About Luke
As one of the Top 50 Agents of Excellence nationwide with Realestate.co.nz for marketing excellence (ranked #37 to March 2025) and #6 in Sales Partnerships across Central Auckland to March 2022, I’m proud to deliver results my clients can trust. I believe outstanding real estate service is built on certainty, trust, and confidence. Selling a home is both a financial and emotional milestone, and my goal is to make the process stress-free, transparent, and rewarding from start to finish. While achieving a great price is always a priority, my real satisfaction comes from seeing the relief and happiness my clients feel when everything goes smoothly. I’ve called New Zealand home since 2000, completing my education in Christchurch before settling in Auckland in 2010. Fluent in English, Mandarin, and Shanghai dialect, I bridge cultures and connect clients with wider buyer networks through WeChat, Chinese social media, and local community engagement. My structured, detail-driven approach ensures every campaign is carefully planned and executed for optimal results. Before entering real estate, I developed a strong background in telecommunications, working with Spark, TelstraClear, and Vodafone. That experience honed my skills in communication, problem-solving, and negotiation—qualities I now bring to every property transaction. Clients describe me as approachable, reliable, and professional. I value honesty, continuous improvement, and long-term relationships. Outside of work, I’m family-focused, love playing sports with my kids, and stay active in my community as a school volunteer and apartment committee member. If you’re seeking clear advice, dedicated representation, and strong results, I’d love to help make your property goals a reality.

I believe, capturing a thorough understanding of my clients’ needs right at the start, is the beginning of a successful relationship that will realise optimal results. Always a top performer with over 16 years of experience, you can relax knowing you're in good hands. Clear communication and guidance from me ensures the buying or selling process is as smooth as possible. Prior to real estate, I enjoyed a career in advertising and became one of the top consultants with the NZ Herald’s Community publications. My passion for owning property and helping people with such important life decisions led me to a career in the industry. I chose to work for Barfoot & Thompson because they are the most trusted company in the market-place after more than 100 years. The company model allows any of their 1,800+ salespeople to introduce buyers and share information on any property that is listed. This increases the reach of a property marketing campaign and creates effective competition for a successful sale in the shortest possible time. I specialise in selling owner-occupier size apartments, penthouses and luxury homes in and around the Auckland city centre. I don’t restrict myself though and sell property on the North Shore (where I used to live) and many of Auckland’s surrounding suburbs as well. I currently live in the CBD, and as well as the fact that I can walk to work, there are so many benefits to city living. For me, an apartment is very secure and easy to maintain. My backyard is Albert Park and the Auckland Domain and I don’t have to mow any lawns! Cafes, restaurants, shops and events are on my doorstep. With so much investment taking place in and around the city from public spaces to transport options, the future is very exciting. Outside of work I love going to the gym, practising target archery at One Tree Hill, getting out in nature and cycling along the waterfront. I love to make a positive difference in the world and people's lives. Charities I support are the SPCA, St John Ambulance, the Red Cross, Salvation Army and of course, the Barfoot & Thompson’s five-star partnership with the Starship Foundation. My philosophy is ‘always doing what’s right by people’. If you're looking for a top performing salesperson to help you, then please get in touch with me today. I look forward to being of service.

Fantastic Agent and Excellent Service

We had such a wonderful experience working with Selina during the purchase of our property. From the very beginning, she was professional, friendly, approachable, and incredibly supportive. Selina was always available to answer our questions, kept us informed throughout the process, and made everything feel so much easier and less stressful. Her patience, communication, knowledge, and genuine care made a real difference to our experience. We are truly grateful to Selina for all her hard work and support in helping us secure our new property. We highly recommend Selina to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you so much, Selina, for making this such a positive and memorable experience!

So easy and professional to work with in every aspect from marketing to super quick sale!

Selina was so empathetic and helpful when dealing with my elderly fathers apartment sale. She knew the market well, and was professional and proficient in all aspects. We were expecting a 3-6 month period on the market, but she got an unconditional offer within 72 hours! It was totally unexpected, but so easy. I would recommend Selina to anyone looking to sell in the inner city market.
