About Kris

Kris brings years of real estate experience to Mt Albert, backed by an impressive 12-year career as a professional footballer where he represented the All Whites on the international stage. This unique background has equipped him with discipline, dedication and a relentless work ethic that translates directly into exceptional results for his clients. With over a decade of personal experience buying and selling property before entering real estate professionally, Kris understands the market from both sides of the transaction. This hands-on knowledge, combined with his intimate understanding of the Auckland market, means he can guide vendors through every stage of the selling process with genuine expertise and insight. What truly sets Kris apart is his deep connection to the Mt Albert community. He doesn't just work in the area he also lives there with his wife Rachel and their two children, Hugo and Camilla. His children attend local schools and he's actively involved in local football clubs while also founding the Mt Albert Business Association to support local enterprises. Currently he's working on a $7 million community turf facility in Mt Roskill that will serve the area for generations. This level of community involvement gives him unparalleled local knowledge and a genuine investment in the area's success. Kris chose to align himself with Bayleys for their trusted reputation and comprehensive client service approach. Their values-driven philosophy matched his own commitment to honesty, transparency and putting clients first. He appreciates that every property and every vendor's situation is unique, and he thrives on tailoring his approach to meet different needs while maintaining the same high standard of service throughout. The competitive drive that fuelled his sporting success now benefits his real estate clients. Kris stays ahead through paying close attention to data, keeping current with local sales trends and property law changes, and following through relentlessly on client needs. He's a collaborative team player who works with other salespeople when it serves his vendors' best interests, always keeping his focus on achieving the optimal outcome. Clients working with Kris can expect someone who is humble, hardworking and honest - qualities that create trust throughout what can be a stressful process. He brings the same level of commitment to selling homes as he did to representing his country on the football pitch. For residents in Mt Albert and surrounds looking to sell, Kris offers not just real estate expertise but a proven track record of dedication, an insider's knowledge of the local market and a true focus on achieving the best possible result.

Strongly recommend to proceed with caution

We would not recommend using Kris Bright and advise others to proceed with caution. Our experience fell well short of basic expectations for professionalism, communication, and representation. It became increasingly clear throughout the process that Kris was not effectively representing our interests as vendors, and at times appeared to be advocating more strongly for buyers. This was particularly concerning when information about our position was shared with prospective buyers, which ultimately contributed to a very tight and unfavourable negotiation outcome. (This is further evidenced in the review shared by the buyer of our property). Communication was a consistent issue. We often had to follow up, repeat ourselves, and step in to resolve matters that should have been handled by the agent. Interactions at times were also unprofessional, including an instance where Kris raised his voice and spoke to us in a confrontational manner over the phone when we were seeking clarity. This was not acceptable, particularly given the stress of the process. From a delivery perspective, there were multiple avoidable errors. Marketing materials required several corrections (including incorrect photos being uploaded), timelines were poorly coordinated, and key details such as buyer qualification were not identified early. We ended up managing parts of the process ourselves to ensure things were completed properly. Overall, we expected a higher level of care, attention to detail, and alignment with our instructions. Instead, the experience added unnecessary stress and work at an already challenging time. Based on our experience, we strongly recommend being very cautious before engaging Kris Bright.

Great to deal with - went above and beyond

We recently bought a property from Kris. It was quite a tricky process due to factors outside of his control. He was fantastic to deal with throughout the entire process, going above and beyond our expectations. Thanks to his excellent communication and patience, everything got over the line. I’m confident that if this had been in the hands of most other agents, the sale would have fallen through. I cannot recommend Kris highly enough.

Always available, helpful, straightforward, and to communicate with

Kris was extremely helpful in terms of his market knowledge and with contacts who could help ensure our property was presented at its best. Kris has an easy manner but also speaks plainly when he feels it is necessary to do so. From the outset, we had every confidence that Kris would work hard and do his best for us. And so it turned out. Thanks, Kris.

Hardworking and effective

Kris was responsive from first contact right through to post sale. He went the extra mile at every opportunity and ultimately achieved a great result. He was incredibly patient and helpful, despite us complicating the sale process with a move offshore during settlement. We would happily recommend Kris to anyone buying or selling their home.

Professional Approach

Kris worked very hard to get the best possible price for our property. He communicated regularly and was very professional throughout the sale . I rate Kris as one of the best agents I’ve dealt with.

Fantastic agent with a real passion for the job!

Can’t rate Kris enough - he’s such an enthusiastic agent with a genuine interest in getting the best he can for you . This is my second sale with Kris and frankly I wouldn’t use anyone else ! His interest in the property and the story and maximisation of the whole package and a very strong on the floor presence at the open homes is great. His energy rubs off on everyone ! From my experience some agents just open doors and expect everyone else to do the rest… whereas an agent who makes sure everyone is fully informed is what I like ! Thanks.
