Simon

Best

With more than 29 years of experience in the local market, Simon brings a steady, well-informed approach to real estate shaped by deep community ties. Having grown up in Kilmore, his understanding of the area runs beyond property - it’s built on lived experience, long-standing relationships and a genuine connection to the town.

What’s your personal connection to the neighbourhood?
I grew up in Kilmore and attended local schools, so my connection to the area is personal and long-standing. I understand the people, the streets and the lifestyle because I have lived it, and that gives me a grounded perspective when advising clients across Wallan, Kilmore and the broader Mitchell Shire market.
What do your clients commonly say you do differently?
Clients often say I communicate better. I believe clear, honest communication is one of the most important parts of real estate, because people need to understand what is happening and why. When clients are kept informed, they can make confident decisions at each stage of the process.
Tell us about any community initiatives you’re proud of
We sponsor a number of local sporting and community groups, and some of those partnerships have been in place for more than 25 years. That long-term support matters to me because local clubs and organisations help hold regional communities together.
Why Buxton?
Buxton offers the right mix of culture, heritage, market presence and leadership. It has a long-standing reputation, but also the energy and systems needed to keep moving forward. That combination is important in a market where trust, consistency and results all matter.

Frequently Asked

Here to help

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.

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 sales, market conditions, and property features. At Buxton, we combine local insight, data, and experience to provide a balanced, realistic appraisal you can trust.
