Licensed North Shore real estate professional with 25 years in hospitality and business. A trusted local known for energy, relationships, and hard work, delivering premium results with Sotheby’s world-class marketing and global reach.
Blake Allnutt is a licensed real estate professional with Sotheby’s International Realty in Takapuna, specialising in the premium North Shore market. A Milford local with more than 25 years in the hospitality industry, Blake has built a career on hard work, service, and creating lasting relationships. His background as a chef, business owner, and entrepreneur has given him the skills and drive to deliver exceptional results in real estate.
Blake’s career began in kitchens across Auckland before taking him overseas, where he worked as an executive chef and operations manager in London, France, Australia, and beyond. He cooked for luxury chalets, large-scale corporate events, and even celebrity weddings, often leading large teams and overseeing complex operations. These experiences demanded precision, creativity, and resilience — qualities that continue to define his professional approach today.
Returning to New Zealand, Blake channelled his entrepreneurial spirit into creating two successful North Shore businesses: Blake’s Providore and Bunty’s. Both quickly became community favourites, known for their quality and personal touch. Running these businesses refined his negotiation, marketing, and customer service expertise while deepening his ties to the local area.
Now in real estate, Blake combines his international experience, business acumen, and local knowledge to help clients buy and sell with confidence. His focus is always on listening, understanding goals, and tailoring strategies to suit. Known for his approachable manner, energy, and commitment, Blake is proud to represent clients with the backing of Sotheby’s world-class marketing and global reach.
Whether you are selling, searching for your dream home, or simply exploring the market, Blake offers trusted advice and a results-driven approach. For him, success is not just about transactions — it is about building lasting connections and helping people achieve their property goals.
