Who We’re Best Suited To

Buying property can feel overwhelming, especially in a competitive market. Not every buyer needs the same level of support and that’s okay.
Are serious about purchasing and ready to move forward in the near term (generally within the next couple of months)
Want to understand what a property is really worth before making a decision
Value clear advice and a structured, considered approach
Don’t have the time to monitor the market closely, often busy professionals or families
Are looking to buy well in Melbourne’s inner suburbs, rather than chase unrealistic bargains
May be relocating or buying from interstate and need local knowledge and trusted guidance
Looking for below-market “bargain” opportunities in tightly held areas
Still early in the process without a clear budget or finance in place
Looking to buy in areas where your current budget may not align with typical property values
Making decisions based purely on price rather than long-term suitability
Don't see the value in using a Buyer's Advocate and/or are not prepared to pay for our high level of expertise and experience
If this sounds like the way you want to approach your purchase, we’d love to hear about your plans.
See how we have helped people just like you...

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had been trying to purchase a property for over a year, but as a busy single mum, I was finding the whole process overwhelming & impossible.
I decided to outsource the buying process & was relieved that I chose Ethical Choice. Melinda & Alicia were so supportive & really held my hand the whole way through. Within two months we found the perfect little place at a great price and I couldn't be happier. Thanks again Melinda & Alicia!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Worked with Melinda and Alicia from Ethical Choice to purchase a property in Melbourne. Being based overseas, their service was incredibly efficient and great value for money considering they were able to handle all of the leg-work on my behalf. I was able to purchase a lovely off-market property which is perfect for my needs. Would highly recommend, especially to busy professionals or buyers from interstate or overseas.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn't recommend Melinda and Alicia more highly. As first time home buyers, we were feeling daunted and overwhelmed searching on our own, but Melinda and Alicia put us at ease straight away. With their expert knowledge and genuine care, we felt supported throughout the whole process. They were proactive, patient and always made themselves available to answer any questions we had. They also negotiated for us in a some unusual buying circumstances and made the whole process so much easier and less stressful! They are truly passionate about what they do, and go above and beyond for their clients. Thank you Melinda and Alicia, we are so appreciative of all your help and love our new place!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Melinda, Damian, Georgie and Simone did an exceptional job at helping us find our new home in Melbourne. Without them we would have been completely overwhelmed, but they continued to keep us calm and on the right path and in the end Damian even helped us secure our home before it went to auction. We felt like they all had our best interests at heart and endeavored to ensure we made a good decision. Using Ethical Home Buyers was definitely one of the best decisions we have ever made. And there is the added bonus of knowing that some of our fee is going towards charity. I can only recommend them to anyone looking to buy a property who values expert advice and excellent customer service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Me and my Fiancé have just finished working with Melinda and Alicia on purchasing our first home and it was an amazing experience. They helped us through every step of the process and introduced us to every contact we would need for a smooth and enjoyable purchase. I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone who wants to actually enjoy the process of buying a home as all I’d heard before meeting them was that it was a hard and stressful process. They made it an exciting and stress free journey.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We really enjoyed the experience of buying our first home, all thanks to Melinda and Alicia. The EOI process we ultimately purchased through was so much less stressful than I thought it would be, because Melinda and Alicia gave us confidence in both the bidding strategy and choice of property.
There were several properties that we loved but didn't purchase based on their assessment and I'm so glad we waited - they were right!
Absolutely worth every penny, plus we secured our new home for an amazing price. Thanks again, Melinda and Alicia!

They've been super proactive, responsive and clear, and made the process as smooth as possible. They really know their stuff, and ended up finding us a real knockout that ticked all our boxes. We're so excited! We can't thank them enough and we're so grateful for all of their help and patience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so very thankful for Melinda and the team's assistance with finding me my new home. Their advice was excellent - they listened and understood what was important to me and guided me to get the absolute best outcome. I was so impressed with the depth of knowledge of the market that they have, it really was outstanding.  And their responsiveness was top notch and is what gave me the advantage in being able to act swiftly. Additional, the kindness and empathy Melinda gave to me when we came across an unexpected temporary hurdle showed how the company truly is ethical by name and ethical by nature. I will be forever grateful for their help, I am so very happy in my new place.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were recommended Ethical Choice Buyer Agents from our trusted financial advisor to assist with purchasing an investment property. After an initial meeting with Melinda and Damian we decided to proceed with their services and couldn't recommend them enough. From their advice, property search and overall expertise it made the process easy. They provided options to meet our criteria resulting in the purchase of a property but more importantly devised the strategy to purchase. Certainly, worth the investment which created savings in other ways. If you are contemplating utilising a buyers advocate, I highly recommend them.

