Geelong Real Estate: Whitford Property News 28th August 2026

This week, we’re continuing our look at some of the people behind Whitford, and this time it’s Peter Fort.

First up, something you might not know about Peter - he’s colour blind. Although somehow, despite that, he always manages to turn up looking pretty sharp. That said, I’d still think twice before asking him to choose the paint colours for your next renovation!

And another little-known fact, Peter tells us he was a two-time winner of the Heinz Baby Show Competition in the 70’s. A big claim, and one we’re still waiting to see some photographic evidence of.

Outside of real estate, Peter loves cooking, Bali and his dog, Louis. His love of cooking regularly makes its way into the office too. He’s usually the one out in the courtyard firing up the BBQ or putting the office air fryer to good use, whipping something up for the team. Needless to say, the team or I aren't complaining.

On the work side, Peter has decades of experience in real estate, and that experience is hard to replace. He’s seen just about every type of market and dealt with just about every situation that comes with buying and selling property. His knowledge of Geelong and the surrounding market has been built over many years, and he brings a calm approach to his clients without overcomplicating things. He knows how to read a situation, negotiate when it matters and, most importantly, get the job done. It’s that depth of experience, along with the way he deals with people, that makes Peter such a valued part of the Whitford team.
