Arizto offers more for less
It all began with a couple of renegades from Northland who set out eight years ago to revolutionise customary real estate trading procedures and save New Zealanders money.
Read moreAnkit Sharma has always been drawn to roles where he can genuinely help people. Real estate felt like the perfect blend of people, problem-solving and business. Buying or selling a home is a big life decision, and Ankit wanted to be part of that journey in a meaningful way.
He got his start by learning the fundamentals of the industry from the ground up and quickly realised that success comes down to three things: trust, consistency and putting people first. That understanding has shaped every aspect of how he works today.
“Focus less on trying to sell and more on building genuine relationships. The results follow naturally when people trust you. Consistency is everything in this industry. Small daily actions compound over time.”
At Arizto, Ankit found a model that gives him the flexibility and client-first approach he was looking for. “It allows me to offer better value, like no upfront costs and competitive fees, while still delivering a premium level of service.” The structure gives him the freedom to focus on what really matters: building relationships, marketing properties effectively and achieving the best outcomes for his clients.
Ankit’s approach is built around transparency, smart marketing and strong communication. By combining Arizto’s modern systems with tailored marketing strategies, he creates more exposure for each property while keeping costs efficient. He makes sure clients are well-informed at every step so they can make confident decisions.
In today’s market, Ankit believes clarity and honesty are what matter most. “Buyers want confidence in what they are purchasing, and sellers want clear guidance on pricing and strategy. In a shifting market, strong communication and realistic expectations are more valuable than ever.”
He is keen to challenge the myth that all agents are the same. “In reality, the difference often comes down to the strategy, attention to detail, and the effort invested behind the scenes. Real estate is a commitment to being available when it matters. Every enquiry is treated as a genuine opportunity to create competition and move my clients closer to achieving the best possible result.” Another persistent myth is that higher commission and bigger brands always equals better results. “The reality is, today’s buyers are well-informed and focused on the property itself. They’re not driven by the colour of the For Sale signboard; they’re driven by whether they can see themselves in your house as their home.”
His advice to sellers is focused on the fundamentals. “Focus on presentation and first impressions. Small improvements like decluttering, freshening up interiors and maintaining the outdoor areas can make a significant difference.” He also encourages sellers to be open to market feedback early on, as it helps position a property correctly from the start.
One of the biggest lessons Ankit has taken from his work is that every client’s situation is unique. “Listening is key. Understanding their motivation and goals allows me to tailor the right strategy rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.”
Ankit works across Marlborough, a region he describes as offering an incredible lifestyle. From vineyards and coastal areas to a strong sense of community, it is a place where you can truly balance work and quality of life. Suburbs like Springlands and Witherlea are consistently popular, but there are also hidden gems in places like Picton and Rai Valley that offer great value and lifestyle opportunities.
The market has become more balanced over recent years, moving from a fast-paced seller’s market to a more considered environment. “This means strategy, pricing and presentation have become even more important.” It is exactly the kind of market where a thoughtful, data-driven approach makes the biggest difference.
Outside of real estate, Ankit enjoys spending time with his family, exploring new business ideas and staying up to date with technology and marketing trends. He also loves road trips and making the most of what New Zealand has to offer.
If he could list a property for any celebrity, it would be Elon Musk. “Mainly because of his forward-thinking mindset. It would be interesting to work with someone who approaches decisions with a completely different perspective and values innovation as much as results.”
