We were very happy with the service and advice from Andrew and the team at Buxtons Camberwell. Fantastic market knowledge and communication that made us feel part of the team working towards getting us a great result. Would highly recommend.
With plans and permits approved Andrew was able to negotiate a great result for our property. Andrew used his network of contacts to broaden the pool of potential buyers and with the help of Luke Bartholomew closed the deal. At all times we were kept informed of progress and we are very happy with the result achieved and would recommend Andrews service based on our positive experience.
This is the second property that Andrew has sold for us and again it was seamless from his appointment to the actual sale. We would be happy to use his services again without any hesitation. He provided terrific professional opinion, integrity and guidance through the process.
Rarely do we find a genuinely nice agent these days but it was such a pleasure when we first inspected the property and met Andrew and his colleague Luke. Both extended a warmness and sincerity that are rare in this industry. We would like to commend Andrew on his professionalism and working with us on our offer to secure the home. He has been wonderful to deal with.
I must begin by saying that after interviewing several agents from different agencies, I came to the conclusion that the Real Estate sector is intrinsically unethical, bordering upon fraudulent, takes advantage of unsuspecting vendors, and warrants an immediate State Goverment inquiry or Royal Commission. I will be writing to the appropriate Ministers calling for such scrutiny. However, I have to say that I believe Andrew acted with integrity and supported / guided us thoughtfully and sensitively through a process that is very complicated; especially to the uninitiated. I trusted Andrew, because I both wanted and needed to trust him. He was entrusted with handling the biggest transaction of our life. Because so much happens ‘behind’ the scene so-to-speak, trust is essential. You have to believe that the agent is in the vendors corner and not the prospective buyer. I know this is tricky because each needs the other, but it’s important from a trust perspective to always feel that the agent is looking after you as the vendor - the agent is the only interface between both. We trusted Andrew from day 1 and to the best of our knowledge he didn’t let us down. Many of the other agents were slick and smooth, but Andrew presented and proved himself to be very genuine. He didn’t spent most of his time telling us how good he was, instead he encouraged and supported us, and in the end demonstrated how good he was.
We have used several agents over the years and he was simply outstanding. The care and attention to detail was impeccable and his understanding of market conditions was beyond reproach. It's important to have faith and trust in an agent particularly when you have an emotional attachment to your home of 35 years and you want the right person to enjoy the home as much as you have. Well done Andrew. Ed & Sue
I called Andrew as soon as I saw the house on the internet. He was friendly, professional and firm. After inspection, we made an offer, increased it and made a second offer and determined sadly it was out of our price range. Andrew followed us up and provided extra information on the quality and value of the house and its renovation. This gave us confidence to pay more than we intended, because we became convinced of the quality of the house. His protection of the vendors and other buyers during the negotiations demonstrated a strong ethical framework and his friendly, open communication helped us decide to buy at a high price. We were looking for a house but we bought a home.
We were very happy with Andrew's management of our off-market sale, especially his knowledge of the local area and ability to find a buyer and close the deal.
Andrew is a true professional.He has great market knowledge,is persistent,and looks after every detail.He quickly found the right buyer and his negotiation skill to then get the right price was exceptional.Above all he is a really nice guy and a pleasure to deal with.
Andrew was never pushy, always punctual, friendly and helpful. His communication skills are excellent, always following up any aspect, be it good or bad, with a phone call. Our house sold for a price in excess of what we were expecting and within one week of the first open for inspection. In a city full of estate agents he is definitely one worth talking to.
We chose Andrew as he was only agent to keep in contact with us on a regular basis after our initial enquiry two years ago! (It may have helped that he is a Hawthorn fan!) His honest and pragmatic approach gave us the confidence that we could trust him with the responsibility of selling our precious family home of twenty four years.
