David Pearse came from a background in the real estate industry holding positions as Branch Manager and Sales Manager. Under his control was a property management department and he established ‘best practice’ principles to improve the level of service to property owners and tenants.

Realising there was a huge need for a quality property management service he joined a specialist property manager franchise, but his experience was that traditional models with high overheads does not result in better service.

In 2010 he started a boutique property management company called Pukeko Rental Managers with the goal of a profitable lifestyle business for himself but has developed into a nationwide franchise which is ‘Proud to be the best, not the biggest’.
