About Gihan Dew

When people walk into their new home for the first time, the look on their faces makes selling real estate all worthwhile. As a salesperson, I love meeting these people, and having the freedom to spend as much time as needed to help them with their property needs.

Working for Barfoot & Thompson, New Zealand’s largest privately owned, non-franchised real estate company is a privilege. It is still owned and operated by the families who started the business nearly 100 years ago.

I graduated in hospitality business management and information technology and also worked as a franchisee owner of one of New Zealand's most popular baked food chains. I understand the service expectations of customers, a huge driving factor in his pursuit of service excellence.

My capacity for hard work is unsurpassed in an industry where long hours and demanding campaigns are the norm. I recognise and value the trust my clients place in me and I strive every day to exceed their expectations.

My greatest personal satisfaction comes from being totally committed to my clients. I am a professional who operates at the highest level with integrity and a smile. I revel in life with a positive and motivated outlook. My people skills and emotional intelligence are remarkable and are a guarantee that I will provide the highest level of service.

I love meeting new and interesting people and having the freedom to spend as much time as needed to help them with all of their real estate needs. Here, I bring all of my marketing, negotiation and people skills to the fore. You can be assured of my total focus, hospitable manner and unswerving dedication whether you are just wanting some market information or for when it is time to sell your home or buy.

When I think of Auckland I think beaches. The rugged West Coast, the tranquil East Coast Bays, not to forget the picturesque beaches a bit further north – all world-class destinations. Driving out to Muriwai to watch the sunset while enjoying fish ‘n chips or taking my kids to Takapuna Beach to build sandcastles, is pretty much heaven for me!

Apart from baking, I love playing cricket, swimming and singing (if anyone will listen). Through my role as a Maori warden in Otara I have an intimate knowledge and close connection to the local community.

Sinhalese is my first language and I am also fluent in English. When you work with me, you can be assured of my total focus - whether you just want some market information or if you’re looking to buy or sell your home, I’m here and ready.

Call me at Barfoot & Thompson Pakuranga. We’ll talk and eventually you’ll be a client with a big smile!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Gihan during my search for a new home, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From start to finish, he provided exceptional service, going above and beyond to ensure that every detail was handled smoothly. Gihan was incredibly knowledgeable about the local market, offering valuable insights that helped me make informed decisions. What I appreciated most was Gihan's attention to detail. He listened carefully to my needs and preferences and showed me properties that were exactly in line with what I was looking for. His deep knowledge of the area and market trends helped me feel confident that I was making the right decision. Beyond his professionalism, Gihan was genuinely kind and patient, taking the time to understand exactly what I was looking for in a property.

Gihan was an amazing support to have during the process of buying our first home!! 5 Stars

We were completely lost when we started our journey and he was able to provide sound, step-by-step advice that made us feel confident and comfortable throughout the entire process. His communication and people-skills were outstanding. He made himself available to us to answer any questions we had and he went above and beyond to ensure we were fully informed.

We viewed a house with Gihan, but weren’t successful in our negotiations, however, he knew what house amenities we were looking for and he took us for a private viewing for another house in the same suburb. The second house we viewed with him ticked all our boxes and we were able to purchase this dream house in October 2023.

After we settled in our home, he followed up with us to answer any final questions we had and to make sure we weren’t having arrival fallacy.

Overall, despite the daunting process of buying a home, having a good real estate agent like Gihan alleviated some of our stress. We recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell their house!
