What do your clients commonly say you do differently?

I grew up loving basketball, and I’m proud of our support for local basketball, particularly the Geelong women’s Venom side. As a father of two daughters, it’s wonderful to see more exposure and investment in women’s sport. It’s a meaningful way to support both community and opportunity.

I was always motivated to build a successful real estate career, but I also wanted to be part of a growing team and business. I’ve been fortunate to learn from phenomenal mentors within Buxton and beyond. Their guidance has played a significant role in shaping where I am today.

Dave and his team were an absolute pleasure to deal with from day 1 of our first meeting until the day of settlement of our property. Given we had not sold a property for 35 years, Dave's experience in the local market allowed us to price the property in a realistic range and achieve a result after 1 open day, at the higher end of our range, and a sale agreed in 3 days. Dave also put strategy's in place to accommodate our unique predicament to make the sale go smoothly which was much appreciated

Market intelligence was faultless. Provided with a realistic price range. Provided regular information on the outcomes of open inspections and the behind the auction date activity from potential buyers. Reliable advice to selling prior to auction.

It was such a pleasure having David as our agent. He demonstrated a strong knowledge of best selling strategies and awareness of current market. He engaged with buyers respectfully and relayed all information from opens in a prompt fashion. Our home was sold in under two weeks, and we believe that David was a big factor of this.

These two are such a team! So professional, transparent and capable! We have bought and sold through Dave and Bridget and on either side felt they were incredibly genuine and honest. Our last house sold in 10 days for a price I am still buzzing about! Will only be selling through them from now on.

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.
