Historical Evolution

Henry Elgar’s Special Survey, conducted in 1841, marked the inception of Balwyn as a region. This extensive survey, spanning eight square miles, was later divided into smaller farms and grazing areas. In the late 1850’s, a Scottish editor and journalist named Andrew Murray seized an opportunity to purchase a parcel from the subdivision. Choosing the site that now accommodates Fintona Girls’ School on Balwyn Road, Murray constructed a residence known as Balwyn.

    “Being interstate and the boarders closed we were nervous in purchasing our next investment without flying down to see it.

    However, it became evident from the start that you were not going to allow us to make a final decision until we were well educated not only on the property and the area, but the impact covid was having on the market and what kind of tenant we would achieve etc.

    The countless photos, videos, facetime walkthrough and answering all of our questions have not gone unnoticed.

    Thanks so very much, Lynda!”

    “Engaging with Lynda was one of the best decisions we have ever made and we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to others.

    After many months of searching for our first home, we felt disheartened by the market, but Lynda renewed our hope and confidence while also providing peace of mind that we had someone in our corner with immense expertise and industry knowledge.  Lynda is at all times professional, warm and respectful, and she genuinely cares about the best interests of her clients.

    Our expectations were exceeded when Lynda secured our first home at a brilliant price and in a wonderful location. She then guided us through the subsequent renovation process. Leveraging her industry contacts, she coordinated all quotes and trades to work within our budget while never compromising on quality.

    Lynda is proactive and had solutions ready for challenges before we even knew they existed! Her dedication and attention to detail are second to none; we had complete trust in Lynda from the beginning.

    We’re thrilled with the result, and wouldn’t be living where we are today if it wasn’t for Lynda.  Thanks, Lynda!”

    “Having tried to navigate the real estate process alone for quite some time, after starting working with Lynda success came quickly! She made the whole experience easy, with her calm, assured knowledge and guidance. Her communication throughout was excellent, which meant I was able to feel completely informed and part of the process, with the bonus of not having to worry about all the things that take time and effort making sure a property is going to be right.

    Lynda took the time to understand the kind of property I was after, even though these were few and far between. Most significantly, her ability to navigate the challenges of COVID impacting the property market, and knowing that I was being protected through negotiations was invaluable. Lynda made what had until then been quite an unpleasant process, easy, relaxed, and even fun sometimes!

    Thanks, Lynda!!”

    “When we feel in love with the “idea” of living on land we really had no idea where to buy or what would best suit our family – Your clear plan and questions certainly narrowed it down and made us look at what was most important, your knowledge and due diligence on the rural property was amazing- we learnt a lot!!

    Thank you also for going the extra mile looking into the schools, clubs, and community.

    We are living the dream!” (if only we could post you some eggs from the chickens)

    “After looking for 6 months and having to have my pre-approval updated once again I had almost given up on the idea of finding my next property.

    Then whilst having coffee with a friend (and complaining) she flicked me your card!

    The rest is like magic! – Within two weeks you had found not only the ideal property however it was pre-market giving me first option to secure without all the competition.

    Thank you so very much. We are very happy!”
