Testimonials
We tried to sell our Toorak home for almost 12 months without success, and were feeling
pretty skeptical about the process and a little over it.
Then we engaged Antoinette Nido, from Melbourne Sothebys. From day one, her skills, energy,
professionalism, honesty, diligence and sheer work ethic stood out. She is the hardest
working Agent of any agent we?ve dealt with.
In a challenging market, she sold our home in just four weeks and produced three genuine
offers, something we hadn?t come close to achieving in the previous 12 months.
What impressed us most was how she was absolutely committed to getting the best possible
outcome for us, and she delivered.
She?s smart, hardworking, highly professional, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. We
couldn?t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a very skilled Prestige agent who
genuinely cares and works very hard for her clients. Read More
Antoinette is the rare type of agent who values relationships over transactions. Over a number
of years she took the time to genuinely understand my personality and exact requirements,
never wasting my time with unsuitable opportunities.
She rarely put properties forward, but when she did, I always gave them serious consideration
because of the trust and respect she had built. The property I ultimately purchased was an
off-market opportunity she introduced to me after it had sat unsuccessfully on the open
market with another agency for the better part of a year. I was not even an active buyer at the
time, however Antoinette immediately recognised its suitability for me and gave me visibility
to an opportunity I otherwise would never have pursued.
Professional, intelligent and exceptionally polished in the way she conducts herself, Antoinette
represents everything a high-quality agent should be. Read More
We had a wonderful experience working with Antoinette Nido and the team at Melbourne Sotheby's International Realty throughout the sale of our property. From start to finish, the communication was excellent, and we were kept well informed at every stage, which made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. We felt genuinely supported and at ease the entire time, and what stood out most was the team's professionalism, care, and dedication. The outcome was very satisfactory given the market conditions, and we felt they negotiated strongly on our behalf to achieve a positive result. We would highly recommend Antoinette Nido and the team for their commitment, communication, and outstanding results. Read More
Dealing with Antoinette Nido has been nothing short of amazing. Her service and
communication were professional and efficient, and she made me feel at ease throughout the
entire process, understanding that this was a big step and commitment for me.
What stood out the most was Antoinette's genuine care for my family's needs. Her attention
to detail and knowledge about the area made me feel comfortable in trusting the process with
her. I would certainly recommend Antoinette and Sotheby's Melbourne to anyone making one
of the most important purchases of their lives.
We look forward to this new stage in our lives and thank Antoinette and her team immensely
for helping to make it happen. Read More
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. Read More
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 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
