On September 2nd, at the TMC Conference and Awards, Uno Property Management once again shone brightly! We proudly brought home not just one but two awards – the Peanut Award and the Established Independent Excellence in Growth Award (Upper North Island), won by our very own Business Development Manager, Gratia Gu.

The highlight of the evening was Gratia’s incredible achievement in receiving the Growth Award – a recognition of her outstanding dedication, hard work, and professional excellence over the past year.

Over the last 12 months, Gratia has played a pivotal role in driving Uno’s new business growth. She is not only the engine behind our company’s expansion but also someone who turns potential leads into long-term partners through genuine relationships, tailored solutions, and consistently high-quality service.

What makes her stand out:

  • Project expertise – She has successfully secured and delivered entire development projects, showcasing Uno’s Build-to-Rent capabilities and end-to-end management strength.
  • Seamless onboarding – Beyond winning new business, Gratia personally assists landlords in transitioning smoothly to the property management team, from introductions to preparing listings – sometimes even attending viewings herself.
  • Team collaboration – She shares frontline feedback with our managers, helping refine pricing and services, ensuring the whole company benefits from her insights.
  • Commitment to growth – Gratia is constantly sharpening her skills through professional training, objection handling, AI tools, and efficiency systems – keeping herself and the team ahead of the curve.

Her journey is filled with inspiring stories.
One landlord, disheartened after bad experiences with two other companies, was hesitant to trust again. Instead of pushing for a quick deal, Gratia patiently followed up and shared real examples. In the end, the landlord told her: “You really feel more genuine – I can tell you care about my property.”
 Another client, who had originally decided to sell, came back months later to work with Uno again – all because of Gratia’s professionalism and ongoing support.

These are not just business wins – they are proof of her persistence, integrity, and care. That’s why Gratia is not only an excellent BDM but also an irreplaceable part of the Uno team.

Winning the Excellence in Growth Award is a true reflection of her talent and dedication, while the Peanut Award represents Uno’s unity and innovative spirit. Together, they put us once again in the spotlight of the industry.

This honor belongs to Gratia, and to every member of Uno.
And this is not the finish line – it’s only the beginning

At Uno Property Management, we will continue to grow with professionalism, integrity, and innovation – creating more value and pride for landlords, tenants, and the property management industry in New Zealand.