Everything was really well managed and we felt supported during a really highly emotional time. We found communication to be spot on and we knew exactly where things were at each stage. Thanks guys x

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Melinda came highly recommended and still somehow managed to exceed all our expectations. She was incredibly warm and genuine and put us immediately at ease as first home buyers. She also has an expert and authoritative knowledge of the Melbourne property landscape. Even the vendor's agent was impressed at her negotiation prowess that resulted in her securing a property for us that we really didn't think would be possible. We are immensely grateful to Melinda and Damian for their hard work and commitment to supporting people in the stressful and emotional experience that is buying a home.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with Melinda and her team to purchase a property and secured an excellent result within four weeks of starting. They removed the hard work from the process by narrowing the search and ensuring we didn’t waste time looking in the wrong locations. Communication was clear and efficient, and they handled each step with confidence and professionalism.  We would engage them again without hesitation.  I highly recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In buying our first home, we couldn't have asked for a better buyer's advocate. Melinda provided clear, expert guidance throughout our off-market purchase and helped us avoid mistakes we simply wouldn't have known to look for. Melinda's availability and prompt communication made the entire process far less daunting, and we always felt supported and informed. Most importantly, her genuine care and professionalism gave us real confidence and peace of mind throughout the journey. We highly recommend Melinda and her team, especially to anyone buying a first home.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Melinda and Alicia more! What started as a casual intro call, ended 7 days later with the purchase of our dream home! There is absolutely no way we could have managed that in such a short turnaround time without their help.
The highlights were their incredible communication, industry recommendations, their rapport with local realstate agents and experience in knowing exactly what do to/when/how and why. They really took care of everything and I have been shoving their name into every conversation I have had about our new home to anyone who will listen!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Melinda highly enough. I am a first home buyer without a clue and she helped me through the whole process with an unbelievable amount knowledge but also kindness and warmth, I really knew she had my back. She gave me excellent advice, saved me from making many questionable decisions and in the end landed me the perfect apartment. It’s so clear she goes above and beyond for her clients. I think everyone should factor a buyer’s advocate into their home buying budget, it’s more than worthwhile. Thanks so much Melinda ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so glad we asked for Melinda and Alicia’s support to find a new home. We were on a tight timeline and a bit overwhelmed by the competitiveness of the market. They helped us navigate finding and assessing potential properties, doing due diligence, preparing for auction including the highest price we were prepared to pay, and of course representing us at some past-paced, intimidating auctions. And we genuinely enjoyed getting to know them and their approach and ethics along the way. Big thanks for their support, expertise and commitment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After this superb experience using a buyer's agent, you'd be mad not to use one. And equally so, not to use these guys. Melinda, Damian and Simone are a fantastic team.  Each bring their own attributes to the process. Their work was professional and thorough. Importantly they understand the emotions involved with buying a property that's going to be home. Fully engaged and very communicative, they are standouts and highly recommended.

We bought while living overseas and she made the whole process feel clear and manageable. She really knows her stuff and guided us confidently from the first inspection right through to auction day, where she absolutely nailed it and secured the property for us against strong competition.

She was also genuinely lovely to deal with and kept us updated at every stage. We couldn’t recommend her more!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After many months of lost Saturdays we decided to try a buyers advocate. We felt this pricing structure seemed much fairer than competitors. Melinda seemed genuinely happy to get the lowest price for us. I don't think we would have won that auction if we were bidding ourselves. Having someone guide us through the next steps has been invaluable too. Thank you so much Melinda, we are over the moon. Wish Victoria would make some meaningfull housing reform tho!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ethical Choice Buyer Agents were wonderful to deal with. They helped us find a house at a good price in a very challenging market. They navigated a long and complex negotiation process and guided us every step of the way - conducting inspections, organising building and pest, contract reviews, and all communication between the agent and lawyers. We are very grateful for their support during such a high stress time and would recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home. We also love that they donate a portion of their fee to charity. Thank you Melinda & Alicia!

We have just bought a property with the help of Melinda & Alicia from Ethical Choice Buyer Agents and could not recommend them more highly. They were absolutely lovely and guided us through the whole process. They offered invaluable insights, advice, and support through what would otherwise have been quite a stressful time. We ended up securing a property we’re super happy with, for well under what we expected to pay, and couldn’t be more excited & grateful! Melinda and Alicia made the process straight forward and made us feel so much more comfortable knowing we were in good hands for any negotiations etc.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Finding a place can be a daunting experience, but working with Melinda and Alicia made the whole process manageable. They were methodical in their approach and kept me level-headed throughout, ensuring I stayed focused on what really mattered. Their guidance helped me avoid properties with the wrong attributes, and their deep knowledge of different areas and property types gave me real confidence in my decisions.

They managed a best-and-final offer process with skill and clear communication, helping me secure my home without unnecessary stress. They also worked seamlessly with the building and pest inspector and my broker and conveyancer, keeping everything on track. I felt supported every step of the way and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone buying in a competitive market.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was recommended to Mel and Alicia via a local FB page. Worried that I'd be priced out of my local area in a few months, they were able to help me secure a property in time. Their communication has been top-notch throughout the entire process (organising viewings, setting up building and pest, etc.). The highlight was seeing them play their strategy on auction day. And to top it all off, they donate 5% of proceeds to housing charities. Blown away.

Special thanks to Alicia for her professionalism and ensured we had all the information we needed to feel confident throughout.

Melinda and Damian were absolutely amazing to work with. From the outset, they made us feel like a priority — always responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right property. They know the Melbourne market inside and out, and their advice and appraisals on every property we considered were always honest, detailed, and realistic.

