About Tristan
Tristan’s greatest attribute is in making each of his clients feel at ease and exhibiting his always positive demeanour and ‘can do’ attitude. When representing his clients, Tristan continually maintains the highest ethical standards, which makes him popular with buyers and sellers alike. For Tristan, he views his clients’ homes as his homes fuelling his hunger to achieve the best outcome for all parties involved. Educated at St Margaret Mary’s Primary School in Spotswood and St Kevins College Toorak, Tristan then went on to study within the American College system, whilst playing competitive NCAA Lacrosse. Upon his return he pursued his love of real estate that had already surrounded him throughout his whole life. With a career spanning almost two decades, Tristan was mentored by Renzo Tomasino, not only a very successful estate agent within the Inner-West of some 35 years, but also his father. ‘Being mentored by my father was the hardest, yet best way to progress to where I currently am in the industry. He treated me like any other employee and I had to work hard, long hours, constantly learning that the way we treat a client and the manner in which we achieve exceptional prices go hand in hand’. Growing up and still residing in Yarraville, Tristan’s intimate knowledge of the market, amenities and community come to the fore when demonstrating to buyers the many unique reasons for purchasing in the area. His passion for the Inner West’s neighbourhoods, cultural diversity and demographic has given him a unique, and truly local perspective of the area. Over the years, he has been involved with the Footscray and Williamstown Lacrosse Clubs, Yarraville Glory SC, Yarraville Tennis Club and Westside Netball Club. The mad Collingwood supporter and avid foodie can also be spotted with his wife, Eliza, in many of the Inner West’s lively hotspots from their favourite pho joint in Braybrook, or Vietnamese bakery in Footscray, to the many coffee shops and cafes throughout Seddon and Yarraville. Never taking the Inner West lifestyle for granted, the neighbourhoods are perfect for his young family to thrive, often venturing to Yarraville Gardens, Cruickshank Park and Williamstown Beach with Eliza, their boys Sonny and Raff, and their chocolate Lab, Lenni.

About Peter
Living and working in Melbourne’s west has been Peter’s whole life. From growing up in Altona North (where he currently resides) to attending Williamstown Primary School and Williamstown High School, his love for the area not only revolves around his network of friends, family and clients, but the community itself. Highly ambitious and with an infectious energy, the social aspect of the job, his ability to build solid relationships with his clients and his strong local knowledge of the area have been the driving forces behind his success. Outside of work, the avid Hawks and Arsenal supporter can often be found out and about in the West, whether it’s a round of kick to kick in the park or enjoying the Westside’s burgeoning foodie scene and night life.

Transparent, communicative, and professional

Matt and his team couldn’t have been more accommodating throughout the sale of our home. They were transparent, communicative, and professional every step of the way, making the entire process seamless from start to finish. We were extremely pleased with both the experience and the outcome of the sale. Matt’s knowledge, guidance, and commitment gave us confidence throughout the campaign, and the result exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t recommend Matt and the team at Buxton highly enough.

Clear Communication & Excellent Support

We had a fantastic experience purchasing our home through Matthew, Peter, and the team at Buxton. They were responsive, professional, and always willing to answer our questions. They accommodated inspections at short notice and made the buying process feel straightforward and well managed. After the auction, they guided us through each step with clear communication and excellent support. We would highly recommend Matthew, Peter, and the Buxton team to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. As a buyer if I had a positive experience I can only imagine what it is like working with this team as a seller.

Successfully sold three of my properties

Handled three properties for my family and successfully sold all of them. Two were sold prior to auction and one at auction. A great operator throughout the entire process — professional, reliable, and achieved strong results on each sale. Very happy with the outcomes and couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
