Bessi

Upchurch

Bessi’s background as a professional ballet dancer brings discipline, presentation and attention to detail to her real estate career. A Bayside local at heart, she is known for her caring, hands-on style, genuine passion for homes and ability to support clients with warmth, enthusiasm and confidence through every step.

What’s your personal connection to the neighbourhood?

I grew up in Parkdale and fell in love with the area early on. The bayside lifestyle has always been part of who I am, from local schools and community activities to first jobs, friendships and family memories.

What do your clients commonly say you do differently?

Clients often say I am genuinely caring and hands-on. I stay closely involved throughout the process, making sure each detail is thoughtfully managed and that people feel supported at every stage.

How has your career led you to the role you’re in today?

Before real estate, I was a professional ballet dancer, which taught me discipline, resilience, presentation and attention to detail. Those same qualities now shape the way I prepare, communicate and support my clients.

Why Buxton?

Buxton’s strong reputation, deep local knowledge and genuine commitment to community align with my own values. I’m proud to represent a brand that achieves exceptional results while putting people first.

Born & bred locally, Bessi loves life by the bay, and aims to share as much time as possible with her treasured dog Doug.

Bessi is a friendly and genuine person in an industry which can be a challenge. She is dedicated to her job and worked so hard to make this sale. Working closely with Emily, she is learning from the best. I am extremely grateful for all she has done for me and my family. Bessi rocks, and Emily rocks and rolls.

We recently purchased a property through Bessi Upchurch and Paul Sibley at Buxton and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. They were professional, approachable, and always available to answer our questions promptly. As first home buyers they made the process feel smooth and stress-free thanks to their clear communication and genuine support.

i had a really pleasant experience with Bessi. She worked closely with Emily Whitehead and it was clear they both understood the Cheltenham market very well. Bessi provided excellent pre-sale support and was able to step me through each step of the process as it was my first time selling a property. I'm very grateful for Bessi's support.

Bessi was fantastic to deal with! As a FHB, I really didn't know much about the process of buying, so I really appreciated Bessi having the time to explain everything to me. I also appreciated the professionalism, and responsiveness which Bessi provided with her outstanding customer service. Thank you so much for making my FHB experience seamless.

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.
