Manu"s market knowledge, communication and professionalism are outstanding

My name is Luke, I’ve lived in Auckland for 23 years, purchasing multiple properties in Sandringham and Mt Eden, and have dealt with over 200 real estate agents in that time. No one has stood out like Manu Thapar. When we arrived early for the open home at 8/20 Fairview Road, Manu called to say he was two minutes away, greeted us personally at our car, and immediately made us feel welcome. Impeccably dressed and calm, he guided us through the property, explaining every detail clearly without pressure. Initially, the home was slightly above our budget, but Manu listened, asked the right questions, and encouraged us to consider how it could fit our goals. We submitted an offer, and although the first was declined, Manu’s composed, professional negotiation helped us reach a fair agreement for both parties. Throughout the conditional phase, Manu was consistently responsive, working seamlessly with colleague Jacqui Ding to ensure the process ran smoothly. His professionalism, warmth, and skill deepened our appreciation for the property and made the experience stress-free. As a friend who also bought through him said, “Manu is the most dedicated, calm, and skilled negotiator I’ve ever worked with.” I wholeheartedly agree. Thank you, Manu, for an outstanding job—well done.
