Buying a property in Toorak 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
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 Toorak area.
A buyers advocate can manage the entire buying process for you or, where you have found a property, negotiate on your behalf with the agent or bid at auction for you.

Toorak Suburb Profile
Toorak is another suburb of Melbourne close to the Central Business District. Situated just five kilometers south-east of the CBD, the area belongs to the City of Stonnington and has a population of 12,871 as of 2011.
The suburb of Toorak is well known for being the most elite community of Melbourne and one of the most expensive suburbs of Australia. In terms of property values, it has the highest average in the Melbourne area and is considered the highest earning suburb.
The name Toorak was derived from Toorak House, the name of James Jackson’s resident. Jackson was a merchant in the area in 1849. Six years later, the Toorak House became the residence of Captain Sir Charles Hotham who was the first Governor of Victoria. His successors also occupied the house until the Government House was completed in 1876.
Demographics
Nearly 30 percent of people in the suburb work in the finance, property and business sector. Some 31 percent of adults aged 15 and older hold a Bachelor’s degree.
Toorak also holds the record of having the highest percentage of children enrolled in non-government schools in the entire Melbourne.
Housing
Apartments, notably the walk-up flats, dominate the residential property sector in Toorak. Overall, there’s a mix of high, medium and low density housing in the area. This is attributed to the subdivision of larger lots back in the 1880s, 1920s and 1960s.
Singe-family detached homes are also in place. They are either the traditional mansions or the larger homes owned by Melbourne’s elite with swimming pools, tennis courts and high walls.
