What is your personal connection to the neighbourhood?
I have worked in St Kilda since February 2021 and spend plenty of time enjoying the area after hours, from the Palais and Astor theatres to local eateries and the beach on a hot day. It is a lively, colourful place to work and connect.

What do your clients commonly say you do differently?
Clients say I am personable and quick to respond, sometimes even after hours. I ask owners and renters how they prefer to be contacted, because clear communication looks different for different people.

Tell us about any community initiatives you are proud of.
I have taken part in three Connor's Runs so far, including one with Buxton, and I plan to continue. It is a meaningful way to support an important cause while being active in the community.

Take us through your most meaningful client story.
One owner with a block of 12 properties followed me from my previous agency because I knew the building inside and out. That level of trust meant a great deal and reinforced the value of long-term relationships in property management.

Here to help

Your Buxton team member 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 leasing 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 renters are likely to pay.

Not at all. An appraisal is simply insight - a way to understand your property'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 lease results, market conditions, and property features. At Buxton, we combine local insight, data, and experience to provide a balanced, realistic appraisal you can trust.
