About Luke

As one of the Top 50 Agents of Excellence nationwide with Realestate.co.nz for marketing excellence (ranked #37 to March 2025) and #6 in Sales Partnerships across Central Auckland to March 2022, I’m proud to deliver results my clients can trust. I believe outstanding real estate service is built on certainty, trust, and confidence. Selling a home is both a financial and emotional milestone, and my goal is to make the process stress-free, transparent, and rewarding from start to finish. While achieving a great price is always a priority, my real satisfaction comes from seeing the relief and happiness my clients feel when everything goes smoothly. I’ve called New Zealand home since 2000, completing my education in Christchurch before settling in Auckland in 2010. Fluent in English, Mandarin, and Shanghai dialect, I bridge cultures and connect clients with wider buyer networks through WeChat, Chinese social media, and local community engagement. My structured, detail-driven approach ensures every campaign is carefully planned and executed for optimal results. Before entering real estate, I developed a strong background in telecommunications, working with Spark, TelstraClear, and Vodafone. That experience honed my skills in communication, problem-solving, and negotiation—qualities I now bring to every property transaction. Clients describe me as approachable, reliable, and professional. I value honesty, continuous improvement, and long-term relationships. Outside of work, I’m family-focused, love playing sports with my kids, and stay active in my community as a school volunteer and apartment committee member. If you’re seeking clear advice, dedicated representation, and strong results, I’d love to help make your property goals a reality.

Fantastic Result in Just Two Weeks

Fantastic Result in Just Two Weeks

We were very happy with the service we received. Our apartment went unconditional within two weeks, which was a fantastic result. Luke was professional, approachable and always quick to respond. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to sell!

Luke Shi made buying my city apartment a seamless, stress-free, and highly professional experience.

I recently purchased a city apartment through Luke Shi and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Buying an apartment comes with extra complexities like body corporate details, but Luke made the entire process incredibly clear and stress-free. Their communication was top-notch, they always replied promptly, and they guided me through settlement seamlessly. I highly recommend them to any buyers looking for a professional and reliable agent."

Professional, responsive and dependable throughout a complex remote sale

Professional, responsive and dependable throughout a complex remote sale

Luke managed the sale of our Auckland Central apartment through a particularly challenging campaign involving extensive Body Corporate documentation and changing circumstances. Throughout the process, he remained calm, responsive and transparent. He provided practical advice, followed up interested buyers consistently, kept us informed with detailed campaign reports, and coordinated viewings, staging and the final property preparations. He never overpromised and remained actively involved from the initial listing through due diligence and settlement. We especially appreciated his patience, sound judgement and willingness to help resolve practical issues personally. Luke and his team ultimately secured a committed buyer and carried the transaction through to a successful settlement. We would confidently recommend Luke to owners looking for an agent who communicates clearly, works persistently and remains dependable throughout the entire sales process.

Experienced & personal commitment no matter how big or small

Experienced & personal commitment no matter how big or small

Luke was both proactive and responsive. I came with quite a small narrow budget with multiple requirements, which resulted in us viewing a high number of properties over quite a long period of time. Luke offered advice without being patronising or talking down to my lack of knowledge of the home-buying process (this being my first time) and never made me feel like my questions were too basic, taking the time to explain things when I asked, or if he felt like background would be helpful. When my initial list of requirements proved too ambitious for my budget, he led me to such a realisation on my own time so I could accept it, even though I am sure he knew beforehand. Honestly having Luke be my agent often felt like having a friend who was helping me find my first home to own, but one that has a deep understanding both of the market (particularly apartments, both inner city and outside such) and the process of buying. He would be excited for me but also never made me feel like he wasn't grounded. Further, even though my budget, as mentioned, was quite small, he never made me feel like I was a lesser client than those he must have with budgets twice, 5 times, or even possibly 10 times my own. He was always giving with his time with me, making me a priority. I have already recommended him to friends and colleagues who are in positions similar to my own.

Luke was great and the second property I’ve bought off him, attention to detail and helpful through the process.
