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.

We felt listened to and supported throughout this process

Chris absolutely had our backs throughout this process. She was knowledgeable, savvy and guided us gently to a fantastic outcome. She always replied promptly to our many, many questions and kept our spirits up when we felt dispondant. Her local knowledge and professional experience gave us a sense of confidence right from the get go. Always prepared to go the extra mile to get you where you need to be we cannot recommend Chris highly enough.

An exceptional agent with a sharp understanding of the property market

This is the second time we have had Chris assist with the sale of a property. She guided us clearly and confidently every step of the way in our very short sale process. From the start, she recommended a clear and effective method of sale that perfectly suited our property and the market. Her expertise and local market knowledge made the process seamless, and her negotiation skills were exceptional - securing a fantastic deal in a remarkably short time. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and results-driven agent.
