What’s your personal connection to the neighbourhood?
My connection to Aspendale Gardens and the surrounding suburbs goes far beyond property — it’s personal. I’ve proudly called the area home for over 20 years, and living locally has given me a genuine understanding of what makes this community so special. My children attended local schools, built lifelong friendships here, and even had their first jobs at the local shops. I love introducing buyers to the area and sharing the little things only a true local would know.
What do your clients commonly say you do differently?
People often describe me as down-to-earth, honest, and relatable — no false promises or unnecessary theatrics. My background spans community-focused welfare work through to large-scale infrastructure projects, which gives me a balanced and empathetic approach. Clients appreciate that I combine strong advocacy and negotiation skills with honest advice and genuine integrity.
Tell us about any community initiatives you’re proud of.
I’m especially proud of helping create our Pink Gala Dinner events in support of the NBCF. Across three events, we raised close to $100,000 through the incredible support of local businesses and community members. It’s a great example of what can happen when a community comes together for an important cause.
What are some core values you live by?
Integrity is everything to me. I believe in treating people the right way, whether it’s family, friends, buyers, or vendors. Being authentic, trustworthy, and willing to speak up when something isn’t right is incredibly important

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.
