Meet Robyn Burns:
The Asset Advocate

The Asset Advocate is the culmination of over 20 years of asset management experience and a lifelong passion for property.

My career has spanned:

  • Shopping centre management and commercial leasing – spotting opportunities others miss.

  • Portfolio asset management – including 153 schools for the Ministry of Education.

  • Crisis management – overseeing $100M in property recovery following Cyclone Gabrielle.

This breadth of experience allows me to combine market expertise with a personalised, investor-first approach. Every recommendation is grounded in real-time data, industry benchmarks, and a clear understanding of your goals.
