Can highly recommend Cottage and Castle as a buyer's agency. Sven provided me with professional, well-considered advice and assistance in purchasing a property that I am incredibly happy with. Importantly he saved me time, got me to consider a broader range of properties than I was initially looking at and helped me to buy a house that was both good value and a great place to live.

Sven is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I had severe real estate fatigue after looking (for over 3 months!) when I was recommended Sven's assistance. With Sven's help I purchased my new home in under 3 weeks! I cannot thank you enough Sven.

Sven was absolutely incredible throughout the entire buying process. From the start, he was fully committed, constantly going above and beyond to ensure I found the perfect home. His knowledge of the Melbourne market was second to none, and he really took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for. His attention to detail was amazing, and he kept me informed every step of the way. When it came to negotiating time, Sven�s skill and persistence shone through. He managed to secure an unbelievable deal, well below market price, and I was over the moon! His communication was always clear, and he made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. I can't recommend Sven highly enough�he�s truly the best at what he does, and I�m beyond grateful for his hard work and dedication!

We were purchasers. We had originally been looking in the Elwood area, then extended to neighbouring suburbs. Over more than seven months we met many agents from many firms. Sven was the stand-out. Things which might have been inconvenient for him were cheerily done; he is delightfully straight and most pleasant and thoroughly professional. He was the vendors' agent, but he was certainly non-adversarial, he's the most credible and pleasant agent who we dealt with.

Sven exceeded our expectations in both his professionalism and level of service. But it was his attention to detail and work ethic that really caught our attention. Sven also assisted us with our renovation while we were away, which was instrumental in the success of our sale. But most surprising, was his sense of humour which really alleviated the nerves involved when selling at auction. We had a great time, and I'll miss the banter with the German...Thanks Sven.

Easy to work with, knowledgable, supportive, made me feel very comfortable

I would buy and sell with Sven any time exclusively

Sven was persistent and excellent with his follow through, whilst maintaining a cheeky sense of humour.

Wonderful service and great agent

Extremely professional and approachable. Knows the market thoroughly. Great and easy to deal with.

It has been a pleasure to work with Sven Fischer, who is managing the sale of my property in Elsternwick. I had previously purchased the property through Sven, and it was his professionalism and knowledge of the local market, along with the exceptional job that Biggin & Scott has done with managing the tenancy of the property, that influenced my choice of agent. He was particularly helpful with managing the communication with my tenant and maintaining a very positive and cooperative relationship with her during the inspections. Sven kept me well informed and up to date throughout the sale and offered insightful advice at key points in the process. I trusted the guidance that he and Biggin & Scott offered on the way forward through the challenges of offering a property without vacant possession and the negotiations with the purchaser. I am very happy that the sale is proceeding on track.

He is highly knowledgeable and professional and his understanding of the market was extremely impressive. The whole process was made so much less stressful thanks to his professional, sound practice and guidance and he achieved a great result for us .

You will not find another real estate agent as committed and result driven as Sven.

Sven has been quite informative and a lovely person to engage with. He has helped out in every way I needed. Sven has a calming nature and is approachable, kind and honest. I appreciated Sven’s help.

Sven was very professional to deal with. The continual communication update and follow up was prompt and accurate. A pleasure to deal with. No hesitation in using Sven again.

From the start of the campaign Sven kept us up to date after every inspection and contacted us a week before the auction with a very satisfactory price given the turbulence in the market a very good sale

In what is currently a frankly dire market where buyers hid and when they did show up evaporated just as quickly, he just kept working & working & working at it. He chased down every lead, answered every enquiry & made himself available to anybody who wanted an inspection at any time. And when a sale fell through, he kept trying until a sale was successful.

Sven was very approachable and honest. He and the team at Biggin and Scott kept us informed of the progress throughout all inspections. Nothing was a problem and we appreciated that.

I chose Sven and Bill to act as agents for my client. They did a superb job. Highly communicative and excellent follow up. The process was seem less and the result was outstanding

Being a home owner (with my brother and sister), selling a property for the first time was a very daunting thought and experience for me. From day one Sven’s expertise and experience shone through always putting me at ease, guiding me all the way through the selling process. There was no obstacle too hard for him to overcome, especially during these tough COVID lockdowns, and no questions ever went unanswered without clarity. Updates were regularly given, advice was always sound and promises were followed through. Sven’s knowledge of the local area and professionalism is definitely an asset that can not be faulted. Results on the sale of my property far exceeded all expectations and I couldn’t be happier. Feeling very grateful to Sven and all his team for all the hard work put in at all times and the amazing results you achieved for Mark, Julie and I. I will have no hesitation in highly recommending you and your team to anyone wanting to sell or buy property and I look forward to dealing with you again in the future. Thank you so much Sven.

