We’re still pinching ourselves at the result we achieved! We’d like to truly thank you for the great work and advice you put in from start to finish. Our conversation’s regarding our property started more than 18 months prior to selling. From our first conversation until the time we were ready to sell your knowledge, passion and drive was always apparent and certainly upbeat! Prior to appointing Buckingham we did plenty of research, including reading an article which stated that you needed to a trust the agent that you were engaging for the sale of your property. We took this on board and your advice with regards to Marketing, property preparation and projected outcomes was key to exceeding our expectations - which you did comprehensively! We’ve sold properties in the past and our previous experience was that the listing/senior agent would sign you up and would attend very few of the inspections - this was not the case with Buckingham. We were pleased that you attended each and every inspection and we truly appreciated the almost instant feedback. I’m not sure whether it is industry norm, but I was really impressed that Buckingham would take the time to introduce our property to the entire Buckingham team via an actual walk through of the property. Special thanks also goes out to the Auctioneer Extraordinaire, Stuart Buckingham! Stuart did an amazing Job of extracting the every last dollar out of our purchaser’s and making sure that right seeds were planted for a lively auction and a great result. Lastly, we loved the good old fashion service that was provided, especially the fact that phone calls were returned almost immediately – a simple courtesy that is lacking in today’s world. Thank you once again, we’re looking forward to working with you in the not too distant future Gerry Ardesi Director – Loan Collective E gerry@loancollective.com.au

In March of this year 2015 I was privileged to have David Oakley sell my home. It was the first property I had owned and reluctantly I was selling to move interstate for work. David was recommended to me via a friend and immediately when I met him I knew he was passionate about selling and this to me was a great sign. When we sat down to discuss the selling process he outlined the sales trends in the suburb of Macleod and neighbouring areas so that I could gauge where my property would fit into the current market. We both agreed that an auction would suit for the sale of my 2 bedroom unit. The sales campaign was 4 weeks and during this time there were 8 open homes all of which were very successful. After each open home David would contact me to advise what interest there was and if any repeat potential buyers had revisit the property. Auction day arrived and despite the nerves I realised that all the dedication, hard work and support David had given me throughout the campaign had worked and it was coming together before my eyes as the crowd grew. The Auctioneer for my property was Stuart Buckingham and I knew his style of auctioneering coupled with the David’s dedication during the sales campaign were going to make for a very successful auction and it did as my property sold at auction well above my expectations. I was extremely pleased with every aspect of the sale of my property and despite how tedious and stressful the sale of a home can be I can sincerely say that David was a delight to deal with and I would highly recommend him if you want honesty, dedication, great communication, sales knowledge, potential buyer follow-up and genuine support to make the sale of your home an absolute success. I have no hesitation in recommending David to anyone who is looking to sell their home as he was an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Dear Stuart, Just a quick note as the settlement on 52 Nepean St approaches. I thank you and company for making the sale a smooth, easy process. You achieved a sale price above our expectations making me feel that all of the hard work bringing the property to a reasonable standard for auction was well worth the effort. My special thanks go to Scott Anderson, I found him a pleasure do deal in all of our conversations and meetings. He presents extremely well, very up-beat with a positive outlook. We didn’t have much to work with when Scott first inspected the property, but he was always pushed the positive elements, a sturdy structure, close to all amenities. Scott kept me well informed at all times which I truly appreciated. As you know, you always get a few ‘'doubting Thomas's” when discussing with people who to use when selling a property, and with me especilly, being a sceptical old time builder. After my first meeting with Scott I had no issues at all about using your company. That's about it for now thank you again. Kind regards Syd Mitchell

