What’s your personal connection to the neighbourhood?
I have worked in the area for almost 30 years, so my connection to Stonnington has developed naturally over time. Walking to the car park, visiting cafés, supporting local retailers and managing properties within walking distance of the office means the neighbourhood has become part of my working life.

What do your clients commonly say you do differently?
Clients usually recognise my professionalism, client focus and quality of service. They can see that I genuinely want to make a difference through my approach. I care about the outcome, and I believe a good deal is only truly good when both parties benefit.

Take us through your most meaningful client story:
Supporting older rental providers who do not have family or external support is something that stays with me. The trust they place in me, often built through years of phone calls and correspondence, is humbling. Property management has become increasingly complex, and being a reliable person they can lean on is deeply meaningful.

Why Buxton?
After many successful years as a boutique Stonnington agency, we aligned with Buxton when the market increasingly valued larger networks and strong brands. The transition was seamless and successful, giving our clients the benefit of a broader platform while keeping the relationships and service standards we had built.

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.
