Craig Mills. Not your run-of-the-mill.
Most agents will tell you they're different. Craig Mills actually is.
Before real estate, Craig spent 20+ years in careers most people don't expect. Funeral directing, embalming, celebrancy, and eventually leading operations, followed by a further chapter in retirement village management. Two decades of sitting across from people in some of the hardest moments of their lives, earning trust not through charm or pressure, but through honesty, calm, and a steady hand.
That's still how he works today.
Now based in Christchurch with Arizto, Craig works with sellers and buyers across Christchurch and the Selwyn district. He'd rather give you the honest advice than the comfortable one, and he's more interested in you making the right decision than in getting a listing signed. That thinking is backed by his studies toward a Bachelor of Business majoring in Property at Massey University.
Craig learned the traditional commission model from the inside. He understands how it works, who it's designed to benefit, and where a client's interests can quietly take a back seat. That clarity is why he moved to Arizto. Flat fee, $12,500 + $650 admin + GST. No percentage commission. No fees that grow with your sale price. Just clear, fair representation with your result as the only thing that matters.
Clear Perspective. Real Results. means a straight answer, a clear plan, and an agent who measures success by your outcome, not his commission. Good advice shouldn't cost more because your home is worth more.
Outside of work, Craig enjoys exploring Christchurch with his husband Brad and their Hungarian Vizsla, Rudi, travelling when the opportunity arises, and spending time with family and friends. He answers his phone, tells you what he thinks, and earns trust the old-fashioned way.
Craig Mills. Not your run-of-the-mill.
