Kate Le Brun brings a sophisticated, results-driven approach to Wānaka real estate, underpinned by her experience as a successful business owner and her academic background from the University of Otago, where she earned a Bachelor of Commerce and Arts. As a Partner at Ray White Wanaka, she has built a reputation for exceptional organisation, clear communication, and absolute integrity. But more than anything, it is the experience of working with Kate that clients remember and talk about long after settlement day.

Clarity in a Complex Market

In an industry often clouded by jargon and unnecessary complexity, Kate prioritises transparency. She treats every property as a unique asset and every client as an individual, crafting tailored marketing strategies that are the perfect fit for their situation. Her focus is on presenting each home with a clear, compelling hook that attracts the right buyers, and she is known for going the extra distance to make that happen, right down to the finest detail. Clients consistently praise her ability to keep them informed at every step and make what can be a stressful process feel straightforward and well managed.

A Local Perspective with a Professional Edge

Living in Wānaka for over a decade has given Kate a genuine connection to the region and its people. From the tranquil shores of Lake Hāwea to the vibrant community of Albert Town, she has experience selling across all these areas and understands what makes each market unique. Her warmth and genuine care for every client allows her to offer thoughtful guidance rather than a hard sell, educating, supporting and empowering people to make confident choices. Her commitment doesn't end at settlement either. Kate follows up, checks in, and ensures her clients feel supported well beyond the transaction.

Always Asking Where to Next

With a business-first mindset, Kate is always thinking ahead, helping clients stay ahead of the market and consistently exceeding expectations. Her reviews speak for themselves. Clients return to Kate not just because of the results she achieves, but because of how she makes them feel throughout the entire process. Informed, supported, and genuinely looked after.

Testimonials

Ruth Knewstubb

"We highly recommend Kate Le Brun to anyone looking for an exceptional real estate agent in Wanaka. We first met Kate when we arrived in Wanaka, and she made such a lasting impression that choosing her to sell our home was an easy decision. From the very first conversation, her professionalism and genuinely relatable approach gave us complete confidence that we were in safe hands. Kate strikes the perfect balance between polished expertise and a warm, personal touch — she made what can be a stressful process feel seamless and reassuring throughout. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent. 10/10 — we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kate to buyers and sellers alike."

Sarah Loader

"Kate went above and beyond to sell my property which proved to be trickier to sell than expected. She worked tirelessly to find the right buyer and put in endless hours holding open homes for 8 months straight. Her communication put all other agents to shame. She always made me feel like my property was her top priority and never put my property in the too hard basket like previous agents. Kate has been hands down the best agent I have dealt with and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a property."
