What’s your personal connection to the neighbourhood?
I grew up in Geelong and have lived in several parts of the city. My parents and grandparents ran businesses here, so I feel a strong connection to the area, its history and, of course, the Geelong Cats.

What are some core values you live by?
I believe you should be honest in all your dealings with people. It is much easier to be truthful than to remember stories, and honesty is the foundation of trust.

Why Buxton?
I have known many people at Buxton for years, so when the opportunity came up to join the team, it was an easy choice.

The market for selling a Unit in a high density property over the last two years has been difficult due to the State Government’s property taxation policies. Vendors need to be realistic and Agents need to implement a selling / market strategy accordingly. Patience and time on the market must be expected. Our property in the G1 development offered a fantastic place to live in the heart of Geelong. Negotiations required skill, expertise, patience & sensitivity with the client

Daryl was well informative of the property market. The advice given on selling options was well explained in simple terms easy to understand. He went above and beyond what was asked. I would use Daryl and Buxtons again should the need arise

Daryl was co agent with Dylan Taggert of Buxton. Daryl was always there to answer any questions or concerns with my sale to the purchaser. Very knowledgeable and hard working. Always happy to help and a pleasure to work with.
