great guy who gave me help regarding the value of our home many months ago even though he didn’t know we would give him the sale. His wisdom and knowledge of the market and willingness to be available to answer questions and bounce thoughts off him helped me a lot. His approach gave me confidence our home was in good hands. Mike and Bre are a great team who know how to develop relationship and confidence with their clients. It has been a great pleasure having them sell our home and getting to know them

Michael is a very good agent to work with. He tells it like it is and doesn't say something just because that is what you want to hear.

Any Real Estate Agent can provide advertising, run open homes, and give advice through the sale process, so what makes a great agent? I sold during the difficult sales market of late 2022 - house prices were falling, and more and more houses were coming on the market every day. Not a great time to be selling, right? Mike guided me through this sale with compassion and optimism, with a constant stream of communication throughout - I was never left wondering. Mike ran as many open homes as time would allow to ensure the widest range of buyers had seen the property, giving me the best chance for the best price. Mike was transparent, giving me all the information with regular catch-ups and text messages, and never made me feel pressured. I was stoked with the result (given the market), and I believe Mike is the prime example of a great agent. Thanks for everything!

If you are thinking of selling your home, hand on heart give Michael Stewart from Ray White a call. Michael recently sold my home, he made it very clear he was working for me and worked tirelessly for the best result. Michael is a very clear communicator, I understood the process and what I needed to achieve and when, while also respecting my space and styling. Michael's campaign was pitched amazingly, this coupled with his professional, relaxed, friendly and genuine personality makes for a winning combination. It's big, selling a home and Michael made it as stress free as possible. Massive thanks to Mike and crew!

Michael was a pleasure to work with and he ensured the whole process was as smooth as possible given the Covid restrictions. For my brother and I, we were selling for the first time, and Michael made sure that had great communication to keep us on the same page. The result was fantastic and recommend Michael, and Ray White to anyone who is looking to sell in the future.

Susan Smith

Michael took the stress away, he said 'breathe, I will do the stressing for you' Michael listened to me, when I said I didn't want my bedroom featured online, I didn't have to say it twice. He promoted my old girl with dignity. He was never pushy or told me to remove items that are part of my home. I found him to be an empathetic person to work with at such a stressful time that I suggested him to my sister and he is now selling her home :)

Michael's work ethic was incredible, the hours of work put into the first class marketing, driving competition and individually working with all (30+) potential buyers was amazing. He took us with him on the journey over the 4 weeks which was comforting and made us feel in complete control of the process. His insistence to make sure we ran out the course of the campaign proved his priorities were with us as opposed to himself and moving our property on. This campaign highlighted not only the importance of an agent and strong team, but more importantly sellers need to work with the very best agent who puts the sellers needs first - we 've spoken to friends and colleagues about our learnings as there's not enough education on the importance of going with the best to maximise your selling potential over nitpicking over fee's.

Mike was professional in every aspect of the selling process. He was thorough in his explanations and a pleasure to deal with.

Glen & Lisa

Michael Stewart - Wouldn’t choose anyone else! Michael managed a very thorough campaign to sell our house. As we are overseas and unable to travel due to COVID restrictions, Michael coordinated a plan with our Property Manager, tenants and ourselves which resulted in a quick, seamless sale. He was timely and provided feedback regularly. Michael followed up with us and potential buyers - there were no questions unanswered. Michael is everything you want in a Real Estate agent - honest, forward-thinking, a great communicator, excellent negotiator. Plus he provides all the extra’s - innovative idea’s, attention to detail, insight. Highly recommend Michael Stewart at Ray White
