About Anu

My journey in NZ began in 2009 when I decided to pursue a post graduate diploma (Level 8) in Hospitality at PIHMS. I always thought I’d complete the course then work in a hotel somewhere in NZ, I never thought I would fall in love with New Plymouth so much that I’d feel at home or meet my wife here. New Plymouth is such a wonderful place that I call it a “City of Opportunities “. After graduating from PIHMS I worked as a Restaurant Manager at Arborio for over three years, it gave me the privilege of learning lots about various cultures and mixes of people this region possesses. Due to my motivation and love for challenges I decided to open my own business in 2014 at Centre City shopping centre called “ Beirut Kebabs & Salads “ . The business was a great success and the amount of love and support I received from the community was overwhelming. We were also awarded as finalists in the TSB TOP shop award 2016. Despite owning my own business at the age of 29, I still felt as though something was missing in my life and I wanted to achieve more, that’s how my career in Real estate started. I am here to exceed and achieve my client expectations. Giving a great service in food lasts for a short period of time whereas selling houses is an achievement which creates long lasting memories for years to come. I’m not just “selling houses”, I’m helping to create homes.

Above and Beyond Every Step of the Way

We've now had Anna sell two of our homes, and we've also bought a home through her. We honestly wouldn't use anyone else. Anna is amazing at what she does. She made the whole selling process so easy, kept us informed every step of the way, and always went above and beyond. She is professional, hardworking, honest, and nothing is ever too much trouble. We're so grateful for everything she's done for us over the years and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Anna went above & beyond to help us through our first house sale remotely.

We had never met Anna Straathof before the decision was made to sell our 2 bedroom unit in New Plymouth. We reside in Auckland and it was important to have a Real Estate Agent we could relate to personally. We were so lucky to be introduced to Anna by a trusted family member. Anna's professionalism was exceptional in answering our many questions and perceived problems accurately. Every phone call was answered directly, calmly and correctly. Paper work was presented promptly, and corrected here and there with patient calmness. Anna communicated with our legal team with professionalism. When the sale was completed within weeks Anna celebrated equally with us, all of which was handled in a particularly 'difficult' period for house sales. Her follow up was greatly appreciated.
