Built in Surrey Hills, not transferred to it.
Spring came up inside what was Victoria’s number one sales team. That experience shaped how she runs campaigns today, direct with vendors, thorough on buyer qualification, and clear-eyed about pricing. She didn’t drift into Surrey Hills later in her career. She built her reputation there from the ground up.
As a native Mandarin speaker, she reaches buyers that other agents cannot access directly. In Surrey Hills’ $2M-plus house market, that buyer pool matters and is one reason her campaigns consistently attract more registered bidders per auction than the suburb average.
Her campaigns are backed by the full Fletchers Canterbury team, with an experienced in-house auctioneer working every auction day with full context on every buyer in the room.

The Surrey Hills market. What the data shows.
The median house price in Surrey Hills, VIC 3127 was $2,100,000 for the June 2025 quarter (REIV). The median unit price was $950,000 for the same period.
CoreLogic data records the median across all house transactions over the past 12 months at approximately $2.265M to $2.3M. Surrey Hills recorded 161 house sales in the past 12 months, with an auction clearance rate of 69.9% and average days on market of 31 days (Woodards/CoreLogic 2026). The suburb sits 11 km from the Melbourne CBD.
A 69.9% clearance rate is a healthy market, but it’s not uniform across the suburb. Streets with confirmed Surrey Hills Primary catchment and proximity to Canterbury Girls or Camberwell Grammar are drawing more competition per campaign than streets just outside those zones.
The 31-day average is real, but it hides the gap between well-priced properties and those that need a vendor price conversation mid-campaign. Properties that sell in the first two weeks are almost always priced correctly from day one. That’s the conversation I have upfront, not after four weeks on market.
Buyers in the $2M to $2.5M range are active and informed. Many have been watching Surrey Hills for 12-plus months. The ones who move fast already know the suburb. They’re waiting for the right property at the right number, not for the market to shift.

The campaign. Start to sold.
Clear communication. Strong buyer qualification. Backed by a 107-year agency network. Six steps, consistently applied.
Street-level appraisal
Every appraisal starts with the last three comparable sales on your specific street. Spring knows which Surrey Hills addresses carry a school catchment premium, which buyer profiles are active in each price bracket right now, and what preparation work will actually shift the needle at auction. She doesn’t start from the suburb median and work backwards.
Buyer matching before listing
Before a property hits Domain or realestate.com.au, Spring matches it against buyers she knows are actively searching in that price range. Her database includes Mandarin-speaking buyers who aren’t visible to every agent in the market. Several properties sell before auction because a buyer who’s been waiting 12 months gets the first call.
Campaign build
Professional photography, copywriting, and marketing through Fletchers’ in-house team. Live on Domain and realestate.com.au, with digital targeting built around the most active buyer profile for that price point. Plus reach across 25 Fletchers offices through Melbourne’s eastern corridor, a 107-year-old buyer network.
Auction day
The agent who built the campaign and qualified every buyer is the same person in the room on auction day. Spring knows every registered bidder’s position before the microphone goes on, their ceiling, their motivation, and how far they’ll stretch. That context is what separates a well-run auction from one that stalls.
Negotiation
The goal is always the best achievable result, not the fastest close. Spring’s approach is direct: she tells vendors where the buyer evidence is pointing before a campaign starts, not halfway through. That alignment on price positioning is why her average days on market tracks below the suburb average.
After settlement
The relationship doesn’t close at settlement. Several Surrey Hills families who sold with Spring have come back when they were ready to buy again, or referred their neighbours. That repeat and referral business is built on one thing: accurate advice at every stage of the campaign.
What selling with Spring looks like.
Sourced from verified client feedback on ratemyagent.com.au and realestate.com.au.

What knowing Surrey Hills actually looks like.
School catchment boundaries, streets that carry a premium, buyer types by price range, the knowledge that only comes from doing hundreds of transactions in the same suburb.
Surrey Hills Primary School at 2 Beatrice Avenue is the suburb’s strongest buyer demand driver. Properties in its catchment consistently attract more registered auction bidders than comparable homes outside it. The school has operated continuously since 1886 and carries a reputation that shows up in buyer urgency at auction.
Chatham Primary School covers the eastern pocket of the suburb. At secondary level, Canterbury Girls Secondary College is the government zone school. Private options within immediate reach include Kingswood College on Station Street, Camberwell Grammar, Camberwell Girls Grammar, and Fintona Girls School.
All catchment boundaries are street-specific. A difference of one block can materially affect sale price. Spring confirms exact boundaries at every appraisal.

Three things separate Spring Chen from other agents operating in Surrey Hills.
Buyer reach. As a native Mandarin speaker, Spring accesses a significant pool of eastern suburbs buyers directly, without a language barrier that affects buyer qualification or negotiation.
Campaign accuracy. Her average days on market tracks below the suburb average because she starts with pricing evidence, not aspirational estimates.
Network. As a Director at Fletchers Canterbury, an office that has won RateMyAgent Agency of the Year four times, she brings a 25-office buyer network to every listing.
Houses in Surrey Hills are averaging 31 days on market as of 2026 (CoreLogic). A standard auction campaign runs four weeks from launch to auction day.
Well-presented properties in the Surrey Hills Primary or Canterbury Girls secondary catchments that are accurately priced typically attract competitive bidding and can sell on or before auction day. Properties sitting past the 31-day average are almost always priced above where comparable sales evidence supports.
