Since starting in 2007, and with well in excess of $250 million in settled sales, Foss has clearly demonstrated proof of all the traits required to be successful in real estate.
Consistently recognised with numerous regional and national awards including the Customer Service Award – as Foss says, “we sell houses but ultimately, we are in the people business”.
72% of his business is through repeat and referrals, proof of doing what he says, and doing it well.
Foss’s values are that his word and handshake are his code.

I want Christchurch to be known as a city where everyone can be housed and housed well.
