Shane, Thanks again for all of your help over the last couple of years. You’ve been the best, most attentive property manager we’ve dealt with by a long shot.
From a young age Shane has been involved in property in one form or another. Creating house designs at school, then architecture at Auckland University to being a young landlord; a graphic artist and your quintessential Kiwi DIY weekend warrior!
Moreover, Shane realised Property Management isn’t built of brick and mortar but systems of good communication, ethics, culture and good old fashion hard work. It is these values that have built relationships with Shane’s clients since 2006 when he first joined the team at Anne Duncan Real Estate. As Senior Property Manager, Shane brings to the plate a wealth of experience and expertise and a perpetual successful working relationship between owner and tenant.
“Property Managers are continuously evolving from changing government legislation to social and building issues – there are plenty of challenges that greet us from dawn to dusk, but it is exciting and rewarding to achieve the desired result for your client”
Away from work, you will likely find Shane in the garden, on bush walks, on the tools or kicking a ball around with the kids.

Hi Shane Thank you so much for finding a tenant so quickly and efficiently. You have been so professional and efficient throughout this process, for both me and the landlords for both properties. Not only have you taken away some of the stress of moving and found me a property to suite our needs but I also know that you have served both landlords well in the process too. We all win with you. I have no doubt you have found good tenants for 1048 as well.
Thanks Shane! You are hands down the Best Property Agent around. I often chat with people about their rental issues and am thankful for the fantastic,professional service you always provide. If they are from Auckland I tell them how good you are at Anne Duncan. I hope you get a good break over the xmas holidays and all the best to you and your loved ones.

Hi Shane, Vincent and I really appreciate your great services. We genuinely sad have to end our longtime business relationship this time. We both think you and Des are our friends and we definitely will use your services again in the future. You are most welcome to use our comment in the testimonial page. Regards L & G Rosevina
Hi Shane That's great news. Thank you for all your help over the past two years. Top bloke. Cheers Johnny
Thank you Shane and a big thanks for your expert management of the property. I'm very happy with your service and promote you to others.
Hi Des and Shane, I would like to thank you very much for taking care of my property at 10 Hallam Street all these years either getting new tenants and organizing maintenance or while I was away overseas etc. and thanks for all your help. Will surely keep in touch. Best wishes and regards Peter Venkatrao
Thanks so much. I wanted to thank you for doing such a great job of managing my property while I've been on the other side of the world. When I first approached Anne Duncan, I'd had such an awful experience with one of your competitors (Harcourts) that working with Lauren initially, then Shane, was a breath of fresh air. I've been able to relax completely, knowing everything will be looked after in my absence, which has been a huge relief. I have recommended your services to friends seeking property management and, as you know, will shortly be listing the property for sale with Anne Duncan as I've been so impressed. Thanks again, and I look forward to popping in and saying hi when I return next week.
Hi Shane and Damien, How lucky am I to be a tenant with you guys, Anne Duncan Rentals and of course the landlord too. You guys are so proactive. Thanks for this and if you need me to be there let me know. Cheers, Mel
Thank you to you and the team for looking after the property so well over the years. Look forward to continuing relationship on the back property. Regards Brendon O’Connor
Thanks Shane, will keep checking your listings. :) I must say it has been a pleasure dealing with you and also with Carlos from your office (we were looking at another home about a month ago but again Bronx was an issue) …Your customer service has been fantastic always prompt and a pleasure to deal with. Have a lovely weekend and will keep in touch Many Thanks Tasi
Hi Des & Shane, Thank you very much. The professional and efficient manner in which all matters have been dealt with over the years is very much appreciated. Thanks to you and all the team. Regards Ingrid Thomsen
Shane, on another note, you have been superb to deal with, truly professional and immensely helpful; thank you Regards N. Southo Tenant Bollard
Shane, I am just so blown away by the quality of service your agency provides to tenants ..just been telling my work colleagues. At 2pm in afternoon I sent an email to you advising of problem with alarm fault. By 2.30 the Alarm people had rung me and you had emailed to say it’s been referred, By 3pm I was on my way home to meet the Alarm people and by 4.30 it was fixed. Such efficient and fast and hassle-free service on your part and your contractor. Superb service! Regards Melanie Coelho
To Anne Duncan, I am writing to complement you on the exceptional service we have received from your Property Manager - Shane Ryder. We have always been very pleased with the level of service we have received from all your Property Managers over the last 4 years, however, since Shane has taken over our portfolio he has been simply outstanding during a period of time when there has been a lot of activity with our properties. Shane is efficient, prompt and always goes the extra mile while giving sound advice. I cannot speak highly enough of Shane’s outstanding service and management abilities. He exceeds our expectations consistently. Shane is a credit to your Company and a pleasure to deal with. Regards Bronwyn Anchor
Hi Des & Shane, Thank you again for your service over the past 5 years. As I said to Shane we have been very happy with the service provided by the Anne Duncan Rental Team. Kind regards Helen
Thanks Shane, very much appreciate all yours and Anne Duncan's service in managing our property. Would highly recommend you to anyone.
I would like to thank you very much for the work you have done for and with me over the last two years. It came at a very difficult time in my life and you were unfailingly professional, good humoured and respectful. I also appreciated your practical suggestions and help. Warm regards and best wishes for the future to you and Shane.
