About Simon

Moving into the real estate industry from a successful career at Mercedes-Benz, Simon Wood found the transition remarkably easy. The leading salesperson at the Toorak and Camberwell dealerships, Simon earned his stripes as a consummate sales professional- consistently ranking within the top 10% in Australia in his last years in the car industry. Although, Simon's greater passion for property drew him into real estate, while his experience and skills quickly grew his success. Whatever the product he says, the sales approach is the same. Always focused on achieving above-expectation results for his clients, Simon believes his ability to "read" and develop rapport with people provides him with a genuine competitive edge. Simon's key focus is on helping potential buyers build an appreciation for the value of a property and through that appreciation, building on the sales price his vendors' can achieve. Simon believes the key to success in sales is through thorough follow-up with courteous and careful consideration when advising clients on buying and selling. Most crucial of all is winning the trust of potential buyers so that they can bid with confidence and provide the ultimate win/win of a gratified purchaser and satisfied vendor. Growing up in the Bentleigh, Simon's early years, schooling, social and sporting all centre on the area. Still a local boy at heart and purchasing a home in the area Simon continues to build on an already solid network. A member of Yarra Yarra Golf Club and Dendy Park Tennis Club, Simon's time for sport is often limited by weekends "at play" in the real estate market but he does remain focused on achieving his goals. Simon's genuine and down to earth approach, combined with a proven track record for achieving outstanding results, makes him one of Bentleigh's most desirable agents.

About Claude

"An innovator throughout his career, Claude refuses to be limited by traditional ways of thinking. It's an approach that has led him to education, innovation and an unparalleled career in the art of negotiation." When your agent tells you he's a trained hostage negotiator, you know he's serious about getting results. Determined never to be out-negotiated, Claude Mery has built a career on innovation, education and thinking outside the square. A highly successful protégée of the industry-standard Jenman Sales Training system, Claude's drive to succeed in every interaction has pushed him to investigate unique ways to hone his skills. Now he shares that knowledge with his peers as a highly-regarded sales coach. Identifying superior negotiation skills as the key ingredient for success at a young age, Claude set himself on a path to become the best negotiator posssible. But it wasn't just about acquiring skills and garnering the recognition of his peers. Claude is clear on his mission - attaining mastery of the negotiation table is all about achieving the absolute best result (and best price) for his clients. It's this trait that has seen Claude achieve recognition as the Buxton Salesperson of the Year three times in his 10 year career with the Group. Awarded on the basis of dollar value of properties sold, the awards are proof-positive that Claude has captured more money, for more clients, than just about any other Buxton agent. But that's not to say that it's only about the sale. Known for his warm and personable ways, Claude's clients are quick to recommend him - not just for the results he has achieved on their behalf, but also for the warmth and understanding he brings to every stage of the sales process. A natural networker, Claude puts his winning ways to good use with involvement in the global corporate organisation, BNI (Business Network International). Bringing together like-minded professionals, the network is an invaluable resource that introduces Claude, his vendors and their homes to potential buyers from outside the usual channels. For this innovative agent, it's just another way of looking at the world and the marketplace ....and of refusing to be held hostage to the out-moded ideas that limit so many traditional agents.

very open & honest, no lies & inflated values etc, & great suggestions & assistance re presentation

Simon wanted to auction which I was very reluctant to do. Turns out he knew what he was talking about as the open for inspections were well attended, and the auction result was excellent

Simon’s diligence, communication and persistence delivered strong interest and a great sale outcome.

Simon Wood recently sold our property and delivered a fair but very strong result. Throughout the entire campaign, Simon kept us proactively informed after every inspection and made sure we understood the level of interest and feedback from potential buyers. He consistently went above and beyond, especially with a few hesitant buyers, taking the extra steps needed to encourage them to consider making an offer. In the end, it was Simon’s diligence and persistence that brought multiple buyers to the table and achieved a great outcome for us. We genuinely valued Simon’s guidance, communication, and professionalism throughout the process. Highly recommended.

Excellent communicator who genuinely loves sales and client relationships.

We recently engaged Angelo to sell our 2-bedroom investment apartment, and the experience exceeded our expectations. He achieved an excellent outcome for us — a timely off-market sale at a strong price for the current market. What made this especially meaningful is that we first met Angelo 15 years ago when we purchased our own home through him. Back then, we found him to be fair, honest, and balanced — and that impression has clearly stood the test of time. Over the years, he’s kept in touch with a simple Christmas call, which we used to joke about, but it genuinely reflects how much he values long-term relationships. Throughout this recent sale, Angelo was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. He brings a friendly yet authentic approach, offers pragmatic advice, knows the market well and shows genuine enthusiasm for achieving the best result. His attention to detail and consistent communication — with regular updates at every stage of the process — gave us real confidence from start to finish. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Angelo to anyone looking for a trustworthy and capable real estate agent.
