What’s your personal connection to the neighbourhood?

I grew up in Bentleigh and still live here with my young family, so the area feels incredibly personal to me. From catching the train on Centre Road growing up to now spending time with family at places like Allnutt Park, there’s a real sense of familiarity and connection here. Watching the area evolve while remaining deeply community-focused has been a special part of that journey.

What do your clients commonly say you do differently?

Clients often describe me as reliable, contactable, prompt and detail-focused throughout the entire process. They also respond strongly to the way we approach marketing, particularly through curated social media and video content that focuses on telling the story of a home rather than simply advertising it. Creating an emotional connection with buyers is something I believe can make a genuine difference to a campaign.

What are some core values you live by?

I believe strongly in being consistent, dependable and always striving to improve. Honesty and humility are values that matter greatly to me, along with having the discipline to continue learning and becoming one percent better every day. Maintaining high standards, both personally and professionally, is something I take great pride in.

We couldn’t be happier with Simon and the exceptional result he achieved in just 11 days. Simon originally sold us this special home, where we married, welcomed our babies, lovingly renovated and created treasured memories. He has continued to provide advice over the years which helped us secure our next dream home. We’ll miss our first home dearly but know it will make its next owners exceptionally happy. Simon’s success is unparalleled and well deserved. Thank you Simon, until next tim

Despite a challenging market, his strategy generated multiple competitive offers and ultimately achieved an excellent result. His communication was outstanding throughout, and he made the entire experience feel calm, clear and manageable. We always felt confident that we were in capable hands. Thank you again, Simon, for taking such great care of us. We couldn’t recommend you more highly.

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.
