Acton | Belle Property expands into Albany new office opening

2 October 2025: Australia’s leading lifestyle real estate brand, Acton | Belle Property, has officially opened its newest office in Albany, Western Australia, marking the brand’s expansion into one of Australia’s most picturesque and rapidly growing regional markets. The office will be led by Director and Principal Chris Wallace, who holds over 10 years of experience in the industry and a longstanding connection to the region. The office is part of a Belle Property expansion into the WA market, with a recent opening in the Perth suburb of Mount Hawthorn and with more WA openings slated before the year’s end.

Having lived in Albany for most of his life, Chris understands firsthand the diverse appeal of the area and is eager to bring excellent real estate services to the community. He is driven by a commitment to providing a streamlined and authentic approach to the real estate experience for the people of Albany. He is a multiple REIWA Award winner and was recognised among the Top 100 Sales Performers nationally at his previous agency, a testament to his proven real estate expertise.

“My mission in opening my own real estate agency is to provide world-class service that is genuine and straightforward, with a focus on building lasting client relationships,” said Chris. “I’m thrilled to be doing that with Acton | Belle Property, as our values align perfectly, grounded in trust, honesty, and professionalism.”

Albany has become one of the most desirable regions in Western Australia, attracting families, professionals, and investors alike. Its stunning natural beauty, incredible coastline, and growing local amenities make it a hotspot for those seeking a quieter lifestyle with easy access to modern conveniences. With Albany’s property market continuing to rise, now is the perfect time for Acton | Belle Property to offer its renowned client-first approach to buyers and sellers.

“The Albany market is incredibly active, with strong growth in recent years and limited housing stock continuing to drive prices higher. Whether you’re searching for an affordable family home, a luxury coastal property, or something with unique character, we’re here to guide you through the process with confidence and ease,” Chris said.

Chris chose to partner with Acton | Belle Property because of the brand’s reputation for professionalism, its strong culture and the support network that comes with being part of a national, premium brand. “I wanted to bring something new to the Albany market, and I felt that Acton | Belle Property aligned perfectly with my values and ambitions. The team culture is incredible, and the level of support offered is second to none. The brand is not just about selling property, it’s about delivering a genuine experience that adds real value to our clients’ lives,” Chris said.

Commenting on the launch, Travis Coleman, Head of Belle Property Western Australia, said: "Chris has consistently delivered exceptional results and service, and his client-first, friendly approach is a welcome perspective for the industry. His leadership beautifully embodies Acton | Belle Property’s dedication to growth and excellence, and we’re excited to see the positive impact his team will have in this flourishing region, driven by those strong personal connections."

Chris Wallace and his team are now home at Acton | Belle Property Albany, servicing Albany and neighbouring areas.