Dear Des and team, Thank you for your email regarding the end of your property management services. We would like to thank you for managing our property so efficiently over the last eight years. We have appreciated the professional yet personal service from Lauren, Shane and yourself. You have always been easily contactable and knowledgeable and we were confident that our property was in safe hands. We wouldn't hesitate to refer you to others in the future. Kind regards Shelley and Walter
Dear des, Please convey my thanks to Shane for his work since I moved in. I have always felt very well looked after here. It is so good that he was proactive about the water leak, as I had not really noticed that it wasn't right. Please convey thanks to the landlord for insulating the roof space. It really has made a difference. Regards, S Brown
Dear, Shane, We would like to inform you that we had found another property to rent which will be more convenient for us in our current situation. Overall we would like to thank you for been an excellent property manager for that place where we lived for the last four years and providing us with a great reference to another rental agency. Kind regards, Lubov Bychkunova
We wish to place on record our appreciation of a member of your team and the dedication and effort he put into renting out the flat attached to our house. He was able to understand our expectations and went well beyond the call of duty to provide us with a good tenant. We would not hesitate to use your company again in the future.
Dear Shane, Thank you for your recent routine Inspection report. We wish to compliment you on the report which is very comprehensive and keeps us assured that our property is being well managed. Thank you. Kind Regards Brent & Joanna.
Dear Anne Duncan Real Estate, I just thought I would send a quick e-mail as some feedback on a couple of your staff. Normally people only give negative feedback so I thought I would let you know of some positives :) My partner and I were looking to rent in Mt Albert and I came across some properties on Trade Me so e-mailed Nick to see if I could set up a viewing. He got back to me quickly to make an appointment and even called to say I would be meeting with Shane on the Saturday. The mourning of the viewing came and Shane called me to say he may be late (which was really very professional and courteous of him. During our viewing he also mentioned some other properties he was viewing that day so we followed him to a couple more. During the course of our time with him he received quite a few phone calls and it sounded like he was fantastic agent with – both from a tenant and landlord point of view. I have previously dealt with a couple of not so polite agents - my experience with them was far from great. Anyway – Shane restored my faith in real estate agents – to the point where if I saw a property on Trade me with the Anne Duncan sign on it, I would give it more consideration than the other properties. I had seen on Trade me and saw someone at the door of one that had caught my eye – so I stopped to happily find another Anne Duncan Real Estate Agent there. This time it was Des – who showed me that property (even though I had not made an appointment) and another about an hour later. I kept meaning to send you an email to say what great service I had received and that your rental team restored my faith in the Real Estate industry. I fin a couple of years we go in search to buy I know that the Anne Duncan website will be one of the first I check! Many thanks and kind regards
As an overseas based landlord it is a relief to have 100 per cent trust in your Property Management Company. I have had the pleasure of being associated with Des and Shane Ryder at Anne Duncan Rentals for over two years and have complete faith in their communication and ability to protect my property, not to rip me off with extortionate fees or let me know about the insignificant day to day goings on. When I need them they are there with a great personal service and sense of humor. It’s hard to find honest people in the real estate sector and I feel happy to have found them. I would not hesitate to recommend them to fellow landlords and intend on keeping them as my property portfolio increases.
Hi Shane, Many thanks to you, Des and anyone else that did so much towards finding us a tenant at Mt Albert. We were quite amazed at the amount of effort and behind-the-scenes research that your company puts into finding and checking a tenant. It really was exceptional value and we would be happy to recommend your services to anyone. More impressive is that we would never hesitate to employ your company again. Kind regards Dean & Susan Danford.
Oh good, thanks Shane. I didn't realize another three months was up again! And thanks for doing such a great job - we feel in very good hands with you, Des, the whole Anne Duncan setup. We're always quite baffled when people raise their eyebrows and groan about property managers being useless. They just must be with the wrong crowd!!
Hi Shane, Many thanks for your diligence to the property at Burswood. The comments are much appreciated and as I would like to keep this property as good as poss it makes its easier to decide what needs to be done. Wish all agents did inspections as regular as you do. Once again many thanks.
Hi Shane, I thank you very much for your work over the last years. You and the staff at Anne Duncan Ltd have always been 100% helpful and 100% professional and you have kept it full and in good order and the communication has been excellent. If at some time in the future we want to use an agent again I would certainly approach Anne Duncan Ltd first! Regards B Fergusson
Shane and the team… at Anne Duncan have managed my rental property for the past 8 years. They’ve always kept me informed, provided practical and helpful solutions for any problems that arose, and best of all, they found wonderful reliable tenants. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a fantastic property manager.
Thank you again for your service over the past 5 years. As I said to Shane we have been very happy with the service provided by the Anne Duncan Rental Team.
Hi Shane! Thank you so much for acting as my Property Manager over the past 10 years or so. What a relief to have all the worries taken care of. It has been a pleasure working with you and your team.
Thanks Shane! You are hands down the Best Property Agent around. I often chat with people about their rental issues and am thankful for the fantastic, professional service you always provide. If they are from Auckland I tell them how good you are at Anne Duncan.
