Holly grew up in the world of real estate. Her parents have proudly owned the Ray White New Brighton business for 24 years, sparking her passion for the industry where her professionalism, enthusiasm and drive offer a refreshing approach. Holly has consistently been ranked the No.1 Agent Internationally for number of sales at Ray White from 2019 to the present — a testament to her work ethic, systems and commitment to her clients.

She holds two degrees in Marketing Management from the University of Otago, including a student exchange at the University of Manchester, and a degree in Psychology from the University of Canterbury. Through her studies and experience, Holly has developed a strong ability to strategically market and manage properties while understanding the psychological factors behind buying and selling. After graduating, Holly moved to London where she gained two years of experience in the competitive London property market, working for the largest real estate agency in the UK. There she learnt the art of negotiation and went on to become the top salesperson in her office working in Notting Hill, St John’s Wood, Mayfair and Hampstead. Now Holly thrives in the Christchurch market, where she has been honing her skills and team for the last 11 years. Dedicated to the area she calls home, she is here to help you navigate your property journey. Holly’s key focus is hard work, honesty and clear communication. She has built a unique business structure that enables her to expertly manage her clients, consistently delivering exceptional results.

In 2010, he won “Rookie of the Year” for Ray White nationally and, within a couple of years, was rising to the top of Ray White. However, the earthquakes happened and forced Ricky to move to Auckland to start over. He started at Ray White Remuera alongside Megan Jaffe and, within a few years, was one of the top Ray White salespeople internationally. He established himself in the high-end market, having the privilege of marketing many high-end homes across Auckland’s Eastern Suburbs. He frequently spoke at real estate conferences across Australia and NZ, including speaking at AREC in front of 5,000 agents, and also at a conference alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger. He then became a Director at Ray White Mission Bay for five years and created one of the best real estate offices in the country, winning the “Best Presented Real Estate Office” award at the Ray White National Awards. Ricky is absolutely loving being back in CHCH, working alongside his partner Holly Jones and the amazing team. Ricky and the team are currently #1 in Canterbury, #1 internationally for the past seven years for number of sales, and #1 in Ray White New Zealand currently. They successfully negotiated over 280 sales in 2025 and are currently ranked on RateMyAgent as one of the most highly reviewed agents. Ricky and Holly have both consistently been Ray White Chairman’s Elite Agents, which puts them in the top 1% of all Ray White real estate agents in the group, out of over 10,000 salespeople.
