I have had the pleasure of working with the team from Buxton in Church Street, Brighton, several times in the last six years, both as a buyer and as a vendor. In particular, I have worked closely with Tom Davidson and, I can honestly say, without exaggeration, that he is the best in the business. In late 2017, I had to begin the process of selling several properties as part of winding up my parents’ estate. The first property (the rental) sold at auction for more than 30% above the reserve. The second property, our family home, was auctioned 6 weeks later. In the lead-up, Tom was very frank about the challenges being faced: less interest, the difficulties associated with the tree, the unsuitability of the house as a rental, coupled with a general downturn in the market in Bayside. This allowed us plenty of time to consider our options and reset our expectations. On the day of the auction, anticipating the possibility of the property being passed in, Tom arrived with a large team of agents, ready to conduct negotiations post-auction if required. In the event, this is exactly what happened. The property was passed in without a bid, so the team got very busy chasing offers, with Tom negotiating with us and willingly and openly discussing the pros and cons of the various offers coming in. In the end, a great result in difficult circumstances: an unconditional offer at our reserve price with a short-term settlement. Tom and the rest of the team at Buxton did an outstanding job of working to sell these properties, overcoming a variety of obstacles, as well as dealing sensitively with the situation as a whole. I can honestly say it was been a great experience working with Tom over the years, and I look forward with genuine pleasure to our next project together.

I first met Tom Davidson when I was bidding at an auction in 2012. While I was unsuccessful at that auction, I met him again at an open house that same afternoon, and bought the house two days later. Tom was terrific throughout the process, quick to get details for me, organising contracts, etc, without ever being pushy. Just enthusiastic and supportive. When it came to selling my parents' rental property at 12 Montclair Ave, I did not hesitate to use Tom. Suffice to say, he was perfect. Helpful, informative and understanding, he constantly referred to us (my siblings and I) for all decisions, whilst guiding us where we needed it. He remained very sensitive to the emotions associated with selling a house that had belonged to our parents, but was also resolute in ensuring we got the best possible deal. I would confidently recommend him to anyone looking to sell.

My wife and I recently purchased our home through Tom and found him so easy and professional to deal with. He met each of our enquiries promptly and was so courteous and helpful with our additional requests. We could not recommend Tom highly enough to prospective clients.

From the beginning, Tom's professionalism stood out. He was extremely knowledgeable of the market. He was confident in achieving a great result and worked diligently. Tom was open, honest, and his level of communication was commendable. He kept us informed of any progress and worked effortlessly in following up any leads. In what was a difficult and challenging sale, Tom achieved an excellent result. We would like to thank Tom and his team for all their hard work and would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone. Fantastic Job Tom! All the best for the future. M&M Northey

Tom and his colleague, Bert, assisted my firm on the sale of a deceased estate property that I was the executor for. It was a highly unusual sales campaign as a number of factors outside of anyone’s control made the sales process quite challenging but Tom always stayed positive throughout it all. He was always very calm and patient and handled every issue that came up very professionally, which we are very appreciative of. He was also very approachable and went above and beyond whenever we needed extra assistance. Tom is also honest in assessing the potential sales price that the property was likely to get so he managed our expectations well and there were no surprises on auction day. My firm and I highly recommend him. Seeing how professionally he handled our sale, given the challenging circumstances we faced throughout the process, you would be very well looked after by Tom. Thanks Tom and Bert for all your help!

Tom assisted my wife and I in purchasing our new home. His willingness to answer questions thoroughly, and thoughtfully was greatly appreciated. During the auction, he supported us through the bidding process and negotiations. Our nerves were quickly settled as a result of his care. Having Tom on side made the process of buying a house such a dream. He and Paul must be part of the new wave of agents, genuinely striving to create win/win, seamless and transparent buying and selling experiences! Thanks so much!

I have used Tom previously to look after my clients property sales. He always works hard and does exactly what's required of him. I would highly recommend him if you are looking to sell your property.

Tom made a potentially stressful time a smooth, positive and profitable experience. When he came to me with his approach to selling my property, it was plain that he had put a lot of the 'hard yards' and skill into researching the specific market, potential clientele and the property itself. To potential buyers he presents as a sincere and charming young man. To the vendor he is a calm, knowledgeable and positive salesman who knows his stuff. The results he achieved for me were excellent. The process was was virtually stress-free for me. I am usually very reluctant to recommend anyone or any company unreservedly. I have no reluctance in doing so in the case of Tom.

Tom in conjunction with Bert Stewart offered a fantastic service as my agents in the sale of my property on the Esplanade. Working in the property industry myself I have high expectations and as usual they did not disappoint. I could not recommend them highly enough to any prospective seller. Great work once again Tom and Bert.

I had the pleasure of working with Tom Davidson in 2017 to sell our family home in Brighton. Tom and his team at Buxton achieved an outstanding sales result prior to auction that was easily 15% above my expectations and 20% above the independent market valuation. Tom is an incredible individual and great communicator and managed all aspects of the sales process like a truly seasoned pro. I would recommend Tom to anyone considering selling their property in the Bayside area and would have to rate Tom one of the best sales executives I have ever worked with. Well done Tom and my sincere thanks. Darren Harding

Appointing both Tom and John Clarkson from Buxton Brighton to sell my property resulted in a sale price that far exceeded my expectations. I couldn't be more pleased with their service.

Tom is a polite professional and delightful young man who is genuine and courteous. A pleasure to do business within easy happy conditions .
