Dominic and Jared are the owners and Directors of Kallil Real Estate Limited, a family business that has operated in the heart of Papakura for more than 20 years. Having taken over the business from their parents eight years ago, they have continued to build its local presence across residential sales and property management.

Between them, Dominic and Jared bring more than 30 years of real estate experience, alongside longstanding relationships with homeowners, investors and the wider Papakura community.

For Professionals Group New Zealand Chief Executive Shaun Taylor, welcoming an established business of this calibre represents an important step in the continued growth of the Professionals network.

“Dominic and Jared have built a strong business and an excellent reputation in Papakura over many years. They understand their market and they understand their clients. With strong local relationships and an ambition and vision to keep evolving, they are exactly the type of business owners we want to join our co-operative Group. Their decision to join Professionals is a great endorsement of the direction of our brand and network. We’re incredibly pleased to welcome them and their team,” says Shaun.

A new chapter for an established local business

For Dominic and Jared, the move follows a period of considering what they wanted the next stage of their business to look like.

Having spent their entire real estate careers within the same network, changing brands was not a decision they took lightly. Ultimately, the opportunity to align their established local business with a modern brand and a collaborative network provided the platform they were looking for.

“We’ve been part of the Papakura community for a long time, and that isn’t changing. Our clients will continue to deal with the same local people they know and trust, but we now have a fresh brand and a new network behind us as we look to the future,” says Dominic.

“What stood out to us about Professionals was the direction the group is heading. The new brand is modern and progressive, and there is a genuine focus on supporting business owners to grow,” adds Jared.

“We see a lot of potential in what Professionals is building nationally and across Auckland. For us, this is an opportunity to bring together the strength of the business we’ve already built with a brand and network that aligns with where we want to go next.”

Local experience, backed by a national network

Professionals Papakura will continue to provide both residential sales and property management services, offering clients a full-service property business backed by the resources, technology and reach of the wider Professionals network.

The office joins a growing Professionals presence across Auckland and reflects the network’s focus on partnering with experienced, ambitious operators who bring strong local knowledge and established community connections.

Professionals operates as a co-operative model, with its business owners also being shareholders in the national group. This gives members the benefit of the best value fees in New Zealand plus a direct stake in the direction and success of the network.

“Growth for us is about finding the right people in the right markets,” says Shaun. “Dominic and Jared already have the experience, local presence and foundations of a successful business. Our role is to provide the brand, network and support that helps them build on that.”

For Dominic, Jared and their team, the new chapter represents an evolution rather than a reinvention.

“We’re proud of what our family and team have built in Papakura over the past 20 years, and we’re excited about what comes next,” says Dominic.

“It’s a fresh new look, but we’re still the same local team, with the same commitment to our clients and our community. We’re looking forward to opening more doors for people across Papakura with Professionals behind us.”
