Co-Team Lead | The VIP Team at CØMPASS
"Do the right thing." I always keep these simple words in mind in everything I do, because real estate is an inherently human business. As a licensed NJ Realtor my goal is to prioritize the client relationship more than any single transaction, because I'm in this business for the long haul and not just for a commission check. I think this mindset is reflected in the fact that the bulk of my business activity comes from repeat clients and client referrals.
My main objective is to understand my client's goals, needs, and motivations and to do all that is necessary to help them get there. I pride myself on always being responsive and respectful, offering honest and helpful advice, demystifying the often complex process of buying and selling real estate, and fighting for my client's interests.
I also help make the transaction process go seamlessly by connecting my clients with a reliable roster of other real estate professionals, including licensed contractors, lenders, insurance agents, home inspectors, and lawyers, and guiding the transaction along from accepted offer to a successful closing.
I am not afraid to roll up my sleeves and go "above and beyond" to ensure my clients get to the closing table and are happy they did.
Whether you are looking to buy or sell in Northern NJ, get in touch with me today, and I'll be glad to discuss how I can help you with any of your real estate needs.
A bit more about Max:
I'm a happily married father of two living in Northern New Jersey, a proud homeowner, a real estate investor & landlord. I love reading good books, drinking fresh coffee, enjoying the great outdoors, family meals & adventures, photography, bread-baking, and most recently, learning how to play piano.
I work hard for my clients and in my business, but I make it a priority to have dinner with my wife and kids (almost) every evening, to prepare my kids' school lunches and drop them off every morning, and to be present, both mentally and physically, for my family every single day.
I pride myself on being open to learning new things, acquiring new skills, and the ability to adapt and/or change my point of view.
I received my BBA from Baruch College, CUNY and my MBA from New York University, Stern School of Business, with the last semester at IESE Business School in Barcelona, Spain.

If you're looking for an agent, seriously don't look further than Max. We were first time homebuyers and went through 5 other agents before landing on Max - our Redfin agent literally never met with us and would send associates to tour in his stead for multiple properties while failing to uncover underlying issues with a property that prevented our close just a week before. Other agents would simply forget to schedule tours, be super bad at communication, or have questionable investment property guidance.
Lucky for us, Max is one of the most punctual, savvy and professional agents in the biz. He would entertain almost a dozen tours for us in a hot market, provide rent comps for all the properties, and even drive us around... It's beyond comparison how he treated us, and we were able to close weeks ahead of schedule because of his efficiency. He's extremely knowledgeable even on issues before inspectors show up and always provides informed guidance where needed.
I could go on and on, but could not recommend Max enough. To top it off, he's a great guy and I'm glad to call him a friend.

Max is the rare agent that makes you feel like you are his only client and highest priority. He gave us his undivided attention at every meeting and showing, patiently explained all the complexities we came up against, answered all (ALL!!!) of our many questions and spent time brainstorming best next steps.
To top it off, Max is incredibly knowledgeable in many aspects of home ownership. He called out things we may have missed in touring a house that could be issues or expenses in the long term. We learned a lot from Max that will help us with future purchases.
The home buying process can be incredibly overwhelming, but with Max we truly felt like we had someone on our side with our best interest at heart. He was supportive when he needed to be but also pushed us out of our comfort zones. He went above and beyond expectations in a million different ways; Max was just as invested in a great outcome for our family as we were.
We are so happy about our experience with Max (we may have unofficially adopted him into our family). We look forward to working with him again.

Max is the BEST- He helped us through our first investment/home purchase and made everything a breeze. He’s responsive 24/7 and whenever issues would arise, like in negotiations or during inspection, he would calmly guide us through every step. You can tell that he truly cares for his clients. Highly recommend him to anybody looking to take that first step in their RE journey. We will definitely be coming back to him for property #2!

