Approachable and Genuine :-)

Derek and his team are genuine, down to earth people who are wonderful to work with. We have really appreciated the warm, approachable manner of all at Baston and Co, both in dealing with ourselves as sellers and with our buyers. Selling a well loved home is naturally an emotional rollercoaster ride & it was nice to be in ‘good hands’ knowing that we would be given sound advice and made to laugh along the way. In a difficult market, Derek and his team ensured we left no stone unturned in finding the perfect buyer match for our home. We very much appreciate everything that Baston and Co have done.

Simple, Easy and Great Results

I interviewed several agents before I met Derek. Right from the outset I found Derek to be highly knowledgable about the local area (East Victoria Park), genuine and honest and a nice guy to boot (despite his love of the Dockers). He offered some great suggestions for how the house should be presented for photos and home opens, which we took on board and he was proactive in meeting our (fairly tight) deadlines for getting the house to market. He and the office staff at Baston and Co. accomodated my unique position of being overseas for much of the on-market period by communicating with me via alternate means (Whatsapp etc.) which was greatly appreciated. I also found the agents fees to be very reasonable. Overall, I was very happy with my decision to use Derek and his team and will recommend them to anyone needing to sell a house in the area.

A great agent

The team at Baston and Co are very professional and efficient. Derek is very approachable and helpful, takes the time to explain things and he guided us through the whole process. He knows the area very well and gave us astute advice during the selling process and helpful tips for our property. We would definitely recommend Baston and Co.

What a fabulous team at Baston and Co!

What a fabulous team at Baston and Co!

Derek and his team (Rickie and Joni) did an amazing job helping us purchase our new home and within only a few weeks, sell our old home. We put an offer on a home on a whim and it was accepted subject to the sale of our own home. We were a little worried but within 3 weeks Derek had sold our old home for a fabulous price! His team were always approachable when we had questions, guided us through the whole process and made us feel comfortable in every situation. In what could have been a very stressful situation, we felt supported and as a result, capable. Baston and co have local knowledge and are genuinely passionate about Vic Park. We will not hesitate to recommend them to others, and will always be thankful for them helping us making our dream home a reality!

Effective and personalised service from start to finish

Effective and personalised service from start to finish

I had to sell my deceased mum's house recently and after getting a few appraisals, settled on Derek and his team at Baston and Co. What swayed me was his track record and also people I know who recommended him enthusiastically. Derek took the time to get to know me and the history of the family home and we settled on a strategy. Derek, Lee and the staff in the office all work together wonderfully as a team so at any point I could contact someone to keep things moving. Despite the challenging market at the time, we achieved a timely sale and a price we are very happy with. I can't recommend Derek and the team highly enough - they are thoroughly professional but also provide very personalised service which made them a pleasure to deal with.
