About Klug
Klug is an independent commercial property advisory firm representing owners, investors, and occupiers. We define strategy, project-manage transactions, and appoint the best agency for execution.
Independent Property Advisory
For more than two decades, we have advised owners, investors, and occupiers across office, industrial, and retail assets in New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
Klug was founded with a singular purpose: to represent the client — not the transaction. Unlike traditional brokerage, Klug acts on the client side, providing independent strategy and project-managing the process. When a transaction is required, we appoint the most appropriate agency for the asset or mandate. This model allows our clients to benefit from independent strategic advice, access to the best agency for each transaction, and improved commercial outcomes.
As an independent advisory, we focus on protecting your interests rather than pushing transactions. We ground our approach in rigorous analysis and a commitment to long-term value creation.

Mike Hoeft
Director & Lead Advisor
Mike Hoeft is a commercial property professional with more than two decades of experience across New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdom. His career spans the full spectrum of commercial property — from institutional portfolio management and major retail development to network planning, transaction advisory, and international account management.
In New Zealand, Mike has led large-scale portfolio management programmes across office, industrial, and retail assets, held full P&L and balance sheet accountability, and managed complex lease negotiations and sale-and-leaseback transactions. He has driven major development programmes from feasibility through to delivery, and led network planning and site acquisition strategies across significant property portfolios. In Australia, he has provided strategic advisory services to owners and occupiers navigating complex property decisions.
In the United Kingdom, Mike held international management remits covering key account management for global corporate occupiers across EMEA, working at the highest levels of the institutional market. This international experience sharpened his understanding of how sophisticated investors and occupiers approach property decisions — and what separates good advice from great outcomes.
He founded Klug to bring that institutional depth directly to owners, investors, and occupiers who deserve independent, strategic advice. Klug represents the client, defines the strategy, and project-manages the process — appointing the best agency for execution when a transaction is required. Clients work directly with Mike throughout every engagement.
