Ben Harris brings a wealth of experience and a dynamic approach to Bayleys Canterbury, combining his passion for people, an unshakable commitment to excellence, with a proven track record in high-level leadership and negotiation.

Ben has had a varied career spanning high performance cricket coaching at Canterbury Cricket to general and regional manager roles across some of New Zealand’s most well-known media brands. These roles have honed his ability to connect with people during pivotal moments in their lives. After an initial three-year stint at Bayleys, between 2016 to 2019, as a successful residential agent and auctioneer, Ben now returns to Bayleys. This return stems from a deep appreciation of the personal journeys that define real estate - helping clients navigate significant milestones with care, professionalism, and a little bit of fun along the way.

A proud Cantabrian, Ben has lived across the region - from Tai Tapu to the heart of the city - giving him unparalleled insight into the distinct character of Canterbury’s communities. Whether working with vendors or purchasers, his local knowledge, combined with a strong competitive mindset and genuine empathy, ensures every transaction is smooth, rewarding, and stress-free.

Ben’s connection to his community runs deep. From organising charity auctions and school sporting fundraisers to coaching cricket across all age grades, he thrives on giving back. Being part of the respected Harris cricketing family legacy, he strongly values teamwork, perseverance, and good old fashioned hard work, qualities that also guide his approach in real estate.

For Ben, real estate isn’t just about buying and selling houses; it’s about people, their stories, and the trust placed in him to guide them through some of life’s most exciting transitions.
