Your local office.
Since opening our doors in 2016, Belle Property Canberra has grown into one of the region’s most trusted and values-driven real estate agencies. Led by Co-Principals Richard Davies and Dan McAlpine, brothers-in-law with a shared commitment to people and place, the business has evolved through almost a decade of consistent results, thoughtful service and genuine community connection.
At Belle Property Canberra, three values shape everything we do:
Integrity - We do what’s right, not what’s easy. No shortcuts. No compromises. Every client, every campaign, every decision is handled with transparency and honesty.
Care - Our clients, customers and team are at the heart of our business. We approach every interaction with empathy, diligence and respect, ensuring each person feels supported through every step of their property journey.
Family - We believe great outcomes come from great relationships. As a team that operates like family, we bring that same sense of connection and belonging to the people we work with, creating an environment where everyone is included in the day-to-day of the business.
With teams now operating across Canberra, Queanbeyan and the Snowy Mountains, we offer clients the strength of a unified network and the insight of deeply local expertise. Backed by Belle Property’s premium marketing, national reach with over 200+ offices and innovative approach, our sales and property management professionals deliver a standard of service defined by expertise and driven by results.
