What Makes the Best Real Estate Agent in Ivanhoe?
Ivanhoe’s best agents know that the suburb’s premium comes from four sources: Lower Heidelberg Road school catchment (Ivanhoe Grammar, Ivanhoe East Primary), the Yarra River corridor, the Burgundy Street village and the suburb’s elevated garden character. The best agents can articulate and document these premiums to justify the price to buyers.
