Christopher

Rae

There's a great deal of reassurance to be found in dealing with a Property Consultant who not only boasts many years of experience in the real estate market in the bayside suburbs, but whose knowledge of and commitment to that particular area has been established over an even longer period of time.

In fact, Christopher Rae first entered the real estate industry in this area around 25 years ago, so it's fair to say he knows this market well. However, the intervening years have also seen him earn a well-respected reputation within the broader corporate world, not to mention contributing strongly to the local community through his involvement with local sporting and lifesaving clubs. So when it comes to well-rounded insights into the lifestyle that the Mentone and Mordialloc area provides, it's no wonder so many buyers like dealing with Chris.

An excellent communicator who genuinely cares about the well-being of his clients, Chris' attention to detail and excellent follow-up are a real source of peace of mind for sellers, as is his passion for achieving outstanding results for his vendors, whether through private negotiation or in the more public forum as an auctioneer.

We chose Chris to sell our home based on a glowing review from friends of ours. We had never sold a property before so were new to the process. Chris was fantastic, he is extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy. He achieved an outstanding result for us, selling within 10 days of us listing the property for sale. It gave us great comfort knowing that Chris was in our corner. We would recommend Chris to anyone selling their home, thank you Chris!

Chris was the perfect choice in selling our home. He knew the market well, provided us with honest and realistic goals in the toughest market, and was always available to answer questions, if we had any. Chris provided his full attention in selling our home, and was there for every Open For Inspection. He was the perfect guide for us, we could not have asked for more. And we received a settlement higher than we expected. My advice, trust Chris, as he really knows his craft. Thank you Chris.

I’ve worked with Chris for years, and selling my home with him was the best decision I could’ve made. He brought expert guidance, strong market knowledge, and a personal touch that made all the difference. The process was smooth, efficient, and exceeded my expectations. Chris has always gone above and beyond, and I truly value our long-term relationship. If you need someone you can trust, look no further.

Chris is the agent everyone should go to and I highly recommend him. He sold our home under difficult circumstances (that another agent was unable to manage) and I was very happy with the price. I had already heard from others how he was the guy to " go to" and I totally understand where that reputation came from. Thanks Chris, I literally couldn't have done it without you.

Amanda M

I recently had the pleasure of engaging Chris Rae to sell a property in Mordialloc. From the outset it was clear that Chris had exceptional market knowledge and both he and his extended Buxton's Team were totally invested in the sale. At the auction Chris achieved an outstanding result well above reserve, and I cannot thank him enough. I am also grateful to his colleagues Wes and Georgia Belt and Mia Dell Aquilla for their excellent support. Would not hesitate to engage Buxton Mentone again.

Stephen L

We are so pleased with Christopher, his knowledge of the market and longevity in his profession certainly made for a smooth process. We can’t recommend him or his team at Buxton Mentone enough. We’ll certainly use Christopher again!

Chris is a local who knows the area and housing market very well. Chris goes out of his way to help and inform you about the properties he sells. Chris is honest and a delight to deal with and couldn’t fault anything he did (and I am a fuss)! So happy I bought my property through Chris at Buxton.

Yanni M

We were in a tight spot, having bought a new place before selling our current property, and dealing with the additional challenge of selling over the Christmas period. We met with Chris whose measured manner and deep experience immediately inspired confidence, and who then calmly explained the options available to us all the while realistically managing our expectations, and ultimately helped us to navigate through to a successful sale at a good price and settlement date, thanks again Chris!

Andrew G

Chris is a true professional who’s highly knowledgeable about the Bayside / Kingston property market. I found Chris to be extremely proactive and always contactable day or night, weekend or weekday. Chris not only obtained a great price for my property but also amazing terms, I would absolutely have Chris as my agent again.

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.
