Peter Stone, the founding Managing Director and Senior Principal of Real Estate of Distinction, has a wide-ranging commercial background. He has worked in Australia and overseas for over 25 years in international marketing and trade. In fact, almost his entire business career has been devoted to marketing. Peters skills in the real estate industry have developed through 10 years of hands-on experience, with ongoing sales and marketing training, education and research. He established Real Estate of Distinction with the intention of providing prestige owners on the North coast of Australia with a boutique real estate agency giving both personal and distinctive service.

Peter's knowledge of the east coast of Australia is excellent. He takes pride in the manner in which he deals with his clients and this is evidenced by the number of repeat clients he attracts. Peter has sold more million dollar properties on the Mid-North coast and its hinterland areas than almost every other agent, bar one.

In a community where so many clients are notable personalities or business leaders, confidentiality becomes an important issue. Unfortunately, in the real estate business, many agents have begun to trade on the notoriety and fame of their clientele. Peter knows that one of the most important reasons his clients have chosen to work with him is that he practises strict confidentiality when it comes to the private investments of his clients. Experience has shown Peter how to help his clients retain their confidentiality with their real estate dealings.

Real Estate of Distinction has been welcomed as a member of Whos Who in Luxury Real Estate in the United States of America, an international compendium of over 1,800 luxury brokers internationally. Peter is also a certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist, a member of the Institute of Luxury Home Marketing and a member of the Million Dollar Guild. These powerful affiliations offer his clientele national and international marketing leverage that is recognised throughout the industry. It is also another reason it distinguishes his service compared to the competition!

Real estate is one of those interesting professions where it costs no more for you to be represented by the best. Whether you are working with a virtual beginner in the field or an experienced veteran, the real estate commissions are the same, but your satisfaction and success in the process may be quite different. In the fast-paced market of today, having an experienced agent with extensive resources and marketing contacts has become more important. It costs no more to be represented by the best!

In short, Peter Stone through his company, Real Estate of Distinction, has never strayed from his guiding principle: To create ongoing special relationships based on trust and memorable service. Peters continued superior performance, effective marketing and extensive local knowledge have established him as the authority in his chosen field in his chosen estate market.

After working in and around Sydney for many years, in 2000 Kim Bates moved to the beautiful Bellinger Valley. He commenced his career in real estate as a property manager and later as a real estate sales person with a large real estate agency.

Kim obtained his full Real Estate Agents Licence and joined the team at Real Estate of Distinction early in 2008. He has acted successfully as the Principal and Licensee of the Bellingen agency since then.

Kim is in the centre of the action in Bellingen. His honest, friendly and laidback approach has set him apart from the high pressure image that the real estate industry currently has. Kims success is not judged by the number of listings or sales he achieves, or the amount of commission he earns. He measures his success by the number of people who refer their friends for advice about the biggest investment of their lifetime. Kim cant walk one block in the main street of Bellingen without being stopped by a local for a chat.

Kims attitude to life and real estate are identical: Whether you are buying or selling your residence, it should be a happy experience. If however it doesnt feel right and enjoyable, then its not the time to do it!
