Kris Ivey

Energetic. Trustworthy. Dedicated.
These three words encapsulate Kris’s professional ethos—a career distinguished by business success, exceptional property sales and marketing expertise, and a steadfast commitment to delivering outstanding outcomes for his clients.

Kris is highly regarded for his ability to foster enduring client relationships, a cornerstone of his strong reputation in the property industry. Known for his approachable nature and ability to connect with people across all age groups, Kris combines genuine communication with strategic insight to consistently exceed expectations. Born and raised in the country town of Warwick, he brings with him an authentic work ethic, humility, and integrity that guide his professional approach.

Kris began his career in the property sales sector in 2009 and quickly established himself as a leader in Retirement and Seniors Living. With a focus on achieving premium sales outcomes while minimising unnecessary expenses, he has personally sold over $200 million worth of property across Southeast Queensland and the Darling Downs—whilst helping thousands of individuals downsize and transition into retirement communities.

Beyond sales, Kris has played an integral role in the conceptualisation, development, and successful delivery of numerous retirement communities across the region. He was part of the executive team that founded Seasons Aged Care, a pioneer of the retirement living with care model that expanded to multiple communities across Southeast Queensland. He was part of the executive team that founded Freedom Aged Care, which established several thriving communities in Toowoomba.

In 2014, Kris became co-owner of The Henley on Broadwater, a luxury lifestyle retirement resort that redefined expectations in the retirement living sector. Under his leadership, all 108 apartments were sold in record time, with demand leading to a significant waiting list.

In 2022, Kris sold his interest in The Henley to expand his impact and serve a broader range of clients. He joined forces with Danielle Runge who he has worked collectively with for over a decade to grow Luminise Trusted Care Group, a purpose-driven organisation where the mission goes well beyond just property.

Luminise is deeply committed to delivering compassionate, effective solutions grounded in integrity, expertise, and genuine care.

Kris continues to lead with purpose—driven by a passion for helping people live better lives with a strong sense of responsibility to his clients. Whether you’re selling your home, transitioning into Retirement Living, or seeking specialist housing solutions, you can trust Kris to deliver exceptional results with professionalism, empathy, and a proven, results-driven approach.
