Buying a property in St Kilda East can be a daunting and difficult process. For many of us, buying property 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 when buying 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
Questions such as “where can I find a home I can afford”, “am I paying too much?”, “where can I find someone to bid for me at auction” are easily answered with the assistance of a buyer’s agent specialising in the St Kilda East area.
A buyers advocate can manage the entire buying process for you, or when you have found a property, they can negotiate on your behalf with the agent or bid at auction for you.
WE MAKE IT EASY to get your weekends back and find the perfect home or investment property in St Kilda East for a LOW FLAT FIXED FEE. We guide you through the entire process, from selecting a home, market appraisal, negotiating/bidding to the final inspection, and help you purchase with confidence.

St Kilda East is a seaside suburb of Melbourne located approximately 6kms south east of the Melbourne CBD in the cities of Port Phillip and Glen Eira.
St Kilda East is a densely populated residential area with a more arty and multicultural vibe than its namesake neighbour famous as one of Melbourne’s most popular city beaches. St Kilda East has experienced significant gentrification in the past decade, contributed to by strong property development, proximity to the city and the beach, and its comprehensive public transport system.
Established in the mid 19th century, housing in St Kilda East began predominantly with terraced railway houses, while blocks of flats were the common style of housing during the mid 20th century. Today the suburb features medium density apartment buildings with plans to develop Carlisle Street into an activity centre in 2030.
As does St Kilda, St Kilda East is serviced by multiple public transport options. Trams operate along Carlisle Street and Balaclava Road, Chapel Street, Dandenong Road and St Kilda Road. Buses operate on Orrong Road and Hotham Street, while the Balaclava and Ripponlea railway stations also service St Kilda via the Sandringham line.