Beyond their expertise, they’re just great human beings — kind, grounded, and incredibly easy to deal with. They really took the burden off our shoulders, especially when it came to negotiating with vendors and navigating the stress that often comes with house hunting. It honestly felt like they had our backs the whole way through.

If you’re looking for buyer’s agents who combine professionalism with real integrity and care, we highly recommend Melinda and Damian. Marc & Felicity.

Melinda and her team were first class from day one. The services and costs are transparent and easy to comprehend.  Within 6 weeks of signing up with Melinda we signed on a great family apartment in a great location for a price we were happy with. The process was made easy, communication was clear, immediate and concise. It felt great to be in such safe hands. Thanks team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After looking for a house for almost a year and missing out at 3 auctions, we decided to engage with Melinda and her team and ethical choice buyers agents. Melinda and Alicia were so friendly and warm, and they did so much work to help us find our place. After some very tactical bidding by Melinda and Alicia, we got our dream house after only 3 weeks of signing up with them! Would highly recommend their services. Melinda was always so honest about how much each property was worth, and to not pay more than that! Their fixed pricing also means they don’t work on a commission basis. Thanks so much Melinda and Alicia!

I appreciated that they used a clear and methodical approach, have good knowledge of specific neighbourhoods and agents and are great communicators.

You will be in good hands if you go with Ethical!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We approached Melinda and Alicia as we wanted an expert’s support and opinion when buying a house via EOI. We were looking for someone to project manage the purchase for us, so we don’t overlook anything or make an expensive mistake. But also someone to provide guidance with the purchasing strategy, how much to offer and of course take care of the negotiations. Most of us will never buy anything more expensive than a property - so why would you NOT engage an expert to ensure you are doing it right?
In the end, we had to be really quick to lock in the property we wanted. We would have not managed this without Melinda and Alicia. Within less than 36 hours of officially engaging them we managed to secure the property with all the due diligence done, including an appraisal. But their service does not stop with the successful offer either. Melinda and Alicia were always available when we had questions, concerns and just didn’t know what the next steps were! The service is competitively priced and easily paid off – not only saving us so much stress and worry if we are doing the right thing, but also actual $$$$$. Melinda and Alicia know what they are doing, and the agents know that they are dealing with professionals.
We can’t recommend Melinda and Alicia highly enough and would certainly engage them if we were to purchase again.

Being referred to Ethical Choice was honestly one of the best things that could’ve happened during our buying journey. What’s usually a stressful, time-consuming process felt smooth and straightforward. Their amazing network (solicitor and building & pest contractor) meant we could head into a very last-minute auction feeling totally confident. Throughout it all, Melinda and Alicia were so supportive and kind — we always felt like we could ask anything, without ever feeling judged. Thank you both for helping make such a big moment feel exciting and joyful instead of overwhelming.

My home-buying journey started 9 months ago, and after months of searching, I honestly began to feel like I’d never find the right place. That was until Melinda and Lisa came to the rescue!

They truly nailed the brief—listening carefully, understanding exactly what I needed, and finding me the perfect home in less than two weeks. I was blown away. They made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable.

I’m so grateful for their support, professionalism, and genuine care. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Their attention to detail, extensive knowledge, diligence and support throughout the process was second to none. Would definitely recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Melinda was invaluable in helping us navigate the housing market as first-home buyers. Her expertise, transparency, and patience made the process smoother and less stressful than we anticipated. She took the time to understand our needs, provided knowledgeable and honest advice, and bolstered us during moments of doubt. Melinda's approach helped us secure our home at a SIGNIFICANTLY lower price than we anticipated. I honestly don't think we would have been able to save as much money on our purchase without her and can't recommend working with her more!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the initial conversation all the way through to finding my forever home, I could not fault the experience provided by Melinda and her team.
With a focus on my wants and needs in a home, Melinda and team always had me in mind when searching for suitable properties.
The process and service was clearly explained from start to finish which took the stress out of buying a property.
Communication at every point within the searching and buying process was more than expected making me feel at ease with the whole process.

I could not recommend Melinda and her team highly enough

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Melinda came highly recommended by a friend and exceeded our expectations from the beginning. She was involved and communicative from the start of the process and never faltered, always going above and beyond to ensure we remained informed regarding each property we considered. Her persistence and attentiveness were incredibly reassuring during moments of stress and doubt, and we wouldn't have physically been able to follow through with our purchase had it not been for Melinda's generosity. Everyone should have someone in their corner when buying a home, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. Thank you, Melinda!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Melinda came highly recommended by a friend I trusted and my experience was excellent.  I had been looking for a home for 19 months, struggling to find the time to look and assess properties.  From the moment I engaged Ethical Choice a weight lifted from my shoulders.  Melinda and Alicia had my back throughout the whole process, including advocating and supporting me through two major hitches before and prior to settlement.  Their obvious experience and expertise saved me time and money and they went above and beyond to support me with numerous phone conversations.  I am certain I wouldn't have found the right home for me, without their help. Very highly recommended from me!  Thank you.

