Advice for a first home buyer in Melbourne??

Hi guys, I know this an investor's forum but I was wondering if I could get some advice for buying my first dwelling place. The market is tough and I am struggling to find a place that meet my needs with a low budget$400k) I have. If this post doesn't go against the forum rules and members are willing to help I will list my needs in the next post.

Also, are there reliable organisations who help buying based on client's criteria?

Thanks in advance.
