Why Melbourne

 

Our buyers’ agents simplify the buying and property investment process for you. This includes getting you the best price at Melbourne’s popular property auctions. We also deliver prestige off-market real estate opportunities, including luxury penthouses and mansions for sale in Melbourne.

In addition, you can trust our buyers’ agents to find exactly what you’re looking for in rental properties, whether you want to invest in Melbourne’s luxury real estate market or get your feet wet as an investor in industrial real estate.

 

 

Transport

Melbourne's transport system continues to be a convenient and affordable way to get around the city and its suburbs. The Myki smartcard system still allows for easy access to trams, trains, and buses, and you can now also top up your card using the Myki app on your Android phone. 

Melbourne's Night Network remains a popular choice for those who want to enjoy the city's nightlife without worrying about transportation. With 24-hour transport on weekends, catching the Night Bus from one of the six locations in the inner-city is an easy and stress-free option. 

The Free Tram Zone is still a convenient way for residents and visitors to travel around the city without spending a cent. The City Circle Tram remains a popular choice for tourists who want to see Melbourne's major attractions. 

For those who prefer driving, there are still plenty of taxis available at various locations throughout the city, and car sharing remains a popular option. 

Buses and trains continue to be a reliable way to travel both within the city and beyond. With options for regional and interstate travel, Melbourne's transport system remains an important part of the city's infrastructure. 

 

 

 

 
 

Food & Wine

Melbourne's culinary landscape is truly a feast for the senses, boasting over 70 different national cuisines across more than 3,500 restaurants. And when it comes to celebrating food and wine, Melbourne takes the cake as host of the world's largest festival, drawing in around 300,000 people annually. 

But it's not just about the festivals and restaurants - Melbourne's food scene runs deep. As Australia's unofficial coffee capital, the city is brimming with a rich cafe culture and vibrant foodie community, making cafe-hopping a quintessentially Melbourne experience. 

And let's not forget Victoria's thriving wine industry, which boasts 21 distinct regions, over 800 wineries, 600 cellar doors, and about 30 craft breweries. With enough coffee beans flowing through Melbourne to brew three million cups of coffee every day, the city truly offers a sensory adventure for every palate. 

 

 

 

Schools & Universities

Melbourne is home to some of Australia's best schools and universities, offering a wide range of educational opportunities to students of all ages and backgrounds. 

In terms of primary and secondary education, Melbourne has a mix of public and private schools, many of which are highly regarded. Some of the most well-known private schools in Melbourne include Melbourne Grammar School, Scotch College, and Xavier College, while some of the top public schools include Melbourne High School, Mac.Robertson Girls' High School, and Nossal High School. 

Melbourne is also home to several world-class universities, including the University of Melbourne, Monash University, and RMIT University. These universities offer a diverse range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses across a wide range of disciplines, including business, law, engineering, medicine, and the arts. 

In addition to these universities, Melbourne also has several other tertiary institutions, including Swinburne University of Technology, Deakin University, and La Trobe University. These institutions offer a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses as well as vocational training programs. 

Overall, Melbourne is a vibrant and diverse city with a rich educational landscape, providing students with a wide range of educational opportunities to help them achieve their goals and aspirations.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas of Melbourne do you cover?

We cover the entire metropolitan Melbourne area. We have specialist Melbourne buyers advocates that live in or near the locations that we buy in. Having a local Melbourne specialist on your side gives our clients the best possible advantage to identify the ideal property for your search.

Do you service regional VIC?

We have an established network of regional buyers agents that work in conjunction with us to assist with your search if you are particularly wanting regional Victoria. It is very important to have local representation without buyers advocate that understands the local property market.

Melbourne is experiencing significant growth in some areas over others –
how do I understand the best options?

Our Buyers Agent is supported by extensive digital data platforms including our own Suburb SelectorTM which has 35 analysis datapoints.

How is working from home affecting the Melbourne market?

Melbourne experienced significant population movements and property changes as a result of COVID and the expectation is that this will have a long tail effect. Buying in an over cooked area is a mistake and we can advise on the best locations to buy (and areas to avoid).

Melbourne is expanding geographically. How does this effect my purchasing decisions?

Geographic expansion poses opportunity and pitfalls. Our Buyers Advocate can explain how and why both can occur. Buying further from the CBD is cheaper, but it is important to check that the location has the required amenities and infrastructure to drive future capital growth.

How does the growth of Melbourne’s population due to immigration
changing the landscape of property buying?

New visitors to Melbourne will have significantly different requirements that need to be understood as opportunities will arise with varying investment returns and changes to suburb demographics. Our Buyers Advocates understand these dynamics and provide localise insights for a wide range of migrant communities.
