ABOUT US
WE’RE CHANGING THE WAY PROPERTY MANAGEMENT WORKS IN NEW ZEALAND
At Good Neighbours, we believe rental property should run smoothly — for landlords, tenants, and the property managers who support them.
That’s why we’ve built a model that combines great people, proven systems, and the right infrastructure to deliver real results.
Our Story
BUILT BY A PROPERTY MANAGER WHO KNEW IT COULD BE BETTER
I’m Patrick Rankin, founder of Good Neighbours. I’ve worked in property management for over 14 years, and during that time I’ve represented landlords at the Tenancy Tribunal with a 100% success rate.
That’s not to boast. It’s just proof that the right systems work. From day one, we’ve focused on getting the fundamentals right:
-
Clear communication
-
Thorough documentation
-
Strong processes backed by law
Too many landlords were getting poor service. And too many great property managers were stuck in salaried jobs with no financial upside. So I built a different kind of company — one where we train, support, and partner with people who want to build something of their own.
Today, we manage a growing portfolio of rental properties across Auckland and the Bay of Plenty — including Rotorua and Tauranga — and we’re just getting started. Our model is attracting ambitious property managers and landlords who want more from their investment. With every new partnership, we’re building a smarter, more empowering way to manage property in New Zealand.
We’re proud to support Business Builders on their own path to income, independence, and a payout that reflects the value they’ve helped create.
