About Anna
Expert advice Professional service Negotiating skills Local knowledge One of the many things I enjoy about real estate is meeting people, buyers and sellers - everyone has their own story to tell and I get to see a very meaningful part of their lives. My career prior to real estate was in hotel management. Hotel managers interact with a wide range of people from diverse backgrounds and cultures, which is really similar to my role now, in real estate. It’s a people business, and that’s what I love most about it. I mainly work in the Eastern Beaches region of Auckland. It’s very cosmopolitan which means I get to enjoy a stunning environment, while also constantly learning and understanding different ways of life. My business partner Bob Adler and I have worked together for 17 years. A feature of our work is that we specialise in property improvements. This is to help our clients prepare their property for market adding extra appeal to attract more buyers. We have a maintenance trailer with all the tools that clients need – it comes with a ‘To Do List’ with photos and our recommendations. Combined with my interior design skills, it offers our clients that extra level of service. Another plus of our partnership is that I am Chinese, I speak Mandarin, and Bob comes from a European background – so we have wide appeal and can cross cultural borders as a team. The benefits of our partnership cannot be underestimated as our track record shows. Life outside of work for me is bringing up my two lovely boys with my husband Peizh. I make time when I can for skiing, travelling and yoga. To unwind, I like listening to music and I love to read. Like Barfoot & Thompson, I like to support organisations within my community too – the Red Cross, Salvation Army and St Johns Ambulance and the Cockle Bay Tennis Club, Lawn Bowling Club and the Huntington Park Community Board. Together with Bob, we’ve proven that our motto yields results “Do it once, do it right. There are no shortcuts.” Call me for a friendly chat. I’d love to hear from you.

She also has a personal policy of only actively marketing five properties at a time, to ensure each client receives sufficient attention. Bob and Anna are especially innovative when it comes to marketing strategies. They set a definite standard when it comes to open homes. They use flair and creativity to stage amazing open homes that maximise a property's appeal. As a result, they often receive an unusually high turnout to their open homes. And best of all, they employ all these extra touches with no extra costs to the client. Bob and Anna have a personal policy of actively marketing only ten houses at a time so their clients are guaranteed of their attention and of them adding an extra level of service to their sale.

Experts in Bulk Selling !

I cannot recommend Naresh Gulani and Aakar Vyas highly enough. As a developer, selling a multi-unit project in a tough market is no small feat, but Naresh and Aakar successfully sold all four of my brand-new homes at 7 Percival Street, Manurewa (7A,7B,7C,7D). They have been working tirelessly on this project since July last year, and their work ethic is second to none. Here is why they stand out: Relentless Persistency & Hard Work: They never gave up, even when the market threw challenges our way. Their drive to get the job done was evident from day one until the final settlement. Deep Area Knowledge: Their understanding of the Manurewa market is unmatched. They knew exactly how to position the property to attract the right audience. Masterful Buyer Psychology: They have an exceptional grasp of how to handle buyers, address their concerns, and guide them smoothly through the purchasing process. Flawless Communication & Relationship Building: Communication was transparent, frequent, and data-driven. More importantly, they excel at building genuine relationships—not just with me as the vendor, but with prospective buyers, establishing trust early on. A Strong Recommendation for Fellow Developers If you are a developer looking to move a project—especially if you are targeting bulk buyers—Naresh and Aakar are the team you need. They possess the specific skillset, strategic thinking, and network required to handle volume sales and complex buyer negotiations under pressure. Thank you, Naresh and Aakar, for your incredible support and for delivering a fantastic result!

Professional hardworking and focused Agent

I highly recommend Naresh Gulani to anyone looking for a professional, hardworking, and results-driven real estate agent. Naresh was instrumental in the successful sale of our 16A Huia Road, Papatoetoe development, comprising five townhouses, which sold in record time. Throughout the campaign, he consistently kept us informed with regular updates and constructive feedback, ensuring we always knew how the market was responding. What truly sets Naresh apart is his collaborative approach. He worked exceptionally well with other agents, welcomed buyer enquiries from all sources, and was always accommodating in arranging viewings. Unlike some agents who simply sit on a listing, Naresh genuinely put the vendor’s interests first and did everything possible to maximise exposure and secure the best outcome. His professionalism, communication, integrity, and commitment to achieving results were outstanding from start to finish. Thank you, Naresh, for your excellent service, dedication, and hard work. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell property. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars Capt. Ajay Kapoor

The value of working with true local experts.

Top South Auckland Agents - TEAM DNA. As a developer selling a project of five homes, choosing the right agent was very important for us. We initially listed with another well-known agent but didn’t see much buyer activity.After switching to this local team TEAM DNA, the difference was immediate. They brought a strong flow of buyers through the properties and clearly had a deep database of active local buyers. Their local knowledge, network and proactive approach gave us great confidence throughout the campaign. It really showed us the value of working with true local experts.We highly recommend TEAM DNA to anyone looking for agents who can deliver real results.

Good communication with clients

We cannot speak highly enough of Dev, Anju, and the wider Team DNA. Selling new builds requires a deep understanding of the market, which these agents proved they possess in spades. Once we switched to them, we noticed an immediate increase in qualified buyer flow. They found us buyers who were ready to move, making the sales process incredibly smooth. If you are looking for local experts who can get the job done, look no further.

Very hard work

As a developer, we have incredibly high standards for who represents our completed projects in South and East Auckland. After struggling to get traction with another firm, we partnered with Team DNA. Their localized database of active buyers was exactly what we needed to move our multi-unit project. Their team was professional, responsive, and fantastic at negotiating with purchasers. Highly recommended for any developer wanting to see their hard work actually cross the finish line.
