Mike Mancer - Watson Real Estate 2.01

As a young man I achieved the 'Kiwi-dream' of purchasing my first property at age 23, and from then on entered the world of ‘Open Homes.’ I spent much of my spare weekend time walking through other homes getting ideas as to how to improve my home, while also keeping an eye out for potential investments. My interest in property, along with my observance of differing levels of customer service I experienced, led me to believe that I could provide as good a service as any, and so, I became a Real Estate Salesperson in 2006.

My personal integrity assists me doing things right first time. I endeavour to make the Real Estate marketing, negotiation, and settlement of property as hassle free as possible, by committing to excellence at each step. Being level headed when in negotiations, I have confidence in my ability to attain the best possible price for my clients.

I have experience in selling residential and lifestyle properties. These have ranged from two bedroom units through to family homes, lifestyle homes, and homes with consent for commercial use.

Having lived in Palmerston North for many years I have a sound knowledge of the city and of the wider Manawatu. I enjoy being a dad to my three daughters, Danae, Rachel and Zoe and appreciate the support of my wife Cathy in the careers I have had. My interests are squash, home improvements, gardening and spending most of my spare time with my family. My great great grandfather Torwald Pedersen settled from Denmark into the Manawatu in 1875 and we have had a family presence in the Manawatu ever since.

Something interesting about me - without being aware of it, I ended up on the hidden camera show “Target” in 2006. This involved a phone call out of the blue asking me to appraise a home but with the tenants absent. It was not until the day before the episode was aired on TV3 that I found that I had been “captured” on film. My boss at the time was alarmed, I was not. I ‘top’ scored on Target and received job offers down the North Island.

I chose to work at Watson Real Estate because I saw first hand the family ethics that shone through any interaction I had with Watsons. I have bought property through, and rented property with Watsons, and was always impressed with the great people there.

If you choose to use my services, you will find me approachable, professional, hard working, and knowledgeable. I will commit to making your property sale as hassle free as it can be.
