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 along 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.  Why Buxton?  Buxton operates with integrity and has built a trusted reputation over a long period of time. Being part of one of Melbourne’s oldest and most respected real estate firms reinforces the importance of longevity, trust and doing things properly. The strength of the brand, combined with the people behind it, creates an environment focused on professionalism, service and long-term relationships.

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.
