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.

Anu stands out

I saw four agents when preparing to sell my home in Vogeltown. Anu stood out heads above the others for his market knowledge, professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile, and that is why I signed him up. Communication is a strong point, backed with honesty and strong ethics. Anu takes an individualised approach to both seller and buyer and plus, importantly, he and his team are really good fun to work with. If you are planning to sell your home, I suggest you meet with Anu when considering who to work with. I’m pretty sure you will end up choosing him as your selling agent.

Once we started working with Tim we realised he was a great bloke but also a very good agent

We have had a great experience purchasing our property through Tim, he has acted very professionally, has listened to what we have said and has been very approachable. He has helped us with lots of local knowledge as well, and really worked in our interests. We would be very happy to refer him on as an agent.

Professional, communicative, and transparent throughout

Neale and Rachel were both really helpful and communicative throughout the process. They were always available and responsive, and they presented themselves professionally with a clear understanding of the market. One thing we particularly appreciated was how they kept us updated after every house viewing — they would call us right away and then follow up with a detailed email covering what happened during the viewing and what to expect next. That level of communication gave us confidence throughout the process. We did end up selling below our initial expectation, but that was largely due to the current market situation rather than any shortcoming on their part. During the negotiation phase, it became apparent that they know their job well and know how to handle negotiations effectively. Overall, we appreciated their support and professionalism.
