About Punish

Your Trusted Real Estate Expert With a solid track record of results and consistent 5-star client reviews, I’m proud to be recognised as one of the top-performing agents in the industry. My commitment to professionalism, honesty, and exceptional service is the foundation of every relationship I build—whether you’re buying your first home, upsizing, downsizing, or selling an investment property. I hold a Bachelor of Commerce from Delhi University, and a Post Graduate Diploma in Business (majoring in Operations Management) from Unitec, Auckland. These qualifications, along with my New Zealand Certificate in Real Estate, give me the strategic, operational, and marketing edge needed to achieve standout results for my clients—especially in today’s ever-changing market. Before joining real estate, I worked for five years in Auckland Airport’s duty-free sector, where I was twice awarded the prestigious Auckland Airport Retail Excellence Award. That experience sharpened my customer service and communication skills, which remain central to my real estate approach today. I also successfully owned and operated my own food business, further strengthening my understanding of what it takes to perform under pressure and deliver consistent value. I’ve lived on the North Shore since moving to New Zealand and have developed deep local knowledge and strong community ties. The Shore’s lifestyle, safety, and vibrancy are what I love sharing most with clients looking to buy here. My focus is always on delivering excellent outcomes. I'm a skilled negotiator, a clear communicator, and a strategic marketer—fully committed to making every sale or purchase as seamless and successful as possible. Whether you're buying or selling, I will guide you through every step with transparency, dedication, and genuine care. If you're looking for a trusted real estate professional who puts your goals first and has the experience to get results, get in touch today. Let’s make your property journey a success—together.

Huge thanks to Punish - you made selling our house stress-free

Huge thanks to Punish - you made selling our house stress-free

You don’t know what you don’t know when you are selling a house for the first time. From our very first meeting with Punish, we felt we were in safe and experienced hands. We were confident that he would guide us through every step of the process, from that first conversation right through to the moment we had a signed, unconditional contract. Punish was completely open and honest about how he would market our property: what was necessary, what wasn’t, and what would genuinely help achieve the best price. We particularly appreciated that he didn’t try to “upsell” us on extras that might look good but weren’t essential. He took the time to talk through different selling options and understood our hesitation about going to auction. Because we wanted to minimise stress, he worked with us to find an approach we were comfortable with, rather than pushing a strategy that didn’t suit us. Throughout the process, Punish went above and beyond. He was more than willing to go to the property to let people in, oversee work, and make sure everything stayed on track. He also recommended reliable tradespeople and services that helped us prepare the house for sale without unnecessary hassle. Selling a house can feel overwhelming, but Punish made the entire process feel manageable. We always felt well informed, supported, and confident that our best interests were being looked after. We would definitely recommend him to anyone thinking about selling their property. He is definitely worth 5 stars!

Best agent on the North Shore

Couldn't have worked harder for the clients. While many other agents offered assistance Punish actually did. He also tells it straight and without any of the real estate BS that you sometimes get.

Strong market knowledge, clear communication, and professional, reliable support throughout

We had the unique challenge of selling our current home while simultaneously buying a new one, and Team Punish and Anna made the entire process feel seamless and well-coordinated. From the beginning, they kept us fully informed, communicated clearly, and ensured we were always in the loop at every stage. There were definitely moments where things became challenging, but they have navigated each hurdle with confidence, professionalism, and the right advice at the right time. Their guidance had a genuinely positive impact on the outcome of both our sale and purchase. Because we were managing both transactions at once, timing and planning were critical. Punish and Anna handled it all perfectly, helping us line everything up so the transition was smooth and stress-free. When it came to finding our new home, they truly went above and beyond. We had specific needs, especially making sure the property had enough space for our twins to play and grow, and they listened carefully and understood what mattered most to our family. Even though the search was tough, they never gave up. They found us the perfect property that ticked every box. Overall, we’re incredibly grateful for their dedication, patience, and commitment to helping our family move into a home that feels exactly right for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you very much!- The Dsilva Family!
