He provides an impeccable service to home buyers and property investors throughout Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, Surf Coast and Melbourne. He is well versed with residential, commercial and lifestyle properties.
Raised on a cattle and sheep property outside Birregurra and educated in Geelong he holidayed with his family at Lorne for 12 years and later at Barwon Heads where he now resides. Michael was a selling agent for 10 years where he concluded his sales journey as a director of RT Edgar in Toorak.
In 1998 Michael opened his Buyers Advocate business, The Advocates Property Advisory. He has a sound rapport with the selling agents and a vast circle of friends, affiliates, and past clients where he is often privy to properties for sale prior to being listed with an agent or the property being marketed.

Revolutionising the property purchase experience, Michael is one of the first and most respected Buyers Advocates in Victoria and thrives on securing the perfect property for his clients for the lowest price, in the shortest time and on the most favourable terms.
We have two young children and we are moving down from Melbourne to Geelong for lifestyle reasons. Michael was great – easy to work with and got us what we wanted. Worth his weight in gold when bidding at auction and getting an idea for property value. Would highly recommend him as a buyer’s agent for anyone looking to buy in Geelong."

“I wanted to have a house to move into at the time the sale of my then property settled. I had scoured ads and visited properties for several months, but nothing really suited, and I felt it would be good to have someone knowledgeable as a sounding board. I contacted Michael who agreed to give me his advice on properties I identified, which he did several times. This helped me clarify what I really needed in a new house. Then he found a number of off-market properties which we visited together - one of these immediately ticked all the boxes.
Michael negotiated the purchase price, and I had my new house ready to move into when my other property settled. I much appreciated the wise counsel I received from Michael on a variety of houses, and then his success in locating such a suitable place in a relatively short time. Although I was hesitant at first about engaging a buyer’s advocate, it proved to be an excellent decision, and one I would recommend to others."

“Michael was essential to us securing what we hope to be our forever home. We had a very unique set of requirements to suit our families particular needs, and Michael was very understanding and empathetic regarding this. He provided excellent communication and support every step of the way, and was very patient with our concerns and inexperience in the real estate market. We had neither the time nor the knowledge to manage this on our own, and Michael's diligent property assessment, knowledge of the local market and expert negotiation skills meant we saved much more money than if we had of tried to tackle the purchase on our own.
We couldn’t possibly have had the success and happiness we have had without Michael’s support and although we do hope this is our forever home, wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again if required."
