Pukekohe

Anne-Marie Ruthe

(Opening more doors everyday) I am delighted to return to Harcourts Pukekohe after a six year break from real estate. During my absence I owned my own company, Franklin Limousines Ltd & Franklin Shuttle Services, as a lot of Pukekohe cliental would be aware of. After been involved and working all the odd hours round the clock, I had a feeling of loss and felt that this really isn’t me. Therefore I made the decision to make a phone call, which is the best decision I have made, to return to Real Estate under the trusted name of Harcourts. Courtesy of our in house family, with all their honesty and integrity, it is like I never left. The standards and systems for me have not changed the database that supported me since 2000 has only got stronger and larger over the years so if you don’t know me already please give me a call for a chat. If you are interested in buying or selling your largest asset----- your property. I would love to hear from you.

Wai Khoon (Eric) Leong

When I first came to New Zealand for my honeymoon in 1993, we actually spent eight days driving around in South Island and twenty-five days in Pukekohe visiting relatives. Suddenly, my wife and I fell in love with Pukekohe and we started to have a vision that we would return to settle down one day. We did this together with our two children eleven years later. This kind of commitment and “never give up attitude” has given me the confidence in choosing real estate as my career. Fortunately, I have been employed as a sales consultant by Harcourts Pukekohe in November 2006. Harcourts has a professional, high standard of training and service which supports me. The buying and selling of property to achieve the best possible results for vendors and purchasers is my biggest goal. Being born in a multi-nation country, I am able to speak and write good English, Mandarin and Malay, as well as some Chinese dialects like Cantonese, Hokkien and Hakka. When you make a decision to purchase or sell a property, my job is to make the transaction as smooth and stress free as possible. I will look forward to work with you.
