Kate Fairmaid

I chose Whitefox primarily for their marketing and unique approach to selling real estate, which I felt aligned well with my property. It was a bit of a leap, given they hadn’t previously taken on a property in the Mackenzie District, but I was introduced to Kate and from the outset, her enthusiasm stood out in a way I hadn’t experienced with other agents. She embraced the opportunity to take on a more complex, non-standard property in a new region, and approached it with confidence and genuine interest. Her communication was consistently clear, and building trust with her came very easily. Her knowledge was strong, and where needed, her willingness to dig deeper and fully understand the property was obvious. The result was outstanding. Not only did she respect and support the value I saw in the property, but she also connected with a buyer who truly understood it, matching that same level of enthusiasm and insight. She managed a high volume of enquiry with professionalism, quickly identifying genuine purchasers and securing a strong offer in a short timeframe which was so impressive. From there, she guided the process through with diligence and care, maintaining transparency, trust, and a sense of fairness between both parties. The end result was a smooth, efficient, and timely transaction and a genuine connection between the purchasers and I. I now consider Kate both a trusted professional contact and a friend. She has absolutely reinstated my confidence in the value of a great agent, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Sara was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. No request or question was ever a problem, and she always came back to us promptly with clear answers. She kept us informed every step of the way and made herself available whenever we needed her, day or night. Her patience and calm approach made what could have been a stressful experience feel straightforward and manageable. We felt completely supported and in very capable hands from start to finish.

We selected Kate as our real estate agent mainly because we bought our property through her back in 2018. Because of her knowledge of our property, the market, and the marketing of the property, we were able to sell our apartment within a very short time from the date it was put on the market. This is incredible and we are very happy with the outcome. Kate has been very helpful all the way through our journey.

We can’t recommend Kate and Michelle from Whitefox highly enough. From day one they were professional, calm and steady — no over-the-top hard sell, no overpromising and under delivering. Just honest advice, clear communication and a genuinely easy working relationship. They took the time to properly understand our property in Arthur’s Point and the surrounding market. Their research was thorough, and they clearly understood the type of buyer our home would appeal to. We had two appraisals, and the difference was obvious — Whitefox knew the complex, the data and the clientele. That gave us real confidence. Their communication was 5-star throughout, and their marketing is genuinely a step above anything else we’ve seen in Queenstown. And on a personal note — they even walked our puppy dog! That level of care says a lot. We absolutely know we made the right decision choosing them.

I’ve worked with Kate on two occasions now - both with buying and selling my first home. Selling the home from out of Queenstown could have been a challenge but Kate and the wider Whitefox team were super helpful and clear in their communication the whole way through, which as a newbie made me feel really at ease with the process. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

We’re so glad we chose Kate and Matt to sell our home, they make such a great team and work together so well. They were incredibly helpful in preparing and presenting our property, offering great advice and making sure everything looked perfect. They sold our home so quickly, which was such a relief for our busy family with small children. We’re sure we’ll work with them again in the future.