I especially chose Scott Anderson (Real Estate Agent for Buckingham & Co) to market, advertise and sell my home of 25 years after I had heard 'glowing reports' from family and friends who had previously purchased and sold homes in the local area of Watsonia. From the first contact visit - Scott Anderson's friendly advice and professional knowledge let me know I had made the right decision. Scott's patience with me re: auction date changes saw all the 'cards eventually fall into place" and all with a minimum of fuss. The sales team at Buckingham & Co were just as professional and personable in my dealings with them. The huge number of people who viewed my home - not just on viewing days - but when making 2nd and 3rd visits - or bringing other family members - or requesting building inspection reports saw well over 150 people come through my home and for every person who attended I was informed, not only verbally, but I received a written report on their remarks. I was kept up to date at every turn of the 4 week campaign by Scott especially. The marketing of my house was maximized by the friendly, professional and knowledgeable advice given by the property stylist as arranged by Scott and also the photographer who helped present my home to the buying public. The end result saw 160+ people at the auction - 10 bidders with several serious bidders who took the final bid to $100,000.00 over my reserve price. Scott Anderson certainly made Auctioneer Stuart Buckingham's job a lot easier by conducting 'the ultimate 4 week campaign' and I can't thank him enough for the successful sale of my home. I most highly recommend Scott Anderson from Buckingham & Co to anyone considering purchasing or selling a property or house - they certainly won't be disappointed. Sincerely yours - Beverley Brown.

Before selecting Buckingham & Co to sell 9 Sainsbury Avenue, Greensborough, we attended many property auctions and inspections in the area to observe agents and auctioneers in action. David Oakley impressed us with his ability to engage with people in a friendly, honest and informative way and we judged Stuart Buckingham to be the most effective auctioneer in the area. We greatly appreciated David’s knowledge, honesty, patience, help, advice and good humour in meeting requests. Our faith in him was rewarded, with diligent engagement and follow-up of prospective purchasers, resulting in a very large crowd attendance at the auction, an outstanding auction result and possibly a record sale price at the time, for a house of its type and location in Greensborough. There is clear evidence that he went the extra distance to achieve a very successful auction result and we reaped a bonus beyond reasonable expectation. David stands apart as an agent because he makes it his business to properly value properties based on hard evidence, he relates very well to all he meets, he knows well the property he is selling, its locality and how to best market it. David is prepared to go the extra distance to ensure not just any sale, but rather a successful outcome that reflects the true worth of the property. Such great results require extra time dedication and effort. Our experience with David has demonstrated that the best vendor’s agent is not necessarily the one with the highest sales volume record. We greatly enjoyed the journey David and we have no hesitation in recommending his services to others. Many thanks, Ian & Yvonne

At all times during the sale period of this property I found Scott to be professional, enthusiastic and hard working. At all times he had my best interests at heart. This was particularly so as for a large part of the sale period l was overseas. Scott made sure the property was maintained in a presentable fashion and kept me aware of open day results and any other relevant information. I was also thankful for suggestions on how to best present the property for auction as this was my first. His local knowledge was exhibited by his suggested reserve price and the end result. I have no hesitation in recommending Scott as a real estate agent.

I am employed by one of the largest private investment groups in Australia. Our #1 asset is our reputation and our work ethic is aptly summed up by the phrase “under promise, over deliver”. The Buckingham team recently sold my property with Scott Anderson leading the sales campaign and Stuart Buckingham concluding the auction. The results were outstanding and true to the saying “under promise, over deliver”. The outstanding results were delivered by a combination of the following; • Leveraging the experience of Scott Anderson’s long term association with Watsonia spanning 30 years living in or working in the suburb. No agent knows more about the Watsonia property market; • A concise, clever and restrained marketing campaign designed to maximize the property’s value; • A single minded determination to advocate for my property culminating in over 80 inspections (more than double my expectations); • Sound practical advice on required maintenance/improvements to the property prior to sale; • A high quality auction process with Stuart Buckingham’s 20 years+ experience as an auctioneer coming to the fore; and • More than a little hard work. Select your agent based on long term experience, local knowledge and their delivery record – not on false promises! I strongly encourage anyone in the surrounding areas of Watsonia to consider Scott Anderson or Stuart Buckingham to list their property.

We dealt with many realestate agents in the area over the past 2 years, and Scott was one of the few that consistently followed up and supported us in our quest to find the perfect home for my family. A reliable and friendly individual who was flexible and accomodating. Thank you Scott.
