About Jack
Clarity Over Hype For me, real estate is about turning uncertainty into a clear plan. With nearly a decade of Auckland real estate experience and more than 20 years living and working in New Zealand, I bring market knowledge, sound judgement and a calm, considered approach to every sale. My philosophy is simple: clarity over hype, preparation over pressure and relationships over transactions. I believe clients deserve honest advice, clear communication and a strategy shaped around their goals, with support that continues beyond settlement. Before real estate sales, my career included hospitality and tourism and real estate development. I also hold a Master of Business Studies from Auckland University of Technology and studied marketing at the University of Waikato. This background has strengthened my understanding of people, marketing and negotiation. Onehunga particularly appeals to me for its distinctive mix of heritage, convenience and community. Its established families, cultural diversity and enterprising newcomers reflect much of my own journey in New Zealand. I want to contribute to this community, not simply sell within it. I speak English, Mandarin and Yunnanese, allowing me to connect with a wide range of clients. I have also supported the Child Cancer Foundation and New Zealand Red Cross. Outside work, I am a proud husband and father to a young daughter. Family keeps me grounded and reminds me that a home is much more than a property. You do not need to be ready to buy or sell to speak with me. Sometimes the most useful conversation happens well before a decision is made. _ _ _ _ _ "We can confidently say that Jack is absolute stars in the regard. He was effective communicator. Comparing is never healthy but this is hard not to do when we have also worked with less than adequate agents who do not know how to adapt the way they communicate depending on the client and their personalities. The contrast is as stark as night and day especially after having worked with Jack Su. --Sally Be ” “Jack has been excellent in selling our property. He has demonstrated the high level professionalism that is expected of top agents. Throughout the time that our property was on the market, Jack was consistently positive and responsive to buyers and also to us as vendors. As hardworking listing agent, he has always acted in the best interest of the vendor to achieve the best results. We are always kept in the loop of all that is happening during the sale. Jack can be trusted to deliver on what he has promised. We would highly recommend him to be your agents if you are thinking of selling. -- Grace & Louis Ng” “I had the pleasure of dealing with Jack as the vendor of a newly built home in Henderson. I found him to be a competent, personable, and effective salesperson. I would definitely use his services again if the occasion arose.” --Jim Weir “I want to share how much I enjoyed working with Jack when selling a property recently. He displayed a great deal of energy and drive, all of which helped get the property sold with the minimum of delay. If you are looking for an agent who will work hard for your interests, you need to look no further than Jack Su.” --Shane Miller

About Paresh
With 17 years in real estate, I bring extensive experience and practical insight to every property journey. Based at Barfoot & Thompson Onehunga, I work with first home buyers, families, investors, landlords and vendors preparing to sell. Every client and property is different, so I take time to listen, understand your goals and provide clear, honest advice. Whether you are buying, selling or navigating a more complex transaction, my focus is on making the process feel clear and as stress-free as possible. Strong results come from preparation, communication, negotiation and follow through. With a keen eye for detail, I help clients present their property well, manage buyer enquiry and negotiate with confidence. I am calm under pressure, practical when challenges arise, and committed to keeping clients updated every step of the way. I am very much customer-focused and take pride in being approachable, reliable and easy to talk to; with a service style built on trust, care and practical support. Many clients come to me through referrals or return years later, and I value that greatly. For me, real estate is more than a transaction; it is about offering steady guidance and a service that gives clients confidence. I am also supported by a dedicated associate, giving clients extra communication, organisation and care throughout the buying and selling process. Having lived and worked in Auckland for many years, I have built strong local relationships, community connections and a broad network across the wider market. Outside of work I enjoy cricket, a passion I share with my two sons. I am fluent in English, Gujarati and Hindi, and can assist clients who value specialist language support. My clients frequently praise my clear communication, honesty, patience and commitment to achieving the best possible result. If you are looking for a real estate professional who will guide you with care, work hard on your behalf and go above and beyond to make the process feel easier, I would be delighted to hear from you.

About Bruce
Bruce grew up in South Epsom as part of a large family affectionately referred to as “the Manning Mob”, with all attending Royal Oak Primary School. After completing his education at Auckland Grammar, Bruce embarked on a varied and adventurous career - from working as a lift operator on Mt Ruapehu to spending time aboard American tuna boats. Alongside these experiences, he also achieved two degrees: a Bachelor of Science from the University of Otago, followed by a Master of Science in Marine Biology from the University of Auckland. Bruce then joined the very first intake of MAF Fisheries Observers, spending extended periods at sea gathering independent data on catch volumes and species across both international and local vessels within New Zealand’s 200-mile exclusive economic zone. While life at sea was certainly unique, it eventually led Bruce to pursue a land-based career - and real estate became the natural next step. Now approaching 40 years in the industry, Bruce brings an exceptional depth of experience. Having worked as a salesperson, branch manager, and franchise owner, there are very few situations he hasn’t encountered, and successfully navigated, before. Over that time, he has experienced a number of real estate cycles, giving him a balanced perspective and the ability to offer calm, considered advice in changing markets. He has personally sold around 60 homes in Mangere Bridge, approximately 150 across Onehunga and One Tree Hill, and many more throughout Auckland - from Papatoetoe to Parnell. In addition, his leadership roles have seen him guide and support countless other successful salespeople. Bruce has also played an active role in his local community, serving nine years as Chairperson of the Mangere Bridge Business Association, during which time the association received the inaugural Business Improvement District of the Year award from Manukau City Council. What truly sets Bruce apart is not just his experience, but his approach. Bruce is a licensed Agent as well as an Associate of the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (AREINZ). This gives him a comprehensive understanding of his responsibilities to his clients - but just as importantly, he is known for his calm, patient and genuinely caring nature. He takes the time to ensure his clients feel informed, supported, and confident - particularly those who may need extra guidance or are navigating more complex or emotional situations. Now part of Auckland’s leading real estate company, Bruce offers a level of knowledge, reassurance and service that is hard to match.

Exceptional service with clear and honest communication

We were highly impressed with the exceptional service provided by Chris and Paula throughout the sale of our property. Their clear communication and honest guidance were invaluable to us. Because we live out of town, the dedicated time and effort they invested in preparing our home for the market was incredibly helpful. They truly cared for our property as if it were their own and provided consistent updates at every stage, which significantly reduced our stress. We will confidently recommend Chris and Paula to our family and friends for a seamless real estate experience.

A Go Getter Salesperson who doesn't quit

We have dealt with Paresh Patel from the Onehunga office for many years, engaging him for both purchasing and selling our properties. Throughout every interaction, he has consistently demonstrated professionalism, reliability, and an upfront manner that has earned our complete trust. When we listed our investment property, the market conditions were challenging. Buyer activity was low, interest rates were high, and enquiry levels were far from ideal. Despite this, Paresh approached the campaign with unwavering commitment. He ensured our property was presented across all major platforms, kept us fully informed, and maintained a calm, reassuring presence even when progress was slow. What truly stood out was Paresh’s perseverance. At times when offers fell short of expectations and the process felt discouraging, he remained positive and continued to encourage us. His steady guidance and belief in the eventual outcome provided us with confidence during a period of uncertainty. In the end, we achieved a successful sale—an outcome we attribute to Paresh’s dedication, patience, and tireless efforts. We hold Paresh in the highest regard and fully recommend him. He will continue to be our first point of contact for any future real estate needs.
