Dealing with Marco and the team at Peninsula Sotheby has been great experience. Marco is very knowledgeable about the Peninsula market and takes time to understand a buyers requirements and position. Marco makes himself readily available, is easy to talk to and his simple and uncomplicated approach is effective. I'd highly recommend dealing with Marco should you be in the Peninsula market.

We were 100% happy with everything. The marketing was excellent, photos and stying on point. Sotheby’s team, Rob, Danielle, Marco, John and office staff could not be more helpful. They are a very professional and efficient team to deal with from start to finish. A special mention to Danielle and John for going above and beyond, getting a great price and selling within 2 weeks.

I found Marco to be highly professional and easy to deal with. He went out of his way to find buyers which ended in good results.

Marco went above and beyond to help prepare the property for sale (including getting out a whipper snipper and tidying edges before a photo shoot). We were interstate and he kept us informed and followed up on all details. The property sold well, and no doubt due to his friendly, professional demeanor.

Marco is a professional. He knew that this property had intrinsic merit with expansive views, acreage, and a tired but liveable house with potential to propagate a vineyard. Or two. He also knew that this was a rare opportunity for the right client. Despite apparent discordant views on price and methodology of sale, Marco managed to expertly navigate an intricate family dynamic to yield a deal - while rich - to convince me, as a buyer to place an ‘adequate’ bid got seal the deal. Marco is a consummate professional. Probably could sell Porsches’ just as well, but in the end, I was very happy. with the outcome. Top effort, Marco - We both won :)

We recently engaged Hamish Opray, in the sale of our property in Merricks North on the Mornington Peninsula. Hamish was so polite and helpful throughout the whole process, making us feel as though we were his only client. His knowledge of the local real estate environment was second to none. His honesty and integrity we would not question. Would have no hesitation in recommending Hamish. Happy clients Rob and Lucy Heath

Rob’s communication with us was frequent and kept us updated with prospective buyers.

Our property was unique in that it was designed for us and for breeding, spelling and agisting horses. We wanted someone who could appreciate not only what we had built but was focussed on what the market wanted and was not constrained by our perception of that market. Rob listened to our hopes, managed our expectations and guided us through the COVID calamity. Overall his deep knowledge of the market was on full display and his wise counsel delivered on our demanding requirements. No over-promising, no false hope just solid advice leading to a sale meeting (possibly exceeding) our wishes in every respect.

Hamish gave us a realistic price range to market the property, provided immediate feedback on each inspection, had his team assist with styling to ensure the house presented well and negotiated a great sale price. His no fuss, relaxed approach ensured we had confidence in allowing Sothebys to market and sell our most valuable asset. I couldn't recommend Hamish Opray and the team at Sothebys more highly.

Robs market estimate on pricing our property was right on where we sold it for. He was extremely responsive and agile to the market given we went in to lock down (stage 4 restrictions) two weeks into our campaign. His open and honest communication to all parties I believe was the fundamental reason this property sold during such trying times - vendor was happy and purchaser was also happy. His advice to us was unemotional, factual and to the point - which I appreciated and it helped make this a seamless low stress highly serviced transaction by both Rob and his team.

Rob was sensitive in his initial approach to me and thereafter very positive without embellishments. He undoubtedly knew his market and it gave me great confidence and peace of mind knowing he was in charge . Congratulations to Rob and Sotheby’s International Realty - Sorrento. I can not recommend Rob highly enough .
