Dedicated, persistent and hard working!

It has been a pleasure to have Joy be part of the team selling our Unit. Joy continually updated us during the campaign and afterwards. Even with some of the obstacles during the process, Joy maintained a high level of commitment and continued to assure us that we would get the outcome we were after. Between herself and James Karantonis, they delivered. I would recommend Joy to anyone who is looking for a committed, hard working and frank Real Estate Agent.

Great Agent

I met James when I purchased my investment property through his agency in 2015. He kept me well informed about the local market conditions and provided regular updates on sales results throughout the past 2 years. When I recently decided to put the my property on the market I really only considered using James due to his knowledge and understanding of the local market. We decided on an auction campaign but the property sold early in less than 1 week. James was very open at all times and happy to give his honest opinion without placing any pressure to make a hasty decision. I would recommend James to another vendor without hesitation.

Outstanding result from excellent advice

I wish to endorse Buxton Real Estate and in particular the work ethics of James and Jesse. I had responsibility to sell a family home of over 90 years to assist four separate beneficiaries so it had to be successful. I approached the problem by interviewing four separate Real Estate Agents in the area, gained proposals from each and examined their past sales with an emphasis on maximum per square metre price results whilst considering some of the house variables. The whole aim was to have the facts should my family question my actions. James and Jesse were hungry for the business and went out of their way to explain their process of database marketing and then tailor a solution based on my circumstances. They answered my questions clearly and dealt with my sceptical nature with good humour and honesty. I asked them to justify winning my business and after examining all the proposals they did. The result was a campaign and commission structure with incentives that would encourage Buxton to achieve fair value and to work harder for any extra rewards. Now I expected them to perform but I decided I must also support their success and worked with them as openly as possible to avoid any vendor obstacles. Over the campaign I continued to question their activities and found them prompt, professional and offering sensible advice. The final result was outstanding with a new record for land in Ashburton and a price $182500 over the set reserve. The key to this success was good teamwork and Buxton allowed this to happen. Jesse worked the process relentlessly and created the interest required to achieve this result. I can’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend you consider them as your agent. Sincerely, Bruce Burns

Very helpful and easy to deal with.

James made the whole process of selling our house easy. Due to circumstances beyond our control I was left with finalizing everything and moving us - James could not have done anything more to help me. Thanks James it was a pleasure to work with you.

Great negotiating skills.

James was helpful, honest and insightful into sales trends in Ashwood. His advice was timely and his negotiating skills were excellent resulting in the sale of my home prior to auction.! I would not hesitate in recommending James and Buxtons.

A very positive experience

In a world of real estate hot air, James was refreshngly plain-speaking and made a potentially stressful experience quite straightforward. He identified the best buyer and worked quickly and effectively on my behalf to produce a very pleasing result.

Exceptional Agent

James Karantonis Re- Sale of 3/5 Yunki Court, Ashwood. With one telephone enquiry to Buxton Real Estate, we had the pleasure to be introduced to James Karantonis regarding the sale of our above property. James, discussed the different aspects of the sale and I was convinced of his sales strategy in every step, of his very professional approach. He was pleasant and we were happy that further opinion from other agents were unwanted. He guided us and kept informed on the progress and status after each open day inspection. James, exercised all due care with the property until the conclusion of the offer. His negotiation skills and knowledge procured a buyer before the auction day very much to our delight and expectations. My own experience in many past sales and purchases, I will not hesitate to rate James Karantonis, as an 'Exceptional Agent' to any potential vendor. Thank you, James. K.

Awesome Agent

James recently sold our property in Ashwood and we were incredibly happy with the outcome of the sale. From the minute we signed with Buxton, James was fantastic through the entire sale process. We would happily recommend James as an agent to anyone selling in area.
