What’s your personal connection to the neighbourhood?

I’m a third-generation Inner Westie and have witnessed the area change over decades. From the evolving café culture to the people who have moved here and shaped the community, I feel deeply connected to this place. I couldn’t see myself living or working anywhere else.

What are some core values you live by?

Loyalty, trust and honesty mean everything to me. I’m an old soul in that way; a firm handshake and direct eye contact still matter. When values align, I’m the kind of person who will give everything I can.

Take us through your most meaningful client story.

One story that has stayed with me was a Footscray sale nearly 15 years ago. After passing the property in at auction, I negotiated with a buyer who was away near Daylesford and eventually drove out late on a Sunday night to get the contract signed on the side of a dirt road. The vendors were expecting their first child within days, so helping secure that outcome under pressure is something I’ll never forget.

Tristan made the experience of selling a house as easy as it could be from the first meeting to settlement. He has extensive local knowledge and stepped us through the whole selling process so we knew what to expect. Tristan was able to assist with getting the house sale ready - painters, gardeners, stylists etc. and was readily available to answer all questions. He kept us up to date with what was happening during the campaign at all stages and did everything he could to get us a good price.

Tristan came highly recommended by another real estate agent. You could not find a better prompt and reliable communicator. He made the process easy and was extremely professional throughout our time. Nothing was too much trouble for him. I would not hesitate to use him again and am happy to recommend him to others.

He definitely made us more confident and comfortable with the process of selling. Highly trustworthy. Got us a great result.

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.