They made the process of buying a home so much less stressful, especially for people like us who are not from Australia. Everyone they connected us with from mortgage broker to solicitor to home inspector were top notch and professional. Melinda and Alicia answered all of our questions (no matter how trivial) and guided us through the process with such professionalism and expertise. They helped us find the perfect home and put in a smart offer. We are so happy with our purchase thanks to them 🙂

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was passed on Melinda and her team’s details from my solicitor after having been on the house hunt for well over half a year and not having any success. From the initial catch up going over my wants and needs, the whole process was so effortless and I can’t believe I waited this long to work with a buyer’s agent! Working with Ethical Choice just made me feel so at ease, and made what has been quite a previously stressful journey, a lot easier knowing that the team have so much experience. I would gladly recommend working with the team without any hesitation to anyone looking for a property!

As a first home buyer Melinda took all the stress and uncertainty out buying a home. Her honesty and transparency throughout process was refreshing and she was always there when I needed guidance. The most valuable thing I found was her knowledge of the industry, and her connections, even through the due diligence process.

I highly recommend Melinda and her team for any first home buyer who is overwhelmed by the thought of buying property.

We connected based on the recommendation of a few friends who had great experiences. The market was changing quickly during our search, which made it difficult to find the home we were looking for. Given that it was a family home, we were quite emotional buyers, and they were phenomenal at not only navigating the changing market but also supporting us with expert advice, patience and deep care.

We look forward to working with them again for our next purchase when the time comes and will be recommending their services to all of our family and friends.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't rave more about my experience with Melinda and Alicia. They were amazing, wonderful to work with, and landed me exactly what I was looking for.

Their focus and communication throughout the journey was exceptional. Not to mention actually working with me to find the place that hit my very tight brief, rather than steering me in another direction, despite the tall order. And they delivered!

Such great knowledge and insight of the local area and market.

Having spent around two years on the task myself (seriously looking and delaying at times), the really modest investment in getting ECB on the case was well worth it. Notwithstanding a difficult market environment, the whole thing was done within 3 months!

Could not recommend Melinda and Alicia more highly and would definitely use ECB again in the future.

From the moment we engaged their services, they provided nothing short of exceptional support in our journey to buy our first home.

Melinda and Alicia didn't just guide us through the process; they empowered us with invaluable expert knowledge and advice, instilling us with the confidence we needed to make informed decisions. Their meticulous preparation, including detailed spreadsheets outlining our options, and their willingness to go the extra mile by taking photos, inspecting properties, and offering insightful advice, truly set them apart.

If you're like us, finding the real estate market overwhelming or dealing with agents feels daunting, I couldn't recommend Melinda and Alicia enough. Their dedication and expertise made all the difference in our home-buying experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with Melinda and Alicia has been nothing short of fantastic. We’ve just bought a great house in the very specific location we were after, at a price that we are happy with. We also had a tricky situation, with multiple appealing houses on sale within the same week. Melinda and Alicia helped us navigate this and come up with a strategy to make sure we secured one of the houses. The whole process was a lot less daunting and stressful because of them - they were so thorough, responsive, knowledgeable and really great to work with. In the end we managed to get a private offer in just before auction. No way we would’ve been able to pull that off on our own. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What would we do without Melinda?! We've just bought our first home with her support and could not recommend her more. She has a deep understanding of the property market and what makes a great investment. She supported us at every single stage of the process, making no question feel like a stupid one. She was also able to negotiate a price well under what we would've been able to do alone.

We were on a slightly squishy timeline due to an imminent overseas trip. If we hadn't worked with Melinda we simply wouldn't have got everything done in time. We would also be second guessing our decisions.

If you are on the fence about working with a buyers agent, I cannot express how worthwhile it is. We've saved money and time but most importantly we have peace of mind that we've made the right decision and could not be more excited to move into our first home.

Thanks again Melinda, you're the best!

I know of three others who were happy with their results. She definitely pulled off a great victory for me. Very responsive, kept my needs at the forefront.  She found a rare and beautiful villa unit (off market) a stones throw from all  amenities in Fairfield. Wow.   Best location and It was within my budget  too. I really appreciated the work that goes on behind the scenes to make results like mine possible. I cannot recommend enough. Thank you to Melinda and Damian.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Well, where to begin? My partner and I had been looking for a house on and off for 3 years. I must admit I was unsure as to what benefit a buyer's agent would provide because it seemed like we were doing everything very well in terms of inspections, contract reviews and bidding. However, Melinda and Alicia just completely changed the nature of house buying as soon as we got them on board.  They made the whole process very very easy, reduced our stress, time and emotional effort. And that just meant we were always better informed and ready.  They made sure we didn't offer too much on each property we considered.
As to outcome, they got us a fantastic house at a price we were happy with! We could not have done it without them!!!!!  A final point - Melinda and Alicia were really fun to work with as well. I really cannot recommend them enough 🙂

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Melinda from Ethical Choice Buyer Agents was an absolute game-changer in my journey to buying my first home. Within just 48 hours of enlisting her services, I found myself closing a deal on a property through a private sale. Melinda's support went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. From coordinating with specialized solicitors to liaising with agents and banks, she navigated every step of the process with precision and expertise.