We really enjoyed working with Sven. Throughout the whole process, we could tell he was across and exploring all possible avenues during the campaign. All of the advice and recommendations were very considered and genuine as well. Communication was a breeze and we felt very up to date as things were progressing into the lead-up to the auction.

Sven was an absolute pleasure to deal with! He would return calls promptly and provided all requested information without delay. I felt very comfortable in my dealings with him. Great experience!

Sven made the process of selling my property a very easy one. He was calm, informed and communicated well all I needed to know and then some. Nothing was a bother. He has also been instrumental in assisting me with the next stage - buying a home. Thank you Sven.

Sven has been a great asset in selling our property. He's very professional and yet still maintains a good personal connection. Sven was always available to walk us through a sometimes stressful process. Most importantly, Sven developed an upfront and honest repoire with us. Something missing in many of the agents in the area we dealt with.

I was extremely pleased with the manner in which Sven handled the promotion and sale of my Aunt's unit in Hampton. His confident approach made me feel very confident in reaching a successful auction sale. Sven worked diligently in promoting the property and carried out many, many inspections. he regularly reported on the progress and comments from the buyers. It was indeed a very good outcome.

Sven Fischer has provided exceptional service as he guided me through every aspect of purchasing a home in Docklands. His market insights were critical throughout the process. His industry contacts meant the process of searching and purchasing was quick and smooth. His guidance didn’t stop once the contract was signed - he generously provided contacts and help as I prepared to move into the apartment. What a great experience with such a talented, friendly expert - thanks Sven.

From the very start, Sven exhibited professionalism and had a defined process especially designed for effective communication and thorough property inspections. This was very important to us as first-time property buyers & with an infant. He patiently guided us through the entire process, explaining what to look for during property inspections & what type of infrastructure, location etc. would make a profitable deal for us. Sven took ownership of the entire process, including property searches, inspections, building inspections, and negotiations. His expertise and dedication made the experience seamless and stress-free, even while managing our responsibilities at home with our infant. We highly recommend Sven for his professionalism and ability to make the home-buying process enjoyable. He is a true professional in every sense of the word & we look forward to our forever association with him __

Sven was very easy to get along with. He was honest, friendly and helpful. He was very supportive during the process of buying. It was much easier going through this process because of his non-aggressive and gentle approach.

Unflappable, reliable, thoroughly knowledgeable and personable professional, of a broad general culture, who puts his heart and soul into achieving the desired outcome for the client. Could not be recommended more highly.

Sven was just great to deal with, he is by far the most genuine, warm and friendly person we have dealt with in the real estate industry. Highly knowledgable and professional, always happy to take our calls at all hours. We bought our new home through him and were so impressed with his conduct that we used him to sell our existing property. Highly recommended.

I found my experience with Sven to be professional and always very respectful. Sven is a true gentleman!

Professional gentleman with great communication skills

Sven was always helpful in his expert advice and we appreciated his positive attitude throughout.

Sven is a great agent, always attentive and personable.

Sven did a great job in achieving what I wanted. He is attentive, friendly and very approachable. I would highly recommend him.

Sven has been an incredibly knowledgeable and helpful agent. He diligently kept us informed throughout the entire campaign and made pragmatic suggestions on how to show our property in the best possible light. When it came to crunch time (i.e. auction time) - Sven was on hand to skillfully navigate us through the final steps to getting the deal done. Highly recommend!

Sven was very professional from begging to end of the campaign. I am extremely grateful for his great work.

We are very happy with the service provided to us by Sven. From start to finish he was supportive and caring, keeping us updated regularly on how things were progressing. We found him to be honest in his approach when it came to the property market and guided us through the whole process offering genuine advice. Last but not least he is a really nice guy! Which made it easy to have a connection not only on a professional level but on a personal one too. We never felt for one moment to be just clients for Sven

From day one Sven showed a great deal of professionalism in every aspect of selling our unit in Brighton. His knowledge, communication and understanding of what we expected on the sale of the property reached an outcome high above our expectations. Great work Sven and your team on a great result. Will not hesitate to recommend you and your hard working team!! Thanking you Mark Furlong.

Sven and his team provided us with a brilliant service and achieved us an amazing result. The marketing advice, OFI representation and negotiation of our pre-auction offer made clear the benefit of employing a commisioned agent. I can very highly recommend the team at Biggin and Scott Elsternwick

Sven worked in conjunction with Bill Stavrakis to sell my property. They were a well coordinated team. Sven worked diligently on inspections and follow up on enquiries and had a good handle on the number of serious buyers. That informed the auction day strategy. Sven was a very good communicator. A great outcome was achieved on suction day.

