About Chris
Born and bred in Scotland, Chris O’Donoghue grew up on a beef farm, where she learned the values of resilience, determination, and the rewards of hard work. Those foundations have stayed with her throughout life, shaping the way she approaches both challenges and opportunities. With a background in hospitality, Chris developed strong people skills, knowing how to make others feel comfortable, understood, and supported. These qualities have become the heart of her real estate career, helping her build lasting relationships and guide clients through one of life’s biggest decisions with ease and confidence. Chris and her husband emigrated from the UK to Rotorua in 2006, where they raised their four sons and became deeply connected with the community. Having built a life here herself, she understands that real estate is about much more than property - it’s about finding a place to belong. Down to earth and approachable, Chris is dedicated to working hard for her clients while ensuring their journey is as smooth and stress-free as possible. Outside of real estate, she enjoys time with her family and being part of the Rotorua community, where she proudly calls home.

From buying our home to selling it, we couldn’t have asked for a better agent!

From buying our home to selling it, we couldn’t have asked for a better agent!

We’ve had the pleasure of having Chris help us both purchase and sell our home, and we couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent! Chris is incredibly professional, kind, and amazing at communicating. She’s always on top of everything, gets things done ahead of deadlines, and goes above and beyond to make the whole process as smooth as possible. When it came time to sell our home, there was no one else we wanted. Chris helped us buy it four years ago, and we knew how proud she would be to see how much we’ve achieved as a young couple and how much love, time, and hard work we’ve put into our home since then. It meant so much to have her be part of both chapters of our journey. Thank you, Chris, from the bottom of our hearts, for being such an amazing real estate agent and for genuinely caring about us and our home. We couldn’t recommend you highly enough! We hope that when the time comes to buy or sell again, you and Jaime will be right there with us. You’ll always be our favourite real estate agent! ❤️

Went the extra mile to get our property sold

Went the extra mile to get our property sold

Hamish did a great job helping us to sell our house. He gave us good advice on how to present the property and simple things to improve it. We were living in the south island and Hamish was really helpful working with the tradies to get things sorted. He gave us good advice on the value of the property and the best way to market it and how to react to feedback from interested purchasers. He also professionally helped us out with queries from the purchasers and working through the sales process. Very highly rated. Wouldn't hesitate to use Hamish again.

Goes above and beyond to make the journey seamless and stress free.

Buying our home with Chris was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Her clear, constant communication ensured we were never left in the dark, and her plain-English explanations made every step of the contract process easy to navigate. When it came time to write an offer, her sharp negotiation skills proved invaluable in securing a fantastic deal for us, and her unwavering professionalism, composure, and integrity throughout the entire process made what could have been a stressful experience completely seamless.
