Clear Perspective. Real Results.

Most agents will tell you they're different. Craig Mills actually is. Before real estate, he spent 17 years in the funeral industry, starting as a Funeral Director and Embalmer, adding celebrancy, and eventually leading operations, before a further chapter in retirement village management. Craig spent nearly two decades sitting across from people in some of the hardest moments of their lives, earning trust not through charm or pressure, but through honesty, calm, and a steady hand. That's still how he works today.

Now based in Christchurch with Arizto Real Estate, Craig works with sellers and buyers across Christchurch and the Selwyn district. He'd rather give you the honest advice than the comfortable one, and he's more interested in you making the right call than in getting a listing signed. That thinking is backed by his studies in a Bachelor of Business majoring in Property.

Craig started his real estate career with two of New Zealand's largest franchise agencies, and it was a revealing experience. He saw how the traditional commission model works, who it's really designed to benefit, and where a client's interests can quietly take a back seat. Arizto's flat-fee model exists for exactly that reason. No percentage creep. No fees that grow with your sale price. Just clear, fair representation with your result as the only thing that matters.

Clear Perspective. Real Results. means that when you sit down with Craig, you get a straight answer, a clear plan, and an agent who measures success by your outcome, not his commission. Good advice shouldn't cost more because your home is worth more.

Outside of work, Craig enjoys exploring Christchurch with his husband Brad and their Hungarian Vizsla, Rudi, travelling when the opportunity arises, and spending quality time with family and friends. He's the kind of agent who answers his phone, tells you what he thinks, and earns trust the old-fashioned way.

Testimonials

Marchella Johnny Persico

"From the beginning to the end, Craig was professional, communicative, and genuinely supportive. Since we live in a different region, Craig went above and beyond—he even took the initiative to mow our lawns to ensure the property was always presented at its best. That level of care and commitment is rare and speaks volumes about the kind of agent he is. He guided us through every step of the process with confidence and clarity, making what could have been a stressful time feel smooth and well-handled. His attention to detail and dedication truly stood out, and thanks to his efforts, we achieved a fantastic result. Craig is not only a capable real estate agent, but someone who genuinely cares about his clients and their goals. We’re grateful for all his hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home."

Paul McNeill

"Craig and the team were excellent to deal with and made the sale process as vendor friendly as possible. I was not based in Christchurch during the sale and Craig went above and beyond expectations to the extent of personally mowing the lawns prior to the open homes to maximize the properties appeal to potential buyers. I highly recommend Craig and the Bayleys team to any other vendor selling their property."
