What is your personal connection to the neighbourhood?

Working from Buxton St Kilda while living nearby in South Yarra means I am constantly connected to two vibrant inner-city pockets. I value the hospitality, shopping and lifestyle, and I understand why people are drawn to the balance of coastal and city living.

What do your clients commonly say you do differently?

Clients value that I do not rush the process. Finding the right tenant or the right home should not feel pressured, so I take the time to understand what people need and match them with properties that genuinely suit their situation.

What are some core values you live by?

Consistency, accountability and respect guide how I work. I believe in doing things properly, being upfront and treating every client and situation with care, even when things are busy.

Take us through your most meaningful client story.

A standout moment was helping someone secure a home after being repeatedly overlooked in a competitive market. Taking the time to understand their situation, present their application properly and guide them through the process made all the difference.

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.
