Melbourne to the Gold Coast

"​I’ll never forget the first lesson that was passed onto me by my father - our first priority as agents is always our clients, they are what make our business - Karl Gillon
I am proud to be the fifth generation in real estate, stemming from my Great Great Grandfather John Robert Buxton who established Buxton Real Estate in South Melbourne in 1861.

I knew from an early age that I wanted to begin my career building on the legacy of my family’s business and worked hard to become the youngest ever director of Buxton Real Estate and establish their first franchise office in Albert Park.

​I met my wife Vanessa and our family of two grew to four as we welcomed our wonderful and intelligent girls Montana and Nevada.

​When the opportunity arose to move to the beautiful Gold Coast to live and work, I left the Buxton Group to grow in trusted hands and seized the moment to realise our dreams and move back to where Vanessa was born and bred.  
That's my story. Now I'd love to hear yours

Nothing beats experience when it comes to an expert negotiator on the Gold Coast

When the market changes from a Sellers Market to a Buyers Market it is important to have an Agent that has been selling real estate through every cycle. This ensures that the highest possible sale price is achieved.

I have been featured in

It's not my first trip around the block

#1 Agent as featured on the The Block 

In 2012, after selling a development site in Dorcas St, South Melbourne to producers of Channel 9’s Logie-winning reality television series The Block, I was invited by fifth season contestants Brad and Lara to represent their renovated apartment as their agent and auctioneer.
The result was a show-winning record-breaking achievement, exceeding the reserve price by $500,000. In 2014, I was invited back to the series by Brad and Dale and broke my initial record on The Block when I achieved $507,250 above the reserve price.
