A keen golfer, he lives with his wife Cara and three children - Maia, Ava and Carter.
Mana believes his success comes from prioritising a process that’s stress-free for his clients, while focusing on maximising the return from their investment. “Over the years, I’ve learned that the best price comes from the best preparation,” he says.
When it comes to selling a property, Mana adapts his approach to each vendor’s unique situation. “I find devising creative and individual marketing campaigns tailored to the client and their property works better than a one-size-fits-all approach.”
