About Chris
Chris Southern is a trusted Sunshine Coast real estate professional known for delivering strong results across coastal apartments, family homes, and residential developments within tightly held beachside pockets. With a growing list of street and building records and a high rate of repeat clients, he has established himself as an agent people return to and confidently recommend.
Born and raised on the Sunshine Coast, he comes from a family with deep roots in the local building and real estate industry. This foundation provides a practical understanding of construction, property value, and market conditions, allowing advice to be delivered with clarity and confidence rather than guesswork.
With a building background and hands-on development experience, he has successfully acquired, designed, and helped deliver a range of residential projects, including duplexes, townhouses, and unit developments. Clients benefit from a strategic approach that spans land acquisition and feasibility through to market positioning and successful sell-out.
A modern edge in property marketing comes from a background in Media & Screen and professional live-event production, including work across some of Australia’s largest events. Campaigns are built around attention, storytelling, and strategic exposure, designed to create buyer demand and drive competition.
As a certified carpenter by trade, practical and honest guidance is provided on presentation and value-adding opportunities, helping sellers maximise appeal without overcapitalising.
Recognised within the top 2% of Century 21 agents internationally, he is known not only for performance, but for integrity. Clients value straight-talking communication, transparency, and a commitment to doing what’s right at every stage of the process.
At the core of his approach is a people-first philosophy. The best outcomes come from trust, strategy, and genuine care, ensuring the experience is seamless, informed, and rewarding from start to finish.
