Scott Butler
Director and Auctioneer, Stockdale & Leggo Shepparton
At the helm of Stockdale & Leggo Shepparton is Director and Auctioneer Scott Butler, whose 30-year journey in real estate began with his father, the late Noel Butler. After leaving school, Scott completed an agricultural farming apprenticeship and worked on his family’s dairy farm before joining his father in real estate — two years prior to opening the Stockdale & Leggo Numurkah office in 1995.
Since then, Scott has guided the business through three decades of market change, proudly continuing the Butler family’s legacy of service, integrity, and results. His career has been recognised with numerous industry honours, including induction into the Stockdale & Leggo Hall of Fame (2017), the CEO Award for 2024, and the 2025 Bronze Office Achievement Award.
Renowned for his professionalism and deep understanding of the property market, Scott’s advice is grounded in experience, quality information, and hard work. Integrity and client focus are non-negotiable values, reflected in the trust and repeat business he has built over the years.
Butler family legacy in real estate
Passionate about mentoring young agents, Scott takes pride in helping others grow within the industry. He values the people contact and lasting relationships that real estate fosters and leads his team with the same consistency and care that have become hallmarks of the Stockdale & Leggo Shepparton brand.
Elizabeth “Liz” Butler Sales Administration
Working alongside her husband, Liz Butler brings warmth, organisation, and people-first professionalism to Stockdale & Leggo Shepparton’s front office. Since joining the agency five years ago — after a career in the disability support field — Liz has become an integral part of the team, ensuring smooth operations and strong client connections.
Her excellence has been recognised with the 2021 Stockdale & Leggo Administrator of the Year Award and the 2025 Support Person of the Year Award, celebrating her reliability, initiative, and commitment to both clients and colleagues.
Liz enjoys the diversity and flexibility of her role, which allows her to balance family life while contributing to the success of a respected local business. She takes pride in the strong relationships built with clients, colleagues, and the wider Stockdale & Leggo network — including Group CEO Charlotte Pascoe and Co-Director Ben Thomas, whose leadership she greatly admires.
As the business marks 30 continuous years of ownership, both Liz and Scott remain deeply proud to serve the Greater Shepparton community, helping people find homes, build futures, and share in a legacy built on trust.
Darren Butler Sales/Partner
Following in his father’s footsteps, Darren Butler joined Stockdale & Leggo Shepparton in 1998, bringing local knowledge and a strong work ethic to the family business.
Starting from the ground up, he completed his Agent’s Representative Certificate and later became a certified Goods and Chattels Valuer. Today, Darren co-leads the Sales Department with his brother Scott, combining experience and skill to deliver excellent results for clients.
In 2023, Darren was awarded the Silver Sales Achievement, amongst many other sales awards with Stockdale & Leggo.
Known for his attention to detail and clear communication, Darren’s philosophy is simple — “a client for life.” He values lasting relationships built on trust, guiding clients through every stage of their property journey.
“There’s no greater compliment than when clients return or
refer others,” he says.
Working alongside his wife Fiona, who leads the property management team, and his brother Scott, Darren takes pride in contributing to a legacy defined by integrity and results.
Outside of work, Darren enjoys adventure caravanning with his wife and daughter and occasionally hitting the open road on his motorbike — a nod to his love of freedom and balance.
Fiona Butler
Head of Property Management
A valued leader within the team, Fiona Butler first discovered her passion for real estate while working in property conveyancing, gaining early insight into the industry that inspired her to complete her Agent’s Representative Certificate.
Known for her organisation, calm leadership, and client focus, Fiona has built a strong reputation in property and office management. An independent audit recently commended her department as “highly efficient, well managed and achieving one of the lowest rent arrears in the industry.”
“As simple as it sounds, good service starts with excellent organisation,” Fiona said. Her goal is always to deliver smooth, professional outcomes and ensure clients feel supported every step of the way.
Approachable and dependable, Fiona leads the Property Management team with professionalism and care, taking pride in satisfied clients and a job well done. Fiona has achieved a number of industry awards, including 20 years of service in 2025.

