About Gerhard
Hi, I'm Gerhard, and I'm really proud to be a South African gay man living here in beautiful New Zealand since 2019. It might sound like a bit of a jump, but my background as an international Hairstylist actually taught me so much about working closely with people and understanding their needs. When I moved into property management in South Africa, I quickly realised how much those skills, like building trust, showing respect, and keeping communication open, are absolutely essential in this field too.
These values are incredibly important to me, and I honestly pride myself on them. I believe that no problem is too big or too small to tackle. While I certainly don't claim to know everything, I'm genuinely curious and will always work hard to find the answers we need to keep things moving forward smoothly. I truly value both landlords and tenants equally because I see the whole dynamic as a partnership – a real give and take.
When I'm not focused on property, you can usually find me expanding my ever-growing collection of plants, or embracing my nerdy side with some gaming or a few rounds of Magic: The Gathering.
