We used Ben due to our positive previous experiences with Buxton and Ben’s knowledge of the market, local area and experience in the game met our already high expectations. Ben navigated the sale of our property with care, patience, wonderful advice and during what was in hindsight an incredibly volatile market in Melbourne. We had full trust in Ben’s advice along the journey as well as his wonderful team in the office, whom were always there to assist with many of the tasks.

Ben was very attentive to our needs & kept persisting with the sale over a 6 month period. After an initial sale fell over due to buyer circumstances, the house was placed on the market again & Ben obtained a good price for us. Ben was always available when needed & is a great conduit between seller & buyer, not just with the house, but assisting parties re all enquiries from furniture to be sold and to house plans for potential changes. Ben is your guy.

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.