What truly set Melinda apart was her unwavering emotional support and clear communication. She made herself available whenever I needed her, even sending thoughtful texts to check on my well-being throughout the process. Her explanations of the complex procedures were clear and concise, and her advice was always honest and sound.

Melinda's knowledge of the property market was exceptional, and her thorough research and valuation based on comparable properties gave me confidence in my decision-making. Her extensive network of professionals, including solicitors and builders, ensured that every aspect of the purchase was handled with care and diligence.

I cannot express enough gratitude to Melinda for her kind, calm, and professional approach. Thanks to her expertise and timely support, I am now the proud owner of a property that exceeds my expectations. Without her, I would have undoubtedly missed out on this opportunity.

I wholeheartedly recommend Melinda and Ethical Choice Buyer Agents to anyone in search of a property. With Melinda by your side, you can trust that your home-buying journey will be nothing short of exceptional.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ethical Choice Buyers Agents are a great team to work with and I highly recommend them. They made the process of buying a property incredibly easy for me. Their friendly, professional and inclusive attitude towards their clients combined with their extensive experience in the property market, mixed with their undeniable passion for helping people find a real “home” makes them a powerful and extremely efficient team. If you know what you are looking for, they will find and secure the best fit for you much quicker than you would do on your own. If you don’t know what you are looking for, they can help you narrow down your search and get a realistic view of the market before you begin your search. Their prices are also very reasonable compared to other buyer’s advocates. The money you spend for their service is nothing compared to the amount of support you get from the team, the peace of mind you will have throughout the process, the amount of experience and expertise they bring with them, how much time they will save for you in searching and competing in the property market, and most importantly, how much money they will save for you in negotiations.

So glad Ethical Choice Buyers were recommended to us by a friend.  It would have been soooo much harder without the intel and advocacy.

I had been struggling in the market for a bit, after finding out about these guys from a work colleague who used them, I decided go to give Melinda and her team a go. Best decision I’d made, I wish I had of known about them sooner. The transition into the purchase of the property was seamless and stress free, I was a first time buyer and a bit lost in the whole process. The added security of Melinda and her team on my side and their knowledge of the market and buying process made it so easy for me. I highly recommend if you’re in the market for a property and in need of a buyers advocate, go with this team.

Melinda and Alicia did all the legwork with a lot of insights, info, and recommendations that were particularly useful to our needs.  Unlike many real estate agents who are often just there to make the maximal amount of money for themselves and people they represent this company truly says what they do - it’s in the name.  We are living interstate and was unable to do all the legwork and they did all the work for us: the search, update, reco, price, organised building report, bid (under our budget and won!), coordinated conveyancing.  Not to mention just so lovely to speak with so much empathy on a human level (never met in person) Best money I’ve ever spent. Highly recommend.

They coordinated building inspections and contract reviews - we didn’t have to lift a finger, which was amazing. And best of all - Melinda and her team found us a gorgeous property, private sale, within our budget and preferred suburb, within a month of engaging them. I couldn’t recommended them highly enough for their skill, contacts, expertise in the Melbourne property market and absolutely fantastic way of doing business.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a gem of a human, professional and buyer advocate Melinda is! She is a lifesaver and we would have been completely unable to buy our home without her (and Alicia). Truly Ethical Choice Buyer Agents is the best money spent of our life!

As first-time home buyers, immigrants, with a tight budget and zero knowledge of the real estate market, we had spent months going to awful inspections, trawling websites and going nowhere. We were disheartened and lost. We engaged Melinda at a time the market was chaotic and rough with 40% less quality houses and auctions going crazy. To top it off we had a very tight deadline to vacate our rental. Even so, Melinda found a myriad of properties, was so on point with her knowledge of different areas/houses/equity expectancy etc and helped us with every step. She was so emphatic and patient as well as encouraging and hopeful.

We ended buying a beautiful home for a great price with our desired settlement time because of her efficiency and savvy ways. We saw a house on a Saturday, she engaged the building inspector and lawyer to review contract for that Monday at 9:30am! We were able to place an offer that same day and everything was so quick the other interested parties (some with buyer advocates too) weren't even able to react. Whoa, BEST BUYER ADVOCATE IN AUSTRALIA!

I'd definitely recommend Melinda to anyone thinking of buying property and we hope to win the lottery so we can buy more houses and work with her again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Melinda is an absolute superstar! I wish we'd known about her when we initially started searching for our first house because the Melbourne real estate market is BRUTAL. We missed out on so many houses (and wasted 1000's of dollars on building inspections for said houses) before we engaged her. We were despondent from getting stuffed around by the private process and/or missing out at auctions, and we'd pretty much lost hope that we'd be able to stay close to work and friends/community.  Luckily, someone suggested we try a buyer's advocate and Melinda was recommended - I'm so so glad she was! She is equal parts professional real estate gun and caring team mate, and she took over negotiations with so much skill and knowledge straight away, that we were instantly reassured. She talked us through everything and consulted sometimes several times a day and in a really short time managed to secure us a great little place only minutes from where we currently live for an amazing price. Honestly- if you're trying to buy your first home and you don't have a million dollars to spend (or the Bank of Mum & Dad) make room in your budget to engage Melinda because you need someone who's on YOUR side who can play the real estate agents' games for you. She really knows what she's doing. Melinda - we cannot thank you enough!

