SHANE & CO HITS THE GROUND RUNNING

Century 21’s newest franchise owner Shane Kumar was off to a bumpy start, having to postpone his opening due to the country going into Level 4 lockdown, but he’s well and truly now making up for lost time..

The principal of Century 21 Shane & Co is located at 37 Charles Street in Papatoetoe. He is a born and bred South Aucklander and has worked for several years in the wider South Auckland area as a successful real estate agent.

“The opening of Shane & Co in Papatoetoe further strengthens our strong presence in South Auckland. Shane’s been working really hard and is already achieving some great results for clients,” says Derryn Mayne, Owner of Century 21 New Zealand.

The franchise owner has a Bachelor of Property degree from the University of Auckland. Recently he’s been working as a project manager for some South Auckland residential property developments, giving him great experience and exposure to the construction sector.

However, the pull to again sell real estate was too strong for Shane, and so he’s back! Century 21’s new branding also appealed to him.

Shane & Co has a well-established residential property portfolio and considerable experience in all aspects of property management. He says his use of online platform PropertyTree is a huge advantage to owners, managers and tenants.

Mr Kumar looks forward to recruiting other salespeople, with Shane & Co covering the South Auckland areas of Papatoetoe, Otahuhu, Mangere, and Manukau.

“Century 21 is in good shape helped by our strong community connections and the considerable business experience our franchise owners bring. We continue to take a positive approach when it comes to the property market,” says Derryn Mayne. “The arrival of Shane & Co is another example of Century 21’s momentum in New Zealand,” she says.
