About Chris

With over five decades of experience in high-end sales and a proven track record in business ownership, Chris Hingston brings a wealth of experience, commercial acumen and a genuine commitment to achieving outstanding results for his clients.

A skilled negotiator and natural communicator, Chris understands that successful real estate is about more than buying and selling property. It’s about understanding people, building trust and guiding clients through some of life’s most significant decisions with confidence and clarity.

Bayside isn’t just where Chris works, it’s home. Having grown up locally and attended St Bede’s College in Mentone, Chris has deep roots in the community. Today, his wife Elaine, their three children and grandchildren all live in the area. His knowledge of Bayside’s streets, schools, beaches and village shopping strips comes from a lifetime of living locally, giving his clients valuable insight that goes well beyond the property market.

As part of Team Hingston, Chris works alongside his son, Sales Director and Senior Auctioneer Michael Hingston. Together, they combine Chris’s experience and industry wisdom with Michael’s contemporary approach to marketing, auctioneering and campaign strategy. Their partnership brings together two generations of expertise, a shared understanding of the local market and an unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for every client.

Throughout his career, Chris has guided clients through some of life’s most challenging property decisions having navigated rising, falling and uncertain markets, he brings perspective, sound judgement and composure to every situation. When emotions are high and the stakes are significant, clients value Chris’s calm, considered approach and his ability to negotiate with confidence and purpose.

From the initial meeting through to settlement, Chris is focused on maximising value, minimising risk and making the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. A straight-talking professional, he believes in honest advice and clear communication. For Chris, success means delivering an exceptional result without unnecessary fuss and ensuring his clients feel informed, supported and confident every step of the way.

“I enjoy working with property because, for most people, it represents their most valuable asset. Being entrusted to help someone sell or buy their home is incredibly rewarding. I’m passionate about the entire sales process, and there’s nothing better than achieving a great result and knowing everyone involved is happy with the outcome and more importantly experience.”

Away from real estate, Chris is a keen car and motorbike enthusiast who follows all things motorsport, and is a passionate St Kilda Football Club supporter.  

Above all, Chris treasures time spent entertaining family and friends and making memories with his four grandchildren.
