Professional, Genuine, and Someone You Can Truly Trust

Professional, Genuine, and Someone You Can Truly Trust

Working with Max was such a positive experience. From the very beginning, he made what could have been a stressful process feel manageable and straightforward. He communicated clearly throughout, always keeping me updated and taking the time to answer any questions I had, no matter how small. What really stood out to me was how genuine and approachable he is. Max is easy-going, friendly, and down-to-earth, yet always professional. He has a real depth of knowledge and confidence in what he does, and I always felt I was in capable hands. I never felt like just another client. Max genuinely cared about helping me achieve the best outcome, and his support and guidance made all the difference. I'm incredibly grateful for everything he did and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate agent they can truly trust.

Friendly efficiency done with style.

Friendly efficiency done with style.

Max is very approachable. In the initial assessment he was honest without being judgemental and throughout the process was supportive and responsive. He gave clear guidance for work to be done prior to the first open homes and he presented our home positively to each potential purchaser. His marketing package, particularly the video, was excellent. At all times he went above and beyond expected to ensure we had a good experience in this stressful process. Overall, Max is a talented salesperson and a thoroughly nice man. We highly recommend this seller to be your agent for your next sale. We would also like to mention Bridgette, who was our auctioneer and starred in the video with Max. She is extremely skilled, also friendly and inspired confidence in us to gain an excellent result on the day. Honorable mention for the photographer/videographer, excellent job done, thank you (the quiet hero of house sales). Also for Naushad who took the open homes while Max was away for a few days. His communication and feedback were also great. Well done and thank you to all of you.

Patience of a Saint

We first met Max John at an open home he was holding for another colleague. We were possibly only window shopping at the time but he projected a warming professional attitude and was very comfortable to talk with. Months later when we thought it was time to sell my house, we had kept Max John in mind and thought he would be a good option to sell with. Great choice actually. We weren’t ready to sell as it seemed. Max John steered us in the right direction though. With good advice and recommendations, we finally got it ready for sale. 9 months passed from our original meeting on selling the house, no pressure, just advice and support. There was one more hurdle to overcome. We had bought a new home in that time. With the old home void of any furnishings, Max John stepped up to the plate. Max John devised a sale plan, staged the house for us and put it to market on a deadline sale. The house looked great. Through Max John’s efforts and support, we achieved a very successful sale. A huge thank you from us both. Scott and Fran

Best property manager in town

Best property manager in town

My dream was to buy a house in this vicinity; Max made it possible. I never thought my dream would come true. Max made sure all the boxes were ticked. He was always available to answer any question I had. Max is simply the best property manager I've known until now. He knows his work. Not only he has helped us with property related questions, his amazing knowledge and expertise also helped us with the move and other related jobs.
