Lakesh Kumar is a trusted real estate professional with Tommy’s Kapiti, bringing over 20 years of business and customer service experience. Known for his integrity, dedication, and community focus, he helps clients buy and sell with confidence and care.

Lakesh Kumar has built his career on a foundation of hard work, trust, and genuine care for the people he serves. He began his footwear retail journey in 2005, eventually opening Global Shoes at Coastlands Mall, which he grew into a thriving business through dedication, community connection, and a commitment to excellent service. In 2013, Lakesh moved to the Kapiti Coast with his family — a decision he describes as one of the best of his life. Drawn by the beautiful beaches, friendly people, and strong community spirit, Kāpiti quickly became home. Today, he and his wife are raising their two daughters here, embracing the lifestyle and strong sense of community the region offers. For over a decade, Lakesh continued to serve the region through Global Shoes, building lasting relationships and earning the trust of locals. After 20 years in retail, he decided to follow a long-held dream and step into real estate. His years in business taught him that every client is unique and that every detail matters. He takes the time to truly listen, offering tailored advice, clear communication, and honest guidance at every stage. Sport has also played a big role in his life. Having proudly represented Fiji in squash for three years, Lakesh now plays actively with the Kāpiti Squash Club. The values of teamwork, discipline, and persistence that sport instilled in him flow naturally into his work with clients. For Lakesh, real estate isn’t just about buying or selling — it’s about helping people make one of life’s biggest decisions with confidence and peace of mind. Warm, approachable, and community-minded, he treats every client as a friend and every property as if it were his own. Whether you’re buying your first home, upsizing, downsizing, or investing, you can count on Lakesh to go the extra mile — and then the final mile — to get the job done.
