What Agents & Vendors Say
Real feedback from the agents and vendors we work with, campaign after campaign.
"As the owner of a real estate business, it's very important for me that we align ourselves with others within the industry that are highly skilled. Leon of Axford Auctions always has total control of the crowd, a deep understanding of legislation and a great ability to keep an auction flowing and to engage with bidders to ensure that he extracts the maximum amount of money available on any day. I highly recommend using Leon and his team!"
Ben Jobberns
Real Estate Business Owner
"Leon from Axford Auctions is an outstanding auctioneer. He is highly professional, focused and composed, providing clear guidance throughout the entire auction process. From an agent's perspective, Leon is excellent to work with. His communication and fast rapport building with our vendors is fantastic, along with his ability to engage buyers throughout an auction is exceptional."
Russell Sheffield
Real Estate Agent
"Leon was absolutely fantastic as auctioneer at the Trish MS Research Foundation's fundraising ball at the Sydney Hilton. His energy, professionalism, humour and incredible ability to engage the room helped create an unforgettable auction and, most importantly, raise an incredible amount of money for MS research. We couldn't have asked for a better auctioneer."

"Wow! What a gem Leon is. He was so warm, engaging, funny, articulate and a massive hit in the room. He did such a phenomenal job. Thank you Leon."

"Leon has an exceptional talent for working a challenging auction. His ability to maintain momentum and engage every bidder, even when the market is tough, consistently delivers results above expectations. He recently turned what could have been a difficult auction into a remarkable success, achieving a result through skilled negotiation and perfect timing."
Matt Carpenter
Starr Partners Real Estate
"Reading people is where Leon excels. His intuitive ability to sense hesitation or enthusiasm from buyers and adjust his rhythm accordingly is remarkable. At our recent Westleigh auction, I watched him slow down for a cautious bidder, then energise the room when confidence grew. That's why my clients achieve premium results regardless of market conditions."
Dion Verzeletti
Ray White Upper North Shore
"Leon has this incredible gift for understanding people that translates perfectly to the auction floor. During a recent auction in Warrawee, he intuitively knew exactly when to pause for effect and when to accelerate the pace. That's Leon's secret weapon — he doesn't just run auctions, he orchestrates them."
Carl Ferris
The Marshall Group
"Leon is the safest pair of hands in the business. His energy fills the room from the first call, but it's his ability to read the play that sets him apart. At our last auction in Toongabbie, three serious bidders created a complex dynamic, but Leon managed each interaction flawlessly."
Alex Georgiou
Ray White United Group Toongabbie
"I would give Axford Auctions 20 out of 10. Informative, supportive, professional and Leon is exceptional at his craft."
Paul Dukes
Dukes Estate Agents
"Having known and worked with Leon for a number of years now, he has always offered sound advice and proven helpful with his auction strategy and skill set. It makes a world of difference knowing your auctioneer is truly present from beginning to end of the campaign, building a solid relationship with everyone involved."
Mary Khalil
Westons Property & Co
"Leon has been able to master the art of an auction by maintaining the flow and communication throughout the moments which could be paused and awkward. He creates excitement throughout the auction and enables our agents to continue working hard to encourage buyer urgency whilst maintaining momentum."
Daniel Starr
Starr Partners Merrylands Group
"Leon Axford is an auctioneer extraordinaire. 13 years ago, Leon conducted his first auction with me, and the call was faultless, leading to a new suburb record. He has never missed a beat since — a real asset to have in your corner come auction day."
Nathan Leuzzi
Ray White Upper North Shore
"Leon is the complete professional — personable, calm and incredibly skilled at keeping buyers engaged, yet at ease, throughout the auction. I have the utmost confidence that Leon will always represent my vendors and our company with professionalism, skill and effectiveness. He is a gentleman and a class act indeed."
Nich Bardon
Ray White United Group Toongabbie
"Leon was recommended by our agent Eddie Yiu, he told us that Leon was the best, and we would not be disappointed. Not disappointed is an understatement — we are thrilled with our auction result.
With a great campaign and a lot of interest, we expected a good turnout on auction day, and that is what we achieved. All would have been for nought if Leon had not been on top of the market and the crowd. Before the auction we had a brief conversation where he asked what we hoped to achieve. We gave Leon our bottom line and an optimistic expectation.
When the auction started, Leon quickly worked from a first very low bid into the territory where most of the crowd expected a sale. He then encouraged the remaining bidders into the territory where we would have been very happy with the result. He then paused to allow two late entries into the sale and four bids later he achieved a street record.
We could not be happier with the result, or the professional way in which Leon analysed the bidders and worked to gain the result. We highly recommend him!"
