Sovannara Meak

New Zealand,Auckland

Summary

I was born in Cambodia just after the Khmer Rouge which tormented my home country between 1975-1979.

My family was lucky to migrate to Auckland New Zealand 2 years later where I would grow up my whole life and call home.

All the experiences in my life I believe have given me the grit and mindset that is needed to achieve success in Real Estate which on the surface looks like glitz and glam but anyone who is industry knows it's hard work, dedication and a lot of sacrifice.

I have worked in various different sales roles over the past 12 years with 8 being a high performer at my current agency.

After following Dubai closely I am throwing everything on the line with the goal of becoming one of the best brokers in Dubai and making life-changing money.
