Local knowledge

What matters when you buy in Melbourne

Melbourne calls them buyer's advocates rather than buyer's agents, and the distinction is worth knowing when you search: the same job, a different local word. The city's inner ring, the eastern and bayside corridors and the outer growth areas behave as separate markets, and advocates tend to specialise tightly.

  • Read the Section 32

    Victorian vendors must give you a Section 32 statement before you sign, covering title, outgoings, planning controls and anything the seller is obliged to disclose.

  • Apartments need a closer read

    Reading one properly is a real part of the job, particularly on apartments and anything with an owners corporation.

  • Auctions every weekend

    Auctions dominate the inner and middle rings, so an advocate who bids for you every weekend is worth more than one who mostly negotiates private sales.

Common questions about Melbourne buyer's advocates

Answers drawn from the directory. For what agents charge, read our fees guide.

How many buyer's advocates work in Melbourne?

PropertyGo lists 44 buyer's advocates based in Melbourne, plus 19 more that service VIC from elsewhere in the state. Every listing is a real agency profile with its own review history.

Which Melbourne buyer's advocate is rated highest?

How are Melbourne buyer's advocates ordered on this page?

Agencies based in the city are listed before those servicing it from elsewhere. Within each group, subscribing agencies carry a Featured label and are shown first; everyone else is ordered by their Google rating and then by how many reviews that rating is based on. A subscription buys that position in this directory. It buys nothing in GoMatch: the shortlist a buyer is matched with is ordered on review standing alone.

Is a buyer's advocate in Melbourne licensed?

Yes. Acting for a buyer for a fee is licensed real estate work in Victoria, so any buyer's advocate you engage must hold a current licence. You can check a licence with your state regulator before you sign anything.

What does a buyer's advocate cost?

Australian buyer's agents typically charge either a percentage of the purchase price or a fixed fee, and many offer cheaper auction-bidding or negotiation-only services. Fees vary widely by agency and service level, so compare quotes and read our fees guide before committing.
