MICHAEL SCHLEGEL - Director/Licensee

Being a part of the real-estate industry for over twenty years has given Michael Schlegel the key of success in his profession.  This dedicated individual believes it is all about being frank with his clients, telling them how it really is, giving a concise overview of the current market, keeping his clients informed, up to date and sharing his thorough knowledge of the fluctuating economic conditions.

Michael specialises in the Southern suburbs where he grew up and raised a family of his own. Michael is very familiar with the local property market which provides him a natural edge in the industry.  This in-depth knowledge and familiarity of the area inclusive of Dapto, Horsley and Avondale has enabled Michael to become a leader in his specialised areas and beyond, in not only suburban residential property but the niche area of rural property and acreage sales.

Consequently, he has a wealth of real estate knowledge to draw upon to assist his clients in securing the best possible sale price for their property.  Highly effective marketing campaigns, expert negotiation skills and going beyond the call of duty is all in a day’s work for Michael and some of the key elements that make him, stand out from the rest.

As Licensee, a Senior Sales Executive, and Partner of Peter Taranto Realestate, Michael has a string of successes to his name.  He is a household name in the Illawarra region and has achieved this by maintaining an honest, transparent approach to all his dealings as well as being professional and consistent in his follow-up and communication with clients.  His ‘secret’ to success is honesty, integrity, old fashioned loyalty, hard work and placing an emphasis on building long standing relationships encouraging many referrals. 

Michael and his team are committed to delivering each and every one of his clients the highest possible sale price for their property and provide outstanding customer service in the process.

Michael’s motto is that “we get it right the first time” and sincerely believes that his team provides the best service possible.  He loves his work and states the ‘best thing in my career in real estate is that I look forward to going to work everyday and the enthusiasm I get from enjoying my job creates a huge amount of success’.
