Tim Picken & Chris Guest
Tim Picken
Tim’s comfortable interaction with people has stood the test of time and he is considered a leader in the real estate industry. He’s known success as a real estate agent since he was 20 years old, coveted with awards during his tenure as Partner at both Kay and Burton, and Jellis Craig.
Clients often turn into friends and while Tim is clear eyed about the ups and downs of the business, he believes he’s chosen a career that can genuinely help people. Therefore it was a natural fit for Tim to transition into the advisory side of the industry where he now represents buyers on the acquisition and advises sellers through the marketing and readying of homes for sale in conjunction with the best selling agents in the local Boroondara and Stonnington areas.
Tim prides himself on being a great Dad to his 11yr old twins, Benny and Lulu, and plays an active part with them in the community through schooling, sport and recreation, and is a corporate sponsor of the Glen Iris Gladiators JFC. Golf also occupies a place of considerable importance in his life, being a member at Kingston Heath Golf Club.
Tim Picken’s reputation as one of Melbourne’s finest property advisors is continuously reinforced by outstanding results.
Chris Guest
Chris is a licensed real estate agent who spent close to a decade selling family homes in Stonnington and Boroondara with Marshall White and RT Edgar.
As a Buyers and Vendor Advocate, Chris has a thorough understanding of both sides of the transaction and is able to draw upon his strong business skills from his time in corporate sponsorship and sports management.
Having grown up in Stonnington all his life, Chris’ long-standing passion and energetic approach to real estate means he has built a strong reputation with colleagues and clients and has developed a good understanding of his clients’ needs when buying a family home.
Chris is well qualified and knows what to look for in a family home, having two teenage children of his own, Sophie and Harry. In his spare time Chris enjoys playing golf at Royal Melbourne, being actively involved in his kids sports, on junior sports committees as well as spending time with family and friends.

We were extremely happy with the service we received from BuyerX. Our buyers advocate, Chris Guest, was exceptionally professional and knowledgeable. He saved us a great deal of time and effort by handling the bulk of the research, and his extensive experience in the property market was clearly reflected in the high quality of his insights and recommendations. Chris’s polite nature and consistent communication made the entire process smooth and stress-free along with the value of a good coffee after each inspection! Thank you once again, Chris, for all the hard work you put into helping our son secure his first property.

I had the pleasure of working with Chris as my buyer's advocate, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Chris was professional, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the property market and local area. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, was always available to talk, and kept me well-informed throughout the entire process. His responsiveness and clear communication made everything smooth and stress-free. Most importantly, Chris successfully negotiated the purchase price on my new apartment, saving me both time and money. I’m truly grateful for his support and expertise. Thank you, Chris, for all your hard work. I would highly recommend your services to anyone looking to purchase property with confidence.

As an interstate vendor it was important to have eyes and feet on the ground in Melbourne to help with the selling process. Chris was extremely helpful and professional in managing every step of the process from selection of agent and conveyancer, styling, and communication during the sales campaign. He went above and beyond in helping with annoying but important issues such as power connection, cleanliness for the open for inspection and key management. Highly recommend.

I recently purchased a beach house with the help of a buyer’s advocate, Chris Guest, and the entire experience was incredibly pleasant and hassle-free. From the very beginning, Chris took the time to really understand my needs and preferences, and it was clear he was committed to finding exactly what I was looking for. This really helped my gain confidence and trust in the process, as my needs were put first. His expertise and deep knowledge of the market were evident throughout the process. He knew what was available, what was reasonable, and he guided me with confidence and clarity every step of the way. Chris went above and beyond—fighting to secure the perfect property for me—and thanks to his efforts, I ended up with an amazing place that I absolutely love. I really appreciated Chris’ honestly and rejection of some properties as he knew they did not fit the brief we discussed. This showed me that Chris was really on my side and was meeting my needs. What could have been a stressful and overwhelming process was instead smooth, efficient, and even enjoyable. I’m incredibly grateful for Chris’ support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy property.
