Buying a property in Sandringham 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 Sandringham 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.

Sandringham Suburb Profile
The suburb of Sandringham is a beachside area situated 16 kilometers southeast of Melbourne’s CBD. It is part of the City of Bayside with a population of 9,309 as of 2011.
Originally known as Gypsy Village, it was part of the early estates in Moorabbin owned by Josiah Holloway back in 1852. Despite the small settlement taking place at that time, lots were sold in the area between 1852 and 1854.
The name Sandringham was used in 1887 for the town’s post office. The first Bluff post office was opened in 1868 but was closed in 1871. After two years, it was reopened again.
