Stone Real Estate has today announced the opening of Stone Cairns Beaches, marking a major milestone for the brand as Stone’s first office in Far North Queensland. Led by Principals Michael Oxford and Paul Blunt, the new office represents the next step in Stone’s national expansion, bringing the group’s premium service, marketing capability and collaborative culture to the Cairns Northern Beaches.
The move strengthens Stone’s Queensland presence, enhances referral opportunities, and supports the brand’s continued national growth, supported by Stone’s One Client Record database, connecting local Cairns listings with active buyers nationwide.
Luke Cameron, Head of Franchise at Stone Real Estate, said the launch reflects Stone’s focus on partnering with experienced operators who align with the brand’s service standards and culture and signals an exciting new chapter for the network in Queensland.
“Opening our first office in Far North Queensland is a significant step for Stone,” Luke Cameron said. “Michael and Paul are exactly the type of leaders we back, proven operators with a strong local reputation and the drive to build something exceptional. They are leading Stone’s next step in the region and we are proud to support them as they bring the Stone experience to Cairns Beaches.”
Stone Cairns Beaches will specialise in residential house and land sales across the Cairns Northern Beaches, delivering Stone’s client-first approach to local buyers and sellers.
Michael Oxford brings more than a decade of sales experience and a reputation for outstanding customer service, clear communication and confident negotiation. Known for his honest, friendly and positive approach, Michael is focused on building long-term relationships by working tirelessly for clients and providing candid advice throughout every stage of the process.
A Northern Beaches resident for more than a decade, Michael said his passion for the area is a key driver behind the business.
“The Cairns Northern Beaches are an incredible place to live, and I genuinely can’t see myself anywhere else,” Michael Oxford said. “I’m excited to bring Stone’s premium brand and proven approach to this market, while delivering the kind of service that makes the experience easier, clearer and more rewarding for our clients.”
Co-Principal Paul Blunt brings a diverse professional background and a relationship-led approach that has shaped his real estate career. After working across a wide range of roles, including breakfast radio announcing up and down Australia’s east coast, Paul obtained his real estate licence in 2009 and later established his own real estate business in Queensland.
“I’ve always been drawn to sales roles that allow you to build real relationships,” Paul Blunt said. “Buying and selling can be one of the most stressful experiences in a person’s life, and I love the challenge of reducing that stress while still delivering top-quality service. Trinity Beach is home for our family, and we’re proud to build something special here under the Stone brand.”
Stone Cairns Beaches is now open and operating, bringing Stone’s national network strength and refined client experience to Far North Queensland.
