Ben

Riddle

Ben has spent more than 20 years working within the Geelong community, building a reputation for approachability, perspective and people-first service. His passion for real estate is matched by a strong belief that every transaction carries emotion, trust and responsibility, and that clients deserve advice shaped by their needs.

What’s your personal connection to the neighbourhood?

I was born and bred in Geelong and it has been a pleasure to work within and serve the local community for more than 20 years. Real estate has always been about people as much as houses, and helping people buy, sell and live well here is extremely rewarding.

What are some core values you live by?

Treat people as you would like to be treated. I believe in walking in the customer’s shoes to better understand their needs and wants, because no property transaction is ever one-dimensional or without emotion.

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.
