Based at Harcourts Greenlane on Great South Road, selling across Auckland since 2003.
Selling Auckland homes since 2003
I started in Auckland real estate in 2003, stepped back for a few years to raise my family, and came back to it in 2012. More than 800 transactions later, I am still here, doing the same work with the same energy.
I grew up in Sri Lanka and have called New Zealand home since the mid-1990s. My family works in building and construction, which is how I ended up in property in the first place. It is still the reason I can walk through a house and tell you honestly what is worth spending money on before it goes to market, and what is not.
My approach starts with the people, not the property. Selling a house is one of the biggest things a family ever does and it is rarely only about the money, so I would rather bring some love and laughter to a kitchen table than pressure. Most of my work comes from repeat clients and referrals, and I would rather keep it that way than chase volume.
In practice that means clear communication, careful preparation, and staying close to every step from the first conversation through to settlement day.

Both sides of the table
I am an agent, an investor, and more recently a developer. Clients end up with the benefit of all three, because the person pricing your house has also been the person signing for one.
Buying and selling on my own account is what keeps me honest about numbers. It is easy to be confident with someone else’s money. It is a different exercise when the deposit is yours, and it changes the advice you give.
Development is the newer part, and I will say so plainly: I came to it recently. What I have done with that time is work alongside developers and investors who have been at it far longer than I have. Sitting in those rooms has taught me more about reading a site, a feasibility and a price than any course would have.
I am a business owner now as well as an agent. So when I tell you what it will cost to get a house ready, or how long the trades will actually take, it is because I have paid for it and waited for it myself.
- 01
Experienced
Over 800 transactions since 2003, through booms, flat years and corrections. The market changed repeatedly. The way I work did not.
- 02
Knowledgeable
A family background in building, my own buying and selling, and development work alongside people who have been doing it far longer than I have.
- 03
Trusted
Most of my work still arrives by referral, from clients who already know what they are getting. That is the part I am proudest of.
Buy or sell in your own language
Selling a house involves a lot of detail, and detail is where things get lost in translation. I work with clients in three languages, which matters in the suburbs I sell in most.

One stop shop
Everything under one roof
Working alongside Patras Chaudhry at Harcourts Greenlane means I can offer what most individual agents cannot: sales, management, maintenance, renovation and cleaning from one point of contact rather than five.
Property Sales
Residential and commercial, from the first appraisal through to settlement day.
Property Management
Tenanting, compliance and ongoing management for investors.
Property Maintenance
Repairs and upkeep, arranged and overseen for you.
Renovation
Getting a property ready to achieve its best price, guided by a family background in building.
Cleaning
Pre-marketing and move-out cleans, residential and commercial.
If you are preparing a house for sale, or managing a few, it means fewer moving parts and one person accountable for the outcome.

Much of Samantha’s business comes from repeat clients and referrals. Here is what a few of them have said.
Selling our house in Auckland felt like a big step for our family, and we were lucky to have Samantha, Pathras and Jason guiding the process from start to finish. They knew the local market inside out.
This is our first time selling our home and Samantha has been absolutely amazing throughout our house selling process.
We recently sold our investment property through Samantha Chaudhry at Harcourts Patras & Co, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience.
Samantha worked tirelessly. She gave me plenty of options. Accompanied us to see houses. Mist of all she was very patient and didn't push me at the auction. Impressive
Samantha is exceptional property agent and her ideas were well align with our expectation. The property we brought through Samantha is value for money and her knowledge and prediction is accurate.

Beyond the sale
Real estate is what I do. It is not the only reason people in these communities know who I am.
Founder and Director
Sri Lankans Got Talent in NZ
SLGTinNZ
I started SLGTinNZ to build a proper stage for talented people in our community, and to be some part of their growth once they are standing on it. Watching someone walk out for the first time and find out what they can do is worth every late night it takes to put on.
The Got Talent concept was created by Simon Cowell, and full credit goes to him for it. SLGTinNZ is a community event inspired by that idea.
- Sponsorship
A main sponsor, and a contributor in many other ways
I back community organisations across Auckland as one of their main sponsors, and in the less visible ways too: turning up, lending the office, finding the person who can actually help.
- Family
A proud mother of two boys
Both are now following their parents into property. Having them watch how this business gets done has kept me honest about how I do it.
- Home
A proud Kiwi for more than three decades
New Zealand has been home since the mid-1990s, and I have spent that time trying to give back to the country and the communities that made room for us.
