Sales & Leasing Testimonials

Great Communication!

“I am the director of Nature’s Gift Australia Pty Ltd, a manufacturer and supplier of pet food products.

We were looking to sell our property at Blaxland Avenue, Thomastown and spoke with several real estate agents.

Bryce Williams from Rutherfords Real Estate provided the best plans to sell our property.

The property was on the market for two weeks and we had two firm offers for the property in that time.

We found it easy to communicate with Bryce, which made the sale very straight forward.

I would highly recommend Bryce Williams from Rutherfords for any commercial real estate needs.

Authentic Agents!

“We have a run a specialist freight and logistics services company in Melbourne’s inner and outer west for close 30 years. After almost three decades of leasing, our last long term lease expired in 2019. We decided the time had come to seriously consider the business case for an industrial property purchase. As a result of record low interest rates, and a buoyant but not (yet) overpriced industrial market the numbers were truly compelling, provided we were able to head a little more to the West than we anticipated. Our interest cost is now one third our previous rental plus outgoings cost. Rutherfords represented the vendors on the industrial property we purchased. This property could probably be best described as “atypical” of the usual stock in the Truganina area in terms of both fitout, and use of the site footprint. Although in some ways it would have been a tough listing, we are grateful that the Rutherfords team, ably lead by Drew Williams, and assisted by Michael Tozer, persisted with the parties and facilitated what has been in the end a great outcome for both vendor and purchaser. We also have to make comment on the regular videos posted by the team on the website which provide market commentary. Guys, these are authentic and very watchable, but most of all your comments on the industrial market are spot on, well done, and look forward to viewing many future episodes!”

No fuss sale!

“As an owner and the representative for the other owners I was asked to sell our warehouse at 32-36 Capital link Drive Campbellfield, which we built in 1999.

Following submissions from selected Agents we chose Bryce Williams of Rutherfords Real Estate to sell the property.

The sale authority was signed Friday 18 October 2019, the campaign was fully operational by Wednesday 23 October, Heads of Agreement with a buyer was signed Friday 1 November with the sale being unconditional on Wednesday 6 November 2019; all completed with a minimum of fuss inside three weeks; with a result that bettered our expectations.

Bryce’s leadership, knowledge, communication and attention to detail is what drove the process and led to the very satisfactory outcome.

I would highly recommend Bryce Williams and Rutherfords Real Estate to any prospective sellers.”

A big thank you to Bryce and his team. I can and will highly recommend Rutherford Real Estate.”

Quick Responses & Kept up to Date!

“When it came time to sell our commercial properties, our natural response was to let Rutherford sell on our behalf as they were the managing agents. I started dealing with Bryce from Rutherford for the sale. Covid had just started and Bryce suggested we could go with an off-market campaign. I wasn't sure if this would yield any result, but amazingly Bryce was able to locate and negotiate with interested buyers and very quickly! He kept me updated all the way through and got me a price I was very happy with! Bryce and Rutherfords definitely have breadth of expertise and professionalism when it comes to commercial properties in the northern suburbs. Highly recommend”

Trust!

“Impressed with the professionalism and constant updates from Drew. After dealing with one or two other agents before him, I just felt that I could trust him and he proved me right. Service was excellent, followed up on everything I asked for promptly and when we hit a snag with my buyer needing to wait for his FIRB Approval to conclude the deal, Drew had laid out options ready to go if the approval did not come through. I would definitely use Drew again if I was buying or selling commercial property in Melbourne”

— - Errol Goldberg

Outstanding Process & Communication!

“We recently sold a large distribution center (and relocated our premises) in Melbourne and while this can be very stressful, Drew perfectly facilitated the process.

He was candid, provided great feedback and managed the actual sale negotiation brilliantly! In addition, he was extremely responsive to every one of my queries, no matter how trivial or how often I called/emailed him.

Would highly recommend Rutherford's Real Estate to anyone considering selling, purchasing or leasing a commercial property.”

It was listed with another agency as well but I never heard from them at all, I was the one chasing up on the process, I had bad experience with my purchase transaction as a lot of agreements were made but nothing executed- (he had commission breath!!) being in the industry for a long time now I know what it takes.

Keep up your great work mate.”
