Abbotsford is a fast-moving inner-city property market where the best properties — particularly warehouse conversions and Yarra riverfront apartments — sell before they reach the public market. A buyers advocate with Abbotsford connections can get you into these deals early. But understanding your options — including free alternatives — is important before committing $15,000–$25,000 in advocacy fees.
