About Rain

Well known for his colourful identity as “The Rainmaker” Rain Diao joined Maguires One Team in early 2020. Rain has been getting results for his clients in the Auckland real estate marketplaces for over 6 years. In that time, he has been frequently acknowledged by vendors and buyers alike for his professionalism, sincerity and high-energy drive to succeed. Rain has a huge depth of knowledge and his area of focus is the Eastern Bays. Growing up in China in a property development family, Rain came to New Zealand as a teenager and is multilingual in English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Hakkanese – a useful skill when dealing with a diversity of clients. Rain has a BCA from Auckland University and after graduating worked for almost four years as a Chartered accountant for Fletcher Building Products in the Laminex Group. The gregarious Rain is passionate about his work and connects with people quickly, establishing rapport. This has engendered huge loyalty and trust with a high degree of repeat and referral business from those he deals with. His real estate career is punctuated with achievement and results borne out of excellent negotiating expertise, a courage to push the envelope in his marketing campaigns and a great love of people. His former work as an accountant also comes in handy when a real estate deal requires analytical skills and a focus on the details of process and compliance. With a young family, Rain loves being a Dad and involves himself in local community initiatives that enhance the residents’ lifestyle. He would welcome more time to play golf but his busy schedule with real estate and family makes this a challenge for now. If you’re looking to hire an optimistic, engaging, experienced agent then – make it Rain.

5 Stars Nadine

Nadine made the process of selling my house from the UK easy. I knew Nadine from years ago when she sold my neighbours house and trusted her knowledge of the local area, professionalism and sales record was what I needed in a tough market. She kept me up to date regularly, giving me everything I needed to make informed decisions. The transition from tenants leaving to the new owner taking possession was made so much easier with Nadine even offering to clean the oven they had forgotten. If I ever need to sell again in NZ, Nadine will be my first call.

Great communicator and friendly service

Thank you Rain for helping me sell and buy a house at the same time! Rain was very attentive and responsive to requests throughout the process. He was very patient and also had great communication skills. This made our selling and buying with same day settlement a much stress free and smoother experience. Rain is also very knowledgeable of the housing market and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a house.

Highly recommended

Selling a house is stressful but Nadine made the process so easy for me. The communication was outstanding, her local market knowledge excellent and she was a pleasure to deal with. Nadine also went above and beyond, for example organising quotes from tradespeople and even meeting them on site, in order to help me get the house ready for sale. She is highly professional and yet super friendly, and I would not hesitate to recommend her, and I intend to stay in touch with her myself.

Excellent - very professional, extensive knowledge and great communication

We had the pleasure of working with Kim to sell our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, she was incredibly friendly, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping us achieve the best outcome. She made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free, always keeping us well informed and offering honest, thoughtful advice along the way. Her communication was excellent, and we always felt supported and confident in her ability to manage everything behind the scenes. What stood out most was her warmth, patience, and positive attitude — she truly went above and beyond. We felt like more than just clients; she treated us with care and respect throughout the entire journey. We’re so grateful for all her hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home. Thank you again, Kim — you made this such a positive experience!
