We met Simon at an open for inspection in 2014 and found him to be genuine and honest. We invited him to do an appraisal on our property. From 2014 Simon kept in touch periodically and gave us updated information about the market and properties in our area. He never put us under any pressure to sell. This year (2016) when we decided to sell we thought of Simon and Buxton. During this process we believe that he has always been candid and he gave us open and honest answers. He did not heighten our expectations. What impressed with Simon and what helped us, was his continued positivity and optimism his energy and ability to support us during what was a stressful time. He kept us informed during the whole process and we never felt even up to the auction pressure to sell if it wasn't right for us.

We found Simon and James to be approachable and down to earth, which made dealing with them refreshing and easy. Thank you. We are very excited and happy!

We recently sold our investment property with Simon Pintado of Buxton’s Bentleigh. Simon was confident and reassuring throughout the process of the sale. He and James kept us informed of everything that was going on. Their communication was very thorough. We will use Simon again for any future property sales in the neighbourhood.

I met Simon 6 years ago to do an appraisal on our property. Since then he has maintained consistent contact and built a genuine trust and relationship. When it came to making a decision to sell, Simon was the first person I wanted to contact to discuss our decision. He and James came prepared. Simon was very professional, clear and concise with the process. He was realistic in his assessment of the property. He and James were very clear about their schedules and the marketing of the property. Simon always provided us with feedback after opens or any enquiries that arose. I highly recommend Simon’s services to anyone who is thinking of selling a property. You will not go elsewhere. He will go above and beyond your expectations to ensure that the journey of selling your home, is a smooth process and a positive one. I would happily say that we will be contacting Simon if we require his services in the future.

Whilst doing some research about the townhouse market in Bentleigh I came across Simon at a couple of properties similar to my own. He presented very well, was very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour too. He was the first agent to contact me after the weekend and I invited him and two other agents to suggest a way forward regarding selling my property. Although all three agents did a very good job, I chose Simon as he impressed me the most with well-planned campaign, great professionalism and great advice on how to sell the property. Simon was extremely effective all the way through the campaign, with great attention to detail and fantastic communication too. Although he is a really busy agent, he never missed a beat! I would recommend Simon highly to anyone considering selling. Simon is a great pleasure to deal with and he is highly professional too.

We met Simon several years ago as we inspected a property we loved. Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful in gaining that property, but recently, with Simon’s help again, we were successful. Simon is extremely reliable, always available when advice is needed, and quick to respond. His sense of humour is a great antidote to the stress of property acquisition. Simon also worked closely with us on two other recent family property sales. Having him involved was extremely reassuring for us as he provided design advice and legal liaison, and we felt very well supported. We hope Simon will always be involved with our family property transactions.

Dealings with Simon were fantastic. We would recommend him to anyone.

I haven't dealt with Simon before. Simon was introduced to me by his Buxton colleague Matthew Pillios. Simon has greatly impressed me with his knowledge of the market, communication and negotiation skills. By applying right strategy and "fine tuning" it through out the campaign, he managed to gather a large group of prospective buyers and to keep them keen all the way to the auction. The result he achieved was astonishing. I could not be happier. Would strongly recommend Simon.

Simon made the transaction easy to manoeuvre through, he understood our concerns with the contract and provided professional advice and successfully negotiated with the vendor to gain a position that addressed our concerns. A great job, much appreciated. Warren Inglis

Good advocacy and negotiation skills.

I am so impressed by Simon Pintado who helped me to sell my property with a satisfied price in just two days even the same property had been hold in another BIG agent's hands for 6 months with only disappointments. Simon doesn't have the magic but harder and more efficient work against the right purchaser, trust me he is just the right guy if you wanna sell your property with a good price!

I've now bought / sold 5 properties and have seen various agents in action across the overpriced, highly fragmented and highly competitive "dog eat dog" Melbourne market. I also have some interstate experience. I can honestly say I was bowled over by Simon's mix of youthful old fashioned patience, tolerance and good manners. In the end, with a difficult sell, I really believe it was his market knowledge, relationships, and his "never know whats around the corner", "never say die" generally positive attitude that got me over the line. His partner James French was equally impressive. Great result, chaps. Many thanks !
