Trusting the sale of a home that had been in the family for 66 years was quite an emotional decision hence we interviewed agents from four local companies. Chris Hassell from Buxton Bentleigh massively outshone the competition. Chris was extremely generous with his time at each meeting and answered our many questions honestly and without the dramatisation and over-salesmanship that can come from estate agents. He also gave a reasonable estimated price bracket based on the current market conditions. This actually varied between agents however we felt Chris’ estimate to be the most accurate based on our independent research. Chris even passed the dog test showing great care, warmth and attention towards my elderly dog... subtle traits often give insightful information on the natural character of a person! Throughout the auction campaign Chris kept us appraised with detailed updates after each open for inspection. At our meeting a couple of days prior to auction Chris ran through the possible scenarios, from best to worst, that could occur on auction day which was great as it settled any nerves and we felt very well prepared. Come auction day we knew we were in the best hands and we followed Chris’ sound advice as the auction proceeded. Although reserve was not met, the resulting negotiation with the top bidder provided us a the perfect outcome. Chris was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. If you are looking for an enthusiastic, dynamic, honest, integrous and well experienced agent who will work with total focus on gaining the best result for you, I highly recommend you meet and speak with Chris Hassell!

After doing our research on Real Estate Agent’s in our area Chris was the stand-out for us. We were looking for an Auctioneer who had that something special and we saw that in Chris. After meeting with Chris in person this confirmed that he was the right fit for us. We wanted someone who was passionate, genuine, committed and that’s what we got! His unparalleled skills will get you the best result on the day! It’s been a great experience selling our first home and we are excited to work with Chris and the team at Buxton again the future. Thanks again, Sam & Tash

Chris certainly understand the market and especially the local market in the Ormond area. I feel Chris worked hard to achieve the amount we wanted and he succeeded.

Chris kept us informed every step of the way during the campaign. His positive, informed and honest attitude, meant their were no surprises, leading into auction day. His team worked very hard in achieving the best possible result at auction and we were impressed with Chris' skills as an auctioneer. In all, We felt very well looked after.

Chris was a very knowledgeable and open agent. He listened and advised well on how to present the house. How to run the campaign and how to get the best price.

After recently selling 2 properties with Chris Hassall, I can highly recommend Chris as an agent to sell your property. Chris is very down to earth and easy to communicate with and respects your decisions. It has been a pleasure to work with Chris and the rest of the Bentleigh Buxton Team!

Would I will recommend Chris to family and friends ? 100%. To Chris and the Buxton team Thank you once again for the excellent service. John & Sophie

I met with Chris several years ago after recommendation from family and friends. We had a family dual occupancy of two separate townhouses each on their own title. After the death of my mother Chris met with me and assessed both my properties and discussed my options of whether to sell one, sell two or rent one. Chris was extremely understanding of my circumstances and was happy to give me any information that I needed in order to make a decision. I decided to rent out one of the properties through Buxton Bentleigh and told Chris I was not ready to sell at that time but would let him manage my sale when the time was right. Several years later I thought I was ready and met with Chris again to discuss selling. I realised then I was still not emotionally ready to part with my property and Chris was never annoyed or pushy and just wanted me to be sure. I truly appreciated his patience and the valuable time that he spent with me. I was finally able to make the decision to sell and Chris has just sold one of my properties and the whole sales process (which is overwhelming for vendors) was a very straight forward and easy process. Chris and all the Buxton staff were a delight to deal with they were professional, punctual, courteous and at all stages of the process Chris was respectful of my wishes and ideas, he always listened and kept me confident and never spoke negatively of my property and was fairly spot on with his appraisal and value. He achieved a price higher than expected and I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to find an agent to sell their house.

We did our due diligence and met a few agents before selecting Chris Hassel from Buxton Bentleigh. But, we knew after we met him the first time that he would be the right agent to sell our home. What impressed us the most was his professionalism, warmth, integrity and knowledge of the market. He was always honest with us to ensure we had realistic expectations. He was prompt in returning phone calls and emails and never made us feel rushed. We also appreciated that Chris never made us feel pressured to make any decisions. We have been lucky to work with Chris as both buyers and sellers and both experiences were great. There is no hesitation in recommending Chris if you are looking for an agent to sell your home.

Chris service both in the lead up and after the auction was first class, gave us a lot of options and when we chose one he was behind it fully. Would always ring after an open inspection and give us an update of who came thru and if anyone was interested. To be able to negotiate after the auction to get the best possible price for us was second to none. To top it all off he's a top bloke who just wanted the best for us, thanks Chris Brendon and Sarah Lade

Chris was professional, honest and incredibly hard working. He went above and beyond to achieve better than our expectations. Will be asking him to manage the sale of any future properties!

We found Chris via rate my agent and was very impressed with his honesty and professionalism. We spoke to three agents and whilst he wasn't the one quoting the highest expected price, he explained his process and expectations clearly. One thing we have learned in using agents is trusting your agent, Chris was very easy to trust and his experience speaks for itself. His communication was great, looking at the positives and building on them. I highly recommend using Chris and his team at Buxton Bentleigh were a pleasure to deal with, prompt and courteous. Thank you Chris.
