Kate Fairmaid
Managing Director
Kate entered real estate in 2016, a pivotal time as the industry transitioned from traditional to digital, and her timing couldn’t have been better.
With fresh tertiary knowledge and natural selling instincts, she has built a dynamic career specializing in off-the-plan sales and creating a bold, polished brand with WHITEFOX in New Zealand. Her early exposure to property through family, surrounded by construction and architects, gave her a unique ability to market homes beyond their potential.
Under Kate’s leadership, WHITEFOX has grown into a powerhouse in the South Island, opening a stunning waterfront office in Wanaka and becoming the agency of choice for homeowners and developers. In Queenstown, she has guided her team to exceptional success, personally achieving record sales, including a standout transaction at Arthur’s Point within the Canyon Ridge development. Her dedication to excellence has cemented WHITEFOX’s reputation and established Kate as one of the most respected voices in the industry.
For Kate, the art of The Deal lies in the craftsmanship of the campaign – representing each home in its best light. Dedicated, diligent, and direct, she earns the respect of her clients for her honesty and attention to detail. In an industry where actions speak louder than words, Kate’s consistent follow-through and results keep her team and clients loyal.
