Real estate is a fantastic industry to be involved in, as every day I get the chance to help people achieve their dreams and reach their goals - it keeps me focussed, and motivated. Being very much a people-person with an abundance of management experience, I find it easy to relate to clients from all walks of life.

I have a Mechanical Engineering background with over 23 years of experience as an Operations Manager for a manufacturing company in Auckland. The role sharpened my attention to detail and strengthened my problem-solving skills. Combined with a practical eye for innovation and a strong work ethic, I’m well-equipped to optimise results for my clients.

What makes Auckland so special is that it’s home to such a diverse population – a melting pot of ethnicities and cultures. The business hub of New Zealand, it is also well known for its unpredictable weather – you can experience all four seasons in a day!

Living and working in Manukau is perfect for me – most of my family and friends live here and at the moment there is a significant number of new building projects giving a boost to the real estate market.

I live with my wife who is an Early Childhood teacher, and our two sons – one is a Chartered Accountant and the other is an undergraduate student. I enjoy watching sports and I play badminton to keep fit. I am actively involved with the Hindu temple in Onehunga through which we do a lot of activities for charity and help the needy.

As well as English I speak Hindi and Telugu.

If you’re looking to buy or sell in Manukau or the wider Auckland region, call me at Barfoot & Thompson Manukau. I’d love to work with you.
