About Us

Peter Bushby commenced his current Real Estate Agency practice, Peter Bushby Real Estate in 1997 focusing on Launceston’s southern suburbs and this has expanded to covering the greater Launceston area with Roger Bell joining the practice. Whilst he still specialises in the Norwood area where his business is based. Together Peter and Roger offer a personalised service and as an integral part of the operational philosophy only handle a manageable number of properties at one time to ensure that the appropriate level of activity is directed to each property listed in their care. This business plan has proven a highly successful package with excellent sales results!

With the rapid advances in technology it has been possible to base the office at Peter’s home at 45 Benwerrin Crescent at Norwood and yet offer an effective, quality service to the public. They have several visual local property display boards the Norwood Post office and Old Brisbane Arcade that work well as a shop front.