30 Years of Trusted Real Estate in Shepparton
A partner in property for 30 years
FOR three decades, Stockdale & Leggo Shepparton has been at the heart of the Goulburn Valley property market. Established in 1995 by Noel and Scott Butler, the family-run business has grown into one of the region’s leading real estate agencies, balancing tradition with a forward-thinking approach. Known for its strong sales record, awardwinning Property Management Department, and deep commitment to clients, Stockdale & Leggo Shepparton is a top choice for buyers, sellers, investors, and tenants across the region.
From residential homes and lifestyle properties to commercial ventures, rural land, and hobby farms, the office has built a reputation for delivering results while providing personalised service. “We’re not the gatekeepers of information anymore,” Scott reflected, noting how the industry has transformed. “People arrive well-informed. Our role now is to connect, negotiate, and highlight the features that really matter once they step onto a property.”
Under the leadership of Scott, Darren, and Fiona Butler—and supported by a dedicated
team of sales, rental, and commercial specialists—the business continues to thrive. Looking back, Scott said his proudest milestone was “turning the corner” after the early years, when the business carried significant debt. “I remember standing outside, thinking, hang on, I’ve got 15 wages and I’m a quarter of a million dollars in debt … how am I going to do this? But we worked through it, and becoming debt-free was a turning point.”
Positioned prominently in Shepparton’s CBD, on the corner of Wyndham and Knight
Streets, the office thrives on repeat and referral business, reflecting the relationships built over 30 years. For Scott, the longevity of the business comes down to more than sales results. “If you want to last in this industry, you can’t just look after your clients. You’ve got to look after yourself too—your health, your mental wellbeing, your staff’s wellbeing.”
As the office celebrates this milestone, it reflects on its history and achievements, acknowledging the people who drive its success, and looks ahead to an exciting future in the ever-evolving world of real estate.
Your three decades of dedication, integrity, and outstanding service have not only driven your business success but have also made a lasting, positive impact on our local community.
From all of us at Cleaves Garden Supplies, we commend your incredible achievement and wish you continued success in the years ahead.

Evolving with the times
AFTER 30 years in business, brothers Scott and Darren Butler have seen more than just property prices change — they’ve witnessed an entire industry transform. From the early days of door-to-door listings and paper advertisements to the digital, data-driven landscape of today, their story mirrors the evolution of real estate itself.
“When we started, there wasn’t much development north of Balaclava Road,” Scott recalled. “The Boulevard estate didn’t even exist. We used to rely on signboards, newspaper ads, and open inspections — weekends were full of activity. You’d get buyers in the car, show them around, and work hard to close the deal. It was a lot more hands-on.”
Back then, information was something only agents could provide. “Now,” Scott said, “buyers know more about the market
than ever before. They research online, check flood maps and past sales; we’re no longer the gatekeepers of information.”
That shift has reshaped how the Butlers and their team operate. “Our role today is less about handing out brochures and more about guiding people through the process, helping them make confident, informed decisions,” Scott explained.
“Once we get buyers to the property, that’s where real salesmanship begins, pointing out the features, benefits, and fit for their lifestyle.”
Darren agreed that the fundamentals remain the same, even if the tools have changed. “It’s still about people,” he said. “Relationships, trust, and communication; they’ll never go out of style.”
Resilience, growth, and a holistic approach
The path to 30 years hasn’t been without challenges. Scott remembers the early stress of managing debt, staff, and growing a business.
“There was a point where I had 15 wages to pay and was a quarter of a million dollars in debt,” he said. “People don’t see that part — the hustle, the sacrifice. But that’s what it takes to build something that lasts.”
Becoming debt-free became a defining milestone, one that marked not just financial stability, but freedom to focus on the future. Today, Scott and Darren balance their thriving real estate business with other ventures, including Gracie JiuJitsu Shepparton and several property investments, all while raising their families.
Scott credits longevity in business to taking care of both clients and oneself.
“If you don’t look after your health and mindset, you won’t last in this industry,” he said. “It’s about a holistic approach: exercise, balance, humour in the office, and checking in on your staff’s wellbeing. You’ve got to make it a fun and supportive environment.”
That philosophy has created a loyal team, with long-serving staff forming the backbone of the office. “We’ve probably hired more than a hundred people over the years,” Scott said, “but we’ve got a solid core now, people who genuinely care about what they do.”

