Dushen Mallimaratchi

Dushen Mallimaratchi discovered his passion for real estate after purchasing his first home — a moment that sparked what has since become a highly successful career built on hard work, innovation, and a genuine drive to help people achieve their property goals.

Joining the industry in 2019, Dushen made an immediate impact, earning Rising Star recognition before quickly achieving Ray White Premier status based on total sales. Since then, he has built a strong reputation across South Auckland and the wider Auckland region for his strategic approach, calm nature, and ability to deliver outstanding results under pressure.

Specialising across Auckland and beyond — from the central city through to the Bombay Hills — Dushen is well known for thinking outside the box and creating campaigns that stand out in the market. He notably sold the first million-dollar property in Otara and later gained media attention for an innovative $1 reserve auction strategy that generated intense buyer competition and a successful result for his client.

Originally from Sri Lanka and having also lived in Australia, Dushen brings a diverse background and strong work ethic to real estate. Before entering the industry, he built a successful career in hospitality, working as a chef across Auckland and becoming a head chef at a young age for one of Auckland’s Metro Top 10 cafés/restaurants. The fast-paced, high-pressure environment of hospitality helped shape his ability to stay calm, organised, and client-focused — qualities that continue to benefit his real estate clients today.

Fluent in both English and Sinhalese, Dushen prides himself on building strong relationships with people from all walks of life. Backed by the Ray White Manukau team and mentored by some of Auckland’s top real estate negotiators, he has consistently achieved exceptional outcomes for his clients, including record prices within short timeframes.

Dedicated, hardworking, and approachable, Dushen is passionate about making the selling process as smooth and stress-free as possible. He understands that every property journey is personal and works tirelessly to ensure his clients feel supported, informed, and confident from start to finish.

Outside of real estate, Dushen enjoys spending his downtime fishing whenever he gets the chance.
