About Ricky
Ricky Cave has been with Ray White since 2008 and has sold close to $1 Billion dollars in Real Estate across all price ranges in NZ. He is now back in CHCH working alongside his partner, Holly Jones. Together, they sell right across Christchurch in all price ranges and have an international award-winning team. Team Holly Jones sells a house approximately every 32 hours and, together with Ricky, they have sold close to $2 billion in real estate. They bring with them a wealth of knowledge, and within their personal team they have every step of the process perfected to ensure the sale of your home is maximised to its full potential. They love what they do and want you to feel like you are receiving five-star service every step of the way. Ricky and the team are experts in marketing and can help you present your home in its best possible light. He brings with him his nationwide database, which helps attract the right buyers to your home, achieving a premium sales price. Ricky and the team provide constant communication throughout the process, and they are there to help guide you every step of the way through your real estate journey. With hundreds of reviews online, you can rest assured that you are selling your home to its full potential when you sell with us. Ricky got into real estate in 2008. 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. If you are wanting assistance with your property in Christchurch, Ricky would love to chat.

Outstanding result with excellent service

Outstanding result with excellent service

We've sold a number of houses with Holly, Ricky, Dominika, and their team over the years, and once again they delivered an excellent result. They're always easy to work with, communicate really well, and keep us updated throughout the entire process. This property sold within a week, before the auction, which was an even better result than we expected. The whole team is professional, hardworking, and genuinely committed to achieving the best outcome for their clients. We would love to work with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their property.

Excellent communication and support from start to finish!

Although we engaged with the team as a whole, Charlotte was our main contact and we absolutely could not fault her. Communication was amazing and her support was brilliant, often knowing what we needed before we did. Charlotte, and the wider team, went above and beyond to ensure our sale went as well as it could. Thank you!

Excellent communication throughout the process

Sydnee kept us informed at every stage. The marketing of our property was well executed, and we were impressed with the quality of the photos and overall presentation. The whole process felt smooth and well-managed, which made stressful time much easier. We would happily recommend Sydnee and team to anyone looking to sell their property and would not hesitate to use their services again in the future. Cheers 🍻

Great communication and Team Work

Great communication and Team Work

I can't believe how quickly this team sold our home! They communicated clearly via WhatsApp - something I wasn't very familiar with, but they made it easy, and it worked so well for us with more than one party involved. Sydnee presented a clear campaign to us. She then followed it through, and it worked - professional, quick and clean. She also went the extra mile to touch base and reassure me when she became aware I was stressed, something I really appreciate in a person. I would thoroughly recommend this team.
