Chris Kavanagh
An award-winning auctioneer with twenty years in real estate, selling homes across Melbourne's bayside, from Mentone and Mordialloc down through Aspendale, Edithvale, Chelsea and Bonbeach.
Calm, considered, and on your side of the table.
Chris Kavanagh is widely respected across Bayside for the depth of his market knowledge and the calm, considered way he applies it.
Twenty years in the industry have made Chris a fully licensed estate agent and an award-winning auctioneer, named Auctioneer of the Year within Victoria's most successful real estate group in 2014, 2018 and 2019. He also studied Marketing at La Trobe University, and that training shows in how carefully each campaign is built.
What sets Chris apart is how he listens. He takes the time to understand what a client is actually trying to achieve before offering a view on how to get there, and that patience has produced a long record of results that regularly exceed expectations.
His read on the market is trusted well beyond his own client base. Chris is regularly asked to comment on market conditions for The Age, the Herald Sun and 3AW.

Tom O'Reilly
Tom has called Bayside home since arriving in Australia in 2019 and lives locally in Mordialloc, close enough to the beaches, the cafés and the community to know the area as a resident rather than just an agent.
A long-held interest in design and architecture drew Tom into real estate, but it's the people that keep him there. Saturdays are his favourite part of the week: opening bayside homes, talking with the community and connecting buyers with the right property.
Four offices. One sales team.
Four prominent locations and Bayside's hardest working sales team mean more buyers for your property, backed by the full strength of the Barry Plant network.
