It was always a pleasure to visit a property which Derek was selling. He was extremely engaging but he had a thorough knowledge of the property and such odd ball things as the CCTV and solar panels and which neighbour was cutting the lawn and he helped us with our queries both before and after the sale. He had advised the seller to sell by closed tender and, to our dismay as buyers, this produced the best possible (but we think a fair) result for the seller.

Derek is an excellent communicator with great market knowledge and a very professional agent.

From our first meeting we knew Derek Baston and Co we're the ones to sell our house. Derek has a great manner and personality about him. Derek went out of his way to be available whenever we had a query regardless of the time of day or evening. We would also like to mention Rickie in the office for her work as well. Derek has an excellent team working hard to sell our home Would we recommend Derek Baston and Co to sell your house, bloody oath we would.

Derek has a huge wealth of knowledge about Vic Park, its surroundings and also the businesses, contractors and everything else that is around to help facilitate ideas you may have of your property and was able to provide great insight into how the property stacked up against other similar in the area. He was welcoming and a character we genuinely enjoyed guiding us through the purchase. Always prompt with responses to emails or calls and very honest and open about what comes next in the purchasing chain, what to expect and when, which made everything very clear and simple to understand. I feel with a few details we needed to sort out that he went above and beyond to ensure everyone was happy and felt at ease with the purchase. Great guy and an outstanding professional who acted with integrity and operated in a trustworthy manner, no pressuring, just provide all the information required and then gave the space required for me to make my decision.

Had my brother pass away in Perth. I live in Melbourne. Derek and the team made things happen from afar with the best possible result coming for us. Nothing was a problem for Derek. Super personable great outlook on life and extremely patient. Recommend his services to anyone.

We recently sold my Mum's home with Derek's help. His local experience and knowledge of the market were invaluable to us. Derek arranged everything and dealt with glitches as they arose. He went above and beyond and we always felt supported and kept in the loop. Would highly recommend.

We had a refreshing experience working with Derek to purchase our first home. From the very beginning, he was professional, responsive, and highly knowledgeable, which made the entire process feel far less overwhelming. Derek was always happy to answer our questions and was transparent and forthcoming with information that was genuinely useful to us. That level of honesty made us feel confident, respected, and genuinely looked after throughout the process. We never felt pressured at any point, Derek simply provided us with the information we needed and allowed us the space to make our own decisions. It was clear he had our best interests at heart, and we truly enjoyed working with him. We couldn’t have asked for a better first home buying experience and would highly recommend Derek to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional agent.

Derek Baston’s reputation in the Vic Park area as an honest and professional hard working real estate agent is 100% accurate. From start to finish of selling our home we could not fault Derek’s work. House was sold with minimum inconvenience, above price expectation and settled on the day negotiated. Derek’s friendly disposition was a bonus. If you are wanting someone who you can trust- Derek is your man!

From the first moment we walked into the door of what is now our home, Derek's warmth and desire to make us feel heard contributed to our trust and respect for him as a real estate agent. He answered all of our questions, and even now that we're in our home, we know that we can turn to him for tips on who to turn to fix things. We warmly recommend him, and can assure anyone thinking of buying or selling a place with him that they are in good hands.

Derek was very helpful and if we were ever in need of a real estate agent again, we would not hesitate to give him a call.

Derek was slick, professional, and attentive throughout the buying process - ensured the experience was a efficient and trouble-free.

Our circumstances made this a particularly stressful sale, but Derek’s clear communication, professionalism, and market knowledge made the entire process far smoother. He was in control from start to finish, keeping us informed and at ease despite time pressures and external factors. Derek is an incredibly kind, genuine, and knowledgeable agent, and we would happily and confidently use him again to buy or sell. Thanks again, Derek!
