The Virtus Estates Difference
Virtus Estates specialises in the sale of properties and businesses across North Queensland.
​
What sets us apart is the integration of strong business acumen with experienced real estate professionals, allowing us to provide practical, strategic advice grounded in real-world experience.
​
Our team has expertise across all property types, including commercial, residential, lifestyle, and semi-rural. We also bring hands-on experience from developing and managing Centaur Connection, a former professional equestrian centre in North Queensland’s wet tropics. This facility featured a premium undercover training arena for horse and rider development, a specialist horse breeding stud, and a working cattle stud.
​
Led by Practical Business Experience
Virtus Estates is led by Principal and Director Tracy Steinhardt, whose diverse career has included hands-on management across all operational areas of business including finance, administration, marketing, human resources, IT, contracts and legal compliance. This practical, ground-up experience enables a thorough, disciplined approach to each sale, with a focus on minimising risk and achieving results.
​
Business Sales Expertise
As a Business Broker with LINK Business Brokers, Australia’s largest and most trusted business brokerage, Tracy provides clients with expert business sales services. This affiliation allows access to a wide network of national and international buyers, along with best-practice systems and proven processes to maximise outcomes for medium to large businesses.
​
Experience in Lifestyle and Semi-Rural Property
Our understanding of lifestyle and rural properties is shaped by direct experience. Having owned, developed, and managed acreage in Far North Queensland, our Director understands the features that matter to buyers of horse, livestock and sustainable properties such as water licensing, security, fencing selection, bore water and pump installation, soil quality, drainage, pasture management and establishing properties off-the-grid. This benefits both sellers and buyers.
​
Business Acumen
Our strong experience in business operations and contract management allows us to position properties and businesses effectively in the market. We know what Buyers want.
​
Additionally, our strong grasp of legal and regulatory requirements, brings clarity and professionalism to every stage of the transaction.
​
Experience with Maturity
Selling your property or business requires a partner who offers sound judgement and a steady hand. Our approach is methodical, transparent, and tailored to your goals, built on integrity, clear communication and a commitment to delivering results.
​
Local Insight, Statewide Reach
Based in Cairns, Virtus Estates offers a deep understanding of the Far North Queensland region, backed by connections across the state. Whether you're selling a unique lifestyle property or a profitable business, we bring the insight, reach and professionalism needed to support your success.​

​
Located in one of Australia’s top tourist destinations, this high-profile commercial property offers a rare opportunity in the heart of the Cairns CBD.
The premises enjoys prime exposure in the bustling Esplanade precinct that benefits from high pedestrian traffic, particularly from cruise ship guests heading to nearby cafes and restaurants.

Outstanding Features:
* High foot traffic in the most popular Cairns Esplanade precinct
