Peter Starr

Born and raised in the Eastern Suburbs, I started school at Baret Burn (KRB junior school), then Cranbrook, and off to Joeys for six years of boarding school. The time of my life! I still live in the East and think it's the best part of Sydney hands down.

My real estate life as a Commercial Agent, moving into residential in 1991 with an “old school” firm, Martin and Punch at Edgecliff, and I have been doing residential and commercial sales and leasing ever since. I love the variety the combination brings: different properties, different strategies, plus the resulting mix of institutional and high net wealth clients.

I recently went into business with my great friend Alain Waitsman in 2020 starting Belle Property Double Bay. We have built a team of awesome professionals around us that we delight in seeing grow and progress in their chosen careers. I’ve learnt that you can't do everything on your own, and having a team of enthusiastic, passionate and young people around us makes coming to work a pleasure.

I love my golf, played polo for a few years, and feel grateful to have a career that allows me enough time to do just enough of both. Throw in 6 kids and 7 days fill up very quickly!
Professionally I believe I have been blessed with the people and property I get to work with. I was entrusted to sell the suburb of Millers Point for the NSW Government, sales and advisory rolls for the NSW Trustee & Guardian, Permanent Trustees, St. Vincent’s Hospital, NSW Police, and other institutions.

I absolutely love what I do and have no intention of retiring. Talking to people all day, helping them transition in to one of the most important and stressful decisions of their life. What a job!