Sven was easy to deal with and made the experience easier. Communicated very well and prompt follow up. Highly recommended.

I would definitely recommend Sven / Biggin & Scott to sell my next house.

Sven was involved in the marketing of our recent auction and we couldn't have asked for better. His professionalism shone through in his marketing campaign and kept us up to date as to where we were at. Between him and Bill Stavrakis we were led in the right direction and we were pleased with the final outcome. We would have absolutely no hesitation in using this team again in the future.

I sold my house ( 32 Shoobra rd ) in Elsternwick prior to auction. Biiggin & Scott was the real eastate agency and Sven FIscher was the real estate agent. Sven was higly recommended: a recommendation acted upon. He is a personable person. He is committed to the process, communicates well with the seller and family, potential buyer/s and the BIggin Scott team. Team communication was a prerequisite in these covid times when selling my house. I was very happy with the result and the consultative approach that Sven took with myself, the 32 Shooba team and potential buyers. I would not hesitate to recommend Sven and theBIggin and Scott team.

Sven was friendly , professional and got the results we were looking for.Thank yo

In the last 8 weeks we almost bought a house from Sven, then actually did buy a house from Sven and then sold our current house with Sven so it's fair to say it's been Sven-Fest around here lately. Honest, extremely professional and nice - sometimes you only get to pick two but Sven is all three. Got where we were coming from and got the job done. Couldn't ask for anything more. Thanks Sven (and Angelos) would recommend them and Biggin & Scott any day of the week.

Sven is a very knowledgeable agent with an easy going manner. Any concerns I had were quickly resolved. Nothing was too much trouble. As a result of this, the selling process was relatively stress free.

Sven communicated promptly, clearly and with respect throughout the sales process. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services to others

Sven was diligent, courteous and very thorough in his preparation and feedback concerning the successful sale of my property. He did so in the most difficult of covid 19 environment and was a person who most importantly I realised I could trust, concerning his recommendations and proposals...I have no hesitation in recommending him and his firm to any potential vendors.

It was great working with Sven! He went above and beyond to help us buy our first home. He provided advice, identified pros and cons of various properties, attended inspections, dealt with vendors� agents, and successfully bid on the property on our behalf. Sven is knowledgeable, professional, and easy to talk to.

Our first experience of buying a home with a property advocate after living for 40 years in one family home and needing to downsize. Sven offered knowledgeable and tactful advice, listening to our needs and always positive and helpful. A great outcome after just a few weeks of targeted searching under his guidance - thank you Sven! It showed us that a skilled property advocate can really take the burden off people in our position.

We found Sven to be extremely helpful when we bought our first property. He always took time for a chat, kept us informed and guided us through every step of the way. Sven made us feel like valued clients and we'd completely trust and recommend him

Great to work with Sven, a hardworking and diligent agent. I greatly respected his integrity and devotion to the job at hand , a wonderful communicator.

Sven was a great resource throughout. His professional approach and commitment to detail helped us to remain confident and optimistic. His availability in helping find and sort what was needed was very encouraging and appreciated.

One of the hard to find, genuine, truthful real estate agents

Sven has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the area, is a great communicator and is tireless in getting a strong result for his clients.

Sven was very professional to deal with. The continual communication update and follow up was prompt and accurate. A pleasure to deal with. No hesitation in using Sven again.

Goes above and beyond the call of duty, very pleased, thank you.

Sven is very efficient in his work.

Sven was highly organised and extremely professional throughout the campaign.

I found Sven to be a marvelous communicator. He was assiduous about keeping me fully informed on interest in the house and I always felt he had my interests at heart. In the end the house sold for more than we had anticipated. He had an intelligent understanding of vendor and buyers.

Very good professional knowledge. Very polite and professional in every contact in meetings and any conversation with us. Also honest and open in discussing any details. Focused on achieving satisfactory result for the owner.

We really enjoyed working with Sven. Throughout the whole process, we could tell he was across and exploring all possible avenues during the campaign. All of the advice and recommendations were very considered and genuine as well. Communication was a breeze and we felt very up to date as things were progressing into the lead-up to the auction.

Sven did an outstanding job throughout the sales campaign for my home. He was professional, knowledgeable and personable. Sven possesses great communication skills and an easy going personality and sense of humour. I really appreciated the efforts Sven went to to keep information flowing about prospective buyers and open inspections and monitoring all aspects of the process. He offered great advice and support and I would highly recommend his services.

Sven gave us every assistance in selling our house in a very short timeframe for a very satisfactory outcome. Always thoughtful and well informed, with regular updates throughout the process - thank you Sven.

