About Michelle McAteer-Ross

Buying or selling a property can be exciting and stressful at the same time. Having the opportunity to help my clients through the myriad of emotions and legalities of a property purchase is a privilege and one that I take very seriously.

I have been involved in sales and marketing in the hospitality industry for 30 years. I learned that the best way to build a strong relationship with people is to understand their needs. Also, having four children has taught me the art of communication and negotiation!

Everything I have heard about Barfoot & Thompson from friends and family has always been positive so it was an easy choice for me, and working from the Orewa branch, right in the middle of my community is an ideal location.

Home for me and my husband, my four children, two dogs and four rescue cats is a lifestyle block in rural Rodney, and we really love it. We enjoy the laid-back way of life and the many attractions the area has to offer.

I especially love being involved in my children’s schools and sports and it is a great way to meet people. I’ve coached netball, managed rugby teams and I run a netball league in Dairy Flat for women in the community.

I also run a local women’s networking Facebook page. We meet a few times a year at a local hall. It’s lots of fun.

The NZ Breast Cancer Foundation is a charity close to my heart, for personal reasons. We hold a music festival for friends and the local community every year as a fundraiser. It’s an event that my family and I love to be a part of.

I’m a hard worker, I know how to negotiate and you can trust that I will always have your best interests at heart. It is my job to make your experience of buying or selling a property, a better one.

Call me or email me at the Barfoot & Thompson Orewa branch or maybe drop in for a chat.

We found Michelle to be helpful and knowledgeable when selling our house. She has also been very helpful in finding a house for us to buy. Her professionalism and honesty is above reproach.

Country dream come true 5 stars
We've had so much support, help and knowledge shared by Michelle. We have really been looked after and it hasn't stopped yet. She's been a great ambassador for the brand and the community we have purchased in, bringing local knowledge and know-how to our life's dream, which is now a reality! Thanks Michelle!!

Laura Wilmot - Buyer, 22 Nov 2024

Michelle is phenomenal!
"Michelle was an incredible partner on our journey buying our first home. She truly knows the market, is always available, and went above and beyond to support us. Michelle listened carefully to our needs, saved us from a lot of unnecessary legwork, and showed genuine care every step of the way. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home - her dedication and market expertise make all the difference!".. 🥰🌺❤️

I loved working with Michelle. Whilst she was professional and knowledgeable she was also personable. I trusted in her as our joint agent every step of the process and had great results. Thanks Michelle.

Michelle is one of a kind. We have never come across this level of professionalism in our life
We couldn’t be more impressed with the service of Michelle. From the very beginning, Michelle demonstrated exceptional market knowledge and a deep understanding of the local real estate landscape. Her insights and advice were invaluable in setting the right price and preparing our home for sale. One of the standout qualities was her outstanding communication. We live in Brisbane and at any time we needed to get in touch, she was available. I don't think she ever sleeps. She kept me informed at every step of the process, promptly answering all our questions and addressing any concerns we had. Her transparency and honesty made us feel confident and well-supported throughout the entire journey. Trust is a huge factor for us. She also showcased remarkable negotiation skills. She worked tirelessly to secure the best possible deal, always keeping our best interests in mind. Her dedication and professionalism were evident in every interaction, and she went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and successful sale. Our kids rented the property and she also managed the home staging preparation with them. We highly, highly recommend Michelle and Barfoot & Thompson. Thank you Michelle!!!!

Seller - Taikura Avenue, Red Beach

Positive passion - Michelle was always positive and full of energy, great communication across a long slow campaign. She knew the right buyer would come along and with her drive and passion for real estate the end result was very successful. Thank you for your perseverance and patience and here's to many more happy home sales 🥳

Erin Richards - Seller, 17 Aug 2024

Michelle recently sold our home for us in Army Bay. Michelle kept us well informed throughout the entire process and showed a lot of persistence and determination to get the sale completed. She is a hard worker and a great communicator, thanks Michelle! Cheers

Dave

Without Michelle's talent, real estate knowledge, perserverance and patience I wouldn't have found and purchased my new home that I am thrilled with. She assisted me with negotiations making sure I got it for the right price for me. I am new to the Hibiscus Coast, so her long history of living and working as a real estate agent here was invaluable. I could have bought a property, or in an area, that wasn't in my best interests. She guided me, taking into account my uniqueness. I thoroughly recommend her as a Buyers Agent and Real Estate Agent. Thanks Michelle  

Felicity Read

Michelle has sold three new houses for us in just over three months! As a building company, we very much appreciate Michelle's professional attitude and hard work to get the best results. She is open-minded and easy-going and is always a pleasure to work with. Her positive attitude and competent experience is definitely a great help to both property vendors and buyers. We highly recommend Michelle as your salesperson.

