Whalan and Partners Ltd, Bayleys,Licensed under the REA Act 2008

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, Bianca Davidson, Sarah Eastmond and Sarah Eastmond’s sales associate Madison Gundry as his trusted sales team, and Felicity Powell, Michele Holmes, Rachel King 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!”

Chris, Sam and the team are incredibly organised, highly professional and trustworthy, they ensure all bases are covered. I would recommend them over any other agency. I would always use these guys to sell my properties, I love Sam’s approach He is personable, HONEST, and comes across as a genuinely nice person, he’s just the best agent I’ve ever come across. He’s unflappable, knowledgeable and doesn’t talk rubbish. It’s so refreshing. Chris is simply the master of lifestyle properties and just gets the job done, there’s no smoke and mirrors carry on that 99% of other land agents opt for, Chris is just there to achieve the best outcome for the seller while guiding and advising you along the way.

Both Chris and Sam were both very professional in their approach and gave us all of the information we required. Their promotions worked well with getting parties to open days and over a period of time they were successful in getting us two contracts on our property. Sam’s communication skills were invaluable in keeping us up-to-date with the progress of the contracts and once sold, with the next steps. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Bayleys to anyone thinking of selling their property.
