Testimonials
Second time working with Max — highly personable, trustworthy, hardworking. Openly shares all buyer feedback and consistently engages and discusses sale strategy with you as owners. -First sale was after property had been with another agent for an extended period. Achieved fantastic price through private sale. Got 5 offers negotiated price up with all 5 before pivoting to successful Boardroom auction with 2 highest value buyers. Great strategy and it achieved a great outcome. -Second sale achieved off-market in 2 weeks after 5 different buyer inspections. Max had a group of interested parties ready to engage. He successfully negotiated up a keen buyer on price with great momentum and exceptional access to property (7am, Sundays, early evenings) . Provided quality advice on value and strategy on quick sale off market or go to full sale process given competing properties in the street. In summary Max is an absolute professional with integrity and high energy. Would hire him again tomorrow Read More

I first contacted Max Ruttner while considering downsizing. Throughout the process he kept me informed of suitable properties and provided invaluable guidance. When it came time to sell, Max recommended a professional team to prepare my home for the market and executed a clear strategic marketing plan.
His professionalism, market knowledge and negotiating skills made the whole process seamless. His team maintained constant communication with me and he was always available to address any concerns. Beyond his expertise, Max is personable, trustworthy and genuinely committed to his clients' best interests.
I highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling. Read More
I first received a call from Max Ruttner when he sold 55 Somers Avenue Malvern in 2020.Fast forward five years, it was time to sell my home, and Max had consistently kept me informed about the market during that time. Over the years, I observed his significant growth and expertise in the field. When looking for an agent, I wanted someone who was the right fit for my home and the target buyer demographics, and most importantly, a dedicated and driven individual who would work diligently to achieve the best possibleprice. Trusting my intuition, I appointed Max and his team (Antoinette and Julia) from Melbourne Sotheby's to handle the sale of our home in Malvern.
My intuition proved correct - the team delivered. Max and Antoinette work very well together, their skill sets are complimentary... they are a "great team"! The campaign was outstanding from the beginning. Max genuinely cares and was very responsive and efficient, paying attention to every detail. Their team was also a great help in preparing the home, taking our home from 70% to 110%, which was a significant benefit. Max is authentic, hardworking, and a strong negotiator who fought for every last dollar! We sold our family home for a record price, and we couldn't be happier with the entire process and outcome. Thank you for your hard work and fantastic result, Max! Read More
