For almost three decades, Michael Ataman has been helping families buy and sell property throughout Auckland's eastern suburbs. During that time he has guided thousands of successful transactions across Meadowbank, Remuera, St Johns, Glendowie and the surrounding neighbourhoods, earning a reputation built on experience, sound judgement and consistently delivering results.
Originally trained as an engineer, Michael approaches real estate with a level of preparation and analytical thinking that clients quickly come to appreciate. Every campaign is carefully considered, every recommendation is backed by experience, and every decision is made with one objective in mind: achieving the very best outcome for his clients.
What clients value most, however, isn't simply Michael's experience. It's his judgement.
Anyone can sell property when conditions are easy. Experience becomes invaluable when markets become uncertain, buyers hesitate and every decision matters. Having successfully navigated multiple market cycles, Michael understands how buyer behaviour changes, how confidence is created and how to adapt strategy to maximise competition and achieve the strongest possible result.
His role extends well beyond marketing and negotiation. Long before a property reaches the market, Michael is already thinking about how buyers will see it. Sometimes that means recommending improvements. Sometimes it means advising vendors not to spend another dollar. Knowing the difference often makes all the difference.
Working alongside his daughter, Tatyana, Michael has created something increasingly rare in today's real estate industry: a genuine family business built on trust, accountability and long-term relationships. Together they combine decades of experience with modern marketing, technology and communication, ensuring every client receives personal attention throughout the entire journey.
Many of Michael's clients have worked with him more than once. Many have introduced family, friends and colleagues. That loyalty hasn't been created through advertising or promises. It has been earned through honest advice, careful planning and consistently delivering results when it matters most.
Experience doesn't guarantee a better result. Knowing how and when to apply that experience often does.

Book a Property AppraisalA huge thanks to you for managing the sale of our home. You handled the entire process, from the marketing campaign right through to the auction in the most professional and transparent manner imaginable. We couldn’t have asked for more.

As with the sale of my previous property I followed your advice and assistance with presenting the house for sale and this resulted in a wide range of potential purchasers who viewed the property. Your marketing plan worked perfectly and the result was a sale price beyond my expectations.

Michael gave us straight, honest feedback and we made decisions together. On the day of the Auction his experience and poise were obvious and he worked hard to get us the best price.

Michael, It is starting to really sink in that we have SOLD! You and your lovely wife were such a major part, if not all, of the sale process and Nikki & I really appreciate all you have done. We had our moments but it came together in the end. Thanks.
