Every review below is a real, published five-star Google review, in full — not a hand-picked line from a longer one. They’re all on my Google listing if you want to check.
“From the very first point of contact, Michael was actively responding — informative, honest and open. He was full of knowledge and took the time to show us round and allowed us to really take the space in.”
“Michael Brownsett did a fantastic job selling my house. From start to finish he was professional, proactive and genuinely invested in getting the best result.”
“Michael was an amazing estate agent from start to finish. I both bought and sold my houses with him. I instantly felt at ease with Michael and he made me feel hope my house would actually sell.”
“Michael was simply outstanding from first to last. I was about to lose my chain — he stepped in, remarketed my home with a really professional approach, and it sold within three days.”
“From start to finish the whole process was smooth. Michael was a great help and quick to offer advice — a pleasure using his services.”
“From day one Michael professionally guided us through a stressful journey, stepping in when needed and making sure we crossed the line on both sale and purchase.”
A free valuation, an honest opinion on price, and no pressure either way.
I didn’t set out to win anything — I set out to sell homes properly. So being recognised twice, by the industry and by Yorkshire, means an enormous amount. The real measure is still a happy seller and a smooth completion, but I’d be lying if I said these weren’t on the wall.

eXp is one of the largest estate agency networks in the world, and Best Newcomer recognises the strongest start made by an agent joining it. I started from nothing — no high-street office, no inherited client list, just a phone, a camera and a promise to do this properly. Being picked out in my first year still hasn’t quite sunk in.

The Prestige Awards celebrate independent businesses across Yorkshire — the ones competing on craft and service rather than sheer size. To be named the county’s best independent estate agent, as a one-man agency up against firms many times my size, is genuinely humbling.