Commercial strength, local knowledge
THE commercial sales and leasing division of Stockdale & Leggo Shepparton is built on experience, professionalism, and a strong connection to the local business community.
Led by Licensed Estate Agent and Auctioneer Vincent Tassoni, alongside Commercial Property Manager Jessica Tassoni and Personal Assistant Courtney Osman, the team has become a trusted partner for business owners and investors across the Goulburn Valley.
With more than 14 years at Stockdale & Leggo, Vince has seen the region evolve—and helped many local enterprises grow with it.
Before real estate, he managed his family’s fruit growing business and operated a local nightclub, giving him deep insight into the needs of local business owners.
“We’re humble,” Vince said. “We’re not out there shouting that we’re the biggest or the best—we just do our job to the best of our ability.”
Over his career, Vince has earned numerous
corporate awards but says client feedback remains his greatest reward. “When a vendor or purchaser takes the time to write a glowing review, that’s the best compliment of all.”
Working closely with Vince is Jessica Tassoni, who has been part of the Shepparton team for a decade after beginning her career at NAB. Her dedication and expertise have been recognised with the Ian Stockdale Hall of Fame Award (2025) and Property Management Excellence Award (2022). Jessica manages a diverse commercial portfolio, balancing professionalism with care.
“The combination of local knowledge and strong community connections gives clients confidence they’re in safe hands,” she said.
Supporting both is Courtney Osman, who has worked alongside Vince for seven years. Her background in social media and client communication helps strengthen the team’s reach and relationships. Winner of a Social Media Achievement Award, Courtney said she feels proud every time Vince is recognised for
his work.
“It means I’m doing my job well, supporting him behind the scenes,” said Courtney.
The trio represent the commercial arm at Stockdale & Leggo Shepparton’s, combining business acumen with genuine, long-term relationships.
As the agency celebrates 30 years of service, Vince reflected on the milestone. “In my career, I’ve seen a number of agencies and agents come and go. To be celebrating 30 years and still going strong is a real testament
to the hard work and dedication that Scott, his late father Noel, and the entire Butler family have put into the business.”

Stockdale & Leggo’s story in Shepparton
Late 1960s–70s:
Foundations in Real Estate
LONG before Stockdale & Leggo Shepparton opened its doors, Noel Butler had already established himself as a trusted figure in the real estate industry. Starting out in the late 1960s in business broking, he later moved into rural and residential real estate about 1975, working for Rice & Herbert and later for Alex Scott & Co, and PBE (Palmer Baker & Evans) Real Estate in Gippsland.
Returning to the Goulburn Valley, Noel became branch manager of PBE Real Estate in Numurkah, holding the nowdefunct branch manager licence that allowed him to run an office under the principal licensee.
1993–1995:
Father and Son Take Flight
By 1993, Noel’s son Scott Butler had completed his full real estate licence. The pair agreed to go into business together, and in July 1995, they opened a Stockdale & Leggo franchise in Numurkah. Coming from a small independent firm into a large national network was a revelation.
“It went from sitting around a campfire to sitting around a kitchen,” Scott recalled. Suddenly there were pre-listing kits, structured buyer follow-ups, and shared training resources. This professional framework reshaped how they worked and positioned the Butlers at the forefront of regional real estate.
1998–2006: Turning the Corner
In February 1998, the business relocated to Shepparton at 120 Wyndham Street. Situated on the corner of Nixon and Wyndham Streets, in the 1960s it was home to Smith Motors and Scott said there were still remnants of the timber on the ceiling.
Scott described this move to Shepparton as literally “turning the corner.” It was a bold expansion that brought greater visibility, as well as significant financial risks, but cemented their presence in the region.
At the time, Shepparton’s average house price sat just above $100,000, and the average home loan interest rate was 6.7 per cent.
Darren Butler joined the business around 1998, beginning in property maintenance, where he forged strong relationships with landlords and tenants. By around 2006, he moved into sales, joining Scott and his wife Elizabeth on the frontline of residential and lifestyle property transactions.
The early 2000s were years of steady growth, with Shepparton’s market maturing ahead of the mid-decade boom.
2010–2019: Expansion and Recognition
The Shepparton office earned multiple industry awards during this period, and continues to do so, reflecting its growing reputation for professionalism and trust. Licensed Estate Agent and Auctioneer Vincent Tassoni joined the business around 2011, further strengthening the agency’s expertise.
The business also began developing specialist strengths across property management, lifestyle, and rural sales, ensuring the team didn’t “spread themselves too thin.”
In 2015, Scott and Elizabeth opened Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Kialla, a testament to
their commitment to community and current personal wellbeing. Today, the martial arts school is located on the second storey of their office space and has around 170 students. As regional migration accelerated, Shepparton’s property prices climbed, reaching $260,000 median sales price by 2017, while new subdivisions reshaped the local landscape, signalling change in the region’s housing market.
After 20 years at 120 Wyndham Street, the business purchased this site, moving their office to 91 Wyndham Street in 2019. The prominent corner location and modern office space reflected the growth of the business and its forward focus, while bringing both businesses under one roof.

