Chris Gray 

Chris Gray is founder and CEO of Empire. He is one of Australia's leading independent property experts, hosting Your Property Empire on Sky News Business Channel, the Property Expert on Channel 9's MyHome TV and and Financial Judge on Channel 10s The Renovators. His independent position means that he has no barrow to push, so listeners get straightforward, unbiased answers to their issues.

Chris's first book sums him up nicely, 'mix of a lifestyle guru and a number cruncher who has used property to fund a living that gives him more choice and flexibility than most dream of'.

Chris' base knowledge comes from being a qualified accountant, mortgage broker and buyers agent, but more importantly from having personally invested in property from the age of 22 and having semi-retired from the age of 31. He is living proof that the Empire approach to property investment works and that the key to wealth is not how much you earn, but what you choose to do with it.

"Twice now Chris’s advice has saved me money or saved me time!"
