Chris is the agent you need when the rubber hits the road

From scooting along on his postie bike delivering property leaflets, to cruising the coastal hinterland in his classic Holden Monaro, Chris Smith has found his own lane in the world of real estate.

And it has been a road dotted with success for the experienced agent who has been a valued member of the Henzells team for over two years.

Chris is passionate about helping people achieve their goals. He brings more than 40 years of sales success to his role starting in the motoring industry before specialising in the property sector more than two decades ago, including running several agencies of his own.

Concentrating on residential sales across the 4551 postcode, Chris’s personable approach and a passion for getting the job done has resulted in a very long list of satisfied clients.

“I love getting out and meeting people and helping them get the results that they want,’’ he said.

One of the unique ways Chris interacts with the community is by doing letterbox runs on his old postie bike, ‘one of the last of the petrol ones’.

“Often times people will meet me at the letterbox and we will have a chat. It’s a good way to connect with people, say hello and see how they are going,’’ he said.

Outside of work he ups the horsepower, indulging in his love of 60s and 70s muscle cars.

Chris has restored a 71 GTS Monaro and is nearing completion on a ground up restoration on a 71 HG ute which has taken four and half years.

“I just need to fit the trims and it should be ready in a couple of weeks,’’ he said.

“I love the Monaro; it is such an Australian classic, and it still looks as good today. My wife and I enjoy going for drives through the hinterland on a nice sunny day, you get so many ‘thumbs-up’ from people, it’s great,’’ he said.

In his down time, Chris also enjoys switching off and exploring the outdoors in his full off-road caravan.

“Working in property is such a joy. I get a really good buzz out of helping people in the next step of their life’s journey, whether that be upsizing or downsizing,’’ he said.
