Belle Property further establishes its brand in Brisbane with the opening of a new office in The Gap.

Australia’s leading lifestyle real estate brand, Belle Property, is excited to announce its latest office launch of Belle Property The Gap in the fringing suburbs of Brisbane. The new office is led by the local real estate experts James Monaghan and Phil Cray, who have worked together and operated their previous office for over 15 years and have a combined experience of over 35 years. The new office in The Gap is part of Belle Property’s ongoing expansion plan, and the 19th office to be opened by the network in the largest city in the Sunshine State.

The principals of Belle Property The Gap are both seasoned and highly successful real estate professionals with a deep understanding of the local market and a reputation for high-quality service. James has over 22 years of experience, and in recognition of his achievements, he was named an Alan White Member, an accolade only the top 3% of sales agents in the Ray White group receive. James’ unwavering passion for real estate is evident in everything he does and his customer-first approach reflects his commitment to assisting homeowners with all of their real estate needs.

Taking the lead with James is Phil Cray, an experienced real estate professional who brings a wealth of experience in construction and property management to the new office. His expertise in managing and maintaining investment properties, along with his skill in selecting reliable tenants, provides homeowners with peace of mind and maximises their property’s return on investment. Joining James and Phil at Belle Property The Gap is valued team member and senior Sales Agent, Iva Chadwick, who brings 20 years of industry experience to the new office.

Surrounded by national parks and lush bushlands but still only a 15-minute drive to Brisbane CBD, The Gap offers locals the best of both worlds. There’s a diverse range of housing, from spacious family homes, large acreage, and charming mid-century builds to modern townhouses, which attract a mix of families, professionals and retirees, creating a vibrant neighbourhood with a strong sense of community. The team has seen a trend of the local market constantly setting new records in values, with recent reports showing a 15% increase in property values over the past year.

The move over to the Belle Property brand is something that James and Phil both see as a natural and exciting next step for their business. “I’ve long admired the Belle Property brand and their dedication to providing customers with a premium real estate experience and high level of service,” James said about the transition. “We truly understand the local market and pride ourselves on offering a highly personal service, and combined with Belle Property’s innovative technology, marketing opportunities and a broader reach, the brand really sets us apart from the rest.”

Phil shares James’ sentiment, saying, “We’re excited to be part of creating something new and fresh for The Gap. Belle Property is a modern brand that will give the local community an intriguing change while enabling us to stay true to our values and commitment to excellence.”

This latest opening in The Gap is part of Belle Property’s ongoing expansion plan around the country, with various offices opening in other fringing suburbs in the major cities, such as the recently opened Rouse Hill and Dural offices in Sydney and Mawson Lakes in Adelaide, to name a few.

Belle Property Head of State Queensland, David Holmes, commented on the new opening, “We’re thrilled to extend the nationwide expansion of Belle Property to Queensland and grow our presence in Brisbane, with the new office in leafy outer suburb of The Gap. I have full confidence in the team’s ability to deliver outstanding service to the community, drawing on their in-depth knowledge of the local market. We’re excited to see James and Phil introduce the trusted services and expertise of the Belle Property brand to the local community, further cementing our reputation as a trusted leader in real estate.”
