Lodge Salesperson
About Chris Brearley
With more than 20 years’ experience across New Zealand real estate, I’ve had the opportunity to work at almost every level of the industry - from residential sales through to franchise development, compliance, regional management and senior leadership. That breadth of experience has shaped the way I lead today: with clarity, accountability and a strong focus on helping people perform at their best.
Before joining Lodge, I was Central Regional Manager for Harcourts, leading multi-office operations across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty. My role encompassed business planning, market share growth, team performance and brand standards across a significant regional network. Prior to that, I held senior compliance and leadership roles with Bayleys & Eves and Ray White, including serving as Company Licensee across five South Auckland offices and helping grow the Papakura office to 24th nationally within the Ray White network.
Earlier roles as Northern Regional Manager and Franchise Development Manager for Harcourts, along with franchise development experience at RE/MAX, gave me a strong understanding of what successful real estate businesses and high-performing teams need to thrive. I began my career where many great real estate careers do - working directly with buyers and sellers as a residential sales consultant.
As Branch Manager of Lodge City, my focus is on creating an environment where our salespeople can be confident, accountable and ambitious for their clients. Lodge’s strength of brand, depth of market knowledge and extensive Hamilton network provide an exceptional platform to do that.
I hold an Agents Licence (AREINZ), a Branch Manager Qualification and a National Certificate in Real Estate, and I’m proud to bring that experience to Lodge and the City team.
