Experienced professional who goes above and beyond

Richard is a pleasure to deal with. He keeps you informed throughout the sales campaign and answers any questions, no matter how small. Richard has good local knowledge of the property market. He is willing to go that extra mile, even down to vacuuming the carpet on the day of auction! I'd highly recommend Richard and the Buxton St Kilda team.

Professional, Personable and Delivered Results!

I worked with Richard, and the team at Buxton, to sell my property earlier this year. Richard was always a delight to speak with and was well informed about both the market and my sales campaign. He was able to provide me with meaningful feedback about the progress of my campaign, responded quickly to any of my requests and delivered a great sales result come auction day. I would recommend Richard.

Apartment Living!!!

Richard was a pleasure to deal with, genuine, honest and solution driven. Made the whole process from start to finish simple, stress and easy, which is great when you have never sold at auction before. Thank you, heres hoping the new owners enjoy the place as much as we did!

A rarity: a professional and yet pleasant experience

When I first contacted Richard months before I was ready to sell he impressed me with his professionalism which made it easy to decide to go with him. He was quick and thorough in giving me feedback as to the best approach to selling my apartment. I was confident my property wasn't just another apartment to sell. Once the marketing campaign began I continued to be impressed with Richard; he constantly kept me updated so I knew exactly how the campaign was progressing. He continued to be professional and yet down-to-earth. I recommend Richard very highly.

Purchased a Property from Buxton

I found Richard to be a pleasure to deal with. The price paid was in the quoted price range. He kept in contact but I didn't feel pressured or hassled.