Sven handled the sale of my property with skilled excellence. The opening days of the inspections were slow but with his charm and professional approach he was able to encourage 3 bidders and I was able to get my price.

I couldnt fault Sven's performance in selling my property. It was a pleasure to deal with him.

Sven Fisher provided a level of professional communication during the recent sale of my property. He presented himself and my property perfectly. He was able to overcome all of the challenges that lockdown provided allowing me to feel confident in the process of sale. He liaised both with myself and perspective buyers and was invaluable during the selling experience.

Sven is a super lovely guy and a normal person, unlike many other real estate agents. We loved selling our apartment with him. He kept it real and shared all the information he had along the way. There were no surprises as communication was always open and transparent. The only surprise was he sold our apartment for an awesome price! That was the best :) Thanks Sven!

What a lovely man! Sven is with Biggin & Scott Elsternwick, a team I've known for years and never doubted I'd sell with them when the time came. My apartment was auctioned 3 days ago. All through the campaign Sven was very empathic. I think that's a rarity these days. On auction day Sven was constantly updating me. He was very kind and enthusiastic and he understood that I was selling my home of 30 years....not an easy thing to do for anyone. I can recommend Sven highly. He was absolutely fantastic. When you meet Sven, you'll know. A true gentleman; authentic with lots of personal credibility and integrity.

Sven was a pleasure to deal with, as always, informative and we got a fabulous result in auction day, from buyers that had be highlighted prior to auction. Can't recommend highly enough!

Sven was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the process of selling our property. Despite being overseas during the marketing campaign, Sven kept us informed with detailed updates about the level of interest in the property. His friendly and professional attitude made the experience stress-free and enjoyable. Sven worked tirelessly to get serious bidders at the auction, and thanks to his hard work and dedication, we were thrilled with the final result, which exceeded all of our expectations. We could not have asked for a better outcome or a better agent to work with. If you're looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, communicative, and willing to go above and beyond to ensure a successful outcome, we highly recommend Sven. Thank you, Sven, for all of your hard work and for making the selling process a positive experience.

Being a home owner (with my brother and sister), selling a property for the first time was a very daunting thought and experience for me. From day one Sven’s expertise and experience shone through always putting me at ease, guiding me all the way through the selling process. There was no obstacle too hard for him to overcome, especially during these tough COVID lockdowns, and no questions ever went unanswered without clarity.

Results on the sale of my property far exceeded all expectations and I couldn’t be happier. Feeling very grateful to Sven and all his team for all the hard work put in at all times and the amazing results you achieved for Mark, Julie and I. I will have no hesitation in highly recommending you and your team to anyone wanting to sell or buy property and I look forward to dealing with you again in the future. Thank you so much Sven.

Sven was an absolute joy to work with and particularly effective in facilitating our sale in the midst of the COVID pandemic. Sven was extremely professional, always attentive and a great communicator throughout our marketing process which was critical given the circumstances. Proof is in the pudding and we were still able to achieve a sale above our expectations in the middle of COVID-19 when auctions were cancelled the week before we were due to sell!

Sven made the daunting process of buying our first home absolutely seamless. Through all stages of the purchasing process, Sven's knowledge and insights of both the housing market and general 'real estate dance' were incredibly invaluable. We went into the process with very limited understanding, but Sven was helpful in how he talked (and walked) us through everything we needed to know - taking a very methodical and analytical approach. His extensive knowledge, having worked on the selling side, reassured us that the place we ultimately decided to pick to be our first home was right for us. As an advocate at auction he ensured that we were aware of his strategy and comfortable with his approach - and observing his advocacy while bidding made me happy he was in our corner. We really appreciated Sven's approachable, communicative and down-to-earth style. I would not hesitate to use Sven's services again in future, and would highly recommend his services to others.

Sven made the entire home-buying experience stress-free and enjoyable. His deep understanding of the market and keen research skills ensured I was always well-prepared and confident in my decisions. He took the time to carefully assess each property, helping me find exactly what I was looking for. When it came time for the auction, Sven�s calm, strategic bidding was a standout, helping me secure the property at a fantastic price. I would recommend him for anyone looking to buy a home.

From day one, Sven has been the most wonderful real estate agent. As I am a first home buyer and very new to the entire world of property, Sven was always extremely helpful and attentive, using every day language and was always willing to answer any questions, big or small. Sven's continual communication and general 'checking in' of progress has also set him aside as a truly professional and passionate real estate agent. Full of personality and charisma, he is highly recommended. Thank you Sven for such a smooth, enjoyable and easy experience in buying my first home. Adele :)

He was transparent and kept up with detailed communication after every open house, even when we were overseas. Thanks to Sven's expertise and hard work, our apartment sold for more than we expected at auction.