Because the property is to be leased to a non-profit organisation to be used for social housing, Melinda extensively liaised with the organisation to understand the type of property and location needed.  She gave me a thorough report on the areas suitable.  Her great knowledge, experience and professionalism were invaluable in securing the right property, as was her help in advising me on other professionals and tradespeople.  Nothing was too much trouble for her.  I would absolutely recommend Melinda to anyone wanting to buy a property.

In just a week, I could find the perfect place for myself and I could not believe how quick and easy it was, but only because they were there for me. Melinda has been recommended by people that have been working with her and I could not make a better decision. The best thing was cross checking options, reviewing places and knowledge sharing, when sometimes you might just need a bit of extra confidence. The process was not stressful at all. Melinda was always available, extremely friendly and genuine. She works with dedication and passion and that can only lead to respect. I highly recommend Ethical Choice and I am so glad I could work with Melinda and Alicia, thanks so much for your support.
Last but not least, as part of the business model, 5% was donated to a charity organisation chosen by myself.

Melinda made the process of buying so much easier. Besides being very good at her job, she is also a lovely person as were all the other professionals she put me in touch with to assist with the process. Thanks Melinda!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the very first Zoom session we knew we were onto someone brilliant.!!
Melinda’s 30+ years of passion for real estate, and providing exceptional professional client service and advice, was present the entire journey.  Her knowledge of what to pursue or avoid was priceless to us novice purchasers - without her I’m sure we could’ve slipped up.  When Melinda says she’ll do something, she does it, damn straight! We were kept in the loop almost every single day about properties that struck interest and she openly shared her thoughts on what she or we had found, and hastily had the ball rolling investigating the property; its viability; its history; and so on.
I/we cannot sing enough praise about Melinda and the experience we’ve had. She knew what we wanted and she knew how to get it - and we did.!!!
Thank you so much Melinda. Wines in the garden real soon Tony&Philip

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Melinda has been an absolute lifesaver while buying my first home. She has fantastic knowledge of the areas I was looking in and has very high standards for what she looks for in a property. She is also so lovely to work with and has great rapport with real estate agents. When I found my dream place, she acted very quickly and we were able to secure the first place we put an offer on. I am beyond excited and couldn't have done it without her and Alicia. Thank you so much ladies!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of working with Melinda to find my dream home. Melinda was amazing to work with. She is incredibly knowledgeable and works with you to find a home that meets your requirements. She researched the areas I wanted to buy in, and went above and beyond to view properties, even ones I was on the fence about. She kept me the loop at all times including sending lots of photos and joining me for inspections. Melinda's knowledge gave me peace of mind in the negotiating period, and make it such a smooth and non-stressful event. Her services don't stop after signing the contract and she was incredible in helping me with some last minute issues before settlement. If you need help finding a property, looking to take the stress away from the process or just need some support I cannot recommend Melinda's service enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Melinda after being referred by two of her previous clients. I was also in pits of despair at the time wondering how I was going to get a purchase over the line after months of hunting and trying to deal with agents.

I am late into home ownership  at 48 years old and was on a tight budget. Melinda handled the whole thing and got busy investigating some places I had looked at prior to our call.

Ive heard of other experiences of advocates not bothering with helping small fry buyers like me. But not Melinda, she was really respectful and understood what a big emotional deal it was for me buying a home. Even though I wasn't a cashed up client - she addressed every detail with care, going through the pros and cons of the different properties and locations.

She explained things thoroughly - she even injected some much needed humour during what was really probably one of the most stressful things I've navigated in recent years.

Now I have put a deposit on a place I can't wait to move into. Thanks Melinda what a legend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Melinda Walker’s expertise and support was crucial in giving us the confidence to purchase a property in Melbourne without having seen it in person.

She dedicated lots of time to developing a clear idea of exactly what we were looking for in location and property.

Being overseas and unable to inspect properties ourselves we relied on her detailed and candid feedback.

Once a suitable property was identified, Melinda oversaw for us all steps leading to the auction (building report, solicitors etc), and ensured we were on top of additional factors affecting overseas buyers.

Even after the purchase she has continued to provide helpful advice to us about next steps as we prepare the property for our relocation.

Melinda was an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout. We highly recommend Ethical Choice Buyer Agents.

Having someone that knows the industry so well and who very much acts in your interestes on your team is invaluable, especially when making possibly the largest purchase of your life!   As a bonus, she's also a pleasure to deal with.

Melinda was recommended to me and within a week and a half I purchased my home. Her professionalism and insights into the local area and property prices was invaluable. I was both confident and very relieved to relinquish the responsibility of bidding at auction and negotiations with real estate agents: I could not have felt more supported. Incredibly efficient and absolutely lovely: I could not have done it without her. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently engaged the services of Ethical Choice Buyer Agents to secure a property. Melinda was an absolute pleasure to work with, is a true professional and such a lovely person! Melinda new her stuff, was very thorough in researching the property market in the area I was looking to purchase and dealt closely with the selling agent. During the entire time she kept in close communication with me and provided amazing support and advice. I was most grateful to have Melinda in my corner, particularly during a nerve racking boardroom auction. If you are looking for a true professional with many years of experience, then look no further. I highly recommend engaging Melinda's service to assist you in purchasing a property.

