Michaels colchester

Real people. Real knowledge. A better way to move.

The Michaels Way

Michaels was founded on straightforward values – honest advice, strong presentation and genuine local knowledge. We believe moving home should feel clear and manageable, not overwhelming.

From our Head Street branch in central Colchester, we’ve been part of the community since 2013. Our team lives here, knows the area intimately and treats every sale or search as if it were their own.

Local people, real expertise

The Michaels Way

People-first, start to finish

We listen first, then guide you with honest advice, weekly updates, and feedback within 24 hours of every viewing. No long tie-ins. No sale, no fee. Just clear communication and calm progress from valuation to completion.

Marketing that makes your home stand out

Professional photography and video (including drone), crafted write-ups, floorplans and premium portal placement—plus high-quality brochures where they matter.

Local Roots, Real results

Independent and North-Essex focused, with teams in Colchester, Wivenhoe, Braintree (and Halstead) - people who live here, know the streets, and care about the community. One roof for sales, lettings & management, and mortgages - so every move is simpler.
