Based in the Bayleys Howick office, Chris is strongly focused and achieving in the Top 5-10% of Bayleys’ salespeople nationwide. Over the last 28 years Chris has built a reputation based on strong family values and astute business practice.
Chris prides herself on maintaining a focus on her clients’ needs – first and foremost “it’s all about you” is her most important guiding principle as she works to maximise the value of what is likely your most valuable asset - your home.
Persistence and an unwavering dedication to her client’s needs is paramount to the repeat and referral business Chris receives – whether those referrals come from sellers or buyers. She has invested in a dedicated Personal Assistant, Laura. Her ties to our community are strong as she comes from a well-respected local Howick business family, bringing with her eight years' of real estate experience and her salesperson's license. She handles the day-to-day administration and advertising approvals, leaving Chris free to do what she does best: list, market, negotiate, sell and be there for you every step of the journey. A one-on-one experience.
Chris holds fast to her core values, and clients have often commented on her friendly and personal approach, common-sense expertise, sound knowledge and a commitment to do the job well. When offering suggestions for the presentation and preparation of your property for sale, she is both pragmatic and honest, always with the intention of maximising the outcome for you. Having built on the Peninsula and extensively renovated her previous home, Chris has the skills to see what a property can be: both sellers and buyers happily take advantage of this experience.
Having lived and worked in the Eastern beaches for over 35 years, while now residing in Beachlands, Chris’s local knowledge and community sense endures. Both of her children still live locally, so she maintains the generational family connection to our village neighbourhood.
What’s the secret to Chris’s success over the years? She would simply answer that it’s the trust and honesty at the foundation of her relationship with her clients.
If you’re looking for a salesperson who combines decades of practical experience with a friendly, common-sense approach, call Chris and see how she can help you achieve your real estate goals.
