Max Ruttner was engaged to sell our home at 9 Bates Street, Malvern East. The
circumstances were far from straightforward. Max was presented with a situation that was
both emotionally and practically challenging from the outset. However, despite those
challenges, I believe the final result speaks for itself.
What stood out most to me was Max?s ability to remain calm, professional and focused
under significant pressure. He successfully managed a complex dynamic between multiple
parties while still keeping the campaign moving forward.
Most importantly, Max delivered an outstanding sales result in a difficult market
environment. Despite economic uncertainty, rising interest rates and softer high-end buyer
sentiment, he was able to secure a strong written offer and then negotiate a significant
increase to achieve a sale within our advertised range. I was extremely happy with the final
outcome.
I would describe Max as resilient, composed, commercially astute and highly determined to
get a deal done. While the process itself was not always easy given the circumstances, he
achieved an exceptional outcome and deserves considerable credit for that.
Yes, I would recommend Max, particularly for high-value or challenging transactions where
negotiation skill, persistence and professionalism are critical.