Weisheng

I was very impressed with our salesperson, Michelle. She was so easy to deal with and her friendly attitude and knowledge of the industry was beyond reproach. She constantly went out of her way to make sure I had the best opportunities available to secure the sale, and she kept in touch with me constantly throughout the process. I will definitely be recommending her.

Kaye Bennetts

“Having worked with Michelle to sell our home recently, we were really happy with the service she provided. We were not in Auckland at the time, so from getting our house “sale ready”, liaising with stagers and cleaners and taking on a lot of the leg work on our behalf in addition to showing the home, Michelle really did go above and beyond for us. Michelle is an excellent communicator, frequently updating us on the latest happenings and was always at the end of a phone call to answer any of our questions. We would really recommend working with Michelle to anyone looking to list or buy a home in the near future.”

Bridie

Acting on behalf of my client to source a specific residential property investment, Michelle McAteer-Ross of Barfoot & Thompson assisted throughout a prolonged period to accomplish that task.

Michelle showed flexibility and more importantly, a dedicated willingness to adapt to our timeline. Michelle delivers professionalism, diplomacy, honesty, and a solid commitment to ensuring client and company satisfaction.

I have found Michelle to be a well-balanced person with good moral standings and a decent community member. Michelle deserves recognition for her competency level and commitment to planning and execution of the purchasing process through this testimonial on behalf of myself and my client.

Martin J Robins

Exceptional Professional Service

The genuine enthusiasm evident when Joanne John & Michelle visited the property to do an appraisal, gave me great confidence in placing the sale of my property in their hands. I liked their positive attitude and approach to a somewhat unique equestrian property. It was accurately priced which was reflected in the keen interest received from potential buyers, and sale price was achieved in less than four weeks. I was kept updated and well-informed throughout the whole process, over and above expectations, and this was all done in a very highly professional and friendly manner.

Sue Phil - Vendor

We would recommend Michelle to anyone who wishes to sell their property with a successful result. She is professional, realistic and has a fantastic personality. We were kept well informed throughout the sales process and nothing was ever too much trouble. We cannot thank Michelle enough for everything she did for us and cannot recommend her highly enough.

If you want to list your property, Michelle is the person.

Brian Stewart & Family

Exceptional & Ethical

Michelle did a great job in guiding us through the process and kept our best interests at the heart of discussions and negotiations. She was available as needed for discussions and kept us in the loop as the process moved forward. Highly recommend.

Glynn Hunt - Buyer, 5 Mar 2022

I was lucky enough to have Michelle as my salesperson when I purchased my property in Red Beach. It was a unique property and I had also just started a new job. Michelle went out of her way! Michelle went above and beyond and I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking to buy or sell property. You could not get a nicer person. Amazing Lady 💕

Karen W

I made the right choice when selecting Michelle  to be my salesperson. A lot of salespeople I have dealt with previously were quick to  forget that their role is to represent their vendor. Throughout the whole  process Michelle was there for me -  always contactable and  always approachable- keeping my interests as her number one priority.  She definitely had my back!

Thank you

Denise 

I first met Michelle in November of last year when my daughter was looking to buy a property in Whangaparaoa. I asked her to keep an eye out for me as I was interested in moving to Orewa from Mangere Bridge. Michelle went out of her way to find properties that suited my brief and within a month I had found my dream home. I found Michelle to be honest, reliable, down-to-earth and totally trustworthy. I thoroughly recommend her to any prospective purchasers or sellers.

Robyn

I recently purchased a property on the Whangaparaoa peninsula through Michelle. She did an outstanding job in researching potential properties that suited our requirements and in answering every question we had during the purchase.

Over the last 30 years I have bought and sold quite a number of residential properties and Michelle stands out as one of the best real estate salespeople I have worked with.

I highly recommend her !!

Grant Beck

In February of this year, Michelle McAteer-Ross and Vi Davidson sold our property in Wainui. They were both outstanding salespeople and certainly went that extra mile for us. There were many private viewings and open homes and they were always obliging, available and accommodating to both the people wanting to view our property and also to us, even if it meant shuffling things around.

Both Michelle and Vi are very happy and cherry people and always lift your spirits even when you felt exhausted from the whole experience of selling your home. Their advice was always appreciated and accepted and "bang on".

I would 100% recommend them and definitely use them both for any future real estate needs.

Kind regards

Jannine Benning & Neil Kennedy

My salesperson Michelle, really put the work in with the sale of my property. It was a very unique and difficult place to sell but she never gave up and managed to pull it off wonderfully. She was always helpful and great to communicate with. I'm so thankful for her and the teams work they have done :)
