Top Medium Property Management Office, South Auckland Region, 6 months ending September 2024
Top Small Property Management Office, South Auckland Region, to end March 2023
I've always had a passion for real estate. I bought my first property at age 22 and renovated it throughout, designing a new kitchen and bathroom and giving it a fresh coat of paint. My speciality is rentals; being a landlord myself, and having been a tenant for some of my life, gives me a valuable perspective.
I joined Barfoot & Thompson in 2017 as a Property Manager and in 2023, I was promoted to Head of Property Management at the Manukau branch. Barfoot & Thompson has an excellent reputation in the property management sector which is what attracted me in the first place.
Prior to real estate, I worked in banking and finance. I learned the value of excellent communication and organisation, time management, multitasking, listening carefully, and developing the ability to act quickly when required – all essential in my property management roles. I also have hospitality training.
What I love most about Manukau is the cultural make up, and the different types of infrastructure; it has commercial, industrial and residential buildings, and it's always changing.
My philosophy is to treat people how I like to be treated. My proudest moments as a realtor are when I receive compliments from Barfoot & Thompson customers.
