Seamless Process
Great agent to deal with, friendly, knowledgeable and easy to approach. The process was very seamless from start to the end, after missing out on a lot of offer we finally secure our first home before the grand opening, thanks to Mike! And we hope to deal with Mike again in the near future! Read More

Mike went above and beyond
After missing out on multiple houses I decided to approach Mike as he seemed to be selling a lot of houses in the area I was looking in. Mike was able to show me many houses in my price range and was able to team me up with a seller and buy the house off market, which made it a easier process for both myself and the seller. Mike and his team went out of their way to make sure it was a good buying experience and would highly recommend anyone dealing with him. Thanks Mike and the Team at Rize Realestate Read More

Mike is genuine and extremely willing to assist.
We met Mike during a home open for a home, and ended up discussing another property that was coming onto the market in the coming days. Mike organised a viewing prior to the property being advertised and was extremely willing to help us along the way. Along the way, Mike has been extremely genuine and always willing to help out. Asked any questions, Mike was honest and open with us. Buying properties is not something we've done a lot of so we reached out to Mike probably more than normal but that never phased him - he was always happy to respond and help out wherever he could. If/When it comes time to sell or buy again, I'll definitely be reaching out to Mike. Read More

"Sold our house off-market in a blink of an eye"
Mike has been our agent for many years selling our houses, land and also assisting us with purchasing houses. Each time we utilise the services of Mike Gjestland at RIZE Real Estate he exceeds our expectations. We recently engaged with Mike to sell our house and were once again blown away to have a great offer that was off-market with a few days. My wife and I would highly recommend anyone that is looking for a real estate agent to give Mike Gjestland a call. Mike has a large return-client base which for sellers like us means a list of potential buyers that are keen to purchase...its a win-win! In addition to this, Mike has always made our lives much easier for he and his team take care of business whilst we sit back and relax. Lastly, we have always preferred Mike's honesty about the price that can be achieved from buyers as a pose to some real estate agents that we have had dealings with in the past that provide us with a "pie in the sky" figure that is never going to be achieved. We have no doubt that we will continue to have Mike take care of our real estate needs in the future. Thanks Mike & Team. Read More

I would definitely recommend Mike to help you to achieve your goals as a seller.
I approached Mike to sell my home in Banksia Grove several years ago. I decided against it a couple of times as I struggled to say goodbye to my beautiful home. During this entire process, Mike remained professional and patient, whilst allowing me more than enough time to make up my mind. When I finally decided to sell, he was keepng my budget regarding selling costs in mind, and also achieved a very good price for my home! Mike, I really appreciate your patience and professionalism. All the best of luck for your growing business. Read More
