Great communication throughout the sale. Exceeded market price due to James’s premier negotiation skills. Went over and above to achieve the best result for us. Highly recommended.

What's your personal connection to the neighbourhood?
I have lived in the area my whole life, went to school locally and have always worked around here. After more than 10 years in real estate, I still love helping people move into the area and enjoy the beachside lifestyle.
What do your clients commonly say you do differently?
Clients often value the level of service I provide from listing through to settlement. I focus on communication, follow-up and explaining the process clearly so they feel informed the whole way through.
Tell us about any community initiatives you're proud of
I am proud of our involvement with Aspendale Life Saving Club and the Club to Club Swim Challenge, as well as the All Fired Up Fun Run. Both are great local events that support the community and encourage an active lifestyle.
What's something only locals know about this area?
Locals know just how special the beaches are. I have seen coastlines around the world, but Edithvale still has some of the best beach views and sunsets anywhere.

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 usYour 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.
