In nearly twenty years of selling residential real estate, Chris has successfully managed and sold everything from complex deceased estates and relationship property sales to properties with development potential.

The son of an Architect and honed by ‘a life less ordinary’ at 16 years old Chris helped set a record sailing from New Zealand to Fiji in 5 and a half days on a catamaran, and immersed in sailing, a few years later he represented NZ in the World One Ton Cup. Chris completed just one year at the School of Architecture before being captivated by the arrival of the first Round the World Race in Auckland. He joined as crew and went on to represent three different counties sailing more than 56,000 miles in seven legs of four consecutive races and he helped build five new Round the World Race yachts.

Chris utilised his design expertise and practical building skills to contribute to the construction of over 30 composite ocean racing yachts, including nearly every New Zealand America's Cup yacht leading up to the country's historic victory. He managed teams on several large projects and ran his own company building carbon fibre rudders. In 1996 Chris designed and built a modern 8-metre sailing yacht, “Depth Charge” and won ‘The Sailboat of Show’ at the Auckland Boat Show – awarded on a combination of design, manufacture, and presentation. In 2000, with one of his young crew and despite being the smallest boat in the fleet, he won the long race in the Short-Handed Barrier Tripple Series on line honours and on handicap.

This love of design and attention to detail informs his approach to real estate. Today, Chris lives with his son in a 1950s architect-designed home near Takapuna Beach. With his keen interest in photography and a Kodak award under his belt, Chris delivers stellar images to market his clients' properties, and renovating two homes has given him a sound understanding of transforming a home from ordinary to extraordinary.

With proven expertise in marketing and negotiation and an unfaltering focus on achieving his client’s objectives, Chris combines all the available resources to achieve spectacular results.
