Madeline was outstanding in selling our home. From start to finish she was professional, honest, and tenacious - always advocating for the best outcome. Her communication was excellent: timely updates, clear explanations, and quick follow-up on questions. She navigated negotiations skillfully and made the process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Madeline to anyone looking for a dependable, hard-working real estate agent.

We are so grateful to Madeline and her super, efficient team at Buxton, in Flinders, with the selling of our commercial property. Madeline was professional and engaged from our very first meeting, her level of expertise was outstanding. We absolutely knew we were in the best of hands. Madeline always kept us updated throughout the entire campaign process, keeping us well informed and going through all the prospective buyer enquiries. Her positive, warm and genuine manner made everything so manageable from our end. Ongoing communication was also excellent from the team, via email, text and phone calls. Thank you so much Madeline, Samantha and Nicola. Madeline, as much as selling a property can be stressful, you somehow made it quite the opposite. We think you are just the best!

Judy and I want to acknowledge the wonderful support and advice we received from Madeline whilst selling our house. With a mix of hope and expectation in terms of price and settlement Madeline’s help ensured the whole process of house preparation, inspection and auction was managed not just in a calm, structured and professional manner but also in a friendly and welcoming way. We enjoyed the contact and felt part of the process. Regular updates by phone, text and email kept us abreast of the level of interest and guidance on the next step. Madeline brings a team to support the selling process which is outstanding. All play their part and work in a seamless way focused to our benefit. We are grateful to James for very active support throughout. Clayton brought life into the auction on a rather wet flinders day. Nicola brings an enthusiasm and energy to back up the process. Bella and Tinka play their part in ensuring photographs and promotional text are of the highest quality and appropriate to the situation as indicated by the high level of interest at inspections. As well there are others providing the highest quality finishing touches to the house and garden ensuring they look their best in terms of buyer appeal. There is always uncertainty and apprehension in the lead up to the auction but Madeline and her team managed the process so well and fairly always with our interests at heart. Thank you to Madeline and her team for a job well done.

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.

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.
