Rebecca

Start

Rebecca brings a strong background in small business and digital marketing to her real estate career. Having previously run her own local marketing business, Bec understands the importance of strategy, clear communication and strong presentation, skills she now applies to helping clients achieve standout results.

What’s your personal connection to the neighbourhood?
I’ve called Ballarat home since 2009. I was married at the Ballarat Botanical Gardens, and I’ve raised my three children here, which means I’ve experienced Ballarat in the most genuine way possible — from playgrounds and parks to schools, weekend spots and community events. I genuinely love this city and the people in it, and I’m proud to help others find their place here too.
What are some core values you live by?
Honesty, kindness and clear communication are values I strongly believe in. I think trust is everything in real estate, and it’s earned by following through on what you say you’ll do, being upfront and genuinely caring about people’s outcomes. I also place a strong value on hard work, community and treating everyone with respect, whether they’re buying their first home or growing an investment portfolio.
Tell us about any community initiatives you’re proud of
I’ve always felt strongly connected to Ballarat’s small business and community scene, and I’m passionate about supporting local businesses, events and initiatives wherever I can. I believe strong communities are built through people supporting one another and investing back into the places they call home.
How has your career led you to the role you’re in today?
Before moving into real estate, I worked closely with Ballarat small businesses and ran my own marketing business, which taught me how to connect with people, communicate clearly and present a product in the best possible way. Those skills have transferred naturally into property, and I’ve loved bringing a modern marketing perspective into my role at Buxton Ballarat.

With the stresses of moving interstate Bec has been key to ensuring everything runs smoothly. Bec is very friendly and responsive, actioned items quickly and kept us updated on progress of matters, quickly addressing any concerns we may. Bec has detailed knowledge of sales process and high stakeholder engagement with other parties. Highly recommended engaging Rebecca at Buxton Real Estate Ballarat.

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.
