The Announcement:
Buxton Real Estate has announced the opening of its newest office in Elwood, strengthening its presence along Melbourne’s prestigious bayside corridor.
The new office, led by directors Zoe Cherrie and Dave Seeber, fills a strategic gap in Buxton’s existing network which includes strongholds in Port Phillip, Port Melbourne, St Kilda, Brighton, Hampton, and Sandringham.
Mr Seeber, who has been with Buxton for over a decade and became Director of Buxton St Kilda & Albert Park in 2016, brings extensive experience in the bayside market.
“Elwood has long been an integral part of the bayside real estate market, and we felt the time was right to establish a dedicated presence here,” Mr Seeber said.
“Last year, we saw a record-breaking sale at 9 Bendigo Avenue for $17.05 million, the highest result in Port Phillip for the year. This underscores the strong demand for exceptional properties in Elwood.”
Ms Cherrie, who has been named Buxton’s agent of the year for the past three years, brings a results-driven approach and deep local knowledge to the new office.
“Elwood has an undeniable charm, from its village atmosphere to its vibrant community,” Ms Cherrie said.
“We saw a real need for a fresh, dynamic real estate offering in the area, and we’re here to be the first choice that buyers and sellers deserve.”
The expansion comes as Elwood experiences increased interest from downsizers seeking high-quality apartments and prestige buyers looking for premium bayside residences.
The office will focus exclusively on residential sales, offering tailored insights to help clients maximise their property potential.
“Our goal is clear—secure and retain the strongest market share in Elwood,” Ms Cherrie said.
Buxton Real Estate CEO Marcus Williams expressed enthusiasm about the strategic expansion.
“We’re thrilled to see Buxton’s continued expansion across Victoria, with Elwood being a natural next step in our growth strategy,” Mr Williams said.
“The strength of the bayside market, combined with the expertise of Zoe Cherrie and Dave Seeber, makes this an exciting new chapter for our network.”
