Chris Gray – Australia’s most recognised property expert

Chris Gray is property host on Sky News Business Channel on Friday nights, was property expert on Channel Nine’s My Home TV, and provides opinion and commentary regularly in national media.

Chris is a qualified chartered accountant, buyers’ agent, mortgage broker and an investor since age 22. He is CEO of property portfolio company Empire, which searches, negotiates and renovates properties on behalf of time-poor professionals.

A former accountant, Chris Gray has turned $35,000 at age 22 into a property portfolio in excess of $10m. Chris will inspire you to set yourself a similar dream of freedom and choice through property and investing and to build a plan to achieve it, in less time.

He will explain how it really can be possible for you and will come up with ways you can overcome the reasons that have held you back in the past. He will use contrast and comparison in order to advise you on ways of maximising equity in your existing properties and tips on how to build a portfolio without funding them with your wages.

His topics also cover what to look for in an investment property, where to buy, why buying well is more important that shopping for the right home loan, why you can pay off a three-bedroom house faster than a one-bedroom unit, houses vs units, urban properties vs regional, and how to maximise equity in your existing properties.

No matter if you are buying property for the first time or want to build a whole portfolio, Chris can show how you can buy better properties for cheaper, in higher growth suburbs, while taking less risk.
