Buying a property in Balwyn North can be a daunting and difficult process. For many of us, it is something we only do a few times in our lives.
A buyers advocate (also known as a buyers agent or property finder) can be an enormous help to make it easy to buy a home or investment property by:
- removing the stress and frustration of buying a home
- saving you time and allowing you to get your weekends back
- saving you from having to deal with the tactics of real estate agents

The suburb of Balwyn North is situated 10 kilometers east of the CBD and belongs to the City of Boroondara. With a population of 20,317, it was one of the first suburbs in Melbourne to be developed based on the pattern of postwar suburbia.
The suburb is divided into two parts – the northwest known as Bellevue and the southeast which is called Greythorn. The Greythorn area had residents since the 1830s but it was developed much later than North Balwyn. The Greythron Road of today used to be known as Whitethorn Road owing to the presence of many whitethorn hedges planted along the road. However, it was later renamed as Greythorn in 1920s to avoid people getting confused with the Whitehorse Road.
