Simon Wood brings a results-driven yet approachable style to real estate, backed by a successful background in high-performance sales.

I grew up in Bentleigh, attended Bentleigh West Primary School and still have family living locally, so the area has always felt deeply familiar to me. Many of my earliest memories, friendships and connections are tied to this community, which gives me a genuine understanding of the lifestyle, people and character that make the neighbourhood so special.

What do your clients commonly say you do differently?

Clients often describe me as personable, professional and a strong communicator throughout the entire process. They value the way I work efficiently and strategically while still remaining approachable and easy to deal with. My focus is always on delivering excellent results while ensuring clients feel informed, confident and well supported from beginning to end.

What are some core values you live by?

I strongly believe that respect is earned, not simply given. Building trust comes through consistent actions, reliability and delivering on what you promise over time. I value honesty, hard work and accountability, and I believe strong relationships are built through genuine effort and consistent results.

Take us through your most meaningful client story

One particularly meaningful experience involved helping a family who came to me during a period of significant financial pressure. They placed enormous trust in me to guide the sale of their home, and through a focused, well-executed campaign, we achieved a result more than $350,000 beyond expectations. Knowing that outcome genuinely changed their situation was a powerful reminder of how meaningful and impactful this work can be.

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.
