In the realm of rural and lifestyle property real estate, Michael Everard stands as a distinguished figure. A seasoned professional with a rich tapestry of experience woven from stock and station, building construction, and property development.
As a senior member of the Elders Real Estate team, Michael seamlessly integrates his extensive background into a powerhouse of expertise, offering clients an unparalleled understanding of every aspect of the real estate process.
A defining feature of Michael’s career is his commitment to building lasting client relationships. Viewing real estate as more than just transactions, he takes the time to understand each client’s unique needs, listening attentively and offering tailored solutions. “Most of my business is relationship-based,” Michael affirms, highlighting the deep connections he has cultivated over the years. His extensive experience, combined with a strong background in construction, enables him to unlock the full potential of rural properties and secure the best possible outcomes for his clients.
Unlike many agents who specialise in a single niche, Michael’s diverse experience across multiple segments of real estate sets him apart. This broad perspective gives him a strategic edge, allowing him to navigate industry complexities with a level of knowledge few can match.
In marketing, Michael employs a dynamic mix of traditional and modern strategies to showcase his listings effectively. While real estate portals remain essential for active buyers, he leverages the expansive reach of social media to engage passive buyers, creating organic exposure that extends beyond conventional marketing. As part of the Elders Rural network, he also benefits from a vast network of contacts and an extensive database, further enhancing his ability to connect buyers and sellers.
With 35 years in the industry, Michael finds the greatest fulfilment in using his expertise to support others, particularly those facing challenges. For him, real estate is not just about the volume of transactions—it’s about making a meaningful impact by providing guidance and support during pivotal moments in people’s lives.
My Testimonials
From the very first meeting with Mick, we knew we had the right person for the job of selling our family home. Mick had as much pride of our home as we did. Bek and Mick spent the extra time on promoting our home with videos in which they captured all the positives like the beautiful creek and nature. No matter what we were communicated with all the way. We felt at ease because whatever hick ups there were Mick would sort it out from that end, he went 100% above and beyond for us I'm not sure on how we would have coped without Mick, Dave and Bek. I would recommend Mick and team to anyone.
Mick, Dave, and Rebekah did a fantastic job marketing my property, Wabonga Rise. The exposure was extensive, and they achieved an excellent result in a short time frame. Mick kept me well informed throughout the entire process and handled any challenges with professionalism and care. I’m very grateful for their efforts and highly recommend the Elders team.
We cannot speak highly enough of the professionalism of the Elders Real Estate team – Michael Everard, David Colvin and Rebekah Christie – who, from initial phone contact to final execution of sale of our two properties, stepped us through the necessary understandings and obligations throughout the entire process. We knew from the initial meeting that they were there for us all the way and so giving them our trust to sell our property was only natural. They became more than real estate agents. The results exceeded our expectations. We are sure there will be many customers who will experience like sentiments. Their courtesy call and visit to “tie the bow” after settlement was very personal, too. Thank you, Mike, Dave and Rebekah.
Thanks for sharing your expertise and professional insight with our property. I appreciate your authentic, respectful and compassionate approach which really suited our unique situation.
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks, gratitude and appreciation to the Wangaratta Elders Real Estate team, most especially to Mick who was professional, respectful, courteous and positive throughout the entire process of selling my property. Mick went way above and beyond with his help (thank you so much once again Mick) in preparing for a clearing sale in a very short period of time, to ensure settlement went smoothly and on time. I highly recommend Wangaratta Elders Real Estate to anyone in the market for selling/buying property.
A big thank you to Elders of Wangaratta and Mick Everard for selling my property for me. I approached Elders to value my property, but instead within three weeks Elders had sold the property at auction. The whole process went very smoothly, with constant contact and support from Mick. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend using Elders for any property dealings. With many thanks Jenni Allan
We recently sold our Whorouly farming property at Auction in August 2022. This was conducted by Elders Real Estate Wangaratta, with a great outcome of sale. We can't thank the real estate team enough. Michael, Dave & Sally put in an enormous effort throughout the whole process under time constraints. The expertise, professionalism, sense of humour, realistic expectations and wonderful support was exceptional. They met all our expectations. We highly recommend the Elders Wangaratta team.
We have experienced a personable and thoroughly professional experience in selling our Molyullah property with Elders in Wangaratta. Michael, supported by the Elders Wangaratta team have been fantastic to work with every step of the way. Market, knowledge, marketing considerations, matching potential buyers and property visits were all managed with equal thoughtfulness. Recommend Michael and the team to any vendor - would ask for his help if I was buying.
I found Michael to be extremely courteous, friendly and professional, with a full and detailed knowledge of the local market. He worked tirelessly in an effort to sell our house as quickly as possible, in the end achieving a result far greater than we first anticipated.
I had the pleasure of meeting Michael three years ago when I called Elders with a trivial question that was actually for someone else. From the very first phone call his service, professionalism and knowledge has been absolutely faultless. This year I sold my own property and it was a true honour to be able to recruit Michael - he has gone above and beyond, no questions are too silly and he has been a solid support throughout the whole process. 5 star review, I cannot recommend him enough!
From the first minute we met Mick we knew that he was the perfect person to sell our property. Mick was professional, committed, realistic and "stuck to the plan". He made the whole process simple and was honest and fair. We would definitely recommend Mick as someone who "gets the job done".
Michael is the Ultimate Professional; he is a credit to Real Estate. His integrity, punctuality, knowledge and keeping us in the loop every step of the way, made selling our home so easy for us. We would recommend Michael to everyone who wants to sell their home, for the right price and quickly.

If we ever sell our’s he’ll be the only agent we use.

A positive experience from start to finish. Excellent knowledge of the current market. Friendly and easy to work with and a great communicator.
Fundamentally Both Ali and I had an extremely positive experience with Michael, although it was an enormous privilege for Elders to market Hayward farms a great deal of work was needed to promote such a renowned and historic property. Mike was at all times communicative and honest in his appraisal. Both Ali and I feel Mike achieved the best possible result and we would always highly recommend his services. Our neighbours also decided to market through Mike and achieved a phenomenal result. Tom Marshall.

Thank you for providing an excellent experience and great outcome with our property sale.

Mick was professional in all his dealings yet relaxed in his manner. Communication was a highlight with Mick being available and contactable anytime to keep me informed. Mick is a skilled negotiator with many years’ experience which was a valuable asset at the critical time and reflected in the outcome. I would recommend Mick to any vendor looking for a true rural specialist to market their property.
Michael, thank You so much for your very efficient service and prompt advice. Your knowledge in the local area was very helpful. I would highly recommend you to anyone seeking professional realty advice.
Reflecting upon the successful, and possibly my final major financial transaction. The sale of 256 Baileys Rd, Taminick, is another positive example over many years, of commitment by Elders Staff and management to achieve results. My family started dealing with then Elders, Smith, Goldsborough and Mort back in 1958!! We were always afforded excellent and dedicated service, more importantly made to feel part of the family. This attribute no longer belongs in the modern financial world. Again, Michael your exceptional service far exceeds my gratitude! May I wish you and staff all the very best now, and for the future.
