During our engagement with Derek and his staff we encountered not only a very professional office and agent, but also an agent who understood the current market conditions in the local area and guided us in a manner that allowed our property to be sold in record time. Derek is engaging and passionate about his craft and his enthusiasm for his work is displayed in his energetic and positive attitude. I would highly recommend him to my family and friends.

All the staff at Baston and Co Property were fantastic, as first home buyers we knew basically nothing on the process of buying a house, they helped and answered all of our silly questions we had, even if it wasn't in relation to them directly they would help out and get answers. extremely high knowledge of the area that they sell in compared to other agency's that we spoke with. Derek went above and beyond at all kinds of hours in getting our paperwork done and signed that we are very grateful for. would defiantly recommend them to anyone.

The people to see if you're dealing with property in Victoria Park.

The people to see if you're dealing with property in Victoria Park.

Our property was under offer the same day the listing went up on realeastate.com.au and was sold at a price we were very happy with and set a record for sales in the building. We put our property up for sale in a very soft market and with 5 other units for sale in the same building at the same time (all having difficulty selling), we wanted to choose an agent who we felt would give us the edge in such a challenging market. I'd met Derek probably 10 years ago (or more) when he was working for another company and selling properties in our building and was impressed by his professionalism and hard-working attitude. Over the years, I'd heard his name pop out around the town and knew he was an expert on the area. Whilst Baston & Co may not be the cheapest agent in our area, the knowledge and confidence they give you is second to none. We decided they were the only ones we'd trust to sell our property and they did not disappoint. We will definitely have them sell any future properties we own in the area and are looking to buy back into Vic Park in the future!

In terms of dealing with Lee & Derek Baston the whole process went extremely well and was done with the minimum of fuss. What ever questions I asked or needed to be done was actioned very quickly.

Derek was brilliant from start to finish. He was so easy to communicate with and we felt we could utterly trust him to look after our best interests. We appreciated the considerable amount of time he spent getting to know us and our lovely house. As a local, he is very knowledgable and very passionate about Vic Park and its community and is proactively vested in its betterment. We would thoroughly recommend both Derek and Lee and their support crew.

Wonderful welcome to the neighbourhood

Derek was a wonderful agent to deal with and his knowledge of the East Victoria Park area is incredible. We found him to be very authentic and transparent, which made us feel comfortable throughout our purchase process. Would happily recommend Derek and his team to anyone interested in buying or selling within the East Victoria Park region.

If you are in the market for the VicPark area then he's the best. I wouldn't bother going to someone else unless you want to be disappointed.

Great experience with strong local knowledge

Great experience with strong local knowledge

I found Derek to be very professional and his local knowledge of the Victoria Park area gave him greater credibility and the advantage of having a wealth of information and knowledge relevant to our situation. Derek and Lee have also had a very welcoming and personal approach to their service. I have also experienced this when we used them as the property managers.

Extremely happy with my experience

I sold my villa in East Victoria Park through Baston & Co Property and was extremely happy with the experience. I first met Derek Baston when looking at a separate property that was being sold through them on my street, and was impressed with the easy-going professionalism he exhibited. When it came time to sell my property i found Derek and the rest of his team were well informed on the market, communicated changes and issues to me promptly (in terms i could understand!), and handled everything in a manner which took the usual stress of selling a property out of the equation. I would happily recommend them to anyone requiring the services of a real estate agent as they will also be my first point of contact should i need one in future.
