Choosing Stefan Whiting to sell my house in Brighton was one of the best decisions I’ve made. He was a pleasure to deal with. Genuinely passionate, personable, efficient, knowledgeable, resourceful, enthusiastic, market savvy and fun! He went above and beyond to achieve our successful result. We felt in very safe hands and couldn’t recommend Stefan more highly than we do.

We have worked with Stef before and again he gets the results required. Realistic from the outset and strives for the vendors best outcome. We would highly recommend.

Tony & Juli D

Stefan has a wonderful way of assessing the market and individual ( vendor or purchaser) concerns…with an almost extra-sensory talent to interpret what action needs to be taken or what words need to be said. We felt we could trust Stefan and his professionalism and real estate experience.

Jane G

Stef is one of the pre-eminent real estate agents in the Hampton/Brighton area. As well as being very knowledgable about the local market, he is extremely responsive and his judgment is sound. He ran a seamless campaign for us which achieved a fantastic result. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Marcus H

Stefan wanted to understand my needs and whether he could match them with a property. He wanted to sell obviously but not if he felt he had a more appropriate product. A good people’s person with great communication and an understanding for my needs and that of the vendors. In the end, a professional who did a great job for the vendors and the purchaser. Many thanks.

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.
