Greville Pabst Puts his Beachfront Fish Bowl on the Market

realestate.com.au featured Greville Pabst as he prepared to sell the Black Rock home he built, and spoke to him about his property advisory work and his tenth season on The Block.

Greville bought the original house on Beach Road nearly two decades ago and rebuilt it with his wife Lisa, keeping little more than the walls across an eighteen month build.

He told the paper he was sad to leave a house his two sons grew up in, with the family moving to a smaller property in Middle Park to be closer to his work.

On the professional side, having appeared on nine seasons of The Block and bought six properties from it for clients, he confirmed his return as a buyers advocate for a tenth season in Gisborne, where a farm has been subdivided into five farmlets.

He noted that he expects family buyers on the show each year and that each year the properties go to investors, and said he doubted the same would hold on farmland, which he did not regard as investor territory.
