Great Agent

I was pretty nervous about choosing an agent to sell our house. We met with a few different agents, but I was comfortable with James. He is easy to relate to and he didn't put any pressure on us. He was always available for a chat and we were kept informed of what was happening at each stage. The campaign overall was well organised with he and his team doing everything possible to get the job done. We sold for a great price, but even if we didn't, I would still call on James to sell my property in future. He's reliable from the beginning to the end and he won't pressure you to sell for less than you should. If you're considering using James, I'd say go for it.

A true professional!

Many thanks to James for his dedication and professionalism in selling my property. James was well prepared for initial meeting and provided factual and well researched information which greatly assisted our decision making. James has thorough understanding of the suburb and is a clear communicator. I recommend James and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.

A big thank you to James from Buxton.

Many thanks to James for his professionalism and dedication in selling my home. I got the price I wanted. The entire sales process was made easy from start to finish. If you want a professional to sell your home look no further than James from Buxton. In addition James was easy to talk to, nothing was too difficult and he was always available to talk to. Thanks again!!

Wonderfull Agent - Completely met our needs!

James Katantonis was such a calming and supportive guide and advocate for us in selling our house - He seemed to be the senior agent in the Buxon team and as such we reckon that he 'set the scene' in terms of an approach to meeting our needs. We were selling our family home of 24 years, so this was a huge and emotional thing for us! James completely acknowledged this and helped us with every element of the sale. His reassuring manner was both sincere and timely...Thanks James and the team at Buxton Ashburton!

Great Agent

I met James when I purchased my investment property through his agency in 2015. He kept me well informed about the local market conditions and provided regular updates on sales results throughout the past 2 years. When I recently decided to put the my property on the market I really only considered using James due to his knowledge and understanding of the local market. We decided on an auction campaign but the property sold early in less than 1 week. James was very open at all times and happy to give his honest opinion without placing any pressure to make a hasty decision. I would recommend James to another vendor without hesitation.

Outstanding result from excellent advice

I wish to endorse Buxton Real Estate and in particular the work ethics of James and Jesse. I had responsibility to sell a family home of over 90 years to assist four separate beneficiaries so it had to be successful. I approached the problem by interviewing four separate Real Estate Agents in the area, gained proposals from each and examined their past sales with an emphasis on maximum per square metre price results whilst considering some of the house variables. The whole aim was to have the facts should my family question my actions. James and Jesse were hungry for the business and went out of their way to explain their process of database marketing and then tailor a solution based on my circumstances. They answered my questions clearly and dealt with my sceptical nature with good humour and honesty. I asked them to justify winning my business and after examining all the proposals they did. The result was a campaign and commission structure with incentives that would encourage Buxton to achieve fair value and to work harder for any extra rewards. Now I expected them to perform but I decided I must also support their success and worked with them as openly as possible to avoid any vendor obstacles. Over the campaign I continued to question their activities and found them prompt, professional and offering sensible advice. The final result was outstanding with a new record for land in Ashburton and a price $182500 over the set reserve. The key to this success was good teamwork and Buxton allowed this to happen. Jesse worked the process relentlessly and created the interest required to achieve this result. I can’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend you consider them as your agent. Sincerely, Bruce Burns

Very helpful and easy to deal with.

James made the whole process of selling our house easy. Due to circumstances beyond our control I was left with finalizing everything and moving us - James could not have done anything more to help me. Thanks James it was a pleasure to work with you.

Great negotiating skills.

James was helpful, honest and insightful into sales trends in Ashwood. His advice was timely and his negotiating skills were excellent resulting in the sale of my home prior to auction.! I would not hesitate in recommending James and Buxtons.

Would not hesitate to recommend James to anyone who is planning to sell their house in the future.

I am writing to thank and commend James and his team for the very successful campaign and sale of our family property. From the very beginning, James knowledge of the property market was amazing and accurate. He could not have been more professional, friendly or helpful. James and his team ran the campaign smoothly with everything that we had discussed adhered to. I have no reservation in recommending James and his team for the successful sale of your property.
