I lead Impression Real Estate with the same zest I bring to the stage and the skies. Every day is about scripting strategic moves while ready for improvisational solos. The mantra? “Adapt, improvise, and excel.”

I lead Impression Real Estate with the same zest I bring to the stage and the skies. Every day is about scripting strategic moves while ready for improvisational solos. The mantra? “Adapt, improvise, and excel.”

The journey from the boardroom to the theatre, and up into the skies as a trainee pilot, is about exploring boundless vistas. A small stint in Bollywood’s “PK” was a prologue to a rich acting odyssey, while the tranquility of soaring heights resonates with the peace I find in strategic decision-making at Impression.

Cricket matches or community initiatives, the camaraderie and unity echo the ethos of teamwork at Impression. It’s about pushing boundaries, exploring, and cherishing every role I’m fortunate to play – as a CEO, an actor, a pilot in training, and a community enthusiast.

Weekends might find me on a spontaneous road trip, or prepping for a new role, each experience adding a verse to the ongoing narrative of a journey that intertwines business acumen with creative expression and an unyielding curiosity.

Hello,

I am Manpreet Kaur.

I moved to New Zealand 9 years ago from India and have since made it my home. Coming here was difficult, I had to learn a whole new world. But now, this is my home and I have become accustomed to the language and daily life.

Since I moved here, I started working as soon as I could, but not in sectors I was necessarily comfortable working in, but I embraced each opportunity to learn new skills. I finally landed a job at Impression, starting as a weekend fill-in person at our rental office. I was then hired full-time as a compliance assistant. I have now obtained the role of junior property manager since first starting with the company 3 years ago. I am a cheerful person, who strives to be successful in all that I do. But I also take time for myself, some of the hobbies I enjoy, are gardening, taking walks on the beach, yoga, and listening to audiobooks.

I look forward to serving my clients to the best of my abilities.

I approach property management the same way I approach cricket, playing off the front foot.

Property management needs to be proactive, there is nothing more satisfying than anticipating and solving something before it becomes a problem.

I prioritize communication in everything I do, having an open line with tenants and owners alike ensures their properties are looked after to the best standard possible – I look after each property as if it were my own.

I approach property management the same way I approach cricket, playing off the front foot.

Property management needs to be proactive, there is nothing more satisfying than anticipating and solving something before it becomes a problem.

I prioritize communication in everything I do, having an open line with tenants and owners alike ensures their properties are looked after to the best standard possible – I look after each property as if it were my own.

With 4 years in the industry and a NCEA level 4 certificate in Property Management, I have strong experience that only grows by the day.

In my downtime you can find me on the golf course or cheering on the Warriors at Mount Smart Stadium (Up the wahs).

Sport (which you may have noticed already) and community are something I hold dear. During my time in property management, I was fortunate enough to have an opportunity to organize and run a charity golf tournament that raised over $20,000 for I AM Hope and Gumboot Friday. With Impressions strong community values, I am excited to see what future projects we can come up with in this space.
