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.

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.

Chris and Jaime were fantastic throughout the entire process of selling my home. They were friendly, professional, and kept me informed every step of the way. I cannot thank them enough for going the extra mile and making the sale as smooth and stress-free as possible. I would highly recommend Chris and Jaime to anyone considering buying or selling a 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.
