We recently purchased a property at auction and had little involvement with Richard until after the purchase. After the purchase we have had several interactions with Richard and have found him to be very responsive and helpful which has been really appreciated. It's great to see an agent that's being helpful even though there's no additional commission riding on his engagement. Good luck Ricahrd and we'll let you know when we go from purchaser to Vendor.

We were provided three different agent proposals from recommendations from our investment property managing agent. Buxtons was by the far the most impressive package of the three we received. From the outset they felt the most professional and the decision to go with them was not hard to make. From our fist meeting with Richard Slade to the final signing of our sold property the professionalism and communication could not be faulted. We had phone calls after each open day explaining the numbers of inspections and feedback. On the auction day we were introduced to Mark Earle - the auctioneer. Mark also proved to excellent and conducted the auction in a friendly, humorous, non pushy manner, professional but not over the top. In the end we sold the property for much more than we expected. Everything about the way Buxtons/Richard/Sarah/Mark conducted themselves in dealing with us could not be faulted and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to sell a property.

Unlike the stereotype realestate agent who's intimidating and pushy, Richard Slade was the complete opposite. Richard was professional, personable and most of all he made me feel comfortable and relaxed about selling my home. Where Richard excelled was at the business end, negotiating a great result and exceeding my expectations. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone looking to sell in the bayside area.

I was attempting to buy a property before Auction while I was overseas. Richard did a fine job of negotiating with the owners and my representatives in my absence to swiftly come to a mutually satisfactory price, all with a minimum of fuss. Richard was realistic and honest with his feedback and suggestions and I have no hesitation in recommending him to other buyers.

I had the most pleasant and efficient sale process with Richard Slade and his team from Buxton in Sandringham. Everything was handled in a transparent, professional and prompt manner with sincerity. I was always kept well informed as to the progress in matters relating to the preparation of my property for sale, from marketing strategy and advertising, to auction process and negotiations all the way to settlement. Thank you Richard for your high level of service and securing an excellent sale price for my property. I am more than happy to recommend Richard and can see a long and successful career ahead for this leading Bayside agent!

Professional, responsive, accommodating. Really a pleasure to deal with.

Richard recently assisted us with a fairly spare of the moment decision to purchase and we found his assistance after the sale extremely professional and above and beyond what was required. He has communicated clearly throughout the process and whilst his job is to sell he makes a good job of making it an informed choice and not pushing any hard sell.

I think Richard Slade is the best and nicest person i could have meet to sell our house, we had another agent as was glad to get rid of them, and have Richard to take control. I am so happy with Richard that I have given him another home to sell for me, he was always on the phone to me and keeped me up to date with everything. A beautiful person thank you Richard

Richard was fabulous to work with, a great communicator and available for discussion regarding the sale of our property 24/7. Highly recommended!

We chose Richard as our agent because he seemed professional right from the start. His communication is great, always keeping us updated. Although we didn't sell at auction, we sold a few days later thanks to his hard work. I recommend Richard.
