What’s your personal connection to the neighbourhood?

Having worked in the Mount Waverley area since 2014, I’ve developed a strong understanding of the market, the different pockets and what continues to attract buyers here. It’s an area that has evolved over time, and that experience helps me provide advice grounded in both local knowledge and campaign insight.

What do your clients commonly say you do differently?

Clients often say I’m honest, direct and strong in negotiation. I focus on clear communication throughout the campaign, keeping vendors informed at each stage while working strategically with buyers to create the strongest possible result.

Take us through your most meaningful client story.

One sale that stands out was helping a family sell their mother’s long-held home. It was an original, one-owner property with a lot of emotion attached to it, so we took a careful and respectful approach. Achieving a strong auction result mattered, but so did the trust they placed in us.

Why Buxton?

For me, it comes down to the people, the network and the results. Being part of a multi-office Buxton group means we’re not relying on one database alone; we’re leveraging shared buyer reach and collaboration to give clients greater exposure.

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.