My wife and I have been looking for an investment property for some time and despite our own efforts were unsuccessful in finding the place that aligned with our goals. Enter Melinda, who I found through a Google search and I can say that her effort, genuine care and expertise have been invaluable in assisting us in finding our ideal investment property.

I would highly recommend Melinda to anyone looking to find their first, second or third investment property, or for that matter your next home. Melinda's professionalism and her approach as if she were buying the property for herself make her very easy to recommend. You will not be disappointed and if we go again, we will be doing so with Melinda's assistance.

I was in genuine need of finding a secure home under difficult personal circumstances in a heated market. Melinda was not only professional and knowledgeable, with a great network of contacts, but also supportive and flexible. Within less than a month, we found a home that was far nicer and better located than I would have thought possible. With her help we sealed the deal quickly and efficiently without me having to negotiate with real estate agents. I'll remain very grateful for this leg-up into the property market for some time to come.

She is personable, friendly and confident in her bidding. Melinda made our forever home purchase a memorable experience and we highly recommend her services!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were looking for our house for over six months but without much luck. We then decided to seek professional help and engaged Melinda. She was very professional, highly responsive and she knew her stuff. She brought along a team of experts from conveyancers to building experts. Dealing with real estate agents can be quite stress full....she negotiated the deal as per our terms. We achieved 5 TIMES ROI on the fee we paid, that too in a seller's market. Within a week of having her by my side we now have our house. She DELIVERS RESULTS!!

If you are looking to buy we HIGHLY RECOMMEND having Ethical Choice Buyer Agent by your side. THANK YOU Melinda for helping us secure our house. We wouldn't have done it without your help.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our house hunting journey was very similar to a lot of people, highs, lows, frustration and being blown away at auction.
The difference for us, is we had a secret weapon in the form of Melinda!

Buying a house during COVID was uniquely difficult, dealing with lockdowns, difficulty receiving finance as well as incredibly stiff competition.

Melinda was persistent in searching, steering us clear of dud properties and poor investment decisions, her understanding of the market is second to none.

She would have to put up with our long-winded phone calls at all hours as well as what seemed like constantly shifting goal posts.

On top of that Melinda has a great sense of humour, which was needed when we would miss out on property after property and hope was waning.

Melinda was able to find us an off-market opportunity eight months into our search, and she was tenacious until the deal was done.
Melinda organised inspections, contracts and almost all communication, this took a lot of stress out of a very stressful situation.

All in all, Melinda presented fantastic value and service and I wouldn't imagine going through that process without her!

Thanks Melinda!
Matthew, Ellory and Amelie

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Melinda walked us through our first home purchase this year and made it so easy - I don't know how we would have done it without her knowledge and advice.

Her predictions of sale prices of properties we were looking at were accurate and realistic, and she didn't let us get our hopes up on something that wasn't going to fit in our budget. She knew how to communicate well with us and also with the realestate agents, getting us knowledge to help secure a sale. As well as that she felt genuine and friendly, is easy to talk to, and she was clearly excited for us when we got out purchase. I would absolutely recommend using Melindas services and will be excited to work with her again in future!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ethical Choice Buyer Agents provide an outstanding an service. As a first home buyer, the process can be overwhelming and disenchanting. As soon as I connected with Melinda, I felt completely at ease and supported which helped me be confident in my decisions.
Melinda has extensive experience, connections and knowledge to recommend her as a top buyers advocate. However, it was equally her kind and warm personality (and quick witted sense of humour!) that made the whole experience an absolute joy.
Melinda was honest, clear and strategic with her advice. Buying a property can be very stressful, especially with this competitive market and I am so ecstatic with my purchase. I am 100% sure I would never had purchased such a quality property this quickly and at such a great price without Melinda. I cannot recommend her enough.

We have only good things to say about our experience with Melinda - she was recommended to us by friends so that was a great start, and she helped us navigate buying our new house, through an EOI process that we were not familiar with or confident embarking on by ourselves. Melinda assisted us with research on comparable properties in the area, and it was great to have her as a sounding board when it came to her thoughts on the property and our overall approach/strategy. She was very generous in her time, and was always willing to carefully explain her thinking and walk us through various things. She definitely helped settle our nerves as we felt like she had our back every step of the way. Would highly recommend, and have already passed on her details to friends. Thanks again, Melinda!

She gave us great insights which really helped in the search, and then when it came to inspections and negotiating a price she was absolutely invaluable, providing the experience and knowledge that we needed at every step of the way. She was able to negotiate the price down at the key moment, paying for her service and more. 🙂

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such a fun and professional experience.  I am generally quite conservative when it comes to outsourcing the purchase of a property, given that in my business I am all about outsourcing.
The process was very easy for us, we had all the information at hand, Melinda guided us all through the process and her years of experience really provided such great guidance, We were successful at purchasing pre auction which reduced all the anxiety of auction day.  I have no doubt in my mind that I would now use Melinda to do all our property purchasing.

