The idea for EZPZ Property Management started long before any official paperwork was filed. It was late 2019. I had just bought my first apartment in Auckland, New Zealand. After living in the apartment for several months, I made the decision to rent it out. That’s when I encountered something unexpected: Poor service levels in the Property Management (and Real Estate Sales) industry. I was struck by: ● A surprising lack of care, ● Minimal communication and responsiveness, ● High levels of staff turnover in every agency I approached. Eventually, I signed with a rental agency—but weeks went by, and my apartment remained vacant. No updates, no urgency, and no clear plan. Frustrated, I took matters into my own hands. I grabbed my phone, took some photos, and listed the apartment on a few social media platforms. Within days, I was getting messages and enquiries. I even began scheduling inspections on behalf of my property manager. It wasn’t long before a tenant, someone I had directly connected with, signed the lease. At the time, I didn’t realise it, but a fire had been lit. My sales background & foundation: In 2020, I moved into a role in real estate sales, working with a boutique agency in Auckland. We specialised in selling apartments, offering one-on-one inspections instead of traditional open homes. It was a more personal approach, and it worked—our conversion rates were some of the highest in the city. That role sharpened my sales skills and gave me valuable insight into what property owners actually want. Over the next two years, I built a small property portfolio in Auckland. New City, New Chapter: In September 2022, post-COVID, I felt it was time for a change. I explored options between Sydney and Melbourne, eventually choosing Melbourne to start fresh. New city, new challenge—close enough to home, but far enough to grow. I took a role at South Yarra BMW, where I worked for nearly two years. It was a return to a familiar skillset—sales—but something still pulled at me. While living in Australia, I continued to experience frustration with my property manager back in New Zealand: ● Confusing income statements, ● Extra charges for organising basic maintenance ● Poor communication all around. Despite living overseas, I eventually took over management of my NZ properties myself—from Melbourne. That experience only confirmed what I already knew: Property owners deserve better. The Turning Point: While still working full-time, I started laying the groundwork for something more. I’d print flyers at work, mock up QR codes, and brainstorm how I could one day launch my own property management business. I’d show my workmates the drafts and share my vision with them. But I had doubts: ● I'm young ● I didn’t grow up here ● I had no support network or connections in Melbourne I’ve always been someone who takes action—often impulsively, always with intention and I don’t let the fear of failure stop me. I try, I learn, I improve. At the time, I lived alone in my apartment in South Yarra—just around the corner from South Yarra BMW. I was saving every dollar I could. Not for crypto. Not for shares. Not for a house deposit. I was saving to buy time—enough to give myself 12 months of rent, food, and basic expenses so I could commit, fully, to starting this company. And So, EZPZ Was Born. On the 28th of July, 2024, I took the first official step. That’s the day this photo was taken. The first day of EZPZ Property Management. A company built on personal experience, frustration, and a vision for how things should be. Why EZPZ? Because property management should be easy: ● Easy for owners – clear communication, transparent fees, zero fluff. ● Straightforward for tenants – respectful service and reliable support. ● Backed by action, not excuses.  That’s what I set out to build. And that’s what EZPZ is all about.
