Ann de Liefde | ANN/HOMES

For Ann de Liefde, real estate has never been about volume. It is about people, homes and helping owners make thoughtful decisions at important moments in their lives.

As the founder of ANN/HOMES and a residential salesperson with Ray White Parnell, Ann specialises in Meadowbank and Auckland's eastern suburbs. Her approach is deliberately boutique, working with a limited number of clients at any one time so every home receives the attention it deserves.

Ann grew up in Roseneath, Wellington, the daughter of a Dutch father and a Kiwi mother. She was drawn to Meadowbank because it reminded her of home – established neighbourhoods, mature trees, hills, and homes with character, each contributing to a unique, connected community.

After a successful career in sales and marketing leadership, founded on an MBA specialising in sales and marketing, Ann entered residential real estate to combine her commercial experience with a lifelong passion for homes, architecture and property presentation.

Having owned, renovated and lived in homes ranging from traditional villas to mid-century and contemporary properties, she appreciates that every home has its own character and every owner has different goals. Whether representing a family home, helping a couple downsize, or guiding owners into their next chapter, Ann brings calm leadership, clear communication and a considered strategy to every sale.

Known for her thoughtful approach and strong advocacy for her clients, Ann believes the role of an agent is not simply to sell property, but to help people move forward with confidence.

Meadowbank is more than a market for Ann. It is a community she knows, understands and proudly represents.

Calm leadership. Clear process. Considered outcomes.
