Rob was a great communicator throughout the sale period and his recommendations on marketing initiatives and method of sale delivered an excellent result.

We recently sold a property through Rob Curtain at Sotheby's. Rob and his team made the process a seemless one where we were regularly informed of their progress, all communications with us were conducted professionally and informatively. This all culminated in an excellent result. We have no hesitation in recommending Rob to others.

Rob and his team were friendly, professional and focused on achieving an outstanding result. Well done and thanks for making the sale process smooth and effective.

I know we said thank you after the auction of 8 Weeroona Avenue Portsea on Saturday but I want to make it a bit more formal than that. The way you managed the sale process was as close to perfect as one could get. You persisted in your recommendation to do more than I thought necessary in the presentation of the property. It was certainly the right call and, now with the benefit of hindsight, I can see why you pressed on with that recommendation despite some resistance by me. What really impressed me was the level of communication in explaining what you wanted done and why you thought it would add value to the property. The reasons were clearly explained and that convinced me to go with your recommendations. There is no doubt that the money spent in the presentation was returned manyfold in the sale price. The marketing of the property could not have been better. I had many comments that people had seen the property mentioned in the media on multiple occasions. Anyone even remotely interested knew of the sale. The photos, website and brochures made the place look exceptional. You and your staff were ultra-reliable and kept us fully informed of what was going on. Your recommendation about the sale by private auction was exactly right for this situation. The end result was a sale price at the top end of our range of expectation. On behalf of all the Woods family, many thanks for a job better than well done.

Very professional, extremely knowledgeable, accessible and attentive at all times

We sold our property at the price we asked on the first open day. Rob told us he would try to get the price but thought it might be a stretch. But we followed his advice in preparing the house for sale and got an immediate result. Highly recommend Rob and his team to anyone selling in the area.


Rob was honest in his appraisal of my property. he always communicated and keep me informed of any progress Highly recommended for those looking for an honest assessment of there property and and best result

There were two properties involved in a cul-de-sac in a unique position virtually in the township of Sorrento, with views over Port Phillip and with development opportunities. The properties were for sale for many months before Rob’s appointment, handled by two prominent agencies in the area and at great cost to us and with no bids at all. Rob showed clearly and quickly that he understood the opportunity and just as importantly those parties to whom the properties would appeal. He eschewed the traditional and expensive methods used by the other agencies, that had clearly failed, and secured a sale satisfactory to us in a short time and at reasonable cost. He clearly demonstrated to us that he thoroughly understood the market and the appropriate method of identifying and interesting buyers. He was also an excellent communicator and easily accessible. The follow up and communications by his staff must also be commended. We would certainly recommend him and his staff to anyone wishing to buy or sell on the Peninsular.

We engaged Rob as the second agent in the sale of our unique property in Blairgowrie , which had been on the market for six months. . He recreated a marketing process that included an outstanding video and splendid new brochure . His approach was expansive and included a wide range of contacts . He was highly competent, transparent , very personable, and ultimately a fine negotiator . We could not recommend Rob more highly .

We recently completed a sale and then a purchase in the Portsea/Sorrento area. The ability to evaluate Rob in the sale and purchase environment left us in no doubt that we had chosen the correct agent. Representing us as a seller and a buyer we appreciated his knowledge, diligence and support.

I liked the way Rob Curtain treated me as a buyer - no hedging, no sudden surges in price etc, and I decided that, as a vendor, I would like him to give straight answers to my potential buyers when I sold my house too. It seemed to work, because Rob sold my house quickly and I got a fair price.
