Peter Illingworth

Real estate has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started my career working in the family business in my late teens, learning the industry from the ground up which naturally lead to me founding Worth Real Estate in 2011.

Over these years I’ve worked across both sales and property management, which has given me a broad understanding of property ownership and the different challenges clients face at various stages of the journey. Today, as Principal Licensee, I remain actively involved in the business and work closely with our team to ensure the standards we set are reflected in the service our clients receive.

Being a long-time Brisbane North local has given me a strong understanding of the area, the people, and the property market. Whether I’m helping a homeowner prepare a property for sale, advising an investor, or supporting our property management team, my focus is always on providing practical advice backed by experience.

I value clear communication, strong preparation, and doing the fundamentals well. Real estate can be complex, but most situations become much easier when expectations are clear and people follow through on what they’ve said they’ll do.

Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my kids, out on the water, training in martial arts, or getting flogged on the squash court by Brae who is considerably more athletic than me (and who also wrote this bio for me). I also have a habit of collecting more toys than I probably need, so weekends often involve fixing, riding, towing, or tinkering with something.
