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.

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.

Sold in a few weeks!

Matthew handled the sale of our Spotswood home and had it sold within two weeks of going to market. He was professional and straightforward to deal with, kept us informed at each step, and guided us through the contract and negotiation without any fuss. The result met our expectations and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Happy to recommend Matthew and the Buxton Inner West team.

Excellent

Matthew was excellent, very knowledgeable of the local area. He didn't overpromise when we first met, gave some good advice and kept us up to date. I felt at all times he was very professional and acting in our best interests but also being quite considerate towards the buyers requirements.

Wonderful suburb, and market knowledge

I have now bought and sold with Matthew. He is incredibly professional, very transparent and has wonderful suburb, and market knowledge. The sale of the apartment felt like it was going to be hard work, but Matthew and his team achieved a result well above expectations in such a short period on the market. Would use him again! Highly recommend!
