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.

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.

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.

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

Amazing Mel

Mel turned  up this morning  I was immediately  blown away with how lovely  and kind he was. He was thorough  and professional yet his warm nature really shone through. Click to read more...

Just felt compelled  to write in and let you  know  how impressed I am with your handy gentleman  Mel!


After years of renting we have seen many different types of handymen, with  most leaving us with less than satisfactory work.


Needless  to  say when Mel turned  up this morning  I was immediately  blown away with how lovely  and kind he was. He was thorough  and professional yet his warm nature really shone through.


He took  time and care with each item, and went through his jobs with a fine tooth comb. This sort of attention  is unfortunately lacking these days. It was refreshing  to see someone care enough to take pride and effort even in a small job like a hinge on a door.


It shows wonderful  work ethic and that coupled with his sunny disposition makes Mel a sparkling  gem amongst  his peers.


We are really grateful  to you for having a  wonderful  team . Being professional  AND  kind is such a rarity with many businesses not really  understanding  both can be achieved.  Sue embodies this fully. She is professional and hardworking while always maintaining her ethics kindness and compassion.


I was just taken off guard by Mel! He is the  same.


As I said  earlier a rarity.  What a blessing  to know you are all head and shoulders above the  rest.


Glad we are in good hands. Especially  mum who has  been  a renter for 40 years !


To all your  team at VZ have a lovely day and thank you

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.

A Very Satisfied Customer

I rang Michael on Thursday asked him if it would be possible to sell my house and do you think it would take long to get someone interested. That Saturday he had a customer and with some more careful negotiation he accomplished a Great Price we could not be happier. I highly recommend his company […]

Thank you for your great service.

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 would not go anywhere else

I recently sold my property through Franco from VZ Real Estate and could not be happier with the result.

I recently sold my property through Franco from VZ Real Estate and could not be happier with the result. Franco was very open and honest, his communication was outstanding and the results he achieved were fantastic. He hit the right price point and within 2 days of listing we had 2 firm offers. He quickly got both potential buyers to their top dollar and promptly finalised the deal.


Franco’s approach of honest and realistic price estimates, showing only qualified buyers through the property and regular communication paid dividends with a quick result at the top dollar.


If you are looking to sell your property, I could not recommend VZ Real Estate highly enough. I would not go anywhere else for any future property transactions.

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. Michael has since sold all my properties for me and always provides his time and advice, nothing is ever too much trouble. I cannot recommend these two gentleman highly enough.

Honest and Genuine

We’ve known Franco and Michael for years now through buying and selling. They certainly don’t carry that Real Estate Sales stigma because I’ve never met more honest and genuine guys like them. If I know of friends or family selling their home I always tell them about VZ. Well done guys, you’re a credit to […]

I recently purchased a house from Franco, from the first inspection to the house settling Franco was great to deal with.

Very approachable, friendly, creditable, wasn’t pushy like other agents, he never once did the ‘this house is great agent speech’. Franco gave you time to look at the house and ask him any questions.

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.

EASY TO RECOMMEND

16 April 2018 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.

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.

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.

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.
