From Marina to Reef: Belle Property opens in paradise with a new office in the Whitsundays.

Australia’s leading lifestyle real estate brand, Belle Property, is thrilled to announce its latest office launch of Belle Property Whitsundays. The new office is headed up by the highest-performing team in the region, led by real estate experts Stephanie McWhirter and Adam Webster, who have nearly 30 years of experience and have sold nearly 1,000 properties combined in the Whitsundays.  

As the best-performing real estate agent in the region, Stephanie sold more properties than any other agent in the Whitsundays over the last 3 years and holds the price record over two suburbs (Jubilee Pocket and Cannon Valley). Steph also achieved Chairman Elite status in the Ray White Group, placing her in the top 3% of agents nationally.  

Joining Steph is her fiancé and long-time real estate agent, Adam Webster, whose deep knowledge of the industry and outstanding sales results have made him one of the most experienced property consultants in the area. Adam has also been a valued mentor and sales manager to younger agents, setting them up for success in the industry. Also joining the team are Jordan Wilkie and Casey Pitman, whose highly professional client service and second-to-none work ethic make the Belle Property Whitsundays team a force to be reckoned with.  

The Whitsunday property market is unique due to its stunning natural beauty, featuring direct access to the Great Barrier Reef and pristine beaches, making it a prime location for tourism and vacation homes. There’s a mix of luxury developments and affordable options, attracting both investors and lifestyle buyers. Additionally, the region’s strong tourism infrastructure supports a vibrant rental market, providing opportunities for short-term rentals.  

The Whitsundays have seen a steady increase in property demand, spurred by the region's breathtaking natural beauty and a growing interest in lifestyle properties. The average property prices have risen by approximately 8% over the past year, reflecting a strong recovery post-pandemic. A notable trend is the influx of interstate buyers, particularly from larger metropolitan areas seeking a tranquil lifestyle which has resulted in a competitive market, particularly for coastal properties and those with water views.  

When talking about why now is the time to open a Belle Property office in the region, Stephanie said, “The Whitsundays remain a prime location for both living and investing, offering a unique blend of lifestyle and opportunity. Whether you’re considering a permanent move or an investment, now is the time to explore what this beautiful region has to offer. Belle Property’s high-quality service and luxury positioning will give the Whitsundays a bit of fresh air, and we’re thrilled to be part of the Belle Property family.”  

Belle Property Head of State Queensland, David Holmes, commented on the new opening, “We’re so excited to be extending our brand into this little slice of paradise in Australia and continue to grow our presence in Queensland. We couldn’t think of a better team to lead the new Belle Property Whitsundays than Stephanie and her highly performing team. We look forward to seeing them introduce the brand to the local community and continue thriving as real estate agents.”
