About Chris
Chris Forde is an experienced Tewantin real estate agent based at Laguna Real Estate, helping property owners throughout Tewantin and the wider Noosa region achieve the best possible result from their sale.
With more than 35 years of hands-on property experience, Chris brings a depth of knowledge that extends well beyond residential sales. His background includes property construction, development, investment and real estate, giving him a practical understanding of how homes are built, presented, marketed and negotiated.
This experience enables Chris to recognise a property’s strengths, anticipate potential challenges and develop a clear selling strategy suited to the home, the current market and the owner’s individual circumstances.
While particularly active in Tewantin, Chris sells throughout Noosaville, Cooroibah, Cooroy, Eumundi, Sunrise Beach and surrounding areas of the Noosa region.
His broader local knowledge is valuable because buyers considering Tewantin are often comparing properties across several nearby suburbs. Chris combines experienced personal judgement with modern digital and AI-assisted marketing.
Every campaign is carefully considered from preparing and positioning the property, to photography, advertising, buyer targeting and follow-up. Technology is used where it can improve presentation, extend buyer reach and strengthen communication, while the strategy, advice and negotiation remain personally managed by Chris.
Known for his honesty, straightforward advice and calm approach, Chris takes the time to understand what matters to each client. He believes successful real estate is built on careful preparation, clear communication, strong negotiation and keeping owners properly informed from the initial appraisal through to settlement.
Chris also maintains an active database of local, interstate and relocating buyers. This allows him to introduce suitable purchasers to properties both on and off the market and create opportunities that advertising alone may not uncover.
Whether you are considering selling a property in Tewantin or the wider Noosa region, would like an accurate property appraisal or simply want informed advice about the Noosa property market, Chris offers proven property experience, modern marketing along with genuinely personal service.

Cindi - Vendor in Tewantin
Chris was absolutely fabulous throughout the entire journey of selling my property. This sale was not straight forward with many "hiccoughs" along the way and Chris's problem solving ability was outstanding. I am so appreciative of both the achieved sale price, managing the many unexpected obstacles and his professionalism. I do not hesitate to recommend Chris and The Laguna Team and would definitely use their services again . Thank you

Buyer's Agent, Home in Noosaville
Chris Forde achieved a sale immediately and then managed the relationships with the buyer, the buyer's agent and the tenants extremely well when the settlement had to be delayed due to a need for us to complete some repair work at the property. Chris kept everyone informed and confident in the process.

I had the pleasure of working with Chris from Laguna Real Estate, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From our first interaction, Chris was honest, genuine, and incredibly easy to communicate with. What stood out the most was how trustworthy he felt — I always felt confident relying on his knowledge of the area and the local market. He was patient, and professional throughout the entire process. Chris is a great agent & someone I would absolutely recommend.
Sonia W, Buyer, House in Tewantin.
A really excellent agent! From my very first contact with Chris I felt at ease and confident that everything would run smoothly which did indeed turn out to be the case. I have sold a few properties but Chris would have to be the stand out agent. He was very thorough, knowledgeable and kept me abreast of all the developments during the sales process. Most importantly he stopped me from making a huge error with the sale of our property through his market knowledge and experience as an agent and as a result we made a few renovations to the house which substantially improved the appearance and as a result we received a much higher price for our property. I would highly recommend Chris as your next agent and in addition he is a very personable and pleasant person to deal with.

Totally professional and helpful. If you’re looking for an agent who works hard for you to achieve the best price, is highly motivated and communicates well, give Chris a call, you won’t be disappointed. I found him to be authentic, honest and straightforward. Pleasure to deal with and I’ll use him again.

From our initial inquiry to the settlement of our property, Chris has kept us up to date every step of the way with reports and calls.