We needed a very knowledgeable, personable, and dedicated real estate agent to help guide us with the sale of an older home in Morristown, NJ, a home that had been in my husband’s family for 65 years. Max Vishnev with Compass came highly recommended, and we are so grateful for his excellent service as our listing agent. His suggestions on how to prepare the home before listing it on the market was spot on. This led to immediate multiple offers with a final offer well over the list price, and the house sold in just 2 days! Max’s solid advice really paid off. And he made it so easy because he is an excellent communicator, explained all the details very clearly, and answered all our questions promptly. He truly had our best interests at heart. Having found out that Max is also very knowledgeable about the real estate market in the more urban areas east of Morristown, we will be advising our daughter to utilize his services in her search for housing in Hudson or Bergen County. Thank you Max for helping us to sell the house so quickly and successfully!

Because of Max’s expertise & truly Herculean effort in representing us on the sale of our home 1 year ago, we trusted Max to to do the same as our Broker on the purchase of our new home. With the pricey housing market, our biggest concern is overpaying and having Max on our side gave us great comfort. Always reachable with questions with prompt responses, no matter the time of the day. With 1000% satisfaction, definitely recommend others to use Max as their Broker. Thank you Max with much appreciation for the hard work you done for us on the selling and buying of our homes.

Max has helped with the sale of three properties over the past couple of years. A one family property to be gut renovated by the buyer, a two family house in Hudson County with a tenant in one of the units and a single family home in an affluent NJ suburb to a family moving from NYC. All three transactions required a broad understanding of real estate in general, demographics, target buyers as well as specific goals I had in mind. I am extremely appreciative for Max taking the time to navigate the marketing process, creating professional material, searching out buyers that both knew what they were getting into and who were able to close. Max provided valuable advice along the way and handled the municipal issues (CO, inspections, etc.) with expedience and diligence. I could not recommend him more. He delivered and helped the process along. One house had a tank, we removed it, he was involved in getting it done and we closed. Another property needed renovations before going to market, we got them done with his guidance, listed the property and sold in a short timeframe. Max is reliable, diligent and puts in the extra effort needed to get through a complex transaction effectively.

Anxiety and stress are real when you are buying your first home, but thankfully we had a very patient, hardworking and honest real estate agent, Max Vishnev, that really helped calm our nerves during the whole process. We actually ended up switching to Max, when our initial agent just didn't hit the check boxes we needed in an agent. Max was so pleasant to work with. He was prepared at all the listings we went to see (you gotta love someone who does their homework and doesn't skip a beat), he was never pushy, he discussed pros and cons with us, he went above and beyond to get us all the info we needed. Max was very accommodating with our schedules and always stepped up. What really blew us away was his efforts during our final decision on a house; from the negotiations, to the inspections, to the walk throughs and then finally the closing! He was a very crucial element in helping us achieve our home buying dreams! We can't thank him enough! Highly highly recommend this agent!

Max is the consummate real estate professional. Max helped me and my wife realize the maximum potential for our home of 20+ years. On our sale, he had a keen sense of timing and his expertise in real estate market strategy helped us garner a quick sell with multiple bidders. Max helped us to focus and prioritize spending on fixes that truly helped the sale. He was also very good at guiding us thru every step of the process. I highly recommend Max to anyone to help with their real estate needs.

Max is a rockstar! I reached out to him after I decided I wanted to buy a two family property in Hudson County. This was going to be my first investment property purchase during a challenging time to be a buyer in the real estate market. Max guided me from the beginning turning my ideas into criteria and filtering out potential properties for me. He always made himself available to show properties and I could count on him for solid advice. Max acted as an advisor and not a salesman. He would be the first to point out potential red flags with the properties we saw and I could always count on him to give me sound council. After searching for a few months we found a two family in an ideal location and were able to get first offer in and accepted at asking price. The property ended up appraising for 30k over asking price! I would not have been able to go through this process as smoothly as I did without Max. He was great from first meeting all the way through closing and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for real estate in North Jersey and especially first time home buyers!
