Debi & Brett Meek

We met Michelle 5 years ago and she was incredibly helpful. It took us over 2 years to sell our house in Mackay to be able to move into Gemlife. There was no pressure from Michelle and she went out of her way to assure us we would eventually get here. I would recommend Michelle to anyone who needs her assistance. She is honest, reliable, flexible and punctual. Thanks again Michelle for all your help.

Jean Hayles

I recently had the pleasure of dealing Michelle while exploring options for an over 50s lifestyle village. From the moment I made contact, I was treated with the utmost respect and professionalism.
Michelle was incredibly knowledgeable about the lifestyle village, its amenities, and the surrounding area.Michelle took the time to understand my needs and preferences, and was able to provide detailed information about the various options available. Her patient, understanding, and never once made me feel rushed or pressured to make a decision.
We brought in gemlife and sold due to illness – silly us
And I am now looking forward to Michelle taking care of me again as I start a new chapter
Back in an over 50 lifestyle

Janette Roy

We’ve known Michelle since moving into Gemlife 4 years ago. Shw has always been so pleasant and friendly to both of us including our dog Nelly. We would recommend Michelle to our family and friends, if they choose to move here, as her knowledge of the village is fantastic as well as knowing most of the resihere.

Geraldine Metcalf

We would like to highly recommend Michelle to anyone considering living in any over 50s lifestyle resort .We met Michelle in 2019 when we bought our Villa and Michelle expertly guided us through the entire process of buying , building , storing furniture and moving into the village. She was always professional, honest and a pleasure to deal with. Over the years she has remained very helpful and a genuinely nice person. We wish her all the best in her new venture.

Karen Ferguson Box

If it wasn’t for Michelle, my husband and I would not be happily living in our new beautiful home now in Bribie Island.
I very much appreciated the professional way Michelle showed us the home we now proudly call our own.
Michelle’s warm, friendly manner when asking what we were looking for in a home, was amazing, as she listened intensely, asked relevant questions without trying to tell us what she thought we should have, which we experienced prior to meeting Michelle.
Michelle showed us great friendly consideration, and respect by going above and beyond during the contract waiting period and kept, not only us up to date, but also reassuring the sellers of the home, as they too needed updates re – settlement as it was during the busy Xmas period.
Both we as buyers and the people selling this home at the time, are not only grateful to you, we also appreciated Michelle’s professionalism and kindness during this stressful time and because of this, everything went through smoothly in the end for both parties.
Without you Michelle, Adrian and I would not be living happily in our beautiful home.
You are welcome anytime.
A huge, thank you Michelle.

Janis Henman-Parnham

My husband and I were lucky enough to be the beneficiaries of Michelle’s wealth of knowledge in the over 50’s Luxury Lifestyle sector. From our first phone call Michelle was always so accommodating as we were relocating from Sydney to beautiful BRIBIE Island. Michelle held our block and desired home design until we arrived a few days later. On our first meeting we signed on the dotted line. After that point as we were new to this concept of living we had lots of questions. Michelle was always happy to help and had the information on hand. Michelle, for us made the move to BI and Gemlife such a wonderful experience. We have now been at GL for 2 1/2 years and have loved every minute. We have made some wonderful friends along the way and cannot recommend Michelle highly enough.

Jane Bruce

We put a same day deposit 2 years ago, to secure our site, after being shown around GemLife by Michelle. She was very professional and caring and allowed us time to look around the facility, without any pressure. Michelle has an excellent knowledge of the area and was able to answer any questions, without hesitation.
Michelle clearly explained as to how long the building process would take and kept us regularly informed as to the progress.
We moved into our beautiful new home, 6 months after signing the Contract.
We would highly recommend Michelle’s services to anyone seeking to buy into an over 50’s lifestyle, simply due to her professionalism, friendly manner and knowledge of the industry.
We wish you every success Michelle!.

I bought my house from Michelle. I have been a Real Estate Agent for 20 years as well as managing Century21 at Redcliffe. I have seen all types of agents, both good and bad.
Michelle is one of the best. She kept me informed, was always available and very professional. I trusted her so much that I bought my house that I love on her recommendation sight unseen other than a video.
You will be impressed and if I had not retired I would not have hesitated to have Michelle on my top team of agents. Jan Brown.

Michelle sold me my Villa at Gemlife. It was a huge decision for me as I’d lived 22 years in my house in Brisbane. Michelle was amazing. She made the process so much easier being empathic, informative and gave me the best advice. I would recommend Michelle to anyone buying or selling their property. I was a Realestate Salesperson for 15 years and there are some salespeople who aren’t that great. she was fantastic.

Heather Dawber

My name is Ian Gibbins. My wife and I first met Michelle Rochow when we were enquiring about GemLife Bribie around 3 years ago.
As we had never experienced this style of resort living it was wonderful to meet Michelle who was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the ‘product’.
We had no hesitation in trusting her with all the tedious factors of purchasing our Villa and now we have asked her to organise and supervise the sale of our Bribie Villa as we move to NSW to be closer to family.
We have found Michelle to be very approachable and helpful and feel her integrity to be beyond question.
We do not hesitate to recommend Michelle as an A1 Sales Consultant.

Ian Gibbins

Purchased our home in Gemlife in 2019.

We purchased our home in GemLife Bribie Island through Michelle Rochow, then sold through Michelle some 4 years later. Michelle is very knowledgeable about the whole over 50s industry.

We have been resident in GemLife for over 6 years, being one of the first to sign up. Michelle has been on the sales team for all that time and has always had a cheerful wave and greeting for us even though she wasn’t the sales representative for us. We are already missing her friendly, bubbly presence.
We are aware that many prospective buyers have appreciated her knowledge of the intricacies of the Manufactured Homes regulations and the particular GemLife conditions and rules.
We are on the welcoming committee for new residents who attest to her expertise, knowledge and helpful advice in their dealings with her.
I have no hesitation in recommending Michelle as being a knowledgeable, pleasant and helpful sales representative.
