About Rishi Maharaj

I am not new to real estate, having worked part-time in the industry from 2001 to 2019. I am incredibly excited to now be following my passion and my dream by making it my full-time career. I’m just as excited to be working from the Barfoot & Thompson Henderson office in West Auckland – an area I am very proud to call ‘home’.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Education and have served as a teacher for over 44 years, both overseas and for the last few decades at numerous Auckland schools.

A real ‘people person’, with strong negotiation and marketing skills, I have often been praised for my professionalism, can-do attitude, positive nature and my warm, caring demeanour. Throughout my career I have taken great pride in building a network of strong relationships and happy clients. After all, real estate isn’t just about property, it’s about people and families.

I know that buying or selling a home can be a daunting and sometimes complex process. For many it will be the biggest investment of their lives, so I will never take for granted the trust and faith my clients place in me. That is why it’s very important to me to take the time to sit down and fully understand my customers wants and needs, then fully explain all their options and the sales process. It’s this practice that ensures I am prepared to not just meet the desired outcomes for my clients, but allows me the opportunity to exceed their expectations – my personal goal for every interaction!

When not working I’m an extremely proud grandfather. I love nothing better than spending downtime with my family exploring all the breath-taking local amenities.

In this, my first year of full-time real estate, I’d like to say that I am in the process of “building a reputation, not relying on one”. You can be rest assured I will always go the extra mile for you. Please feel free to give me a call to discuss any real estate matters. I would love to be of service to you.

What my clients say

I had an amazing experience working with Rishi Maharaj while purchasing my first home. From the very beginning, Rishi was attentive, knowledgeable, and always went the extra mile to ensure I felt comfortable throughout the process. His expertise in the market, attention to detail, and patience in answering all my questions made the entire experience stress-free. He provided great advice, was always quick to respond, and genuinely cared about finding the right home for me. I couldn’t have asked for a better salesperson and would highly recommend Rishi to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!

The Best we could have expected. We found our salesperson, Rishi very respectful of our age. He kept us informed of the progress of the marketing of the property. The marketing produced a large variety of people interested in the property. We would recommend Rishi to anyone looking for a salesperson to sell their property.

Geoff & Elizabeth Kealey - Seller, 21 Aug 2024

Rishi's experience in real estate was obvious from our first appointment. He provided detailed reports on his appraisal without any bias towards the difficulty of the current market. He was fair to the property owners as well as being considerate towards the buyers.

Rishi provided weekly reports about the open homes and the response that we had from the online advertisement. He maintained a very positive attitude throughout the reports and verbal communications. He made sure that we heard what the purchaser's were saying.

Although our property was not sold at auction, Rishi assured us that it will be sold on the weekend following the auction. His honesty throughout the auction process was helpful to our family.

His advice during the negotiation was truely appreciated by our whole family when we went through the ups and downs of emotional uncertainty. Making important financial decisions during the sale of our property was easier knowing that we could trust a professional yet honest family man like Rishi.

Rishi made it possible for us to do the renovation by connecting us with the professional painters who renovated and painted our property. He guided us through our contact with List Now who offered to fund the renovation.

Communications with our lawyer and the purchaser's lawyer were made easier with Rishi's support.

I would recommend Rishi for anyone who is thinking about the selling of their property even when the market is difficult. Thank you so much Rishi.

Stress free sale
Rishi recently sold our house, and we were very pleased with the results. He is very knowledgeable, hardworking, respectful and cheerful and at no time did we feel pressure to accept an offer. We would highly recommend him if you were selling or buying a home. Thanks Rishi for a great result.

Reg & Maureen Cooke - Seller, 24 Jul 2024

Rishi was a great help to us in trying to sell our home. He was friendly, dedicated and knowledgeable about the market. He also had his finger on the pulse on things happening in our suburb and maintained a great rapport with neighbours and prospective buyers. Rishi always kept us informed and gave us a detailed run-down after our Open Homes and a realistic assessment of our selling situation. I can highly recommend Rishi as a real estate salesperson.

Venushka Perera - Vendor

Rishi helped us purchase a property in Henderson. We were extremely pleased with the level of local knowledge, help and professionalism he gave us. I would highly recommend Rishi for all your real estate needs and also, thanks to Tania Chapman for all her help. Very professional.

John & Jenn

Thank you Rishi for being our real estate salesperson. It has been a pleasure doing business with you. At no stage did we feel that we were being pressured into something we didn't feel comfortable with which was really reassuring, and very much appreciated. I also now have an appreciation of how hard salespeople work for their clients.

Chris & Nina Justice

"Very impressed, expectations were set and expectations met, constant updates during the process, would highly recommend dealing with this team."

Simon Justice

On behalf of my family, I want to thank you for all the support you have given us through the process of trying to buy our first investment property. Thank you for your genuine help and guidance. I don't know how people can do it without the help of people like you.

Thank you once again.
