About Alan Zhao

After 14 years in the real estate industry, both in China and New Zealand, I can honestly say when I'm helping people buy and sell their homes, I enjoy every single transaction.

I am a Master of Commerce graduate with Honours, from Auckland University. My career began in Auckland and then I returned to China where I worked for a well-known developer who built luxurious apartments in Shanghai. As the leader of the investment team, I became used to dealing with multi-million dollar residential and commercial land property transactions.

Back in New Zealand, living in Millwater and working in Greenhithe, I have established both local and overseas networks and have many friends who are builders and developers on the North Shore. I believe Barfoot & Thompson's innovative marketing approach and their non-franchised structure, contributes greatly to the success of their over 1,500 salespeople across 77 branches.

My lovely family is very special to me. We have twins, a boy and a girl and a naughty border collie called Jay. My hobbies when I'm not working or with the family are reading, playing chess and I've reached the second dan level in taekwondo. It is a martial art that teaches you discipline and keeps you fit.

I love to support charities that help needy children in the world. World Vision is a favourite.

I speak English and Mandarin and I'm an excellent communicator and negotiator. Call me, email me or drop into the office for a chat. I'd love you to be the next client who I make happy.

Testimonials
Working with my agent Alan has been one of the best decisions I made. From our very first conversation, I felt supported, valued, and confident that I was in good hands. Throughout the entire process, he was incredibly patient, professional, and always available whenever I had questions or concerns. He took the time to explain every step, kept me updated regularly, and genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me. I never felt like just another client—I felt like someone whose goals and concerns truly mattered. What impressed me most was his dedication, honesty, and willingness to go above and beyond. He handled every challenge with calmness and expertise, making what could have been a very stressful experience feel manageable and reassuring. Totara Views Drive, Red Beach-
I highly recommend Alan to anyone who wants to find a good place to live in Auckland. He did really an excellent job and he is genuine, professional, and hard-working! I am very glad for being there and had a great time. Lilly Zhang - August 2020-
Excellent experience and great result! We appointed Alan to sell our property in Millwater and he did a great job. The marketing campaign was so amazing, I almost did not want to sell. He is always professional and reliable, from organizing workmen to home staging, from marketing strategy to building inspection. He always gives us awesome advice and arranges everything smoothly. I absolutely recommend Alan for anyone who wants to sell their property. Weina -
We first contacted Alan when we looked at a property in Orewa. Although that property was not suitable for us, he listened to our search requirements and was aware of an upcoming property that may be suitable in Red Beach. Alan pursued communicating with the developer and arranged a meeting on-site for us to talk face-to-face with the developer. He helped us to liaise with the developer's design team to cater to all of the requirements that we were hoping to have in our new build. There was excellent communication via email, phone calls, and texts during this process. Through Alan, we have been successful in negotiating an unconditional offer for this house and land package and we are very happy to recommend Alan for other purchasers that are searching for a house and land purchase.
