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.

Professional, supportive team who went above and beyond to achieve an outstanding result

Professional, supportive team who went above and beyond to achieve an outstanding result

I recently sold my property with Holly Jones and Ricky Cave, assisted by Dominika, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and outcome. From the beginning, they put me completely at ease and genuinely cared about achieving the best result for me. Their market guidance was excellent, and throughout the process they were professional, proactive, and communicated clearly every step of the way. As the property was tenanted, there were additional complexities involved, but they handled everything seamlessly with both the property manager and the tenants. They truly went above and beyond to make the process smooth and stress-free. Most importantly, they achieved a sale price well above what I thought was possible in the current market, which I was thrilled with. I would thoroughly recommend Holly, Ricky, and Dominika to anyone looking for a hardworking, professional, and genuinely supportive real estate team.
