Joining the industry in 2002, Chris has carved out an incredible track record of success. He has reached over $2.2 billion in total sales and for eight years has been named the No. 1 Bayleys Salesperson Nationwide. This result has been achieved through honesty, dedication, hard work and a relaxed yet highly professional approach.
Originally specialising in the lifestyle market, Chris received regular feedback from vendors in other areas of the market wanting the same style and service for their properties. As Chris’s business developed year in and year out, he began to build a team of like-minded people. Chris is currently supported by Nathan Collett, Sam Sidey, Sarah Eastmond and Bianca Davidson as his trusted sales team, Nick de Lautour as sales assistant, and Felicity Powell, Michele Holmes, Paris Holten and Anne Hunt managing the office and all administration. Together, the Chris Jones Team cover more ground with specialists in the lifestyle, residential and development markets and continue to achieve greater results for all clients across Canterbury.
Chris was awarded the overall residential salesperson of the year for the highest sales volume by REINZ for 2022/2023. In addition to this for the years 2016/2017 and 2017/2018, the Chris Jones Team have achieved the highest number of residential sales, throughout all salespeople and companies in New Zealand, as awarded by REINZ.
“Our style isn’t to shout it from the roof tops but we are New Zealand’s number one team, thanks to our amazing clients.”
A remarkable result for a refreshingly down-to-earth agent and team, and a vote of confidence for anyone wishing to sell property in Canterbury or beyond.
“Our repeat and referral clients make up a huge portion of our business. This is hugely satisfying as it means we must be doing okay!”
They were very easy to work with and nothing was a problem. Communication was always positive.
Both very professional at their craft. You know your in good hands which lets you get on with life
Very responsive, helpful, professional, and respectful. Made the process feel easy.
Chris and Sam presented a clear strategy, provided dedicated service, gave prompt feedback and delivered on the result we expected. Thanks!
As purchasers, Sam has been really helpful in coordinating things to suit both us and the vendors. He has also sorted out many things we needed to know about the property, beyond details in the property brochure and the S & P Agreement.
Sam delivered exceptional service throughout the entire purchasing process, he is very well organized and kept me updated throughout the entire time. I would recommend Sam Sidey to anyone who is looking at either buying or selling a house, they won't be disappointed.
Acheived the outcome desired. Handled all details and made the process seamless.
Quite easy to deal with. The transaction went ahead without disruption.
You listened and worked with me. Nothing was a problem. Thanks to all of you. Bev
We are very relieved to have the monumental task of selling our property behind us now. Considering our traumatic February we want to thank you Chris for encouraging us to go to market in November and not to delay until February. Looking at what could have been, we may still be at our lifestyle block. The relief of being in our smaller property has been the best space we could have been in. The whole process of selling was very manageable, even though everything was not quite finished. Thank you.
You listened!! was a very positive experience for us and delighted with the result.
Fabulous team who kept us up to and informed all the way through the process.
Always excellent communication and a successful sale
Sarah was great to work with, as a buyer. She answered all my queries quickly both before and after the sale. She's been highly professional at all times.
Chis and Sam did a great job marketing my property. They had a range buyers on their books who were interested in viewing, and worked successfully to create a competitive auction atmosphere
Timeliness of the team with detail into marketing campaign and following up to get to go live. Team managed the 2 bidding parties incredibly well on the day to get a great outcome for us. Overall, a great experience with a world class team.
The whole sales process was a seamless and professional experience, particularly well guided by Chris and his team.
