Testimonial from Ben Vendor 8 Lansell Road, Toorak
Sold in four weeks after 12 months on the market.

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

Testimonial from Purchaser 8 Lansell Road, Toorak
 
The rare agent who values relationships over transactions.

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

Highly recommended for commitment, communication and outstanding results.

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

Testimonial from Michaela Purchaser 322 Walsh Street , Sout h Yarra
Genuine care, deep local knowledge — highly recommended

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

Testimonial from Brad - Vendor 9 Bat es Street , Malvern East
An exceptional outcome in a challenging transaction

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

Testimonial from Vendors of 45a Murphy Street, South Yarra
Five Offers. Boardroom Auction. Off-Market Success.

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

Testimonial from Eva Layt
Invaluable guidance

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
