What’s your personal connection to the neighbourhood?

Having worked in the Mount Waverley area since 2014, I’ve developed a strong understanding of the market, the different pockets and what continues to attract buyers here. It’s an area that has evolved over time, and that experience helps me provide advice grounded in both local knowledge and campaign insight.

What do your clients commonly say you do differently?

Clients often say I’m honest, direct and strong in negotiation. I focus on clear communication throughout the campaign, keeping vendors informed at each stage while working strategically with buyers to create the strongest possible result.

Take us through your most meaningful client story.

One sale that stands out was helping a family sell their mother’s long-held home. It was an original, one-owner property with a lot of emotion attached to it, so we took a careful and respectful approach. Achieving a strong auction result mattered, but so did the trust they placed in us.

Why Buxton?

For me, it comes down to the people, the network and the results. Being part of a multi-office Buxton group means we’re not relying on one database alone; we’re leveraging shared buyer reach and collaboration to give clients greater exposure.

Steve was fantastic to work with. As a first‑time seller, I appreciated how he guided me through everything and dealt with all the tricky questions along the way. He’s also a great auctioneer—professional, confident, and effective. Very happy with the result.

Our time frame for selling was during a tough time in our lives and the market. Steve and other agents were enthusiastic about the property,but realistic in their pricing and selling expectations . We had a very positive auction campaign with regular updates after viewings and quite a few buyers expressing interest . Auction day was busy with several bidders and a positive outcome for the winning couple and our family . Many thanks The G family

Decided on Steve Hatzi and Buxton to sell our family home. Communication was easy and He always managed to fit into our time frame. What is normally a very stressful time, Steve helped us through the journey in a comforting manner. Yet we ultimately felt in control of our own decisions! Happy to recommend Steve and his team for a positive experience in Mt Waverley area.

Frequently Asked

Here to help

Your Buxton agent will cover the details - here’s a clear view of what an appraisal involves.

We approach appraisals as a practical conversations, grounded in real data, local insight and what matters most to you.

Speak to us

Your Buxton agent visits your property, considers its features, location, and market conditions, and combines that with recent sales data to give you a clear, realistic view of its value.

We analyse comparable properties, current market trends, and your home’s unique qualities. From there, we provide a considered range that reflects what buyers are likely to pay.

Not at all. An appraisal is simply insight - a way to understand your home’s value and your options before making any decisions.

Typically, we recommend an in-person appraisal so we can assess your property fully. In some cases, a virtual appraisal can provide a helpful initial guide.

Agents weigh factors differently - recent sales, market conditions, and property features. At Buxton, we combine local insight, data, and experience to provide a balanced, realistic appraisal you can trust.
