SECTOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
REINZ RPM Sector Group Jo Rae, Head of Property Management, REINZ
REINZ currently has five sector groups, with one dedicated to property management. Given the numerous changes we have seen regarding the property management industry, the feedback and insight from the residential property management group members are invaluable to the industry. The members represent independent companies and larger brands to provide comprehensive regional representation. Each member can serve a maximum of three two-year terms, which the REINZ Board elects. In September 2021, three of our longer-term members retired from their positions after many years of service, including Melanie Rouse from Harcourts Hamilton Rentals, Dan Lusby from Tauranga Rentals and Tania Ellis from Whittle Knight in Christchurch. Will Alexander also recently resigned, having moved on from his role as General Manager of Property Management for Property Brokers. We want to acknowledge the time and expertise they have each provided for what spans many years.
Your current Residential Property Management Sector Group members are:
in property management in 2007 as a portfolio manager with the Ray White Group. It was a chance encounter with his property manager at the time conducting a routine inspection at home, who suggested he should look into the profession himself. Little did he know that suggestion would alter his future forever. Since then, Zac has had several roles within the industry running portfolios for property management teams — before taking a leap of faith and starting his own property management business. Zac has always been hungry to grow and challenge his skill set and remains ever thankful that this industry continues to provide him with the opportunities to do just that. In 2013, the CEO of Ray White approached Zac about joining the corporate team as the New Zealand Head of Property Management. He recalls reading through the job description at the time, not knowing what it really meant or whether he was capable of the challenge — but knew it was the perfect next step!
