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.

A First Home Buyers' Angel

A First Home Buyers' Angel

Ajay is exactly the kind of real estate agent you want to be dealing with from start to finish. Minutes after the listing came out, we had arranged a private viewing through his quick responses and seamless coordination skills. Being a local himself, he has a clear understanding of the area and knew exactly what made this property special, which coupled with his kind hospitality, made him very likeable and in turn, meant that communication was easy and stress-free. For every step along the way, he showed high enthusiasm, professionalism and care for two first home buyers wanting to lay down roots and start a family while also being very nervous and unfamiliar with the entirety of the buying process. Every question we had was answered swiftly and with integrity and we really felt like he was working both for us and the vendor to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome. I am certain that he is much the reason why we were successful in purchasing our dream first home and we would definitely recommend his services to other potential buyers or sellers looking for someone who genuinely cares and will always put their best foot forward. 11/10 would buy from again!

We decided on a marketing strategy to sell this house and we achieved our aim

From a casual acquaintance (we met in Totara Park while out walking our dogs) to a business partner in our joint goal of selling this house for the best price in this very competitive market. I chose to work with Ajay because he has a friendly, engaging personality. He lives my area and showed to me an in-depth knowledge of the market here. His strengths lie in his marketing background. We came up with a marketing plan, the main purpose being to get potential buyers to come and view the property with the view that to the right buyer it would sell itself. In this tough market we had approximately 16 people come to view the house thanks to the marketing plan we had prepared. This is the first house I have sold and I appreciate the commitment and encouragement from Ajay and especially achieving our goal.

Excellent agent

Melanie and her team are very strong and professional. What impressed me most is their ability to truly understand the quality and value of our homes, identify the right buyers, and clearly communicate what makes the property special. This is extremely important to us as a developer, and they have done an excellent job. I would highly recommend Melanie and her team.

Exceptional service from Dev & Team DNA Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience working with Team DNA during the purchase of our new home. Dev and Anju were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, especially with the communication and going back and forth with the vendor. They were always very calm, patient, and respectful, which made what could have been a stressful process feel much easier. We are very grateful for all the support and care we received from Team DNA and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy a new home. Highly recommend Dev and Team DNA!
