Waikato Real Estate is a family-owned, award-winning Hamilton property management company, trusted by landlords since 1985.

Founded by Michael Murray and now led by Managing Director Michelle Pearson, Business Manager Oliver Pearson, and Operations Manager Nick Murray, we combine decades of experience with a fresh, modern approach to property management.

Today, we manage over 1,200 residential rental properties across the Waikato - representing more than $1 billion in assets. With an 18-strong team and one of the highest staff tenures in the industry, we offer stability, expertise, and continuity that Hamilton landlords can rely on.

We’re proud to be multiple national award winners, including New Zealand’s Property Management Agency of the Year in 2020, 2023 and 2025, and we are the highest-rated large Hamilton property management company on Google, with 500+ reviews and a 4.8-star rating. Our client churn rate sits below 2% - a reflection of long-term trust and performance.

What sets us apart is that many of our team own investment properties themselves - and others are tenants - so we understand the commercial realities and human elements of property management firsthand. Combined with our in-house licensed sales agent who focuses on investment property sales, we offer Hamilton landlords a full-service, investment-focused approach.

Our diverse team brings strengths across law, finance, building, IT, compliance, and customer service. Whether you’re a first-time landlord or an experienced investor with a multi-property portfolio, you’ll benefit from a proactive, data-driven, and people-focused management approach.

At Waikato Real Estate, property management is our focus - and we’re committed to doing it better than anyone else.

If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced Hamilton property manager, we’d love to help you get more from your investment.
