About me

Michael began his real estate career in 2006, at just 18 years old. But he handmade his unofficial debut well before this, growing up in the family business. Michael stepped into a director position in 2018 to honour the family legacy and weave his own inclusive, heart-driven leadership style into Nitschke’s future.

Michael plays an active role in listing and selling properties, while guiding the growing team through the company’s next 20-year chapter. While a multi award-winning real estate agent, Michael views his greatest successes in the day-to-day satisfaction of his clients living their dream lifestyle.

You can expect more than just a transaction with Michael selling your home. He cares about the whole experience. Accessible and empathetic, Michael gets the results you envision while he’s guiding you through to the next life chapter.

Real estate is about people after all. And Michael’s refreshingly down-to-earth philosophy is what the industry calls for. And more importantly, what people want.

Michael also keeps it real as a father of two young girls, Peyton and Harper, and husband to the lovely Kat.

We selected Michael after a careful search to find an agent that we thought was best for us. It was the right choice. Michael's professionalism, knowledge of the market, the support systems he has developed and his sensitivity to our needs all came together to achieve a wonderful outcome. Our home was presented beautifully, the sales program flowed perfectly and our place sold in 6 days. Michael's agency also offered great value. We would have no hesitation in recommending Michael and his team.

There was no pressure to enter into an overpriced marketing strategy and we were kept updated through the whole process. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

We chose Michael as he has a reputation of being an area specialist (Mount Barker and surrounds). We hoped that he’d be able to sell our property quickly and for the best possible price. He was able to achieve a price way over what we thought was possible, using only his internal advertising. We found Michael to be a lovely bloke with exceptional communication (which was important to us!) and he gave us great advice about how to prepare the property, which ultimately helped with the sale.

Michael and the team are very knowledgeable of the local area and did not overvalue the property. The business processes appear very efficient and the media quality for the adverts was great.

His knowledge was exemplary and on point not just in the Mt Barker area but in the market trends of the moment. He was able to tell us what to improve and not improve to our property to get the absolute best sales outcome , which was so beneficial as we weren’t spending money on the property that would not be regained in the sale price .
