From the very first introduction to the sale, Rudy provided exemplary service. He was able to get the property to market in a short period. He facilitated tradesmen for minor repairs in a tight market. He understood buyers needs and respective positions. Rudy was always available and incredibly responsive at all times. We would highly recommend Rudy to any prospective seller. Thanks

Hi Sarah and Rudy, I would like to thank you and acknowledge the high level of professional customer service you provided in the recent sale of our apartment. The continuous updates provided on potential buyer activity was reassuring especially as we live interstate. Rudy’s level of customer service was exemplary in accommodating furniture deliveries to the apartment after hours. I would not hesitate in engaging and recommending Sotheby’s for future real estate activities. Regards, Debra Deery

I have the pleasure of providing this testimonial for Rudy Van Der Berg. In early July I referred a corporate client to Rudy. The client was selling a recently renovated property in Middle Park. The property had been listed with a local agent for some three months and an auction in early June had been unsuccessful. Once the exclusive agency period with that agent expired, Rudy began an email campaign to clients already on Sotheby's data base. He identified a potential buyer at the first 'open for inspection'. The property was eventually sold to that buyer within two weeks and without the vendor having to incur further advertising expenses. Importantly, the buyer is also very happy with her purchase. She had not been considering buying in Middle Park until she received the email from Rudy. The client's directors are extremely satisfied with the work undertaken by Rudy and his support team at Sotheby's and unconditionally recommend him and the firm for any property transaction.

I'm so glad I chose Rudy van der Berg as my agent: he was utterly professional, reliable, courteous, respectful and punctual. He updated me immediately after each Open for Inspection and was always happy to listen to my concerns and answer my questions. And he achieved an outstanding price for my property. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

An absolute pleasure to deal with Rudy. He made a difficult process seamless, and handled the entire sale with honesty, candour and efficiency. I will be recommending Rudy to all my associates, and have no hesitation in using his professional services in the future

We felt he really understood us and our expectations. He was patient and was able to get a result in 3 weeks, when we thought our property would be on the market much longer.

Rudy was persistent chasing my business over a protracted period of time. I liked that, because I am a difficult client. He was happy to let us dictate how we went to market, with his input as well. We got a quick result, the price we wanted and the feedback during the process was good. I think Sotheby's Real Estate as a company suits his approach to the market and allows his natural character to come through.

The whole process from start to finish has been carried out in a very professional manner

Rudy is like a breath of fresh air in the world of real estate he is an agent who is first and foremost you can trust. he will do the best for his client and he delivers the best result of sale we were very happy with him and will continue using him for any future sale

I had the pleasure of having Rudy sell my parents home. it was a terrible time for me having lost my father from cancer at that time. Rudy came in a sold the family home with care and there was no problems with selling the house. this was a great relief as it was a big thing to sell the family home.

Rudy Van Der Berg came to my house at a time when I was beginning to think of selling. He explained carefully and convincingly that the marketing method used was superior to others available. This proved to be the case. Within two weeks I had a contract signed. Throughout the process Rudy was sympathetic to my wishes and concerns. At all times I was confident that he had my interest at the forefront of his negotiations. He worked tirelessly to achieve the result I wanted. The company’s methods and Rudy’s application of them meant that the selling of my house was much less stressful then I had anticipated. So a big thank you to Rudy especially for his work on my behalf.

Rudy assisted my partner and I with selling our Melbourne inner city apartment last year. From the first time we met with Rudy we felt that we we were in very capable and trustworthy hands. We very much appreciated Rudy’s openness, clarity and honestly with his knowledge about the property market, and he gave us a very realistic idea of "what to expect". Throughout the selling process Rudy communicated very clearly and kept us in the loop at all times. No question was too much for Rudy so there were no grey areas whatsoever. Rudy's guidance resulted in us selling the property not only fast but also for a price higher than we anticipated, a result of his strong and fair negotiating skills. I’d like to give Rudy full credit for this great sell and I’d strongly recommend him to any potential sellers and buyers. Should we want to buy and sell in the future we will most definitely use Rudy’s services again.
