Cristina Casares is a highly experienced real estate salesperson with a passion for helping people achieve their dreams. Cristina has a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of the diverse range of properties in the Greater Ponsonby area. She prides herself on the strong relationships she’s built with her clients, customers and the local community.

Working under the Bayleys brand, a locally-owned, family-run business with an outstanding track record and great reputation, Cristina takes pride in delivering top results for her clients. Her love of real estate goes beyond just the physical properties themselves - she believes that each property has its own unique story and charm, from old character villas and bungalows to architecturally-renovated houses and ultra-modern new-build homes with smart technology. She loves learning how her clients have transformed their homes to meet their style and needs and feels privileged to be part of such an important milestone when they make the decision to sell and move on to their next chapter in life.

Cristina lives in Grey Lynn and believes the Greater Ponsonby area is the best place to live in Auckland. With its diverse community, the vibrant, cosmopolitan area is highly sought after, with world-class eateries, bars and inspirational architecture.

In addition to her work, Cristina is deeply involved in charity projects and is proud to have been recognised for her community involvement, winning the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) Community Service Award – Individual in both 2018 and 2022. She is an avid supporter of numerous charities focused on supporting mental health and the environment. Cristina is also the founder of Alegria Charity, a foundation dedicated to empowering New Zealand's youth facing mental health challenges by providing access to transformative outdoor activities.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her children and two dogs. She starts her day with meditation and exercise and is passionate about being the best version of herself every single day. Cristina gets her adrenalin hit from windsurf foiling and has reached the New Zealand nationals in this sport. She’s a current silver team member with her mind set on reaching the gold team in 2024.

When clients choose Cristina as their real estate professional, they can expect more than just a top result - they can expect a genuine partner who is positive and passionate, who will be with them every step of the way, providing expert guidance, personalised attention throughout the campaign and specialist negotiation skills to achieve a premium sale price.
