Testimonial from Patch Garnaut
Max and Antoinette are a formidable team.

Max Ruttner and Antoinette Nido from Melbourne Sothebys International Realty sold our home at 7 Kensington Road South Yarra. We engaged them because we had full confidence in their ability to close a sale in a slow buyer’s market. We were very happy with their unrelenting, consistent and diligent efforts from start to finish, they left no stone unturned to secure a sale where many other listings in the area remain unsold months later.

Their work was first class from the outset, they facilitated the preparation and presentation of our home to showcase it at its best through their dedicated team, which was a seamless, effortless and easy experience for us. Communication was clear, honest and factual, keeping us updated of who the buyers were and their level of interest throughout the process.

This dynamic duo really shone when managing the buyers throughout the Campaign process, their genuine teamwork, male and female combination and complimentary skills and expertise were a real asset to us as Vendors.

The purchaser originally had said “no” to having interest in our house, but they worked the buyer pool well together and ensured that all buyers were given a final opportunity to inspect and then managed to swing the eventual purchaser back onto the home, maintain competitive tension and close the deal.

Max and Antoinette are a formidable team in the market and an asset to their Vendors, they have high professional standards, work hard, are genuine, and great to deal with. We highly recommend this powerhouse team for results and a stress free experience Read More
