My Story, Sales, and Testimonials

I feel fortunate to have grown up in a farming family on the outskirts of a small rural town in the Far North with Mum, Dad, and my three siblings. It is from these humble beginnings that sparked the satisfaction I feel from good, honest, hard work.

From becoming head boy of my High School, to accepting an offer to become part of the New Zealand Army as an Officer, then furthering my education at Massey University have all led me to where I am today.  All these parts of my life have taught me skills such as teamwork, leadership, and time management among many others and provide a good base for my role.

I moved to Wellington over 17 years ago and pursued a career in Real Estate shortly after, having now had my license for over 16 years. A drive to carry out real estate at the highest level still lights a fire within me. I couldn’t think of a career I would rather be involved in. Any awards won are just a bonus.

Outside of Real Estate, I live in Wellington with my wife Amy and my two boys Kiaan and Bo. Becoming a Dad has been my greatest achievement to date. I am a social person and have a good sense of humor – I have been known to pull a few harmless pranks in my time!

I find great enjoyment in physical exercise; I have represented to a regional and national level in Swimming, Rugby and Triathlons. Currently, I pursue Crossfit as an outlet for energy where I have competed among the best in NZ. Being a little older now, I would be the first to admit it is getting a little harder to compete with the guys 10 – 15 years my junior (especially trying to work through a long-standing niggling injury). My discipline, determination, and mental fortitude needed to succeed in sport carry directly through to the real estate industry, helping me to stay very focused throughout the sale until completion and achieve the best result for clients.

Some of my endorsements over the years

I would like to thank you very much for your big effort to sell my house at the best possible price. I do appreciate your determination to get me a suitable buyer. Once again thank you very, very much and wish you all the best with your future sales.

Judy

Thank you for all your hard work in selling my home. I had tried to sell this house with other estate agents on two earlier occasions without success. You, on the other hand, managed to meet my needs at a price I wanted only 4 weeks after listing—what a fantastic result! I found your practical, honest and professional approach to be refreshing and removed a significant amount of stress that goes with selling a home. It was good to get your regular updates on progress and would certainly recommend you to anyone wishing to sell their home.

Hugh

I had been in contact with Kahn over 2 years ago but had to delay selling my property, Kahn kept me up to date with info over this time which always felt personalised without any pressure. When the time was right i didn’t hesitate to sign him up. Kahn is professional, caring and supportive. I highly recommend him.

Tracey

Kahn is a pleasure to deal with. Very personable, knowledgeable, friendly and easy to get along with. Kahn is an excellent communicator and kept us well informed with developments.

Rob

Friendly, genuinely interested in my requirements, and always available and ready to assist in resolving any issues that arose e.g. a storm leak just prior to settlement.

Logan

What a lovely surprise the flowers were. Thank you very much. I was very much relieved of my anxiety levels selling my house once I got to know you and your colleagues and realized the care and efficiency with which you do your work. Please extend my best wishes to everyone. Hope you are basking in the spring sunshine.

Lu

I simply wish to congratulate you on your excellent member of staff Kahn May. Kahn was a pleasure to deal with, extremely professional, hard-working and diligent. He made the whole process far less stressful than it may have been, and I really wish to put this on record. He is a credit to your business and an asset that I am sure you will appreciate.

Lawrence

Thanks so much for the work you put into selling our house Kahn. We really appreciated how honest and straight up you were throughout the process and the regular communication we received. We tried to sell our house privately to no avail, which was very stressful. Once you came on board the process was really easy and the best part was that we sold for far more than we expected. Renee and I are totally stoked with the result, we will certainly be recommending you to our friends in the future.

Blake

Kahn was excellent to deal with, always answered my calls for any questions or advice that I needed and had a great understanding of the current market and also the Wellington area. Would highly recommend using Kahn as an agent – he went above and beyond for us and we are wrapped with the outcome.

Adam and Arna

Kahn worked with us for more than two years to find a new home. Kahn regularly went the extra mile for us. Nothing ever seemed to be too much trouble. When it did finally come time to sell our home, there was only one agent we would consider. Our experience couldn’t have been better. Kahn was with us every step of the way, giving 100% honest and upfront advice. A few days later Kahn achieved a really impressive result in a gloomy market. Kahn is one of the most genuine and hard-working land agents we have met. With Kahn you get honesty and integrity in spades, as well as stand out dedication. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kahn to anyone wanting to buy or sell a home, you couldn’t be in better hands. Andrew and Nathan

Andrew and Nathan

Kahn was a great agent for us – experienced, knowledgeable of the Wellington market and a genuinely good man.

Todd

Kahn worked tirelessly and professionally to market and sell our house. I’ve been beyond impressed with his level of dedication and optimism. I highly recommend Kahn as a residential real estate agent and we would use him again in a heartbeat.

Tali

I wish Kahn all the best for success in his real estate business. He does a fine job of looking after his clients, as I can personally vouch for.

Ruth

Kahn came across as an all round nice guy, he was accessible, answered queries promptly and of course he got us an amazing result!

Vendor

Hey Kahn, I have been meaning to get in touch to say a HUGE THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the wonderful service and quick turn-around of our Camperdown home. It was so quick and easy and painless and with an awesome result for us. Do know that I will pass your name on to anyone I know who is considering selling. Best luck for the future.

Beck

We chose Kahn to sell our home because he was proactive and we built an instant rapport with him. He was genuine and we knew he would work hard to get the best result for us. He regularly communicated with us and guided us easily through the process. He has good knowledge of the market and helped us with advice on preparing the final touches before selling. As for the result we couldn’t be more delighted. Would recommend Kahn to others and we wouldn’t hesitate to use him again ourselves.

Rosie and Mike

We’re delighted to recommend Kahn – from an initial “chance conversation” several years ago to us finally deciding to sell our house in 2016, Kahn’s kept in contact over those years. And it was for this key reason of maintaining the relationship that we chose Kahn to market our property. On top of that, Kahn made the process simple for us – he provided information that was relevant, did not “over-promise” a sale price and managed the marketing campaign effectively (and consequently obtained a brilliant outcome for us).

Diana and Deiter

I firstly wanted to thank you for the beautiful bunch of flowers, they were a pleasant surprise for us to receive. Secondly and most importantly I wanted to thank you for your excellent effort at selling our house. We are so delighted and overwhelmed at the speedy outcome and we are so pleased with the price that you negotiated. Your professionalism, honesty, approachability and general good humour make you a fantastic real estate agent. We will have no hesitation recommending you to others. In fact we already have! Thanks again and all the best.