The service was centred around getting us the right place, not the first or most expensive one, using her wealth of knowledge and connections in the industry. Importantly for us the engagement was on a fixed price for only the help we needed.

Melinda is extremely personable and always went out of her way to communicate when it suited us, particularly during negotiation when the minutes counted most. We'll be going straight back if ever we're in the market for a second property.  Thanks for the help!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Melinda was great.  She was flexible in her approach and customised the services she provided to what we needed, leaving out what we didn't.  We bought through an EOI process (thanks Covid-19), Melinda looked after all strategy for this, used a number of her real-estate contacts to get information we would have spent weeks we didn't have chasing and then secured the property for us.  Without the knowledge she was able to pull in it would have been far riskier to buy what we did and I suspect we would have either let the opportunity slip by or overpaid.  Thoroughly recommended, and not just for first home buyers.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Melinda recently helped me buy my first home. I took the 'Bidding and Negotiating' package and it proved to be invaluable. I thought I could do it on my own but when it came down to it Melinda took a huge amount of stress out of the process for me. Melinda is very experienced and knowledgable in the Real Estate market and went above and beyond to help - she swiftly checked out the property of interest and reassured me it was an excellent buy from many perspectives. She moved quickly and had the offer underway in no time. She skillfully handled the negotiations in constant communication with me and not only quickly secured the property at an excellent price but got a new fence into the bargain (which I wouldn't have thought to do). She then went on to hold my hand every step of the way. There were some really stressful moments and Melinda was always on the other end of the line, problem solving and being a huge support and guide in the process. Incredibly grateful and highly recommend the very personal and tailored approach that 'Ethical Choice Buyer Agents' offer. It's worth every penny and they are true to their name.

Her tailored approach helped to find the right fit for me and ensured my decision had very few drawbacks and a huge potential for profit in the future.

I highly recommend taking on the help of Melinda and the team to cut down on reasearch time, negotiate a better price point with sellers and ensure your decision will meet all your needs and expectations.
I'd be still looking for a house without her that's for sure!

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does a Buyer’s Agent do, and how are you different from a Real Estate Agent?
A traditional Real Estate Agent is legally obligated to work for the seller to achieve the highest price possible. As Buyer’s Agents, we work exclusively for you.
We help level the playing field by using our 35+ years of industry experience to find suitable properties, assess their true market value, and handle negotiations or auction bidding on your behalf. Our role is to help you buy well, avoid costly mistakes, and reduce the stress that often comes with navigating the property market alone.
Can you help if I’ve already found a property?
Yes. Many of our clients come to us after they’ve already identified a property they’re interested in.
Through our Evaluate & Negotiate service, we can assess the property, advise on pricing, review the contract, and negotiate or bid on your behalf. This is often helpful if you’re unsure how to proceed or want confidence before making a commitment.
How do you help me avoid overpaying?
We assess each property based on comparable sales, current market conditions, and the specifics of the home itself. This helps you understand what a property is really worth and whether it represents the right opportunity for your goals and budget.
Can you find off-market properties?
Yes. Through our network and industry relationships, we can often introduce opportunities that are not publicly advertised.
In some cases, this can reduce competition and give buyers access to properties before they reach the broader market. Our focus is always on helping you secure the right property at the right price for your circumstances.
How quickly can you help me buy?
It depends on your brief and readiness, but many of our clients are looking to purchase within the next couple of months.
We work best with buyers who are ready to move forward, either with finance pre-approved or funds available, and who want guidance to make informed decisions in a competitive market.
Do I need finance approved before working with you?
Ideally, yes. Having finance in place allows you to act quickly when the right property becomes available.
If you’re still organising finance, we can guide you on the next steps before commencing the search process in full.
I’m feeling overwhelmed by the property search. How do you simplify the process?
Many buyers spend months attending inspections, monitoring listings, and second-guessing decisions.
Our role is to reduce that pressure by handling the research, filtering opportunities, arranging inspections, reviewing contracts, and managing negotiations. Instead of constantly searching, you can focus on evaluating the right opportunities with a clear strategy and experienced guidance behind you.
Do you only work with luxury buyers or wealthy investors?
Not at all. We work with a diverse range of clients, including first-home buyers, families, upsizers, downsizers, and investors.
We offer different levels of service, from Full Buyer Advocacy through to Evaluate & Negotiate packages, depending on your needs and the level of support you’re looking for.
What areas do you specialise in?
We work across a range of Melbourne suburbs where we have strong local knowledge and established relationships. This allows us to provide more accurate advice and identify opportunities that align with your brief.
What makes the “Ethical Choice” approach different?
Our name reflects the way we approach both property and community.
Alongside providing independent property advice and advocacy, 5% of our fee is donated to organisations that support safe and secure housing for those in need, including Launch Housing, Lighthouse Foundation, and GIVIT.
For many clients, it’s a meaningful way to support the broader community while purchasing their own home or investment property.