30 Years of Trusted Real Estate in Shepparton
2020–2023: Adapting to Change
The COVID-19 pandemic transformed real estate, with Shepparton among the regional centres experiencing record demand. House prices rose beyond $400,000, while rental yields fluctuated amid demand.
With more than 200 legislative changes under the Residential Tenancies Act, the agency invested heavily in staff training, process streamlining, and technology, ensuring clients’ confidence in compliance and professionalism.
Scott and Darren also noted that buyer behaviour has continued to change, with a shift towards mediumdensity living, low-maintenance properties, and the influence of migration to Shepparton. These trends and ongoing regulatory changes continue to be important factors for the business.
2025: Legacy and Leadership
In March, founder Noel Butler passed away aged 80. His vision and mentorship continue to inspire the team every day.
Today, Stockdale & Leggo Shepparton is led by Scott and Darren Butler, supported by a dedicated team including Elizabeth Butler, Vince and Jessica Tassoni, and Courtney Osman in sales and commercial; a strong rental department led by Fiona Butler, Mia Beks, Pheobe Gale, and Glenys Overwater. Admin support includes Latayah Velos, Piyamas (Holly) White, and Jardelle Clark.
Across three decades, the business has employed more than 100 people and now serves clients spanning three generations – a true testament to its reputation, trust and local roots.
Under the national leadership of CEO Charlotte Pascoe and co-director Ben Thomas, the Stockdale & Leggo Group continues to evolve.
Locally, the Shepparton office remains committed to protecting clients, staff and community through innovation, integrity, and up-to-date compliance, staying ahead in an ever-changing industry.

She said she believes the support from management and camaraderie amongst the rest of the team is a point of difference for Stockdale & Leggo Shepparton.
“Our staff are very bubbly and always greet people nicely. Plus, we always have each other’s back, especially the girls who always offer a hand, which I really appreciate,” Mia said. “I could not imagine some of the people I have met in the office not being in my life now.”
Winning Stockdale & Leggo Property Manager of the Year 2023 award has been a major achievement for Mia, along with assisting the Shepparton team to win The Whole House award for property the same year.
“I am extremely proud to call Stockdale & Leggo, and the Butlers, my family,” said Mia. “I really value the strong relationships I’ve made with staff, management, and with
clients. No two days are the same, and management especially are so supportive and always have our backs when things get difficult.”

Pheobe has been part of the Stockdale & Leggo Shepparton team for three years, bringing warmth, organisation, and professionalism to every client interaction.
After beginning her career at Fernwood Women’s Gym, Pheobe transitioned into real estate and quickly found her stride, completing her Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice (Victoria). She takes pride in building strong relationships with clients, trades, and renters, and is valued for her approachable nature and attention to detail.
“I enjoy helping people find their new home and working with such a supportive team,” Phoebe said. “The knowledge within our office and the relationships we’ve built in the community really set Stockdale & Leggo apart.”
Pheone said the Butlers’ 30-year milestone reflects the team’s dedication and integrity. “It shows how much hard work and
commitment has gone into building a business that genuinely cares about people,” she said.

Looking ahead
DESPITE three decades of success and ongoing growth, Stockdale & Leggo Shepparton has no plans of slowing down.
“We’re not in the mindset of retirement,” Scott said. “We’re focused on looking after our clients and living a good life. If you stop
moving forward, you stop growing.”
For the Butlers, the future is about balance, growing the business, mentoring the next generation, and making time for family.
“These days, the most important thing to me is spending time with my wife and kids,”
Scott said. “You learn to appreciate the simple moments — even if it’s just playing a VR game with my daughter after work.”
As the business celebrates its 30-year milestone, Scott and Darren remain proud of how far they’ve come and remain grounded
in what got them here: hard work, humility, and heart.
“Real estate is about people,” Darren said. “That’s always been our key to success, treating every client, every staff member, just like family.”
